History
Dr. Selma Tolon, a member of the Turkish relief group, the Red Crescent, was assisting survivors of a series of earthquakes that had devastated parts of Turkey. She came across the mystical artifacts she carries when trapped underneath a devasted building. These artifacts had been hidden by Merlin centuries early after the defeat of Sultan Suleiman the Great at the hands of Etrigan the Demon. She has dedicated herself to defending her country of Turkey. Recently, Etrigan has taken interest in The Janissary as he hopes to obtain the Eternity Book.
Special Powers And Weapons
The Janissary carries the magical Eternity Book of the wizard Merlin, allowing her to cast magical spells, although she has not mastered the use of it yet. She also wields the mystical scimitar of the Sultan Suleiman the Great. These artifacts have given her great strength, stamina, fighting prowess and the ability to fly.
