Evil-Lyn

With her intelligence, fearlessness, and her incredible magic skills, Skeletor clearly could not hope for a more capable ally than Evil-Lyn, who is often left in charge when he is away from Snake Mountain.

Voice actress Linda Gary imbued Evil-Lyn with the qualities of perniciousness and refinement simultaneously, and indeed, whatever the character did, she did it with style, unlike the vast majority of the other villains.

Although occasionally using such artifacts as the legendary Shaping Staff and the Spellstone to supplement her powers, she was by no means reliant on external objects to perform her spells and enchantments.

Additionally, Evil-Lyn renders her services to aid other super villains, such as Gorgon in The Defection, and Dark-Dream in Eternal Darkness, hence, affirming, time and again, that she is by no means devoted to Skeletor.

This is brought to the forefront in the episode The Witch and the Warrior, perhaps the most in-depth character study of Evil-Lyn in the series, in which she is forced into making an uneasy alliance with Teela when the two of them are stranded in the desert together.

At the end of the episode, Evil-Lyn evinces shades of goodness as she thanks Mallek the Wizard of Stone Mountain for saving her life and healing her injuries.

While sharing the desire for power between them, Evil-Lyn's calm and seductive approach is shown to soothe Skeletor's wrath and mania in his moments of hysteria.

She is revealed to be the daughter of a mysterious sorcerer known only as the Faceless One, who lives in isolation amongst the ruins of Zalesia and is the guardian of a precious object called the Ram Stone.

The episode "Lessons" indicates that she still feels a familial bond with her father when she returns the Ram Stone to him after it was used by Skeletor in an attempt to breach Castle Grayskull.

Evil-Lyn is with Skeletor when the evil group uses time travel to get the Skull of Power and Sir Laser-Lot, thereby allowing him to reshape Eternia and erasing Adam's memories as He-Man.

[8][9] In Masters of the Universe: Revelation, Evil-Lyn supplants Skeletor as leader of his armies following his apparent death, bringing peace to Eternia.

Evil-Lyn's backstory is also explored: born to poverty and almost cannibalised by her parents as a youth before being recruited by Skeletor as an adult to lead his armies, learning magic and falling in love with him.

After facing off against Teela after she takes her place as Sorceress, Lyn is convinced to relinquish her power, before preventing a newly resurrected Orko from being called back to his afterlife.
