Biography

Born in 1947 to wealthy parents, Agatha spent her life traveling as her parents adventured around the globe. She met her future husband, Arthur Harkness, on a dig site after they had both graduated from college and they married only after a few months. Their son, Nicolas, was born a few years after.

While they both built up their professions as archaeologists, Agatha soon also turned to another hobby – studying chaos theory. She might have never taken it on professionally but she soon became an expert in the “little hobby” of hers and it continued even after Arthur's death a few years ago.

Conflicting beliefs and personalities caused a strain on their relationship with their son Nicolas and by the time Agatha and Arthur were teaching at Cambridge, he had removed himself completely from them. To her students, she was unbending and unyielding but most considered themselves lucky to have learned under her.

And she kept herself to herself until she met a younger Wanda Maximoff – let loose on college with a head full of wild ideas and barely any restraint on her powers. Taking her under her wing (and her thumb), Agatha drilled the lessons of chaos theory into her slightly unwilling pupil and stepped into a mother role that Magda, far away, was unable to provide. She gave Wanda the focus and the necessary structure in which she could safely use and live with her powers.
