'''Topaz''' is a female comic character who features in [[Marvel Comics]]. ==Biography== Topaz Topaz served as Taboo's familiar in the practice of sorcery. Taboo had his helicopter pilot, Jonathon, fly Topaz around and follow Jack Russell. When he transformed into wolf form, she used her powers to render him unconscious. Taboo's men brought the Werewolf back to his mosque, and when he revived Topaz led the Werewolf to Taboo, keeping him calm so that Taboo could better deal with him. Taboo had her read Russell's mind to learn the location of the Darkhold, but found that it had been seemingly destroyed by the mad monk Aelfric. Finding Russell now useless to him, Taboo ordered Topaz to kill the Werewolf. Topaz refused and he struck her down, vowing to force her to do it. Instead, she used her powers to transfer Phillip Russells mind into Taboo's son, Algon, reviving him from his coma of twenty years. (Werewolf by Night v1 #13) The misshapen Algon attacked the Werewolf, and Taboo again struck Topaz for refusing to obey him before. When the Werewolf returned to Russell at sunrise, Russell took Topaz hostage, trying to use her to force Taboo to call off Algon. Topaz again refused Taboo's order to slay Russell, and Taboo then threw her out of his home. Topaz accompanied Russell back to his Los Angeles home, but Russell went back to Topaz's mosque to try to recover his stepfather's soul. Taboo summoned Topaz's soul and used it to further empower Algon, but Taboo and Algon were both slain in the subsequent struggle with the Werewolf. Topaz's soul returned to her after Taboo's death. Topaz and Jack Russell flew to Transylvania to visit the village where his father died. (Werewolf by Night v1 #14) Topaz and Jack began a romance during their trip. Later when he became the Werewolf she kept him from rampaging out of control. The two were assaulted by Dracula, but the vampire lord found himself unable to gaze into Topaz's eyes. Dracula attacked the Werewolf, but Topaz calmed him. To learn his father's past, Jack and Topaz invaded Castle Dracula, leading to another confrontation with Dracula. When Topaz tried to calm him again, he swatted her unconscious. (Tomb of Dracula v1 #18) Topaz recovered and used her powers to drive off Dracula, enabling them to flee. Topaz opened Jack's father's locked diary and they learned of the origin of his familial curse. Dracula continued to plague the pair, but he was eventually driven off by Rachel van Helsing and Frank Drake. (Werewolf by Night v1 #15) When Russell became the Werewolf in Paris, security guards seeking to protect her prevented her from keeping him under control. She pursued him, but was captured by the monstrous Half-Mad, though the Werewolf later rescued her and defeated Half-Mad. (Werewolf by Night v1 #16) Topaz forced the Werewolf to turn back into Russell, enabling them to escape the police, and the two returned to Los Angeles. She noticed that her powers were progressively weakening, and she found herself unable to affect him as he battled the Committee's robot Behemoth. She decided to return to India to try to restore her power. (Werewolf by Night v1 #17) Jack and Topaz returned from Transylvania, staying in Buck Cowan's Malibu Beach house. Her powers proved insufficient to control the Werewolf, who followed the summons of Glitternight. He arrived to watch Glitternight transform Topaz's soul fragment into the monstrous Nightmare creature, which then attacked him. The Werewolf narrowly escaped and returned to Topaz and Buck, but all three were captured by Glitternight. The Nightmare creature died from its battle with the Werewolf and so Glitternight restored Topaz's soul fragment to his egg, reforming it as the Sin creature. The Werewolf destroyed that creature, too, and it reverted to the form of her soul and dissipated. As he fled, Glitternight told them that he planned to kill Taboo, leaving them both bewildered. (Werewolf by Night v1 #27) Glitternight sent more creatures to assault Topaz, Buck, and Jack and Lissa Russell. After he again mentioned Taboo, the group went out to Blackgar Castle, where they found Taboo, who revealed himself to be just a soul fragment restored to a semblance of life by Glitternight. When Glitternight arrived and attacked them, Lissa Russell began to have her first transformation. Topaz and Taboo used their powers to try to keep her human, while Glitternight bathed in his own dark energy. The combination transformed her into a more monstrous were-demon. (Werewolf by Night v1 #28) Topaz combined her powers with Taboo's and, with the aid of Cowan, they subdued Glitternight, though Taboo was left near death. (Werewolf by Night v1 #29) Glitternight broke free and took control of the were-demon, but Taboo sacrificed his remaining life force, enabling Topaz to use it to restore Lissa Russell to normal and eliminate her curse. Glitternight was seemingly destroyed by the Werewolf.
