Isabella was a successful artist, who married William Lancaster. Though her art were a success, it tore at her marriage as William found her talent threatening to his own ambitions. When he began to exert control, Isabella rebelled with help from her friend, Miranda Nance, who practiced Egyptian magic. They trapped William's soul inside a portrait, and concealed it in a mural. Unfortunately, Isabella lacked the heart to dispose of William's body and simply hid it. She continued to live out her life with her daughter until her death.
