History

Atlantis

Lamia was a high priestess of Varnae, first Lord of the Vampires, and a vampire herself, in Pre-Cataclysm Atlantis. Allegedly, she slaughtered thousands of people in his name.

After the Great Cataclysm, she kept the faith of Varnae, prophesying he would return and that she would be among the exalted.

Modern era

Because Lamia was one of the first vampires on Earth and she had successfully survived to the modern era, she was considered a member of the group of extremely long-lived vampires known as the Ancient, along with Nosferatu, Verdelet, Saracen, Maracen, and Boy.

During the global Great Depression of the 1930s, Lamia was living in a house on Blaylock Street in London. When the Bloodshadows explored her lair, she killed all the members save for Blade whom she recognized as a dhampir and threw out a window, and Glory who she turned into a vampire. Blade later returned and slew Lamia.

It was later presumed by Blade that both Lamia and Glory had been destroyed by the Montesi Formula along with all other Vampires.

Notes

• Bloodshadows' profile in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Marvel Knights 2005 #1 stated that Blade slew Lamia, which was not shown in the original story in Blade: The Vampire-Hunter #6.
