Pandora

**Pandora** was originally a woman born during the Age of Myths, who became the first Guardian of Pandora's Box and a powerful magical entity in her own right.

## History

As a child, her father beat her so much and so frequently that she lost all power of speech. He claimed that God had spoken to him and commanded him to treat her this way. While boasting of her innocence, he sold her into slavery to the deities of the Greek Pantheon. They bestowed immortality upon her, and gave her important duties to fulfill -- primarily taking offerings from humans to deities each day. These offerings appeared to be two chalices filled with blood, one of which she delivered to the Greek Pantheon, and the other of which she delivered to a cavern where dwelled the Hidden One.

Eventually, Pandora regained the power of speech. Almost immediately after, she convinced the deities to allow lions to devour her father.

One day, Pandora brought a flower to the Hidden One, telling him that she sought to bring him a little bit of joy. He kissed her hand. Emboldened, she asked why he remained hidden in the dark while other deities enjoyed the light of day. He explained that he had been charged with guarding a box which contained a great many evils that had been banished from the world. As their relationship blossomed, the Hidden One granted Pandora tremendous powers.

And then Pandora opened the box, unleashing the evils contained upon the deities themselves. Seeing what she had wrought, Pandora helped to put the escaped monstrosities back inside their prison and became the Guardian of Pandora's Box. With his duty passed on to another, the Hidden One came into the world and for a moment he and Pandora were free to be together in the open.

However, humankind saw the Hidden One as evil and he was soon banished from the Earth. The Catacombs of the Dead became their own pocket dimension to contain him. Pandora swore to spend the rest of her immortal life searching for a way to bring the Hidden One back. The deities took the box from her, stripping her of role as Guardian and passing it to an ordinary human girl. However, they could not strip her of the power she had been granted by her banished lover. She created a new Box of Evil where she could contain, and tame, and control various monsters she encountered.
