Fortunately, Vandala contacted her soon after and offered an alliance to fight against Pagan who now was the avatar of Abaddon. On the battlefield she was joined by Asteroth , Michael and Lady Death, each with their own army. At first Purgatori and lady Death promised to bury their hated for one another, but Purgatori was unable to keep her word and attacked Lady Death at the end. Asteroth managed to distract Purgatori long enough for Lady Death to defeat Pagan; being outnumbered, Purgatori left.
Some time later Asteroth army neared Purgatori's eastern border and she was delighted by the news; she could once again spill blood on the battlefield. Being in a good mood, she even let the warrior Thoth live after he dared to advise Purgatori how to make war. On the battlefield Purgatori once again saw a magician who had appeared in her visions before and was drawn away from the battle. When she awoke, she was on another Earth and again in her human form and she remembered herself to be only human Sakkara.
She wasn't given long to adjust to the new world and was attacked, with the help of the sorcerer they escaped. They then were chased by vampires, Sakkara somehow knew who they were and knew how to kill them. One of the vampires revealed that they wasn't there to harm her, but to protect her and took her to their master Dracula's mansion.
The vampire and the sorcerer filled Sakkara in on her past, but were soon attacked again. Sakkara was shot, as was the sorcerer; sorcerer then asked Sakkara to feed on him before he dies so that she might live. While Sakkara drank, she felt power, but still couldn't remember who she was. The vampire then led her to safety and away from sun. In a hurry the left the sorcerer's book behind, it was a powerful book and Sakkara wanted it back.
Next night they returned to the mansion, only to find that House Danton had sent his men to retrieve the book and sorcerer's body. Sakkara and her companion escaped again and followed House Danton men to their base.
Sakkara arrives too late and the head of House Danton used the book to empower himself again. During the fight Sakkara managed to feed on an angel who had attacked them and remembered who she is; she again transformed into Purgatori. Her general Thoth also had come to this reality to help her return to her empire, but Purgatori wanted to explore the new realm. Thoth was summoned back to his own realm, and Purgatori was left alone in this new realm.
Now able to turn from human Sakkara to Purgatori at will, she learns new sensations as a human. She even discovered that when in her human form she needs to eat regular food instead of blood, but when she turns into her Purgatori form the regular food she have eaten before makes her weaker. She found some humans who were willing to serve her and to be her food. Purgatori was contacted by Hatem from Egypt, at first he ordered his men to attack her, to draw out her red-skinned form. When Purgatori shifted from her human form at last, the man offered her a chance to taste the power of gods.
At first Purgatori refused, but changed her mind after some thinking. In Cairo she met other five contenders; they were to do battle, to see which three are worthy to wield godly powers. Purgatori met Rakshasa there, and fell in love from the first sight. Each showed what unique power they had, but Purgatori refused, and they then were shown to their rooms.
Purgatori went to Rakshasa's room and they spent the night together. Rakshasa confessed that this was the first time she met a half-human, half something else; Purgatori got offended hearing that she's part human and left. She then met another contestant, a mage. He was mad that a mere vampire was worthy enough.
The two have a major fight and only stop when Hatem came between them. Hatem also learned that Purgatori wanted to cast a counter-spell to make the power work for her, not to be only as a host to Set. Came the day of the competition; Purgatori was pitted against the mage again. Purgatori won by turning the mage's blood inside him against him.
Other contenders joined the hurt magician while Rakshasa chose Purgatori's side. During the ensuing fight, three of contestants died.
This bloodshed worked for the gods, and they came to this world. However, Set chose not to take Purgatori as the host and resurrected the dead magician instead. Isis took over Rakshasa. Isis then asked Purgatori to merge with her too, to be more powerful, and to fight against Set and Tehut. Purgatori agrees, but she was too powerful for Isis and took control over the joined form.
Purgatori learned a location of Kelethar, old city of the gods, a place she had searched from an old grimoire written by vampires. She easily defeated Set and Tehut, and then she separated herself and Rakshasa from Isis; denying her the flesh she needed to exist in this realm. Purgatori and Rakshasa then walked into the sunlight together, as she had discovered that her human can stand the light. Their search for Kelethar was interrupted when a messiah of sorts appeared in Egypt.
Purgatori and Rakshasa went to investigate. While there, Purgatori was attacked by none other by Lucifer himself, he was back from the dead, and he raped Purgatori. He then teleported Purgatori to the Arctic and kidnapped Rakshasa; saying that he has a plan for her. Purgatori was saved from the frozen wasteland by Bedlam, who took her to Lady Death. At first she was furious, but Lady Death stayed her hand and let her live. They now had a similar quest to destroy Lucifer.
When she was sired by the ancient vampire Rath, the underlying vestigial inheritance took hold over her monsterized form giving her the appearance of a demonic undead being. Due to her hybrid nature; being part vampire and part devil in the form of a succubus Purgatori proves to be stronger than both with few of their weaknesses.
On top of her abilities as a recombination entity, Purgatori utilizes a great many other kinds of abilities that others of either race do not. Through these attributes the self proclaimed blood goddess has achieved demi-goddess to full godhood talents and straights over the coarse of millennia, acquiring a host of magical talents and abilities throughout her immortal life span. Outside of her mystical prowess Purgatori is an accomplished master combatant and skilled manipulator, one thing more dangerous than her demonic powers and blood relative craft is her sneakiness.
Her infinite capacity, if not glee, for plotting and treachery, she also has access to other abilities that lie outside of the Blood Magics which are also unique to her in that regard. Perhaps the most dangerous quality of Sakkara is her thirst for blood, particularly she found to her surprise and delight was in the power she gained in draining the blood of the divine.
