Biography

Edith was born with an unknown name in around 1890. In around 1915, Edith had a son, Aldus, with her husband.^[1] Some years later, they visited the World's Fair.^[2] In 1920, after realizing that Vandal Savage was on her and her husband's tail, they had their names changed to "Edith Boardman" and "Joe Boardman" and moved once again. However, Aldus admitted to having heard them talk at night and so they decided to explain the nature of their eternal cycle of reincarnation to him.^[1] Five years later, they were hunted down by Savage at a fleabag motel in North Carolina, where he ambushed them in the middle of the night. Edith had Aldus hide in the closet and promise that no matter what, he'd stay put, and he did. Then Edith and Joe were murdered by Savage.^[2]

She was eventually reincarnated as Kendra.

Powers and abilities

Powers

Reincarnation: the ancient Egyptian knife that killed Edith in her original incarnation as Chay-Ara had an unusual effect on her soul and that of her lover, Khufu. The couple is stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of death and rebirth through the ages. This allowed Edith to deceive death and live through the centuries, succeeding in achieving her goals in the next life. Edith was also able to remember what had happened to her in previous lives.

Legacy

The death of Edith and her husband, spurred their son Aldus to study, all he could about Savage. This information then ended up in the hands of the Legends who used it to eliminate Savage.
