This sparks some idea: At moment Adam turned to face Elise, Lamordia was dragged into the demiplane and Adam and Elise switched places. Elise continued to attack Adam, but now with a much stronger body, and managed to pulp him. The Victor came and she fled. She attacks Adam out of jealously. How can that monster inspire such affection from Eva? How can her husband create life when she cannot? The evil spirit the gods send was not to inhabit Adam's flesh, but to poison Elise's heart. That is why "Adam" tries to create children, she never could have one of hers. They are not the perfect children Eva was, so she abandons them, just as Hera abandoned Hefestus. Yet she tries again and again. I think taht in this situation Lamordia darklord would be more fitting.

If you want to go down this road let me suggest two other things. First the freezing/winter weather is a mirror to the bleakness of "Adams" soul and storms and blizzards come whenever the DL gives in to despair. Second the link between Mordenheim and Adam exists less as creator to created than to keep "Adam" from taking his/her own life. "Adam" still loves Mordenheim and can't bring himself to directly harm him...and the continued work to save "Elise" is proof of Mordenheim's love for her. Mordenheim off course knows nothing of this and might well refuse to believe it if was ever suggested to him. He would be an innocent caught in the web of darker forces but this is also his "punishment" for delving into matters man was not meant to know. -Eric Gorman

Elise is now portrayed as wrathful, with snow storms to match. The warm of motherly love is suplanted by cold reasoning. I dont't see her as desperate but as irate and resentful. The link between she and Victor is something she can't stand, because he still shows love when she doesn't want it.
