Borgia Blackwell

(Helen McCrory as Madame Kali, Penny Dreadful) Central to nearly every plot and scheme within the entire family, Boriga (named after the Italian family) leads the Aunts like her own internal sisterhood of Blackwells. Many suspect that Borgia is a powerful sorceress though few have ever been able to gain concrete proof of this - just the way she likes it. She’s always seen chatting with this person or that and is quick to offer a cup of tea and a friendly ear to anyone who she thinks that she can ‘help’. Many of the more powerfully placed members of the family owe their position to her machinations.
