## History

### Birth

At the same time as the birth of Diana to Hippolyta, the Amazonian assassin Myrina gave birth to the daughter of Darkseid in secret, aided by Penelope and watched by the oracle Menalippe. Upon the birth of the young girl, Grail was defended by her mother from Penelope, who heard of the prophecy from Menalippe of the destruction that would be caused by the girl when she grew. After murdering Menalippe, Myrina fled Themyscira, bringing her daughter with her as the first Amazons to leave the island.

### Hand of Uxas

Welcomed within her father's house, where Granny Goodness began to train her as Darkseid's personal assassin, raised in Granny Goodness's Orphanage, with her trained in combat and espionage. Over time Darkseid began to favor Grail, over her half-siblings Kalibak and Grayven. After a final test in which she successfully broke into General SteppenWolf's private quarters. In order to accomplish her mission, Grail, posing as a guest at a formal event at Steppenwolf's residence, feigned illness in order to get away from the other guests.

She then retrieved a sack of equipment and descended down the side of the building to the room containing Steppenwolf's private safe. While she was breaking in, a group of guards came in—actually Parademons—and she engaged them. However, upon sensing that one of the guards was living, she knocked him out rather than kill a soldier willing to give his life in a training exercise. Darkseid was pleased with her skills and she was pronounced the Hand of Uxas.

Grail carried out Darkseid's will on numerous worlds, eliminating New Gensisian military leaders, traitors, and others who he deemed deserving of death or judgment. His esteem for her was such that he actually allowed her time for relaxation, atypical of Darkseid's usual style. At some point she crossed paths with Gamora, the deadliest woman in the galaxy, their encounter resulted in the two becoming bitter enemies. She also had encounters with Angela, the daughter of Odin. The two would have a on and off again romantic relationship.
