Dr. Lilith Constance

Name: Flavia Valeria Constantina

Alias: Lillian "Lilith" Constantiana (21st century)

Faye Blanc (20th century)

Alexandra Halliwell (19th century)

History:

Lilith was an ambitious witch born into a realm divided by gender roles. While men learned sorcery and power, women were relegated to alchemy, potions, midwifery, and home protection. Lilith’s path was no different—she was expected to become a healer for her coven. However, caring for the plague-ridden and dying repulsed her. 

Lilith was close to her father until he mysteriously vanished. Her mother, bitter and angry, blamed Lilith and her brother Adam for his abandonment. Lilith couldn’t bear her mother’s accusations. She idolized nobility, envying their life of ease and yearning for wealth and status. She believed she deserved to be cared for, not forced to labor like her family.

Lilith’s natural beauty and charisma became her greatest asset. Like other women in Limbo Town, she was taught to use magic that men couldn’t, including spells of enchantment. Her vanity allowed her to climb social ranks, creating an alter ego named "Briar Wolf," a widowed countess. She charmed young suitors, using her spells to evade revealing too much of her true identity. 

As her alter ego grew in prominence, she ruthlessly distanced herself from her family. She even had her husband purchase her mother's property and evict them, forcing her mother and brother into poverty. Lilith demolished the home and replaced it with a rose garden, “Briar Memorial Park.” 

When her husband had an affair, Lilith smiled through his confession, playing the role of the dutiful wife. But she took revenge. Her husband fell ill with severe abdominal pain and died shortly after. Doctors attributed his death to gastrointestinal bleeding, unaware Lilith had poisoned him. She played the grieving widow perfectly and soon returned to society in search of her next husband.

By the time she married her fourth husband, Lilith had enough wealth and influence to dine with royalty. But her brother Adam never forgot her betrayal. After her fifth husband’s death, Adam framed Lilith for the murder, using her signature methods. Authorities finally exposed her as a serial killer, and Lilith was sentenced to hang.

Lilith escaped the gallows but swore vengeance on Adam. She changed her identity and started her cycle anew, manipulating wealthy men to secure her comfort.

**Personality:** 

Lilith is vain, lazy, and deeply resentful of her mother’s lower-class status. Her cruelty extends to both her family and others she deems beneath her. She is motivated solely by wealth and comfort, showing no desire for power or recognition beyond maintaining her lavish lifestyle. Her charisma and beauty mask her shallow nature, allowing her to blend into high society.

**Abilities:** 

- **Longevity:** Lilith has an extended lifespan, remaining youthful for centuries. 

- **Psychic Link:** She shares a powerful mental bond with her familiar, Cadfael, allowing her to see through Cadfael’s eyes. 

- **Sorcery:** She excels in black magic. 

- **Necromancy:** She can reanimate and command the undead. 

- **Telekinesis, Flight, Invisibility, Energy Constructs**

**Witch-Woman Abilities:** 

- **Shapeshifting, Enchantment, Nature Magic** 

- **Healing:** She can heal minor wounds and absorb others’ pain, often used in midwifery and medicine.

**Weaknesses:** 

Lilith’s biggest flaw is her lack of ambition. Despite her great potential, she only pursues endeavors that enable her codependent lifestyle. She enjoys tormenting others for minor transgressions and has no qualms about ruining lives for her own gain. Her vanity and shallowness make her incapable of forming deep relationships.

After centuries, she remains terrified of anything around her neck due to her near-execution by hanging.

Name:

Adam

Alias: 21st Century Adam Heart Atom (Music) 19th Century Victor Riley 18th Century Aidan Halliwell

Abilities:

Expert writer, music composer, singer, violinist and pianist. He is incredibly gifted with the performing arts and has spent most of his immortal life as a musician.

Powers: Immortality- While Adam has a long life, his healing factor is limited. He can be killed through extreme measures. Hymn of the Divine- Adam's voice can temporarily enchant and hypnotize people. He can make them impressionable. However it cannot overtake their full autonomy. It only serves to make ones mind suggestable.

Electrokenisis Technokenisis

Weaknesses:

Adam has experienced a long life. He will go through long cycles of borderline catatonic depression, manic spells, and cycles of extreme mood changes.

It's thought he is Bi-polar, however much of his behavior can be attributed to his long lifespan and the experiences having taken a toll on his mind.

His powers have been known to be volatile when he has a depression or manic spell.

Adam struggles to maintain close relationships. His experiences can rarely be relatable to other people. Because of that, his views and experiences make it harder for him to relate to others in turn.

While he is a full time musician, he can't quite turn the corner on his music career. His music has a very niche market, and not the tastes of the mass market.

He is impulsive, arrogant, and selfish a lot of the time.

In relationships with both men and women, Adam can be dangerously toxic. His arrogance and narcissistic behavior can make him unwilling and unmotivated to take his partner's feelings and desires into consideration. Communication breaks down frequently, leading to fights and misunderstandings.

Background:

History:

Adam was among the first. Like Eve, he was the first man to walk the planet. He learned to use his electrokenisis and helped mankind learn.

He was considered God's golden son, however when he chose the path of knowledge, he was cast out along with eve.

Present Day:

Having lived for so long, he has experienced the rise wnd fall of empires, war, and death. He doesn't try to change it, rather he embraces the changing times with wonder.

Adam is a solo artist know by the name "Atom." He has worked alongside artists like Luka Couffaine.

