Biography
Marie L'Angell was an elderly woman from rural Louisiana and the head of a plantation house known as Angelville. She was an occultist and businesswoman who used her knowledge of the arcane in order to make a profit. Customers from all around would come to Angelville for a variety of needs, either to acquire a magic spell to cure their alcoholism, or to increase their libido. For those who could not pay for their services in full at the time of treatment, Marie L'Angell would create a blood compact, wherein they were obligated to satisfy all debts, monetary or otherwise, to her satisfaction.
