The daughter of a
human and a
demon, Vera Gemini was scorned by both sides of her ancestory for her dual nature. She eventually came to lead the Cult of the Harvester of Eyes, dedicated to
Xenogenesis, restoring to power a demon race that had ruled
Earth in the distant past. Human agents were recruited, some demonstrating psychic powers and serving as Reapers of Souls (assassins) or Agents of Fortune (producing objecs of value). Based out of the Mexican jungle, Vera would -via human sacrifice- return a demon to Earth, and these demons would take on human form and be integrated into society, from rulers countries to common muggers, until there would be enough demons to rule the Earth once again. Vera and her group trained the
Devil Slayer(Eric Simon Payne) as a Reaper, but he quit upon learning their true intent and soon opposed them directly, becoming one of their strongest foes. Vera sent demon assassins after Payne and his wife, but the demons were driven off by
Deathlock the
Demolisher's aid.
