Character History
Origins
Hypatia, daughter of Theon and last librarian of Alexandria; upon hearing of the order to destroy all pagan temples in Alexandria, utilizing knowledge aquired from the Library, managed to transport the Mouseion's scrolls to an alternate plane. She always had the intention of bringing them back once a new, safe location was found. Unfortunately, she was murdered before such a place was available.
Her daughter, Iokaste, knew the scrolls were safely in another dimension, but not how to retrieve them. She called on Cleio, muse of history; and Hecate, goddess of witchcraft and crossroads, for aid. Their aid arrived in the form of a Lampade, a nymph serving Hecate. The Lampade was made mortal with the knowledge that each generation would be bound in service and friendship with the eldest of Iokaste's line. It's powers over darkness remained, however; and with each generation bound at birth the darkness of Hekate was shared between the infants.
Recent History
Ms. Hypatia is the eldest daughter of the line of Iokaste. Along with her companion, Cleio Ananke, she continues to search for the lost scrolls. They have relocated to Paragon City, intending to explore dimensions with the aid of Portal Corps, in order to speed up the search.
In the meantime, she also runs a new Mouseion. The new Mouseion at Alexandria is still a place of learning, but is also a safe haven for those with newly discovered extra-human abilities.
Personality
Powers
All of Ms. Hypatia's powers are born of her magical binding with Cleio Ananke.
