History
In 1920, Demona came to Paris and spent a considerable amount of time digging through the catacombs in search of the Praying Gargoyle. Her scheme was foiled by Fiona Canmore and Team Atlantis, and the Praying Gargoyle was destroyed. ("The Last")
Demona returned to Paris in 1980 to reclaim the reforged Praying Gargoyle, and after slaying Charles Canmore, she retreated into the catacombs while being pursued by Jason, Robyn, and Jon. Robyn was nearly killed by Demona, before being chased off by Jason. ("Estranged")
