Lacrimosa

Lacrimosa was, in a past life, a feared witch who once inhabited Elium during the early part of the Grand Age.

Death and Rebirth
When children from a nearby logging village began to disappear, she was accused, and later captured by a group of witch hunters. She was hung without a trial, for people had little tolerance for wild folk.

Prior to her death, Lacrimosa was favored by the archdemon Valefar, for both her seductive beauty and impressive power. In the afterlife she would become his accomplice, but initally rejected being his consort.

Meeting Arkan Dragic
After fusing herself with a dying Empusa, Lacrimosa became one herself, and her already vast power tripled. She was unintentionally summoned by the warlock Arkan Dragic when he was attempting to summon a Balor to do his bidding. Attracted to his ambition, she soon became a frequent visitor of his, and eventually the relationship took a romantic turn. She was a jealous woman, however, and once she suspected that the noble woman Rosamund had become romantically linked with her object desire, she promptly destroyed the woman. This exposed her presence to the Council, and she was banished, while her lover was exiled.

Unable to return to the physical plane during this time, she returned to Valefar, whom had begun to grow increasingly hostile towards her continued rejection of him. After Valefar threatened to pay a visit to Arkan and dispose of him so Lacrimosa would no longer be distracted, she finally agreed to become his consort.

Arkan's Revenge
Arkan was not through with his demonic lover, however, and soon managed to find a way to summon her to the Pinnacle. After one last intimate encounter, she rejected him as a lover, and this rejection lead to Arkan's final mental breakdown. She returned to her hellbound husband, and he began his plan to steal her back, by stealing Valefar's power and becoming an archdemon of Hell himself.

When Arkan finished making the Confutatis Maledictis, he summoned and imprisoned her in order to lure Valefar to the Pinnacle. Using a powerful holy circle made for him by the bishop Nimrod Felt, whom he blackmailed by threatening to destroy the town he lived in, he held the archdemon at bay while he casted the curse on him. The people of Ieuan were slain regardless, but Arkan had not anticipated the circle being destroyed once Nimrod's soul was consumed, giving Valefar the opportunity to strike. The archdemon, though mortally weakened due to the curse, managed to kill Arkan before it could be completed, but the resulting aftermath resulted in the destruction of most of the Ymn Pennisula and it's inhabitants.

Aftermath
Lacrimosa managed to survive the destruction, and returned to her slain husband's realm to rule it herself. She gave birth to a son, Dantalion, who turned out to be Arkan's son.
