Circus Sinestra

The dark and mysterious Circus moves around the world, appearing and disappearing suddenly from the cities it visits and bringing a dark entertainment before taking people with it when it leaves.

History of The Circus
Since the dark ages Circus Sinestra has existed in one form or another, in Truth it is much older, having been founded by King Solomon after he "lost his way". The nomadic troupe he lead would entertain for money and food as it travelled across the lands somehow. The magical group evolved into performers over time and somewhere along the line Solomon lost his ownership of the circus to his old enemy: Asmodeus.

Asmodeus' Rule
Asmodeus, in the guise of "Doctor Sinestra", took over the Circus after defeating Solomon in a duel, decapitating him and keeping his still living head in a special case. The Circus had always drawn in the lonely and now, with Dr. Sinestra's "help", the beacon was twice as potent. It was sufficient to draw in Harriet Kelly, sister of Helen "Hearthstone" Kelly away from her family, education and life in the late 70s and into the Circus' welcoming arms.

The Circus returned to the City again in 2021 and whisked away several students drawn towards them including Chad, Eureka, Tailwind, Heather Chao and Duncan as well as Lonan Doran. They were subsequently released when the Unstable Elements freed Lonan (though the group only intended to free Lonan).
