'''Maghda''' is the leader of the [[Coven]], aligned with [[Belial]] in Diablo III. She is a key figure in the early game story, and appears in numerous in-game cinematics, usually to taunt the player through the quests. Her key moment comes mid-way through Act One, when she kills [[Deckard Cain]] and kidnaps [[Tyrael]].

This plot twist, handing off the death of iconic game character Deckard Cain to a newly-invented NPC most fans referred to as "that butterfly witch" was a very unpopular development, and generated a great deal of fan complaints.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?838886-I-m-still-mad-they-killed-Deckard-Cain][http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?837570-Why-is-almost-everyone-saying-the-story-sucks&p=8394307&viewfull=1#post8394307][http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?833768-Confused-about-Internal-Feedback-on-Story-Dialogue-in-Blizzard]

After numerous cinematic appearances, Magda finally appears in game in Act II, when she is finally tracked down and battled in [[Alcarnus]].
