Biography
Carrie Andrews was a female human born in the modern age where it was said that she grew up in Long Island. It was said that her mother died when she was only 2 years old. From a young age, she was noted to had practiced magic and performed her first spell when she was 8 years old. (Spawn v1 #133)
She later started a covenant with her friends Lily and Thea. Lily left due to discovering boys, but Thea's life spiraled out of control with her understanding of magic until she ultimately took her own life leaving Nyx alone once more. (Spawn v1 #133)
As a grown-up still practicing magic, Nyx sensed a soul who had been separated from his shadow. She tracked Albert Simmons to the Bowery Alleyways. He had his powers taken from him and was wandering the streets in fear and confusion. (Spawn v1 #122) Nyx then came to him and helped him regain his powers with her Silver-White Moon Blade and Shadow Thread. However, she kept a shred of the threat for herself so that she may maintain control over him without him knowing. (Spawn v1 #124) Over time, Nyx explained the rules of Greenworld to Al. She informed him it would give back three-fold what you give and convinced Spawn to begin giving back to the world. (Spawn v1 #125) Later, Nyx was up late one night. Spawn had been sensing an evil presence as well. Nyx sneaked out of bed to create a location spell circle. As she entered her dream state, Mammon came to her in the dream. He reminded her of her past and her two witch friends as a child. He informed her that Thea's soul now belonged to him and when she was ready, she could come to him for an exchange. (Spawn v1 #133) The next day, Nyx asked Al what hell was truly like. Since he couldn't explain it with words, he showed her with his powers. After writhing in pain and contorting her body, she was released and realized the torture of hell and what people in hell go through. Later that night, she went to the park to barter with Mammon to release her friend's soul from hell. (Spawn v1 #134) Later, Nyx tracks down Lillian Redgrave to her new job at a rescue mission in New Jersey. They talked about the loss of Thea. Nyx asked for Lily's help in freeing Thea and Lily refused. Lily told her that she had become a much different person and refused to look back on that part of her life. She told Nyx that if Thea got herself into the mess, she deserved to be stuck in hell and ushered Nyx out of her office. (Spawn v1 #135) Nyx pondered Mammon's offer. She knew she can only save one of her friends, either Thea who's soul is trapped in hell, or Spawn's soul. She attempted to feel Spawn's presence but could not locate him. (Spawn v1 #136)

Powers and abilities
Nyx is a Wiccan, depicted by the pentagram she always wears around her neck. She uses a vast magic spells repertory. Although her magic ability is powerful, her spells and the way she uses them are mainly defensive. She is capable of healing, mind controlling, removing illusions and projecting magical force fields. At attacking, she only wields a knife.
After stealing Spawn's energy, she gained access to a symbiote suit similar to a Hellspawn, with increased reflexes, strength and magical ability; it also gave her the signature chains of a Hellspawn. However, this does not make her a true Hellspawn due to the absence of a necroplasmic body.
Nyx also has a sidekick raven named Nightbird. Although it doesn't provide any offensive support, it still helps in finding places and people. Spawn has the ability to see the world through other 'dark natured' animals like rats, bugs, bats and crows.
