The Crow Goddess lives in a Horst on the San Bernardino and can control crows. She once seduced John Dee into stealing the Codex from Flamel and took it to his future masters. She has overcome her two sisters Badb and Macha by magic, so that they continue to live in her body, but have no control over it.

She first tries to stop Nicholas Flamel and the twins' escape and is then supposed to kill Perenelle on Alcatraz. But she is weakened so much that her sisters bring the body back under control. Only when Badb / Macha are accidentally fatally wounded by Billy the Kid does she reappear and reconcile with her sisters and Perenelle before she dies.

She is Bastet's niece.

Scathach part 1 Scáthach is a legendary figure from Celtic mythology and was a warrior princess and teacher of martial arts in the land of shadows, an Otherworld kingdom. Her most famous student was Cuchulain , the main hero of Ulster .

She and her sister Aoife were the first children of the elders born after the fall of Danu Talis, and therefore belong to the Next Generation. Her parents were bitter about this and always preferred the son who was born on Danu Talis. She saved Joan of Arc from the stake and made her immortal with her own blood. She freed Nicholas Flamel from Lubyanka prison. Together with him she fought against the demon Fomor. When she was trapped in the dungeon at An Chaor-Thanach, the Alchemyst saved her. Scathach was in love with Cuchulain, who thinks she is a traitor after she left the man believed dead on the battlefield and wants to kill her - then she kills him.

She is recruited by Nicholas Flamel to protect the twins. In Paris she is separated from them in the fight against Dagon; when using the line of force from Point Zéro she gets into a shadowy realm of Marethyu. He leads them, Palamedes, William Shakespeare, the Count of Saint-Germain and Joan of Arc through the gates of time to Danu Talis so that the island can go under. There she meets her future father and saves Aten. After her return to the present, she frees her sister from the shadowy realm of Coatlicue and is then the maid of honor for Aoife and Niten.

The sister of the Morrigan and the Macha originally shared the body with their sisters, so that each of the three goddesses could dispose of the body for a certain time. After the Morrigan had managed to keep her sisters imprisoned in their bodies, they were only released again when Perenelle Flamel weakens the crow goddess.

She turns out to be Perenelle's helper and dies with her sisters when she throws herself protectively in front of Perenelle after Billy the Kid accidentally threw a power spear.

She turns out to be Perenelle's helper and dies with her sisters when she throws herself protectively in front of Perenelle after Billy the Kid accidentally threw a power spear.

Aoife Volume 4 Aoife is a legendary figure in Irish mythology , which can probably be traced back to a Celtic deity. In one tradition she is a daughter of Manannan , sister of the Aobh and wife of Lir . Another story calls her a warrior queen in Alba (Scotland), with whom Cú Chulainn has to compete in a duel.

She is Scathach's twin sister; the two were the first children of the elders born after the fall of Danu Talis, and therefore belong to the next generation. Her parents were bitter about this and always preferred the son who was born on Danu Talis. Once she fought with Scathach for Cuchulain, whereupon the sisters separated. Aoife's companion is Niten.

When she senses that her sister is disappearing from this world, she goes to see the twins. In a fight with the Archoness Coatlicue, she disappears into a distant shadow realm. Scathach finally frees her and is Aoife's maid of honor at Niten's wedding.