As she learned from gorge, Purgatori has the sum total essence and experiences of everyone whom she ever drained, in that she could not only assimilate the experiences and personas of all those whose blood she took but is also able to call upon power from all those who rest inside her. Purgatori learned that by drawing blood from gods and chaos lords she could amass godlike power for herself, the combined power of every higher being she'd ever fed upon.
Having assimilated the knowledge of some druids, the power of Dracula himself, the almighty energies of Odin; a chaos lord who was king of magic and the Norse Gods, the very monotheistic deity who created it all in the first place and many more. Along her many travels over the ages Purgatori had acquired a great many items of interest in her quest for omnipotence.
From mystical relics older than human history to high tech human made devices which serve her purposes on her path to conquest. While still technically stronger and tougher than either of the species she stems from Purgatori still falls prey to many faults that come with her undying being. For instance while immune to silver, garlic, holy water and such she can still catch fire if caught under the rays of the sun; but this will not kill her as her blood alchemy vastly augments her regenerative abilities.
Above all else Sakkara's twisted thirst for blood rules much of her actions especially the blood of the divine. Seeing as regular human blood usually lacks the restorative properties typical for many vampires, though this maybe due more to her sensitive pallet than the effectiveness of it.
Likewise blood can also be her Achilles heel as it can be blessed, cursed or intoxicated in a way that makes it caustic to her if ingested.
Naturally she is also vulnerable to various enchanted weapons and armaments used against her or any armaments of equal power within her possession.

Origin Purgatori's beginnings are in the pages of the Lady Death's first outing The Reckoning as mere side-note, the vanished lover of Lucifer, in the very first issue.
Creation As with Lady Death, Purgatori is the creation of Brian Pulido , the head of Chaos Comics and principal writer for the company he founded to develop and explore his characters. Character Evolution Created as a nemesis for Lady Death, Purgatori quickly found her place in the Chaos Universe and has never strayed from those roots.
Rath Rath She sought out the Celtic man, finding him being beaten to death by the guards who were tired of his rantings. Purgatori Rath left to his own task and Sakkara learned that the blood of gods, especially in torment holds extreme power.
Gorge Gorge Purgatori decided to take Satrina back once again, as her lover. Odin, Armageddon and Mitchell Wardlow Wielding Odin's Power Gorge then brought her to the Unknown where countless dead became her willing army, as they would follow anyone as long as they could fight again.
Empire Empress Purgatori was recreated on new world named "Dark Millennium". Old Enemies The cloaked stranger had a plan to ensure their dominance over earth. New Earth Return of Sakkara Some time later Asteroth army neared Purgatori's eastern border and she was delighted by the news; she could once again spill blood on the battlefield.
Augmented Strength: Strong enough to rend flesh from bone as well as smash through buildings, pick up and slam down police cars and cause tremors with her strikes. Augmented Stamina: Is essentially tireless and can fight, run and move without physical strain. Supernaturally Dense Tissue: Purgatori's bodily resilience is several times that of an average person. Being robust enough to resist gunfire, a cave collapse, tanking a gas station explosion and shrug off powerful magical blasts.
Shapeshifting: Can change to and from human form at will or take the semblance of another person. Wing Shield: Her wings are tough enough to block bullets. Razor Wing: Has more than once used them to cut down her enemies like a sharp edge.
Vast Regeneration: One of Purgatori's strongest points is her ability for self-recovery. So long as she has fed upon blood of any kind she will revitalize most indefinitely, even despite her nigh-invulnerability it is possible for Sakkara to be physically wounded even fatally. But her healing capacity rivals that of Evil Ernie while connected with Smiley; easily able to regrow a severed hand, just as capable of rebuilding herself from a puddle of blood.
Immortality: Purgatori is ageless and she will never grow old. Blood Alchemy: The core attribute of her deadliness.
The bloodchild's main ability is the direct manipulation of blood which as she says "Blood is the life, life travels through blood. A rather original tactic Purgatori can employ utilizing her mysticism is the enslavement and empowering of potential vassels who'll serve her bidding without question, cladding them in a crystalized body armor that strengthens them and grants new powers, such as taking on the consistancy of blood allowing them formlessness. But converts them to her will, she can even give this to lifless objects having once done so to animate a sphinx through her power.
Doing so also enable her to draw their empowerments back in order to make herself infintiely stronger with every little bit of their blood meshed with hers she retakes.
Path to Hell Magical Blood Constructs Paranormal Awareness: Being a vampire she has an acute sense for the supernatural, able to see, feel and otherwise perceive many things that even others of her kind cannot. Just as hell had its circles, purgatory, situated at the threshold of heaven, has its terraces, each representing one of the seven mortal sins.
With Virgil again as his guide, Dante climbs the mountain; the poet shows us, on its slopes, those whose lives were variously governed by pride, envy, wrath, sloth, avarice, gluttony, and lust. As he witnesses the penance required on each successive terrace, Dante often feels the smart of his own sins. His reward will be a walk through the garden of Eden, perhaps the most remarkable invention in the history of literature. The study suggests that Dante presents a vision of 'transhuman' potentiality in which the human person is, after death, fully integrated into co-presence with other individuals in a network of relations based on mutual recognition and interpersonal attention.
The Commedia, Heather Webb argues, aims to depict and to actively construct a transmortal community in which the plenitude of each individual's person is realized in and through recognition of the personhood of other individuals who constitute that community, whether living or dead.
Webb focuses on the strategies the Commedia employs to call us to collaborate in the mutual construction of persons. As we engage with the dead that inhabit its pages, we continue to maintain the personhood of those dead. Webb investigates Dante's implicit and explicit appeals to his readers to act in relation to the characters in his otherworlds as if they were persons.
