Circe

Circe, also known as the Weaver or the Goddess of Magic, was an ancient and powerful sorceress. Born of the Titan Hyperion and a mortal woman, Circe was said to be unparalleled in beauty and radiance. She was the princess of the Greek nation Colchis, but after murdering her husband was driven from her kingdom. In her exile, Circe found refuge on the island Aeaea and met the goddess Hecate, who instructed her in the ways of magic to serve as an instrument of revenge against the Olympian gods.
Under the apprenticeship of Hecate, Circe grew in power and knowledge and aided the goddess in her machinations against the Olympians and humanity. Seeking revenge against the people who exiled her, Circe returned to her homeland and demonstrated her new powers by razing the city of Colchis. Stunned by the atrocity, the Olympians sent Ares to kill Circe and Hecate. However, the two sorceresses appealed to the God of War over their shared distaste of humanity and Ares decided to spare them and, upon returning to Zeus, lied about killing them.
Over the next few years Circe remained in hiding with Hecate until, eventually, Ares betrayed the Olympians and incited the War of the Gods in which he slaughtered his fellow gods, with Circe and Hecate aiding the God of War in their crusade. However, Ares's bloodlust grew to the point he ended up betraying even his own allies, killing Hecate as a result. As she died, Hecate transferred a portion of her soul and powers to Circe, granting her apprentice immortality and power beyond what a mortal could obtain. After the death of Zeus, Circe remained hidden from the world on Aeaea to avoid Ares' gaze, plotting her eventual rise to ultimate power.
