Kate Beckinsale as Selene: Underworld Movie Figures
Alexander
Corvinus was the only survivor of a plague that wiped out his village.
Somehow, his body was able to mutate the virus, mold it to his own
benefit and become the first immortal. He had three sons, of which two
inherited his father's immortality and were bitten, one by bat and one
by wolf, creating the Vampire and Lycan lines. Corvinus' third son, who
did not inherit immortality, also carried the Corvinus Strain, hidden
away in his genetic code an exact duplicate of the original
virus, passed along to his human descendants through the centuries.
This, according to Singe, is the key to creating a hybrid. |

Selene was born to a Hungarian family. Her father was a well-known blacksmith who helped design a fortress for a general named Viktor. The fortress was actually a dungeon intended for the imprisonment of the Werewolf, William Corvinus, condemned for his bloody and destructive behavior and to keep Vampire Elder Markus under Viktor's control. After Lycans purportedly killed her family, Selene was the only one left alive who had walked through the corridors of the fortress. However, she did not know that her family was slain by Viktor himself, and believed Viktor had saved her from the Lycans. Viktor only let her live because of resemblance to his deceased daughter. The night of her family's murder she was made into a vampire by Viktor.
She became a Death Dealer, fighting against the Lycans for vengeance on the atrocities she believed they had committed against her family. She also exiled the Official Historian, Andreas Tanis, on Viktor's orders. Many years later (shortly before the events portrayed in Underworld) she became an object of romantic interest for Kraven, the Coven's regent, however she did not reciprocate his advances.
Selene is proficient with many weapons, both medieval and modern. Modern firearms that she uses include the Walther P99 and a variety of automatic machine pistols. In both movies, she is seen jumping from a ledge at least one hundred feet and landing without injury.
Selene frequently demonstrates superhuman physical abilities. She uses superhuman strength to pin Michael against a wall several feet off the ground, performs spectacular leaps, and strikes her enemies with tremendous force. She kills younger Vampires with just a few blows. She takes a shotgun blast to the abdomen without flinching and manhandles four police officers as if they were rag dolls. She also has the ability to hold her breath for long amounts of time, as humans needed SCUBA to make an underwater dive in Underworld: Evolution. After fortifying herself with some of Alexander Corvinus' blood, go toe to toe with Markus, the actual first Vampire, in his hybrid form. She was slammed against stone walls, breaking the stones, but with no ill effects. After she receives Alexander's blood in the second film she is able to withstand direct sunlight. By the end of the second film in the series, she is completely devoted to Michael, and he to her so much so that in Underworld Evolution they make love.
