**Margaret Pardana** is a powerful sorceress born into the Padrana family of pure-blood Aldeans. She used to be member of the Oddball Squad before the events of Omega Killer.

## Bio:

Margaret Padrana was born on the dark world of Venine to the mighty Padrana family. She spent much of her young life on her family’s estate protected from the dark creatures of her home world. Though Loving her parents were barely present in her life due to their busy lives, and her only friends were her brother Daniel and sister Dila. During her youth, her world was struck by a cursed moon which drove people to madness. Margaret would look on this moon only to be taken back to safety by her father.

### Initiate:

At the age of eight she was asked by both the Milli’s School of Magic and the Guild of Sorceries to join their respective organisations. Her father Toro being a pompous man chose the more prestigious of the two and soon she was enrolled into the Guild.

Though initially shy, she was soon met by a young Iceimi girl named Isla Kaur and the two became friends. She soon made several other friends, including: **Harrison Brooks, Ann Roch***,***Michael Weidemann** and**Zedaz Doestegh** and together they formed the Oddball Squad. They lived and trained together until their apprenticeship trials. There she would be witness to Isla’s swearing it upon Fritlizi’s Plateau and the others’ trials. She would then take the Trial of Ferocity where she duelled a fellow student named **Corneus**.She managed to beat the young man, earning the attention of Master Sherry Shen.

### Apprenticeship:

She trained for many years under Master Shen, where she grew in power but was also more closed off from others. She studied hard and grew to control her powers with great precision. Despite being now less sociable, she still was close to her friends in the Oddball Squad.

Years passed and she only grew in power. During this time, she witnessed her mentor kill a thief in the streets of Albranga.

Just before her senior year as an apprentice, she along with Ann Roch travelled to the Free Boro of Torisal where she encountered a dark presence. This terrified her even when talking about it to her friends months later.

After talking about this to her friends, they got into a fight with Allego Spunk and his gang. Sherry was very angry with her over this. Her luck became even worse when she got into a fight with her best friend Isla Kaur and she accidently fell out a window to her death. She was filled with so many emotions including sorrow anger and the odd taste of joy. She even got into a fight with Ann over religion. She would make up with Ann thanks to Zedaz and the group would head to Isla's funeral in Inof. Afterwards she would continue her apprenticeship.

Things went from bad to worse after the death of her long time rival Gemma and the belief that a Sadraian had infiltrated the school. She would chase down the suspected Sadraian and killed him, only to find out later that he was innocent.

A month later she returned to her home in the Padrana Estate where she met with Zikkim, the Head of the Council of Defense and his partner Denari and spoke about the ancient Aldeans. While still on Venine, she would meet her family’s arch-enemy Ratimir Nox and they bonded over their shared dislike of their father figures, her father and the man who turned him into a vampire. He would teach her many things and some dark magic. Together they created a new form of magic that drew power from the painful emotions of others. She left her home with disappointment about her parents absence and returned to the school. Months later, she decided to test her new magic and turned Fran Lorren into a walking bomb and after returning from a trip to Stedly Castle which was caused by her murder of Fran, she was walking about the school with her friend Ann when she found a strange girl who sold her a trinket. She was then questioned by a master of the guild Teredanyis Sinborin. She was frustrated by all this investigation and when she found out that Master Sinborin was onto her actions, she killed him.

Feeling upset by this, he tried to calm down by taking a trip downtown with Nattala the Harpy. On their way back to the school, they heard a ruckus and found Zedaz injured and in early stages of fungus infection, he would warn them about Rogan and his Sovani infection. They fled and warned the Master's Moot of the Fungus, before being evacuated to a shelter. Margaret was among those sent to destroy the Fungus' hive, and would witness Unnamed succeeding in that task.

### Masherian:

Her plans reached their conclusion when she kidnaped Allego and killed Marcy Persini, bringing both back to her lair; here she also released the demon Relini upon the Guild. She would kidnap Michael and interrogated him and Allego, learning of Neithon, the Sadraian’s codename. When Allego refused to give up his lady’s plans, she killed him for his defiance. Soon afterwards, her former friends from the Oddball Squad arrived and tried to stop her but were easily defeated to by her new-found power. She would have killed them had Kurban not intervened, starting a duel with her.

She managed to kill him, but realised he was only a distraction as Anselm and Henry Carin would chase her; she escaped and found herself face-to-face with an enraged Loreta Nuno who trapped her in a room with several Kiem Knights. She fought with them and even killed one of them before being defeated. She was spared and arrested by Bleg Anderson and dragged off, passing by many angry former friends and classmates.

She would spend many years imprisoned in the Council facility at Hatkargate.

### Fall of the House of Padrana:

Thirteen years later, the Order of Kiem decided to transport her from Hatkargate to their Tower at Losart, in order to study her new magics to create a proper defensive strategy against it.

But as the knights were transporting her, Ratimir Nox, who was plotting her escape, allied with a hooded stranger and his associates. They ambushed the Knights, killed a few and freed Margaret before more could come.

Ratimir would help Margaret recover form her imprsionment and healed her wounds, giving her the two halves of the pole formerly used by Kurban, now carved into powerful instruments of dark magic.

The vampire would ask for her aid in bringing down her family and she agreed learning to hate her kin in her years of neglect and later imprisonment.

She would return to her home, greeting her father with feigned remorse for her actions years earlier and begging to be hidden from Council authorities. Always having a soft spot for his daughter, he agreed and hid Margaret from all others and secretly fed her and cared for her for several weeks, as Margaret searched for the seal.

Eventually she found it, and shattered it, letting Ratimir's forces into the estate. She transformed the nursemaid Grery Tabadash into a ghoul before joining in the slaughter. During the battle she cornered her mother and siblings, killing her mother as her siblings fled into the tunnels, her brother Daniel swearing revenge upon her as he did so.

### The Rise of Chaos:

In the year 2005, she was among the Planeswalkers brought into the plane of Ashala by Dirth Nerku, an elder dragon with delusions of godhood. She would simply watch the battle and slaughter rather then get involved in the War of Sparks and Dragons.

## Personality:

Margaret Padrana was known for being shy and unsocial. She was often distant from other people, besides her friends in the Oddball Squad.
