Poor Athena, losing the vote because she's locked behind a few hundred hours of game time in an optional raid.
So lemme learn ya something for those outside of ffxiv
(Spoilers for FFXIV: Endwalker ahead, please just play the raids you won't regret it)
Athena is an ancient evil warden/researcher for a prison full of fucked up monsters, who got married and had a son, only to do fucked up experiments on her own kid to see just how much evil and trauma she could pump into a new kind of monster made out of a person. Her husband tried to lock her away in a crystal but that wasn't enough, he was so horrified of the woman he married, he lobotomized all the memories he had of her and locked those away too to keep himself and his son safe and trauma free.
Upon escaping, she kidnaps all the other wardens and turns them into demons, with the purpose of killing her husband so she can steal her son back to ascend to godhood by corrupting and stealing his body so that she can destroy the world. You the player get involved, only cause her son cries out through time and space to reach you, and have to stop her from manipulating her son cause boy is desperate to learn about his mother and his dad refuses to tell him anything, not knowing his momma only cares about eating his soul so she can become a god, so she plays around trying to speedrun the cycle of abuse to trick her son into joining her cause "you'd be less traumatized if you just let me hurt you, your dad and all your loved ones y'know?".
You foil a few of her plans before she sees into your mind and learns about how the ancient world ends, the future you come from, and how people in the future are only a fraction of the power available to even the lamest ancient person, so she yeets the prison into the future, landing it into the heart of all magical life force in order to absorb those innocent souls to fuel her transformation into evil fucked up divinity. She is able to take control of the ancient embodiment of temperance, someone so level headed and kind, and uses his desire to see how strong you really are to corrupt him into a monster you have to kill. Only then, are you greeted with this banger of a boss theme
If anything else, reading the comments on this youtube video will give you a solid idea just how fucked up this woman is
tldr; crazy woman wants to eat her son to become a god(only reason she wanted a kid in the first place) but only after traumatizing her husband, abusing her son so he's good and broken for her to corrupt, turning her coworkers into monsters, and eating thousands of innocent dead people's souls
