Fictional Character Biography
Leader of the shadowy organization known as the Dark Sisterhood, the Dark Mother ruled with an iron hand, and was willing to do anything to further her aims, no matter how depraved.
The Dark Sisterhood began long ago when women born with unusual powers began banding together for protection. Called witches, they adopted the name of the Dark Sisterhood originally in defiance of their persecutors. They sought power to save themselves from death and torture, but over time their goals became twisted. They sought not just to be equal, but to rule; to replace a corrupt system with their own. Today, the Sisterhood use their mutant psychic abilities to manipulate crucial figures in every level of society - from huge crime cartels to renegade police officers, corporate CEO's, and even heads of state. All to further their goal of global domination.
A powerful mutant psychic and telekinetic herself, the Dark Mother, using the alias Finality, approached Cable's mentor Blaquesmith seeking help. Believing the Sisterhood's aims coincided with that of the Askani, Blaquesmith aided them by arming them with psimitars.
When Cable became aware of the group's presence, the Dark Mother ordered him and any who stood with him killed. A band of twenty members of the Dark Sisterhood attacked Cable's Hell's Kitchen safehouse, but he defeated them and destroyed the base.
Cable then set about stopping the Dark Sisterhood from installing one of their own as the next President of the United States. During the final battle with Finality, Cable regressed her mind - and the minds of the remainder of the Dark Sisterhood - to that of an infant.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.... This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.”
—Isaac Asimov (19201992)
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (19131960)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
