Origin: This sorceress intensely studied the mystical arts for years before coming across a dusty tome with a large eye on the cover. This tome was a study of the many magical creatures of the past which possessed ocular abilities, and magical rituals which were meant to replicate them. Fanatically she followed the mystical instructions and tattooed a set of eyes and magical symbols into her hands, which when brought together are known as “The Gaze of Eternity” Armed with the powerful mystical gaze she then went after a magical artifact, “The Arcane Orb of Vishnanti”,which was needed for the second ritual. After a battle with some dedicated druids in Ireland she recovered the ancient orb and performed the ritual necessary for implanting the orb in her forehead making it into a third eye which granted her the powerful Pain Stare and the dreaded Stone Stare. She has since begun to hone her powers and locate other sources of magical power.

Real Name: Melinda Gordon Base of Operations: Secret Sanctum, entrance unknown to all but her and invisible to all but magic. Known Affiliates: None known to general public Organizations: The institute for arcane exploration (Under the false identity Aesthair Medelle)

Description: Tall and slender fiery red-head. Pale skinned from years indoors studying. Wears a purple cloak decorated with varying types of eyes over a black corset and black leather pants. Has an ornate arcane eye tattooed in the palms of each of her hands. When called upon a third diamond eye opens in her forehead which changes color depending on what power is called upon.

Tactics: Opens up a fight with her Pain Stare fixing on an opponent, if it isn't affecting them she will weaken her target with a few blasts from the Gaze of Eternity. If she is feeling threatened she will switch to her Stone Stare to lower the numbers of her attackers. Very rarely gets into melee combat.
