Magda

Magda was born in the years before the Fir Bolg’s final invasion of Ireland, inducted at a young age into the druidic priesthood that had recently gained a grip in the Isles. She demonstrated strong beliefs and precocious abilities and attracted the attention of the ancient Cainite who had accompanied the Celtic people from their origins in Central Europe to the Atlantic shores. During the invasion, the Fir Bolg brutalized Magda’s body and left her for dead, barely clinging to life until nightfall. Her sire, whose name she never knew but who was ancient even then, chose to Embrace the young girl rather than see her talents lost to death. Magda descended upon the interlopers with a fury that bordered on the insane, casting them back into the sea whence they came. Over the centuries and millennia that followed, the Witch of Connaught has sought to take enough blood to make up for what she sees as the insidious murder of her people’s ways, fighting against the incursion of Christianity and then attempts to dominate the Irish Celtic culture by the Norse and later the Normans. She hunts Connaught, her Beast always close to the surface, looking for a way to enact a final retribution upon every living thing in Ireland.
