HISTORY
Margali than raised all three children in a small Bavarian circus, where she pretended to be a gypsy fortune teller. While Kurt worked on becoming a circus acrobat, Margali trained young Jimaine in the ways of magic, however the brooding Stefan eventually left the circus to make his own way in the world. The small circus was bought out by a rich Texas millionaire, who ordered Kurt to be placed in the freak sideshow. The anguished Kurt quit the circus and headed toward Winzeldorf, West Germany, where his foster-brother Stefan lived. There Kurt discovered that Stefan had gone mad and had killed two children.
Two days after leaving the circus Kurt tracked Stefan down and attempted to capture him and bring him into custody. During the fight Kurt accidentally broke Stefan's back thereby killing Margali's only son. The superstitious locals discovered Kurt with Stefan's body, and because of Kurt's demonic appearance they assumed that he had also killed the two children. However Kurt was saved from the mob by the psionic powers of Professor X, who asked Kurt to join his new team of X-Men which he agreed to and went to America with Professor X.
When the super-team called Excalibur freed Douglock from the interface and resealed the demon into his chamber, Margali vanished. In that moment of vulnerability, she was captured by the Lord of Limbo Belasco , also the keeper of the Soulsword. Belasco tortured Margali for sometime until Amanda killed all of her old circus friends and with Kurt, ventured to Limbo. In reality, however, Margali had switched bodies with her daughter, so that Amanda's mind was trapped in the body Belasco had, and Margali was free to rescue her. When Belasco was defeated Margali revealed that she had not killed her circus friends, but instead had temporarily removed their souls to complete the ruse. Everyone was restored to their true forms and Margali left Limbo in her daughter's hands.
POWERS AND ABILITIESMargali is the Guardian of the ancient Winding Ways, a mystical path of power that magicians follow, and which grants them periods of great power followed by periods of weakness. Margali is a powerful sorceress, with various spell-casting abilities, including teleportation, shapeshifting, elemental control and so on. While her power is based in black magic, Margali on the whole uses her powers for good.
