Who is Margali Szardos?

Origin Unwinding the Mystic Paths Margali Szardos was born in Paris, France and tutored in magick by her mother, who was from a long line of ancestral witches. A precocious child, Margali grew into an ambitious young woman who applied herself to the Craft and possessed a natural affinity for magick. Her inquisitive nature led her to explore the world and and devout herself to mastering Nature's laws, often as a gypsy fortune-teller with a traveling European circus. She bore two children, declining to name the father for many years. Later in life, she admitted to having had a sexual relationship with the demonic mutant mystic Azazel , who was mentoring her further in the arts arcane. Whether she were aware that Azazel was involved in an on-going romantic relationship with the mutant shape-shifter Mystique has not been addressed. Azazel delivered the product of his relationship with Mystique, his son, to Margali to raise as her own. Margali raised her two sons and daughter in the small Bavarian circus, where they learned such skills as acrobatics and swordsmanship, and Margali prepared her daughter Jimaine for her mystic manifest destiny as Mistress of the Winding Way.
