Fictional character biography

Margo Damian was born in Thousand Oaks, California, the daughter of Doctor Daniel Damian, noted archeologist. Dr. Damian discovered the ancient Kree base were Sentry 459 was stationed. On an expedition to South America to locate the Incas' legendary Chamber of the Gods, they were accompanied by a man named "Ike Harris", really the Eternal Ikaris in disguise, sent by Zuras to locate the Chamber because of the "space gods" (a.k.a. Celestials) imminent return. After finding the Chamber, Ikaris revealed himself and told the Damians about the Celestials, Deviants, and Eternals, and the three witnessed the coming of the Fourth Host of the Celestials in Peru. Dr. Damian remained there to study, while Margo and Ikaris returned to New York City.

Margo and Ikaris soon became lovers, and she accompanied him on several adventures. The deviant priest-lord Ghaur put her under his hypnotic control and abducted her to the Deviants' "City of the Toads" in undersea Lemuria. Ghaur held her hostage and changed her form to resemble that of a Deviant so that Ikaris would not recognize her. However, the process that transformed Margo also unintentionally killed her. Ikaris claimed her body and buried her in the same graveyard as other mortal women he has loved and lost.
