When Trigon did manifest, however, he took the form of a human man—not the monstrous, red giant she would later come to know as his true form. Arella was seduced by Trigon, married him and became pregnant with his child before he revealed the truth to her. It was here that Raven was born. On Azarath, Raven was taken under the wing of a mystic named Azar who taught her to control her emotions in order to curb the energy in her bloodline. His looming threat would eventually force Raven to leave Azarath in search of ways to stop him once and for all, a process that would inspire her to become a Super Hero.
Under the teachings of Azar, Raven learned to become a powerful empath and mystic. By controlling her own emotions, she is able to reach out and read the emotions of others, obtaining a near-telepathic insight into their minds. Being around too many people with too many heightened emotions can be a risk, depending on the circumstances. XL Sager than in thy fortunes: for in them Ambition steel'd thee on too far to show That just habitual scorn, which could contemn Men and their thoughts; 'twas wise to feel, not so To wear it ever on thy lip and brow, And spurn the instruments thou wert to use Till they were turn'd unto thine overthrow; 'Tis but a worthless world to win or lose; So hath it proved to thee, and all such lot who choose.
XLI If, like a tower upon a headlong rock, Thou hadst been made to stand or fall alone, Such scorn of man had help'd to brave the shock; But men's thoughts were the steps which paved thy throne, Their admiration thy best weapon shone; The part of Philip's son was thine, not then Unless aside thy purple had been thrown Like stern Diogenes to mock at men; For sceptred cynics earth were far too wide a den.
XLII But quiet to quick bosoms is a hell, And there hath been thy bane; there is a fire And motion of the soul which will not dwell In its own narrow being, but aspire Beyond the fitting medium of desire; And, but once kindled, quenchless evermore, Preys upon high adventure, nor can tire Of aught but rest; a fever at the core, Fatal to him who bears, to all who ever bore.
XLIII This makes the madmen who have made men mad By their contagion; Conquerors and Kings, Founders of sects and systems, to whom add Sophists, Bards, Statesmen, all unquiet things Which stir too strongly the soul's secret springs, And are themselves the fools to those they fool; Envied, yet how unenviable!
One breast laid open were a school Which would unteach mankind the lust to shine or rule: XLIV Their breath is agitation, and their life A storm whereon they ride, to sink at last, And yet so nursed and bigotted to strife, That should their days, surviving perils past, Melt to calm twilight, they feel overcast With sorrow and supineness, and so die; Even as a flame unfed, which runs to waste With its own flickering, or a sword laid by, Which eats into itself, and rusts ingloriously.
XLV He who ascends to mountain-tops, shall find The loftiest peaks most wrapt in clouds and snow. He who surpasses or subdues mankind, Must look down on the hate of those below. Though high above the sun of glory glow, And far beneath the earth and ocean spread, Round him are icy rocks, and loudly blow Contending tempests on his naked head, And thus reward the toils which to those summits led.
