String of Cursed Loves
Modeus was born the youngest out of five daughters in the Eisande family. As the youngest one, everybody in the household spoiled and babied her to death. This didn't help the girl's ditzy ego and typically led her to relying on her older sisters to get her out of trouble. Modeus didn't grow up with much ambition; she flunked out of high school for truancy, disobeying authority, and overall bad grades, and she didn't seem eager to find work. In the mean time, the succubus managed to jump between the next man who would give her the sweetest whispers and isolated herself from her family once getting involved with a new boyfriend. Modeus, being rather dim witted and gullible, fell into a toxic pattern of depending on violent and abusive boyfriends, believing herself to be the one in the wrong. It got so bad that she almost got drowned by one of her lovers and had to kill him in self defense. Despite all of this, the succubus continued to tell herself that all the pain she suffered was her fault.
Leaving Hell
At the age of 94, Modeus fell in love with a charming demon named Rolvakon. She fell into that same pattern again: he would tell her pretty lies, call her beautiful, say the right things... Her parents and sisters were wrong about this one for once. He was right to tell her to not listen to them. Modeus eventually got convinced to leave the Infernal Realm with her lover without letting her family know.
Life outside of Hell started out fine. The couple rented out a decently cheap apartment somewhere in Naperville, Illinois and Rolvakon even started a job at a marketing firm in the city. Things began to take a turn for the worse when Modeus would be reprimanded for wanting to call her family. Why would she want to contact people who were holding her back? Why would you want to talk to people who hurt you? Rolvakon would eventually escalate into yelling at her, blaming her for small problems or mistakes he made, sometimes even hitting her when she got out of line. Modeus made a huge point of leaving home and hadn't called her family in so long- how could she beg for help after doing that to them? Her boyfriend kicked her out of the apartment after four years of this, leaving the succubus alone and broke. The succubus spent a good while hopping between shelters and low-paying jobs. Despite her trials and struggles, she still continued to be strong through it all and with a smile. Her luck sent her to Andres Roquenteau, her soon-to-be benefactor and guide to her new life in Chicago.
Callis Detective Agency and the Soiree
Andrew sent the succubus to work with his biggest Soiree act: Maximillian Callis. The werewolf had a day job as a local detective, which kept the man busy before his training for the annual Soirees. Modeus started her work as a secretary and a small, unspoken romance between the two blossomed. Now, she is aiding Max and Andy in their struggles against both the Obelisks and the mysterious disappearances of noble house members.
