Who is Tala?

Origin The Witch is Back Tala takes great pleasure in spreading evil and chaos and in corrupting human souls. She first encountered Doctor 13 when the so-called "ghost breaker" was in Haiti where he noticed a group of people chanting near a body of water in the worship of Tala. Tala was released by this ritual and went forth to spread chaos around the world. Time and again Tala has matched her powers against those of her main nemesis, the Phantom Stranger , but without success. Her repeated attempts to seduce him into the ways of evil always meeting with failure as he resists her temptations. Tala formed a group known as the Dark Circle - an organization of mystics dedicated to conquering the world - only to see the Phantom Stranger thwart the Dark Circle's plans of world domination. Tala then decided that if she and her group could not conquer the world, then they would destroy it. She summoned the four horsemen of the Apocalypse - the incarnations of War, Conquest, Famine, and Death - and sent them to wipe out humanity.
