History

Origins[]

Yith was the daughter of Melusine, one of the daughters of Pressyne, cursed by her mother to become a "serpent from the waist down" every Saturday. Marrying Raimond de Lusignan in Poitou, France, she sired ten sons (including Geoffrey and Urian), all somewhat deformed. Eventually, Raimond followed Melusine and discovered her curse, and lost her forever. While vanishing, Melusine swore that when she appeared over the castle Lusignan, it would get a new lord that very year. Yith was born to Melusine in Poitou,[5] though her father's identity remains unrevealed.[4]

From her mother, Yith was the descendent of the Elder God Set. According to a prophecy, the "seventh child of Set" (meaning a seventh generation descendant) would usher in a a new golden age for the Serpent Men. By Ian McNee's calculations, the mother of that new dark prince could be either Yith, or the Lemurian Nagala.[1] It is unrevealed if Yith is aware of the prophecy.[5]

Modern Age[]

Yith would become a mercenary[2] and an assassin.[1]

Yith was later seen attending Eddie Brocks' auction of the Venom symbiote.[7]

In the aftermath of the War of the Serpent, Yith was among the many recruits joining the Department of Occult Armaments.[8]
