Belladona is the Queen of Vampires. Around the Burning Times and for some time thereafter, she reigned as the human countess of Ashtan. Her quest for immortality was ongoing; she even went so far as to journey to the Vampire Lord, Zsarachnor, who raped her in turn. Aside from magnifying her already-ill will toward men, it was by this event that she became pregnant with Lord Luxsyth, the self-styled founder of the Occultists guild.


During the Burning Times, she took the beseiged Occultists under her wing and convinced them to abandon their Occultism in favour of Necromancy, using them as pawns in her pursuit of immortality. Though still leery due to the recent Shakira Effect, they eventually hit upon the Soulcage Experiment, but would not let Belladona use them as guinea pigs. Frustrated, she performed the experiment upon herself, which backfired and turned her into an undead vampiress. She swore her allegiance to Twilight and went on a rampage, taking the lives of many Occultists in an orgy of blood, before finally being driven out of Ashtan.


Today, Belladona resides at the foot of the eastern Granite Hills, through a shallow wooded valley, past the Fens, and into her Keep - Belladona's Keep. She keeps within arm's reach Derryk, the Eunuch, as well as her four vampiric handmaidens - Ephesia, Eritrea, Malorea, and Minorea.
