Bio
Brooke Stevens is a bookish, sheltered young woman from rural Iowa originally, where her only friend was her golden retriever named Byron. Her father, Roger, is a kind but fairly dull man. He sells insurance for a living, and watches PBS for excitement. Her stepmother, Marylou, is the only mother she can remember; her real mother left when Brooke was 2 years old.
Marylou is an elementary school teacher, and she and Roger instilled a love of learning in Brooke at an early age. Reading was Brooke's main passion: sci-fi, poetry, and literature, especially the Romance poets, but her absolute favorite has always been the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. With her intellectual tendencies, Brooke didn't fit in at all in a small Bible Belt town, and she was delighted to get a scholarship to the University of Chicago. Once there, she made many friends, began practicing Wicca, and in her sophomore year, began dating a young associate professor of history, Dr. Robert Carlisle.
Dr. Carlisle often worked as a consultant with an antiquities dealer named Gabriel Frost. When Frost acquired what appeared to be a medieval grimoire, he contacted Dr. Carlisle with a small photocopied sample, and asked for help with translating it. Carlisle was very excited about the book, and wished to study it at length. Unbeknownst to Carlisle, Frost had also contacted several prospective buyers.
Frost hosted a meeting of the interested parties at his gallery. It was tense from the onset; Carlisle was upset to find that Frost was more interested in the book's monetary rather than academic value. Frost's girlfriend Devon took an immediate dislike to one of the buyers and threw him out. Frost and Carlisle were soon arguing about the translation, and the collectors started arguing about the value of the book.
In the midst of the discord, one of the buyers (Maya Devereux, an evil cultist), tried to simply take the book. She began firing magical rays, killing two of the other buyers. She attacked Frost, but he grabbed the Book and used it to block the ray. This opened a portal to the Shadow Plane, through which he and the others were able to escape.
The Plane of Shadow turned out to be a traumatic experience: it was dark and gloomy, and home to numerous hideous monsters. Moreover, everyone began to manifest strange powers; Brooke was affected more than all the others save perhaps Jo Marx. Two of the group were killed by nightmarish monsters and another disappeared with no trace in the couple of days it took Frost to learn to re-open the portal. When they arrived back at the gallery, they discovered that only minutes had passed on Earth, and the cultist was still there. Together, the survivors were able to defeat her, prompting Frost to suggest they should all use their new-found powers to combat mystical threats.
After consulting with her coven's Priestess for guidance, Brooke became a founding member of the Black Sun supergroup.
