    Kthara, the Mother of Demons stands in high favor of Satan and also sits on the Council of Hell. Kthara would possess the body of a young Satanist and member of the Church of the Dark Father named Gloria Hellford when she attempted to conjure a demon. Kthara is free after ten thousand years and has plans to ravage the Earth once more. Daimon Hellstrom comes to Los Angeles after he receives a letter from an old friend stating that his daughter Gloria has been influenced by evil and needs help. Hellstrom is greeted by Gloria who is now possessed by Kthara and she tells him that she is a member of the Church of the Dark Father and ominous things have been occurring since a new woman named Satana has joined the group. Hellstrom meets his sister at a local cemetary and the two siblings end up fighting one another. Hellstrom appears to win the fight when Satana is consumed in hellfire and returns back to his room. Hellstrom fatigued from his battle is captured by Kthara and he awakes tied up within a demonic pentagram. Kthara tells Hellstrom that Gloria is dead and she is using her body as a vessel. Kthara has killed twelve men and Hellstrom would be the final death to complete her spell but Satana suddenly appears and frees her brother. Kthara unleashes a horde of her demonic pets to kill the supernatural siblings but the Mother of Demons is defeated when Satana summons the Basilisk within her and it drags Kthara back to Hell.
