Hypatia is the hidden antagonist of season two. She is first introduced as Patience Lucero, the charming, mild mannered wife of holistic healer Kai Lucero. The couple bought an old hotel in Midnight and renovated it, naming it The Crystal Desert. It was first believed that Kai and his wife were cult leaders, masquerading their cult as a spa. However, the couple were brought into the fold after Kai helped an ailing Manfred by pulling residual demon energy from his body.
Patience begins an extra-marital affair with Manfred, shortly after Manfred exorcises a ghost from their hotel, saving their business venture. It is revealed that Kai is able to draw supernatural energy from it's host, rendering them utterly human. The Reverend decides to divest himself of being a weretiger, while Lem temporarily becomes human, so that he and his wife may start a family. Unbeknownst to them, Kai is gathering energy to break the curse on Theophilus, his wife's twin brother and secret lover.
Eight hundred years ago, Hypatia, Theophilus and Delilah were the three witches of origin. When Theophilus married Delilah, Hypatia grew jealous and began and illicit affair with her brother. This caused their magic to be corrupted, which brought about a lineage of dark witches. Delilah, pregnant with her husband's child, beheaded Theophilus and cursed Hypatia and her descendants from ever finding love. Hypatia, pregnant as well, lost her magic and used her son to trap Delilah in a painting.
Hypatia wandered the earth with her brother's head. Only an army of seventy times seven beasts to could free him. When she met Kai, he used his unique ability to glean 490 vials of supernatural energy so that Theophilus would be free.
With the help of the dark witches, Hypatia temporarily conquered Midnight and resurrected her lover.
