Calliope was orphaned at a very early age. After surviving for 20 long years in Providence’s underbelly, she was kidnapped by ghoulish cultists of the Circle of the Crone to be ritually sacrificed by Brena herself. However, before she could be killed, Calliope managed to temporarily free herself from the blood altar, killing one surprised ghoul and severely injuring another. This impressed Brenna, and she decided to take the pretty young girl in as her ward, embracing her on the spot and sealing her fate forever.
