### Early Life

At some point during her childhood, Celine Baxter was diagnosed with autism.

### *Hydro-Dark 2*

Since Amphitrite's arrival into Earth changed everything, Lamia managed to survive and avoid the demigoddess of destruction's wrath and was hiding out in the city sewers for most of the time.

Lamia is later seen stalking the resistance as they take Amphitrite's body away in their truck, she then follows a group of resistance members to an abandoned section of the city where she corners one of them, she then presents her breasts to him and asks him if he likes them. The man reacts with fear and tries to shoot her but Lamia grabs his arm and kicks him, tearing his arm off in the process.

As she consumes him, the other resistance member arrives and finds the graphic scene before reaching is truck to drive away. However, Lamia manages to latch onto the vehicle in time. The truck takes her to the resistance bunkers, she attacks the man and he ends up crashing into a nearby tree. As he climbs out onto the ground, Lamia observes him from the roof of the vehicle before approaching him. She asks him if he likes her, but he insults her.

This causes Lamia to go into a rage, and she rips him apart. Lamia then enters the bunkers and begins attacking everyone inside, As she travels down a hallway, Lamia encounters her uncle Gideon who is wielding Amphitrite's Tempus sword and is ready to attack his niece. Lamia utters the word "uncle" as Amphitrite arrives at the scene. A group of survivors, Kevin and Clifton escape the bunker as Lamia sets her sights on Amphitrite. Clifton detonates a bunch of C4 he had planted and escorts Kevin to the helipad so the can evacuate.

Amphitrite exits the inferno as does Lamia who attacks her uncle Gideon once again as he holds Kevin and Clifton at gunpoint. Lamia rips Gideon's head off before turning her attention to Amphitrite, she launches an attack by biting into her wrist and kicking her in the stomach. Amphitrite uses her elbow to strike Lamia down, she begins moving towards the survivors but Lamia jumps onto the demigodess' back and bites into her neck before they both fall off of the helipad.

As they both land, Lamia manages to pin Amphitrite down and digs her claw into her opponent's eye. Amphitrite angrily grabs Lamia's wrists and headbutts the reptile, she then grabs Lamia's tail and swings her into a pipe before she falls onto a roof below. Amphitrite approaches the downed Lamia and begins pummelling her face with her fists until she bleeds, Kevin manages to escape after Clifton perishes but Lamia jumps onto and clings to the helicopter. Amphitrite then throws her sword at the helicopter which causes it to go down and crash into the forest below, taking Lamia with it.

Lamia's fate is unknown.
