Madame Satan

Madame Satan by Caroline Leigh Layne

## **Post -Entropy History**

   Little is known of Madame Satan's origin. She claims to be a Devil or Demon, born the shores of Hell itself (Perdition specifically, south of Gehenna). She first made her presence known as a member of the Secret Society of Mu. She worked with Sovereign Sorcerer against Alexander Fortune and Glory as the two of them attempted to get an ancient artifact. Since then, they have joined forces multiple times with others of the Secret Secret Society in hopes of obtaining Galactica from the Flight of Champions. She and Sovereign Sorcerer both see the fledgling galaxy as a source of unimaginable power.

When Galactia was brought to the Mu Society's attention, she orchestrated a number of the faction to come together and use their powers to acquire it for themselves. Where as the Broker invested powered individuals and Sovereign Sorcerer donated his vast magical albitites and knowledge, Madame Satan brought occult knowledge, galactic and pandimentional workings, and most importantly, invested words in the right ears. She had a number of business professionals and government officials under her control, either through magic, temptations, or blackmail that she was able to conjure up passports, legal obstacles, social media backdoors, and a small army of devoted followers and those willing to sell their soul.

While she is usually see at Sovereign Sorcerer's side, she too has her own agenda. Madame Satan is a master schemer and lives for temptation. Seeing others dance to her tune fills her with delight. Since she feeds on "sin" she goes out of her way to bargain, tempt, and encourage malicious behavior. She usually operates behind the scenes rather than as a frontline combatant. She schemes, manipulates, and tempts but isn't beyond magical power and mind control.

When Sovereign Sorcerer was feared dead, she performed a ritual in London. This involved kidnapping Web Girl and seeing what sin Junebug might bring to her. She believed that Junebug had "less than honorable" intentions towards Web Girl rather than his brotherly feelings and that Lust would fuel the ritual. What he brought was Griffin, a elite warrior of the Queen's Lyons. While she was able to control Junebug enough to try to stop Griffin, Griffin was able to bring Satan down. But Griffin's fury and anger after Junebug and Web girl skipped out on their deal was enough emotional energy for Satan to channel to complete the ritual without the others being aware of it.

After resurrecting Sovereign, Madame was seen as a threat, a threat that has garnered the attention of Athame, Monkey Queen, and Burlesque. Each of the heroes felt her attempt and control through Sovereign in their own way and have begun to examine how deep her control really goes. The three of them, along with Glory, Cosmic Girl, and Starstruck formed "Stars and Garters" in an attempt to find out what she is really planning.

## **Powers and Abilities**

### **Powers**

Madame Satan's primary power stems from a form of Empathic Vampirism. Strong emotions, particularly those linked to the Seven Deadly Sins give her strength and fuel her magical abilties. She can coax these emotional reactions from others using whispered words and temptations. She took control of Junebug with the phrase "Do you think [Griffin] is going to keep Web Girl safe?" This lead Junebug to believe that Griffin would harm Web Girl which set off his protective feelings (Wraith). The stronger the emotions she feeds off of, the faster she can heal and grow stronger physically.

### **Abilities**

Besides being a master manipulator, temptress, and emotional tactician, Madame Satan can cast spells and has a vast occult knowledge. While not at the level of Sovereign, she is more than a match for the average person.

### **Strength level**

Normally she would possess the strength of a normal human woman who engages in extensive exercise but in the presence of strong sins, she can increase that to be able to lift 2 Tons.

### **Weaknesses**

It is unknown if strong faith actually affects her or if she is falling to the psychological pitfall of believing she is a judeochristian devil, but those who possess strong will and "Seven Virtues" in their hearts are immune to her affects. She also tends to avoid holy areas such as consecrated ground, some (but not all) churches, and places of worship.
