Who is Matriarch?

Original Magus & the Matriarch The Matriarch is the public face leadership of the Universal Church of Truth ; the religion centered around Adam Warlock's evil future self the Magus that sets to conquering the universe in the future. As Magus is treated as a God, The Matriarch is the public leadership of the group that more people would actually get to see as Magus has to hang back to a degree to preserve his mystique. Magus probably spotted her in a brothel ("a sinful establishment") and chose this woman of easy morals, but with an iron will and a razor-sharp mind. She was perfect for this role involving power and influence. Her lust for power causes her to betray Magus to Adam Warlock in the hopes that she will take over as the Church leader. But the Magus is well aware of this, having once been Adam Warlock himself in the same position. He had placed her as Matriarch because he knew she would betray him, thus completing the circle of his creation. After getting his use out of her, Magus drops her into a deep pit.
