- History:
- Boudica claims to be the historical Iceni queen, summoned from the Cities of the Dead (Necropoleis) by the pagan Rook Coven. She further claims that she was given gifts from the Gods, including the magical bird Bhadh, the Sword of Cerridwen, also known as the Moon Sword, and the Mail of the Cailleach.
-
Because of her heroic actions and her relationship to the pagan organization called the Rook Coven, witchcraft and paganism have experience something of a revival. This has caused a good deal of consternation amongst some American religious leaders, who claimed that she is Satanic. Her response was “If I am evil, why would I fight to diminish evil’s forces?” This took some of the wind from her critics sails.
-
She was allegedly killed during World War III. But, the story goes, with the assistance of Revenant, Brigid O’Neill, Boudica’s friend, traveled to the Necropoleis to retrieve her. Brigid traded her life for Boudica’s release, which was granted. Boudica was allegedly reincarnated, which explains her different appearance.

- Known Powers:
- Boudica has strength and reflexes greater than those possessed by even the greatest Olympic athletes. She is also a brilliant tactician.
- Known Equipment:
- Bhadh seems to be a type of corvus that purportedly transforms into a great bronze colored avian creature that transports Boudica great distances. The Moon Sword has a translucent blue blade that “cuts through a man’s soul” but leaves no external wounds. Her breastplate seems to protect her from damage that would harm most people. Even though the Mail of the Cailleach only covers her upper torso, her entire body appears to be protected.
