—Evanora Harkness[source]My coven risked everything to kill her. And you fools have willingly joined her.
Evanora Harkness was the leader of the Salemites and the mother of Agatha Harkness.[1][2]
History
In 1693, Harkness led her daughter, Agatha's trial in Salem, Massachusetts. Agatha was tied to a wooden post with magic. Harkness inquired if she was a witch, which Agatha affirmed. Harkness replied by saying she had betrayed her coven and stole knowledge above her place and that she practiced the darkest of magic, which Agatha denied. The witches tried to kill Agatha with energy beams as she pleaded with Harkness. Agatha continued to cry until her powers took over and she reversed the effect of the beams onto the witches and killed them. Agatha broke free of the post and killed Harkness before taking the brooch off her corpse and flew away.[1]
As part of the third trial of the Witches' Road, Agatha Harkness' Coven summoned Evanora with a Ouija. In her ghostly form, Evanora possessed Agatha and tried to convince her coven into leaving her for punishment. However, Alice Wu-Gulliver saved Agatha from her mother, but Agatha drained Alice of her powers and life force in the process.[2]Attributes
