Madam Cristina Croÿs

Madam Cristina Croÿs  Cristina was the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter and while some believe this has no effect on the power of an individual, she did have the power to see and talk to spirits. She also had the power over the mind and had the power to cross the gates, although it is unknown as to whether she ever did so. Cristina left her family after finding out how they amassed their fortunes, through careful manipulation and murder of competitors regardless of the cost to those around them. This included such tragedies as the famine of Ireland in 1845 , the sinking of the titanic 1912,  assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdin 1914, the stock market crash of 1929, and finally the First World War. Apparently the family had also seen the war as an opportunity to amass more than money they also gathered power, using the deaths of millions to fuel a spell which to this day is unknown. Cristina had not expected to receive any of the family’s ill begotten wealth until her families fortune fell to her as the sole surviving member of the family after the  1960 Scandinavian Airlines System Flight 871, which killed all remaining members of the Croÿs family bar Cristina and her sister Elizabeth whose whereabouts remain unknown. Cristina used a large portion of her family’s fortune to set up several charities to help those most affected by the evils her family had committed. She married her first husband Roger Mafferson and had her first child who they named Lizzy after her lost sister. Shortly after Lizzy ’s 7th birthday her father died leaving a hole in both their lives. Cristina found Lizzy with her father’s body walking around the garden. Cristina knew then she couldn’t keep her family’s history a secret from her child and would have to teach her how to control and hide her powers. Cristina had one other love in her life Nathan Branden, it was a short but bright love lasting only a few months but resulted in her having two more beautiful children, twin boys. Their sister loved her brothers but always seemed cold towards her mother from they’re arrival. When Cristina found the boys manifesting powers when playing, she began to teach them also. It was many years before Cristina discovered that her daughter was practicing the darker arts and violating all the laws of magic. She had pleaded with her to stop but eventually was forced to watch as the white council descended on her and she was destroyed. Cristina was able to shield her sons from the eye of the council to a degree as they don’t know Lizzy was their kin due to the three children baring different names however they are now on the councils radar and Cristina has gone missing looking for something her boys know not what.
