Creation: May 2005

Background:
Since childhood, Medea was gifted with Dwayna's blessing and was capable of using healing magic. She was always cheerful and helpful to the other people of her small village, and grew up to be a monk. One night, a group of strange cultists attacked her village. The sight of the first villagers attacked and killed caused her to go mad and give up to her anger. Somehow, she lost control over her feelings, and started using death magic spells summoning horrors from the bodies of the dead. The cultist were stopped, and ran away as she lost her senses and the horrors died again. As she woke up, she discovered from the surviving villagers that she saved them, but at the cost of the flesh and bodies of their dead friends. As she discovered her dark side, all of the villagers were frightened by her presence, even her own parents. They exiled her from the village, seen as dangerous as the cultist that stormed the village. She was at the Temple of the Ages, crying in front of the statue of Grenth, blaming him for her curse, when she met Jenna and Preia. When she heard of their intention to stop the necromancer Verata and his cultists, Medea explained them her situation, and offerd her help. They finally tracked down the cult in kessex peak, and after an hard battle they managed to get rid of Verata and his foolish cultists. During the battle Medea lost control again, and for that reason Jenna offered her knowledge in necromancy to the young monk, to help her control her power. And so Medea followed the necromancer in her travels, as an apprentice. The two reached the Maguuma jungle and met with two expert rangers, Eclea and her father Arald The Grey. Jenna was looking for the druids that lived there, to se if their knowledge was able to resurrect her parents, but the druids weren't able to do anything. Jenna's travels continued to the farthest reaches of the Crystal Desert without success.

They were in the shiverpeaks, headed for Ascalon, when the titan crisis began. There they met with Preia, and moved forward to Ascalon. Helping the ascalonians, they managed to defeat the titans after an epic battle in Dragon's Gullet. For their help, King Adelbern allowed them to found the Order of the Black Light Guild, in a castle on the Island Of the Dead.

Medea was with Jenna in Cantha when the plague brought by Shiro Tagachi started. The two escaped from Kaineng City and managed to reach the kurzik borders. They were in Tanglewood Copse when they met the Kima and her half sister Iridia. As they mentioned their concern about the plague, Jenna offered her help, as Grenth told her to stop Shiro at all costs. She was with the people that fought in the imperial palace to allow Master Togo and Brother Mhenlo to reach Shiro. After those events, Kima learned about Medea's curse and found a partial solution to it: being an expert in both necromancy and the ways of the monks, Kima noticed that negative energies in Medea were too much for her body. That excess could be kept at bay if Medea was "keeping it busy" constantly. Kima teached her how to create a Flesh Golem and from that day on, Medea can never be seen without a golem around her.

As her problem found a solution, Medea gained more freedom for herself, and abandoned Jenna's side. As her friend continued her quest in the lands of Elona, the young monk remained at the newfound guildhall, solving administrative tasks in Jenna's absence.

Years later Medea was in Shing Jea monastery, studying and meditating with Kima to improve her control over her negative energies, and was enjoying the celebration of the Dragon Festival when the island of shing jea was overrun by demons. As they fought, the two discovered the origin of the creatures: demonic portals from the mists were opened in Haiju Lagoon and the demons were using it to enter Tyria, in a way that reminded Medea of the titan crisis. They found Iridia in Zen Daijun, and with her help and that of the canthan army, they successfully closed the rifts.

It was only after the return of Jenna from Elona that she discovered that the demons were in service of Abaddon, invading reality to bring souls to their twisted master.
