Biography[]
Quentin Fleming and the witches' council presided over a tribunal held at Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies, wherein Fiona Goode was accused of murdering the Supreme of her coven - an act that took place some forty-years prior. However, the testimony of Fiona's faithful mute butler, Spalding, pointed the finger of blame at Myrtle. Quentin and Cecily turned against Myrtle, partially because of their ambition to consolidate power within the council, and had her sentenced to be burned to death. [1][2]
Sentence was carried out, but Myrtle was resurrected through the power of a non-aligned witch named Misty Day. Myrtle took her revenge upon Quentin and Cecily by dismembering them. She took one of Quentin's eyes, and used it to heal the blind witch, Cordelia Goode. [3]
