History: Tareva's past history is unrevealed.

(Marvel Graphic Novel: Dr. Strange and Dr. Doom: Triumph and Torment) - Tareva was one of the sorcerers of Earth summoned to the Temple of the Three in the Javan Rainforest by the Aged Genghis to participate in the centennial contest to decide the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth. Although initially indignant at the idea of the contest, she agreed to participate. Like most, she swiftly fell before the magic of the Vishanti and her body was then used by the Vishanti against the others. She regained her mind at the contest's conclusion, when Dr. Strange became the victor.
