Shevaun Haldane became the hero known as Dark Angel after witnessing her father's death at the hands of Mephisto and discovering Mys-Tech's occult ties.

Her father was one of the original seven Mys-Tech board members - and, like the others, he was an immortal sorcerer who made a deal with the demon Mephisto a thousand years ago. He did a lot of bad things in that time, and many of them are now coming back to haunt his daughter.
