Appolonia Franchetti

Appolonia Franchetti is a villain in the Top Cow uninverse as a villain in The Darkness.

History
As a child Appolonia saw how her father tortured her  mother's lover. This made her hate her father and swore to take over the family business. Appolonia was then sent to Europe to get education.When Jackie received his Darkness powers, Appolonia sought out a way to match those powers. She learned that an Entity called the Angelous is the opposite of the Darkness, and she wanted it's power. The Angelus however didn't choose her as the host when she was summoned, but chose Appolonia's mother, Lauren, instead.

After being banished by The Angelus, Appolonia mysteriously reappeared on the anniversary of her parents marriage. She seemed generally happy to see Jackie and was terrified of her mother, since there was nothing left of her in the Angelus.

Although Appolonia at first appeared to be in league with The Angelus when she set up Jackie, she ultimately betrayed The Angelus when she stabbed her with the spear of Destiny when the Angelus was about to kill the Magdalena and Jackie. This forced the Angelus entity to become disembodied once more, but it allowed her mothers suffering to finally end. Lauren died with tears of joy and was happy to see both Jackie and her daughter for the last time
