High Priestess
Vandal Savage is a murderer, an all-around bad person and deserved death. Everyone knew that, and Kendra did truly believe this once. But when she saw the man and was forced to spend time with him, it did not take her long to fall.
Witnessing Vandal kill Carter in cold blood… something inside her snapped. After that moment, she was never the same and left with questions. Weren't they supposed to die together? Her soulmate had thrown himself in the way of Vandal's dagger and he'd doomed her to grow older without him. Watching her eternal lover being brutally slaughtered does some damage to the mind – damage that can never be undone – especially since this is over the two hundredth time it happened.
Then there was Savage, who had taken her captive. His appearance had not changed and he once again tried to seduce her into staying with him, as he did from time to time. He's the villain, she told herself. She shouldn't listen to his sweet words. He killed Carter.
But Kendra did not know Carter well. Or Khufu, or however he wanted to be called. She knew only the basics of their Egyptian cycle of death and rebirth. She knew the stories, but how true were they? As far as Vandal goes, he knew more about this than her. She allowed herself to just listen to him and paint him in a less antagonistic light, if only for a little while.
Kendra was mistaken in her decision, but her growing insanity and instability did not allow for her to even believe she'd make the wrong choice. So she heard him out and decided to stay with him. When the Legends came to rescue her, she chose to stay behind so that she could strike at the right moment – a lie everyone but Rip Hunter bought.
She learned more about the culture she was originally born in, and Savage taught his "captive" everything she needed to know. That she fell in love was an accident on her part, but she couldn't help it. He was exactly that kind of insane man her warped mind wanted, and he happily fulfilled her wishes.
The Legends were never going to have her nor any of her future incarnations back on the team. She stayed at Vandal's side and often helped him to take over the world, becoming an expert mastermind herself and assisting him whenever she could.
They came across a young Khufu, once. A sixteen-year-old with familiar features approached her and called her Chay-Ara. She brought him to Vandal to discuss what to do with him. It was her idea to let her kill him and end his cycle of rebirth. Vandal opposed it at first - he would be losing a source of immortality - but Kendra argued that he could kill her when she became too old to assist him. She would be reborn, and he would absorb her life force and stay young and immortal.
And so, the cycle continued, albeit slightly edited. The unexpected power couple continued to push their plans forward throughout the ages and often battled the Legends in the process. They did not rely on any past reincarnations of Khufu, but they still were powerful. With little to no hope of beating Vandal, the Legends' last stand was the day London fell and Rip's family died. In the end, it wasn't Savage, but Kendra who killed his son and wife. The Legends either retreated to a damaged Waverider or died on the battlefield.
Kendra, in later incarnations, would believe something was off about her relationship with Vandal. Yet, as soon as he sparked the insanity now hardwired into her brain, she was his again and no longer secretly wished for her true soulmate.
Kendra Saunders and Vandal Savage brought Earth under one shared leadership, and they had strengthened the planet for the incoming Thanagarian invasion. Many died trying to ward off the aliens. In her dying breaths, Kendra reaffirmed her twisted love for him. She passed away before he could steal her life force. As such, the cycle was broken and Vandal was rendered a mortal man again, left to mourn his high priestess.
