History[]
Sarah Jewell began her first encounter in the paranormal when she exorcised a Poltergeist haunting an asylum. Soon afterward, Jewell traveled across the world. In one adventure, she slew a Manticore in Persia. Eventually, Jewell arrived in London and joined The Silver Lantern Club, where she frequented with all manner of eccentrics and adventurers. This is where she first met Sir Edward Grey, also a member of The Silver Lantern Club. When Grey decided to hunt down the remains of the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra, leaving Britain in 1908, Jewell decided to tag along. After some years, the two separated. Jewell later became acquainted with Marie-Thérèse LaFleur while adventuring in Louisiana. [1]
Jewell and LaFleur eventually found themselves in Siam, where they encountered McAllister and Sandhu, two representatives of the imperial British Government, who were pursuing a kidnapped child. She revealed to the officers that she is pursuing a cult dedicated to human sacrifice with the aid of another foreign visitor, named Farang. The five traveled into the jungle, attempting to locate the cult, and encountered various supernatural hazards. [1]
Eventually, McAllister was killed by cult members, and Jewell was injured in the same fight, forced to stay behind and tend to one of the cult's victims, while the remaining adventurers forge ahead. She eventually returned to Siam with LaFleur and Sandhu, while Farang (whose real name is revealed to be Raimund Diestel), is transformed into the Black Flame and escapes to New York. [1]
By the 1950s several comics had been written about her adventures. One of the titles was called Sarah Jewell Mysteries, containing at least one story called "The Thing in the Well", portraying Sarah Jewell as a teenager.
