|| Qetsiyah McCullough | 2000+ | Witch | Ancestor of the McCullough Clan | Taken ||
Two-thousand years ago lived a witch among a nomadic tribe in Eastern lands. Growing up she was no stranger to the violence and harsh realities of the chaotic world around her, being sold off by her father into a marriage and rival house that she did not want. Nor was she a stranger to the magic that held the very fabric of the world.
Growing into a woman, she was both valued and manipulated for her magical gifts and her husband eventually dying in battle though leaving her with a child, Dagon. That was until she naively fell in love with another, a warlock so powerful that he could grant himself immortality, a warlock that had taught her the ways of the magical craft himself. However, as the legend states Qetsiyah was not the love Silas sought to share his immortality with as he merely and selfishly used her to seek his own means, and Qutsiyah hardened by this, reacting with rage, in the end vowing to never allow another to use her or to raise Silas ever again as he would only bring pain, death, and suffering to all in his path including her. Over the years she hardened further, seeking power and harnessing magic for her own means.
“There is no stronger power then what flows through my veins, other then Silas, and I assure you.. you would rather deal with I then the wrath he would unleash.”
As years past she was able to sustain herself using the darker sides of magic. However almost a thousand years after these events took place and with the creation of the Original Vampires and rise of The Five, Qetsiyah became curious and traveled to Eastern continent. It was during this time she met Kol, an Original Vampire whom she eventually formed a strange somewhat dysfunctional fondness of. Eventually, Qutsiyah had, against her better judgement developed feelings for the Original and confided the truth of the legend of Silas and the dangers Silas’ rising could present to him and his family as they had encountered a cult whom worshiped Silas. And for a time, all was moderately well. But as everyone knows all good things must come to an end; though powerful she was was not immune to everything and when this cult discovered whom she was, she met her end by a combination of magic and blade, a blade in which cut through her back and pierced her heart.
However her body endured, being preserved by a Korean witch named Hyun-Jung while her spirit crossed over to The Other Side. It would not be for centuries, that the bloodknot spell would be cast with descendants of Hyun-Jung which would allow her spirit to channel a whole line of witches and reenter her body in the 21st century. With the danger of Silas being awakened with the vampire cure, she has been awakened and just as before has vowed not to allow Silas to rise again, being willing to do anything to stop it. Her one and only true ally in this, Kol Mikaelson, and while she does place a level of trust love in him she is still cautious.
Allies: Kol Mikaelson, possibly Bonnie McCullough.
