Biography
Clea
He then continued her training where he wanted her to summon all seven of the mystical Rings of Raggadorr. Strange then conducted a mystical attack on her to test her ability to maintain her concentration when under onslaught. She performed admirably until Stephen used the Crimson Band of Cyttorak on her with her failing her construction. Upset, she felt that she had failed the test but Doctor Strange revealed that she had in fact passed it. He revealed that she had surpassed his expectations and even recovered quickly from the mystical backlash. Stephen then said that she was ready for the second stage of her training in the mystical arts and provided Clea her own book of spells. It was then that Doctor Strange's mind was drawn to a mystical disturbance in the remote town of Norcross with him and Clea going to investigate. Whilst on the plane, he dispatched his astral self to investigate the university where he found a mystical force preventing him from looking into one of the rooms. Upon landing in the region, Clea and him went to the university to meet with its Dean. (Doctor Strange v2 #47)
During her exile, Brunnhilde offered her shelter in Valhalla as a place of a refuge and a site where she could plan her next action. It was then that Dormammu hired a band of Murder Trolls to kill her with them pursuing her into Valhalla. Valkyrie managed to kill a few of them with Clea charming the others with magic and using mind control to send them back to their masters with the goal of attempting to assassinate Dormammu when he let his guard down. Brunnhilde then asked Clea a favour to help in the resurrection of Anaballe Riggs who was a mortal that Valkyrie had killed accidentally and was now in Valhalla. At first, Clea refused but relented where she helped bond Annabelle's spirit to Valkyrie thus leading to the two sharing a body for a time. Upon returning to Earth, Clea was then recruited to join the newest incarnation of the Defenders. (Fearless Defenders v1 #7)

- On CBR, writer Brian Michael Bendis in an interview talked about candidates for the next Sorcerer Supreme where he commented on Clea, "Clea is the mistress of the Dark Dimension and she's Strange's ex-girlfriend/wife. She was trained by Strange, right there in his home. She was his prized pupil. She was to Strange what he was to the Ancient One [Strange's instructor in the mystic arts]. But as Mistress of the Dark Dimension she hasn't been on this plane of existence a lot lately. And who's going to take her serious in those pants?"
