Circe

## **Origins**

Circe was believed to be born to the titans Perseis and Hyperion, but she was actually born to Hecate and she ruled as a princess of Colchis in 1200 B.C. She was married to Telemachus, who betrayed her by abandoning her, however she killed him after this, resulting in her immediate exile from Greece. After this, she sold her soul to Hecate for mystical powers as an eternal seeker of justice for wronged women.

She also believes that magic will one day rule the entire world with her as the primary deity of worship and her armies of Beastiamorphs destroying those who challenged her power. She also has a specific hatred towards the Amazons as their notions of equality and living in a peaceful existence with others rival her own beliefs. As a result, she has become one of their many enemies.
