The Lady of the Flies, originally from the Canaanite pantheon, was referred to as Baal in ancient times, a title meaning "lord" or "master." She holds a complex duality, being both the God of Pestilence and Filth as well as the God of Harvest and Fertility.

As Baal-Zebub, or "Lord of the Flies," her association with pestilence stems from the belief that disease and decay are carried by swarms of flies, making her a fearsome deity of plague and desolation.
