Tyra was a black-hearted woman who is engaged to a wealthy man simply for his money. When confronted by his parents, Tyra poisons their wine and drives their bodies off a cliff. However, as they are dying, they are able to tell their son what his fiancée has done. The son struggles with Tyra, who ends up falling on her own knife. He kisses her lifeless body and immediately dies. Her spirit is then summoned by Satan, who dubs her "Madam Satan" and makes her his partner. On his orders, Madam Satan returns to Earth, now as Iola, to wreak havoc on mankind through her fatal kiss.

Iola was originally a witch who was also Edward Spellman's girlfriend until he broke up with her for Diana Sawyer. Heartbroken that he chose a mortal over her, Iola committed suicide by throwing herself into a lion pen, where the lions devoured her alive. Afterward, she found herself in the pits of Gehenna, a place in the circle of Hell reserved for suicides. She remained there faceless until she was accidentally released by Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge from Riverdale. Upon returning to Earth, Madam Satan sets about gaining a new face before going to visit her former flame, who has since been trapped in a tree. Instead of freeing Edward, she decides to set the tree on fire, killing him. She then seeks out his wife at a mental asylum and vengefully clears Diana's mind of its insanity, knowing that she still will not be able to leave. After hearing that Edward and Diana have a daughter, Sabrina, Madam Satan makes her way to Greendale and settles under the alias Evangeline Porter, a teacher at Baxter High School, so that she can get close to Sabrina and continue her revenge against the Spellman family.
