Biography
Origin
Venus
The sirens lived on the Sirenum scopuli islands and eventually fell into the service of the ocean elemental Phorcys, who used their 'siren song' to lure mortal sailors to watery deaths. (Agents of Atlas v1 #5) For centuries, sailors told tales of ships being lured to destruction by the voice of a siren, or naiad, a soulless ocean being that fed on men as they drowned. One ship, however, had a magician on boar, and he stopped the Siren by transforming her into a complete being, making her soul as beautiful as her physical form. Horrified by the destruction wrought by her actions, she forbade herself from speaking. She eventually found solace at a monastery, where she served the nunnery for over two years. Everyone believed that she was a mute servant girl, until she joined a chorus, and her voice filled the clergy with lust. She was then expelled from the nunnery for the scandal. Again wandering the world, the woman came to believe she was the immortal, beautiful, goddess Venus, imbued with the power of love. Her true nature and its terrible memories were repressed in favor of her new sense of purpose. (Agents of Atlas v1 #5)
