| {{Quote|A cold and cunning woman, Ophelia is the hand at work behind every situation. Those that join her find themselves curiously doing what she wants whether they planned to or not, and those that oppose her have a tendency to disappear. In a fight she is fast, quiet, and versatile. Unable to take large amounts of punishment or carry the more powerful weapons, she offsets this by using conventional firearms in conjunction with dark magic to maximize her offensive and defensive capabilities. No need to face dead-on what you can take out at 300 yards with a sniper rifle.|The Blood 2 Website}}

| |
| ===Early Years===
| |
| Much of Ophelia's early life is unknown. Her British accent hints that she is a descendant of English immigrants, or that she was born in England and migrated to America later. She was probably brought up in a family of some wealth as she was able to enrol in college and join a sorority (Iota Eta Pi).
| |
|
| |
| Ophelia's entrance into the Cabal came during her college years when a genius student created a reanimation serum. The Cabal sent zombies into the campus to secure him and the serum, but as zombies are apparently wont to do, they wandered instead to the "largest collection of defenceless and scantily clad women" - Ophelia's sorority house.
| |
|
| |
| Observing the power that the Cabal wielded, Ophelia had an evil inspiration: ditch her education, family, and associates and join the cult. After destroying all of the incriminating evidence against her, as she knew they would never take a perky bleached blonde sorority girl, she presented herself to the cult and was accepted.
| |
|
| |
| ===The Cabal===
| |
| Ophelia was eventually married, either before or after joining the Cabal, and gave birth to a child (given tradition, it can be assumed that she took on his surname of Price). Her husband was also a member of the cult, but for reasons that remain unstated he rescinded his membership. In response, the Cabal torched their homestead, killing him and their young son. Ophelia was left insane and babbling incoherently about the cult in the remains of her burnt up home, though she did not blame them for her plight but instead was left with a deep abiding hatred of her late husband.
| |
|
| |
| Caleb found Ophelia in the remains of her homestead, during his criminal wanderings. He was struck by her beauty but also the words in her mad ramblings. As he rehabilitated her, Caleb learned about the Cabal and their master Tchernobog and joined the cult as well seeking power. It is also implied that he and Ophelia became lovers. Eventually, the two rose through the ranks and, along with Ishmael and Gabriel, became members of the Chosen, Tchernobog's elite generals. The four Chosen served the dark god well, preparing for the day when He would throw open the doors between the dimensions and take over the Earth, although earning the ire of others high in the cult like Cheogh.
| |
|
| |
| ===Betrayal and Death===
| |
| Sometime between 1871 and 1928, Tchernobog summoned the four Chosen to the Hall of the Epiphany, His main chamber. Instead of giving orders, as the Chosen had thought, Tchernobog told them that they had failed Him, and proceeded to disavow them. The four were stunned as Tchernobog sent His lieutenants in to take the Chosen out one by one. Cheogh swoops down from the darkness and kidnaps Ophelia, causing Caleb to jump to her aid but in the end fail to grab hold of her.
| |
|
| |
| Cheogh takes off and drags her to the Altar of Stone, where he crucifies her on a large stone monolith. After Caleb was resurrected his first action was to find Ophelia and defeat Cheogh. Upon arriving at the place where Ophelia was hung he screams in anguish as the temple begins to rumble, and a wall collapses. Cheogh emerges and Caleb slays him. He then takes Ophelia down off the altar and places her on a funeral pyre to cremate her body. Afterwards, he approaches the body of Cheogh, points his Sawed-Off Shotgun at the creature's head, and pulls the trigger one final time.
| |
|
| |
| ===Resurrection===
| |
| At some point in the year 2028, Ophelia is resurrected by unknown means although Ishmael says that "she was the first to come through". It is likely however that the tears between the realities had something to do with her and the other Chosen's return to the land of the living. She is held by the Cabal in the Temple of Poon in CabalCo headquarters. Once Caleb arrives and finds Ophelia tied to the altar (something rather reminiscent of their previous encounter), she attempts to seduce Caleb into assisting her, before Gideon arrives and spirits her away through another rift.
| |
|
| |
| After Caleb catches up with Gideon, Ophelia appears on the rooftop, inexplicably free, and calls Caleb a "dumb bastard" for following Gideon in. While there, Caleb battles another version of Ophelia as part of the Undead Chosen. They eventually reunite in Reality Beta after the defeat of The Ancient One.
| |
|
| |
| ===The Nightmare Levels===
| |
| During their long walk home through the other world, the four Chosen stop at a campfire and tell scary stories. Ophelia, nonplussed by Caleb's sudden disappearance, tells of her time in Iota Eta Pi during the Cabal attack.
| |
|
| |
| ===Relationship with Caleb===
| |
| Ophelia's affection for Caleb is debatable to say the least. Very little of the relationship from her side is explored in the canon media; the only acknowledgement of them as lovers is in the Blood manual and accompanying bloodhlp.txt file. In fact, some textual sources relating to Blood II even go so far as to say she has outright rejected Caleb as well as herself following her unexplained resurrection.
| |
|
| |
| "Resurrected into a world with no future and full of disgust over the undead creature that she has become, Ophelia is desperately searching for a way out. She'll do whatever it takes to escape from a world gone mad, a body she no longer knows, and the love of a man she's grown to despise."--Blood II instruction manual
| |
|
| |
| Other background material also hints that one of Caleb's motivations in Blood II was supposed to be winning Ophelia back, although none of this ever really appears in the final product, likely due the game's rushed development causing last minute cuts and story changes.
| |
|
| |
| "Can he hold the Chosen together long enough to retake the Cabal? Or will his actions destroy them all? But the most important question is what he will do when he discovers that the love he has kept alive for nearly a century is nothing but an illusion?"--Blood II instruction manual
| |
|
| |
| When Caleb does finally meet her in-game they engage in some friendly sexually charged banter, none of which can be considered as being strongly suggestive of a relationship in doubt, although the fact that she was tied up at the time may have had something to do with her conducive attitude. She does also seem to share the other Chosen's frustration over Caleb's stubbornness with regards to accepting his responsibility to seal the rifts, but this does not equal hatred.
| |
|
| |
| She is also annoyed when he follows Gideon through the rifts, although once it is all over her annoyance with him seems to have become moot, though what of it remains after the fact remains unclear.
| |
|
| |
| "He wants you to follow him, you dumb bastard."--Ophelia Price, C3L10: Cabal CO Rooftops
| |
|
| |
| She does not seem to mind being trapped with him in the other world, and in The Nightmare Levels during her story she warns the others against revealing her secret, indicating that she still felt rather strongly about Caleb's good opinion of her.
| |
|
| |
| "Actually, I have to let you two in on a little secret to tell this story. Don't tell Caleb though. He'd never forgive me."--Ophelia Price, C5L2: Iota Eta Pi
| |
|
| |
| When she does eventually meet up with him later at the end of her story, she goes on to address him in a very familiar fashion, hinting at some secret affections, or at the very least a fear of Caleb turning against her.
| |
|
| |
| "Umm... you're having a bad dream... Caleb, dear. Just a nightmare.--Ophelia Price, C5L2: Iota Eta Pi
| |
|
| |
| Likely, their relationship is based on a tenuous bond of the hardships they went through - Ophelia's insanity, her involvement with the Cabal and subsequent disavowment, and being resurrected over a century later. It is known that the two were lovers back when they where serving Tchernobog, however it is unknown how this has survived through death, time, and battle.
