Biography
Born as the princess of Epirus under the name of Myrtale during the reign of Philipp II of Macedonia, Petaniqua was a follower of Cybele and met Philipp there. To cement the alliance between Epirus and Macedonia, the two agreed to marry. Philipp, however, soon began to search for other women in order to strengthen the alliances he made between the various greek poleis. Myrtale, who had assumed the name of Olympia, began to consider her husband a barbarian, while Philipp began to fear the blood cult of Cybele. To Olympias surprise, her goddess answered. Cybele (who had been a Malkavian Osiris) began to take an interest in the passionate, dominating woman and initiated her into the deeper mysteries of her cult. When Philipp was away to conquer Greece, Olympias enjoyed the blood of her goddess. Cybele nurtured Olympias hatred for men of all kind, save for her own son, Alexander, whom she adored and determined to make the king of the whole world. When Cybele demanded that Philipp should make war against the Persians, Olympias turned Alexander against his father, who reacted by taking her son away from him and giving him to the famous philosopher Aristotle for education. When Alexander and Philipp became more estranged due to Philipps constant travels and Alexanders adolescence, Olympias arranged Philipps assassination and the crowning of Alexander, earning her the Embrace from Cybele.

Despite Olympias pleas, Cybele forbid her to bring her son into the Blood and so, Alexander died in Babylon, throwing his empire into disarray. She ventured to Delphi and attended a conclave of 13 True Brujah, explaining her own intentions to them and submitting to them as a priestess. When the conclave demanded from her to deliver a talisman to Asia Minor, she found Cybele's ash on her return and the True Brujah (whom she soons suspected to be Malkavians who had impersonated members of this strange bloodline) had disappeared. Afraid of further plots, Olympias ventured into the wilderness, eventually meeting with Lupines and eventually joining forces with the Black Spiral Dancers, due to the similarities between the rites of the cult of Cybele and the rites of the Wyrm. It was there, that she was named Petaniqua by her followers. When the Sabbat arose during the Inquisition, she was readily accepted due to her hold on the Black Spiral Dancers, but few trusted her. It was then that the Malkavian Elders decided to act against her and nearly killed her. Petaniqua was saved by the Black Spiral Dancers in her retinue and her torpid body was hidden away in a Pit. In the 1960d, however, she finally awakened, trying to gain influence in the Sabbat Inquisition. It was then that she betrayed one of the Anathema to the Camarilla, but because she had diablerized him, the Malkavians managed to find the dark stain on her soul and demanded her addition to the Red List. Petaniqua fled into the wilds, joining with a pack of Black Spiral Dancers, hated and hunted by Sabbat and Camarilla alike.

She was finally diablerized by the Alastor John Trent in the 2000d, who inmediatly took her place on the Red List because he diablerized her and had taken the taint on her soul into his own.
