Ethel Dee was the lover of Roderick Burgess as early as 1920 and was often seen on his arm when making public appearances.
In 1930, Ethel ran away with Ruthven Sykes, the second in command of the Burgess Empire. When they left they took many treasures with them, including Dream’s helmet, bag of sand and ruby. Sykes traded the helmet to a demon, we later learn was Choronzon, in exchange for an amulet of protection.
In 1936 Ethel left Sykes and took with her the demon’s gift as well as all the remaining items stolen from Burgess and she disappeared until 1988, when she goes to Arkham Asylum in order to see her son, John Dee, also known as the super hero Doctor Destiny.
Shortly after visiting her son, Ethel Dee dies and one of her most prized possessions, the Ruby of the Dream King, is given to her son, who uses it to cause chaos and destruction throughout the world.
This is one of my favorite portraits Scott has done so far. He really captures her likeness and it’s just a perfect portrait.
