Sakkara's job was to grind corn all day under the desert sun, and she was constantly whipped by the brutish male guards.
Amongst the slaves was a foreigner, an old man of Celtic origin who told Sakkara he knew a way to escape slavery and achieve immortality.
Her hand was forced by Lady Death: with the disappearance of Lucifer, the Fallen Angels were moving on Hell in a bid to rule it.
Camping by the River Styx with her new jackal pets, she located Cremator, lost after the battle for Hell, and entranced him, turning him against Lady Death and setting him to forge a magical sword for her to reclaim Lucifer's soul.
Still very weak after being tortured, Purgatori lost the fight, but still refused to submit to Lady Demon and reveal to her where Marion's soul was.
Purgatori arrived in San Francisco on 13 October 1995, and immediately became a victim to the ravenous thirst that is a vampire's own form of slavery.
Her arrival back on Earth had been noticed: Jade and Kabala contacted her psychically, telling her of their intention to kill her, and Rath too began to track her.
Realising she was too weak to fight them, Purgatori stowed away on a freighter and made her way back to Alexandria, hoping to confront her enemies on home turf.
Purgatori drank her blood but lost it almost immediately when Rath chose that very moment to attack, draining her of her newly acquired power and taking her to be interrogated.
In the middle of a battle, she appeared through the blood of Mary Young, with whom she still had a link, and knocked out and kidnapped Chastity, taking her to Los Angeles where she had already recruited The Faithless One — now calling himself The Saviour — to do her work.
While The Saviour was setting up Ernie, Purgatori scanned Chastity's mind to find out about her history, and took her to a lesbian bar for purposes of pleasure.
She got inside his mind and discovered his ability to shape reality, but before she could take action, his Cyber Dead attacked the house and destroyed it, forcing her to flee.
In her battle with Metatron, she began to have doubts about whether she would ever be more than just a common vampire, but after beating him she realised that part of the problem was that she had been wasting her time with lesser creatures like him and should have been aiming higher.
Karmilla followed her, freshly armed with the Spine of Eden, and attacked Rath instead, tricked by Purgatori into thinking he had kidnapped her children.
In the ensuing struggle, Purgatori learned that it was Satrina who had betrayed her and was trapped and almost killed by the Spine of Eden, but escaped by turning herself into blood, a sign of her rapidly growing powers.
Dawn was coming up fast, and she was rescued at the last moment by Pope Stephen, who realised that Purgatori was the stronger vampire and stood the best chance of winning the war.
She left for Cairo, to study the Prophecy hieroglyphs at Isis International, and while she was gone Satrina began an invocation ceremony to summon a demon and steal Purgatori's power, killing her to rise as the goddess herself.
She assaulted Lady Death's fortress in Oblivion, but after a long battle she was stabbed through the heart with the Scythe, degenerating into a pool of blood.
A vampire with cambion ancestry, when Rath sired her she underwent an oddly monstrous transformation: taking on a red succubi-like form, reflecting her fallen heritage.
Purgatori is an all powerful demigoddess of incredible ability and experience, this added to her hybrid nature makes her several time stronger than either hellborn or vampire.
She boasts incredible amounts of physical conditioning, easily able to rend flesh, toss around cars and bend steel.
She is also fast enough to dodge gun fire, catch arrows and is resilient enough to resist even the most extreme of physical or mystical assaults be they by man, monster or even that of godlike entities.
One of her greatest strengths is her biophysical Immortality, possessing a self-healing capacity rivaling that of Evil Ernie backed by his partner Smiley.
Recovering from minor injuries ranging from destroyed bodily anatomy to total conditional discorporiation, having been able to regenerate herself from a pool of her own blood.
The blood goddess is highly versed in various fields of magic, her mastery of occultism is such that she has vast control over the natural and supernatural forces of the cosmos.
It strengthens her natural vampiric attributes using the flowing plasma in herself and others to incredibly violent degrees, utilizing it as a catalyst for a great many physical as well as mystical feats.
The blood is also used to teleport across vast distances for one along with the unique twist in using it to enthrall, strengthen and empower others by enwrapping them in mystic armor with it, instantly creating loyal vassals who will do her bidding.
A couple of abilities stemming from outside her mystic craft include pyrokinesis, nature manipulation, pain inducement, teleportation and portal creation.
Universe the blood queen can sense the presence of other vampires and supernatural beings, the only acception to this rule is Chastity Marks who is invisible to the paranormal detection capabilities of other undead.
The goddess' most dangerous attribute lies in her ability to gain in power by drinking the blood of others, learning from the undead offspring of a former sire she raised; Purgatori found she has the sum total memories and experiences of every individual being she's drained swirling around inside of her.
