Formerly an Egyptian slave named Sakkara, her transformation turned her into a striking and deadly figure. Her skin is a distinct blood-red or crimson color. Long and black, her hair flows down her back. Purgatori has glowing or vibrant white eyes. Two pointed, devil-like horns protrude from her head. She has large, bat-like wings, which are also red and veined. Like other demons and vampires, she possesses claws. She is a shapely and voluptuous character. Purgatori often wears minimal, seductive black clothing, including a bikini top, choker, long gloves, and thigh-high boots with gold accents. She is also frequently depicted with an Egyptian ankh necklace, a relic of her past life.

Background: Sakkara She was born in Egypt (1390 B.C.) and raised in the city of Alexandria. Her parentage is not known, but she has the blood of Fallen Angels flowing in her veins. She was one of half of the population that was enslaved to work on Queen Ostraca's lavish tomb that ensured her passing into the afterlife. Sakkara had to work in the hot sun, brutally whipped by the male guards.

A Celtic man once told her how to escape slavery and gain immortality but before she could think on this, her life was changed. The Queen came to inspect the progress in her chariot and almost ran Sakkara over. She was going to berate the slave girl for not moving fast enough but became entranced with the girl's blue eyes and beauty. Queen Ostraca was known for her love of women, and Sakkara became the greatest woman in her harem, eventually marrying the Queen and living a life of utter bliss and luxury.

But her life once again changed when Queen Ostraca realized the rebellious slave force would soon quit working on her tomb and she would not enter the afterlife. So after making a deal with General Ramses, he became Pharaoh as long as he would keep the population in check, and he would be her only lover. So her harem was slaughtered, and when Sakkara returned to see this, she escaped the guards by jumping out a window in a suicide attempt, but fate intervened, and she landed in a wagon of carpets. So after thinking things over, she decided she did not want to die, she wanted immortality, and vengeance.

Rath She sought out the Celtic man, finding him being beaten to death by the guards who were tired of his rantings. She killed them and he managed to hold onto his life force long enough to tell her his secret. Across the blazing desert and into a cave set into a mountain she trekked, barely surviving. She finally stood before Rath, an ancient Celtic vampire. She wished for immortality to seek revenge and he for a weapon to divert man from his path to becoming a civilized people. She, filled with rage, was that weapon, and biting her, he drained her of her own blood, giving her some of his own, and as their blood mingled she became an immortal vampire.

His blood and her blood (of the Fallen Angels) mixed to form a creature unique throughout time and space. A beautiful creature with blood red skin, glowing white eyes, horns and wings. She returned to Alexandria on the wedding night of the Queen and attacked the guests, transforming the samurai, Kabala and Jade into vampires. She then proceeded to start riots in Alexandria by instigating rebellion. As for Ostraca and Ramses, she bit them and buried them alive in the Queen's sarcophagus. They were rescued five days later, but they had already turned vampiric and without blood had become wizened and insane, and so they remained forever.

Purgatori Rath left to his own task and Sakkara learned that the blood of gods, especially in torment holds extreme power. Lucifer then became entranced by her and came to her bringing her to Hell where she was to be his wife. But she had other plans and in the bedchamber she bit him. He was infuriated with her but impressed at her spirit so he cast in her in the Nexus Of All Things. She was left in exile in the city of Necropolis and he gave her a new name...Purgatori.

She remained there for millennia feasting on the inhabitants, transforming Necropolis into her own image. She could not pass through the Nexus but she saw Marion do so and one day, with her chimera, she trapped Marion studying her and the Nexus for 400 years, looking for a way to return to Hell. She was forced to take action when (at the instigation of Lady Death) the Fallen Angels fought in a bid to rule Hell, and so they went for Necropolis first. She used Marion's soul to pass through the Nexus and she found that she had returned to Hell. Now her one desire was the blood of Hell's ruler, Lady Death and the soul inside her, that of Lucifer.

Lady Death She camped by the River Styx with her jackals and located the Cremator, entranced him and turned him against Lady Death. She had him forge a magical sword that would allow her to reclaim Lucifer's soul. She cast a spell that severed the psychic link between Evil Ernie and Lady Death and dealt harshly with Mary Young who had arrived in Hell to kill Lady Death.

Purgatori then began tormenting Lady Death, twisting her memories, plaguing her with illusions, all to make her blood richer and sweeter. She then had Cremator attack Lady Death, attacking her soon after and in a long battle her jackals lost to the Nameless Wolves but she effortlessly defeated Lady Death (who was wearing Purgatori's wedding dress). But when Purgatori impaled Lady Death with the Cremator's sword her magic backfired and allowed Lady Death to escape. Purgatori was plunged into Styx, forcing her to tell the truth and it was then revealed that Lucifer's soul had never been inside Lady Death.

Lucifer appeared before them to confirm this, as he had been playing Hope for a fool as a game. But annoyed at having his hand shown his took Purgatori to Dis and tortured her and turned Lady Death into a creature of evil, Lady Demon.

The next day, Purgatori and Lady Demon were pitted against each other in Hell's Arena. Purgatori was still weak from the torture and lost the match, refusing to reveal the whereabouts of Marion's soul. She was drained of her powers and cast through the Nexus, sending her to the place she loathed more extremely than any other...Earth. Her power gone; the separation spell began to erode.
