Biography
Devon Buckley was a witch who lived in the upper-class private community known as The Gates. She owned the Devon Day Spa on Main Street and was formerly married to the town's developer Frank Buckley. Devon was also the former student of another witch named Peg Mueller. Whereas Peg maintained a healthy appreciation for her talents however, Devon was less scrupulous, and was more than willing to use her knowledge of the occult for personal gain.

Through a woman named Jessica Cooper, Devon learned that one of her neighbors, Claire Radcliff had been involved in the disappearance of a contractor named Mark Woodbury. Jessica claimed to have seen Claire hide Mark's truck inside her garage after he had been reported missing. Devon didn't like Claire and sought to use this knowledge to gain leverage over her. She cast a spell to make Jessica forget what she had seen, but told Claire that the effect was only temporary and that Jessica might regain her memory at any moment. Claire recognized the veiled threat and responded in kind, reminding Devon that she could destroy her whenever she chose.