Adam's heart:

While God tasked him to marry women and help procreate, his heart lied with his male lovers throughout history.

Adam is hyper selective of men he chooses. His first love, Aidan, made him challenge the definition of love.

It wasn't uncommon for Adam to show men their heart's inner desires. Most his lovers were closeted homosexuals.

Rarely however, Adam would be rejected by a man's advances.

Canon

Beulah Bleak, was a witch like any other in her realm. The times were simple and divided. While men played war games and learned combat and power sorcery, women were expected to work quietly. They were expected to learn all about alchemy, potions, and spells, dedicated to medicine, midwifery, and home protection.

She was no exception to this rule. In fact, Beulah was expected to become a healer of her coven. However, tending to the plague infested and the dying made her stomach churn. She was close to her father until he vanished one night without a trace. Her mother told her and Klarion that Mordecai abandoned them, and blamed it on them.

She couldn't stand it. Beulah idolized the life of nobility and the seemingly easiness of their world. She wanted status and to be cared for by a man. Her family had to labor for their livelihood and respect, she deserved to have them handed to her-- or so she believed.

Beulah had a gift, her beauty and charisma. Like other witch women in Limbo Town, she was taught magic that men weren't. This was how one could use their innate "gifts" to their advantage. For Beulah, that was her vanity.

While she maintained an air of mystery, beneath her pure and youthful face, was an unremarkably vain woman. She desired two things, money and others to serve her. Her mother's relentless cruelty and her lower class station, made Beulah resentful of her mother and other women. Her resentment grew into malice with passing years. She hated her mother for "allowing herself to stay poor." In Beulah's mind, her mother's power could bend others to her will. Ultimately elevating their family out of poverty. Eventually she would commit cruel acts against her brother and mother out of spite.

As she grew older, she found ways to immerse herself among aristocrats. Beulah created an alter ego named "Briar Wolf." A widowed countess from across the seas. This caricature played up the charm and mystery by flirting with the young suitors. Using spells of enchantment, she learned how to skirt semantics about her life with those she mingled with.

She became a regular face within elite circles, and was always seen hanging on the arm of a young suitor.

Her arrogance and alter ego went to her head. Feeling as though she was untouchable. Her cruelty to her family didn't end. She had her husband purchase her mother's property from underneath them and evict them, forcing Klarion and her mother to live on the streets. Once Beulah's family was evicted, she had the place demolished and turned into a rose garden named "Briar Memorial Park."

When Beulah's husband was caught having an affair, Briar smiled through the confession. As a wife of the era, she was expected to play a role; sweet, silent and to tend to the matters of the home. Beulah did so with no complaint. After all, tending to ones home didn't mean she couldn't do pest control.

One night, her husband struck ill. He complained of abdominal pain and respiratory distress. One week later, he died. Doctors attributed his death to gastrointestinal bleeding.

Beulah played her role perfectly. Along with wearing all black silks for a week, she wept crocodile tears for his "tragic and unexpected" death.

Eventually, Beulah returned to the social circle of suitors to find her next husband.

Women began teasing she was a "black widow." Her husbands seemed to have one fatal tragedy after the next. Still, investigators of the town, cleared her of suspicion each time.

By husband number four, she had enough wealth and socialites wrapped around her fingers, that she dined in the court of the Kings. Beulah effectively built an empire of glass. A well crafted illusion that she was a countess searching for "true love."

She set her eyes on the king's only heir and the wealth that came with it. While she forgot about her family, her brother hadn't forgotten her.

Klarion set the perfect trap. After killing Beulah's fifth husband, Klarion staged the death to look like she did it. With each husband's death, he learned her signature and M.O. He adapted it as her lifestyle changed, but the signature-- her signature never changed.

She was exposed for the five murders she committed and sentenced to be hanged the following morning.

Beulah was hung the next morning. For the first time in her life she felt real fear. However, she escaped but vowed to destroy Klarion for exposing her as a killer.

She changed her identity and settled in a different place, starting the cycle once again. Beulah found wealthy men to use and disposed of. Wealth and comfort remained her ever growing obsession.

Personality

At her core, she is vain and lazy. She is bitter and spiteful toward her mother for being of low social class.

She is sadistic and bitter, however, she isn't inherently clever or wise beyond her magical background and her enchantment. Her shallowness makes it hard to keep relationship.

Beulah's charisma and vanity is her best and only true asset. She can feign pleasantries to best immerse herself with the aristocrats. However, it's superficial. She isn't smart and leads an unremarkable and sheltered life.

Beulah doesn't seek power or recognition. Only money and care takers to do things for her. Even though she seeks out men, it's only due to their wealth and power. They're tools to exercise power and solidify security for her.

Weaknesses

Beulah's biggest weakness is her lack of motivation. She is selfish and lazy. While she is capable of great power and influence, she chooses not to pursue anything that doesn't continue to enable her codependent lifestyle.

Beulah only wants others to care and do things for her; to treat her like royalty and reap the rewards for things she refuses to work for.

She is spiteful and sadistic. She enjoys tormenting others for small transgressions.

She is extremely povertist and will have people evicted and living on the streets, just because they're poor.

Beulah is capable of great power, especially her enchantment, however she refuses to lift a finger unless it contributes to her diluded lifestyle.

She becomes anxious and fearful of items around her neck. Having been hung, she is extremely panicked by objects being tied around her next. Even after centuries the fear is still real.
