The Witch Minerva serves as the main antagonist throughout the entire 'Tales of a Bounty Hunter' series. She is characterized by her fiery red hair and piercing green eyes. Minerva practices black magic and demon worship, going so far as to make a deal with the Princes of Hell to gain the title of High Priestess and rule the Universe in exchange for delivering all living souls to Hell.
As a teenager, Minerva was the first to befriend Raven and welcomed her into her coven, even referring to Raven as her sister. However, their friendship quickly deteriorated after Raven left the coven. Minerva developed an unhealthy obsession with her, vowing either to bring Raven to her side or to kill her. It was later revealed that Minerva is the last descendant of Merlin and Morgana, while Raven is the last descendant of Merlin and Nimue, making them distant relatives.
The hatred of Morgana built up through her descendants ultimately drove Minerva to madness. In her pursuit of power, she was willing to sacrifice the entire world, becoming a puppet for the Princes of Hell to realize their plan for dominion. Minerva allied herself with the alien scientist Orb Zero and the Master of Vampires, Yokai, to find the lost Key to Eurilia. However, she was quick to dispose of them when they outlived their usefulness.
Throughout the series, Minerva consistently exhibits her cruel and bloodthirsty nature, never relenting even when she appears powerless. She is ultimately killed by Noemi, who uses the Death Blade in a poetic act of revenge. Not only does Noemi protect Raven, but she also avenges the death of her dear friend, Grav.
