The Warlock's Daughter is a character who has the capacity for both good and evil. Her affiliations vary, but she is known for her involvement with Shadowpact, a group of magic-based superheroes. Her involvement with Shadowpact begins after she completes her off-world prison sentence and the group recruits her back on Earth. Recruited by Ragman and Nightshade, she then conducts her first mission to retrieve Blue Devil's trident from Hell.
In Robin (vol. 2) #121, she becomes acquainted with Tim Drake and later develops feelings for him, but any further development of a relationship with Tim is hindered by her father Henry's involvement in the mob. Darla is later killed in a conflict; this results with her father traveling the world with her corpse in the hopes of reviving her. Darla's father encounters Johnny Warlock, who uses Henry's lifeforce to resurrect Darla as the Warlock's Daughter. She later returns to Gotham City in search of Tim Drake.
The Warlock's Daughter plays a minor role in the DC Universe. Although she is an anti-hero who encounters Robin, she has yet to determine who and what she will fight for. However, because of her involvement with Shadowpact, she has been an asset to the superhero affiliation.
