When Lord Satan informed Pontifex Maximus Leonardo that Natalia Da Silva was one of the five most powerful natural magickians on Earth, this was no overstatement on the part of the Master. Born during the astrologically potent Great Alignment on February 5, 1962, in Sao Palo, Brazil, Natalia emigrated to the USA at the age of twelve, and has been living in the local Chicago area since. Among the many magicks mastered by Natalia are age reversal (though pushing 45, Natalia appears to be in no later than her early 20's) and divination, through the course of which she found herself sitting across a tarot table from one Pontifex Maximus Leonardo himself, accompanied by Archdeacon Rao. The nature and content of Natalia's reading caused the Pontifex Maximus to contact Lord Satan in ritual with Rao acting as Archpriest, the gravity of which reaction should speak for itself. It was during this evocation that Lord Satan made known to the Pontifex and Archpriest the Infernal Destiny for Natalia to assume the Archdiaconate of Hecate, and become the fourth member of the Circle of the Master. Leonardo departed at once with the Codex Archonitis and paid Natalia a second visit. Natalia's depth of magickal insight was lesson for even the Vicar of Lord Satan, but the magickal potency of the Archaic Grimoire and its collection of centuries-old ritual was overwhelming to even a magus of Natalia's skill. She had no choice but to accept the calling of the Dark Master, which an initiate of her level had no trouble intuiting at this point; Lord Satan's call has POWER to it (novices: take heed, born-again-satanism is quite distinct from the CALL OF SATAN). Natalia was promptly conferred, selected, ordained, consecrated, and installed as Ebony I, Archdeaconess of Hecate, Matriarch of the Magickal Fire, Infernal Magickian, Guardian of the Gate of Thoth, et. al. Archdeaconess Ebony is currently traveling the world with Pontifex Maximus Leonardo and Archdeacon Rao, sharing her skill with Lord Satan's Circle, and also learning at the foot of the Master Himself.
