Evil shamaness who sought revenge against the Siberian Amazon nation for expelling her from their tribe. Alti drew her power from the deaths of others.
When they first met, young Xena was intrigued by Alti and Alti used her to attain more power. (Borias: "A shamaness like that could only be trouble!")
Alti once told Xena: "I want to tap into the heart of darkness, the sheer naked will behind all craving, hatred and violence. I'll become the face of death itself. Capable of destroying not only a person's body, but their soul. Help me and I'll make you "Destroyer of Nations."
Xena sided with Alti and fell further into darkness. Twelve years later Xena redeemed herself and defeated Alti.
Alti's future-life reincarnation, Khindin, was the most powerful manifestation of Alti's spirit confronted by Xena. With the help of the Mehndi, Xena and Gabrielle were able to travel through the karmic tunnel to destroy this manifestation of Alti's evil.

Despite her attempts to hide from him she and Orpheus never could escape Bacchus for long and kept on being drawn back into his cult, mostly due to his hold he had on Orpheus then she herself. Despite Orpheus constantly endangering her she loved him and never really did accept that he was her biggest problem.
Hercules was in love with Eurydice also but she stayed with Orpheus blinded by her love for him, until she finally realized that he cared more about his music and Bacchus' help in making him a star than her and saw him for what he really was. In desperation she made a deal with Bacchus agreeing to marry him if he would leave Hercules and Iolaus alone. Bacchus agreed but Hercules refused to accept that and intervened. The fight that resulted from that caused Bacchus to accidentally kill Eurydice in the crossfire.

Hercules and Nebula come up with a slow scheme for drawing her into the light which will kill her, but when she traps Iolaus (after killing the rest of Hercules' crew, by web or by poison), they speed up their plans, eventually burning Arachne to death - though not her nasty arachnid children. They escape with Nebula, intending to return the treasure but not to prosecute her, and she and Iolaus plan to spin a love nest of their own.
When she learned later that her Kingdom was in trouble she joined up with Hercules and Iolaus and set sail for Sumaria with them. During her time back in Sumeria she fell in love with Iolaus who shortly thereafter was killed by her brother under Dahak's influence.

In reality it was a baby basilisk who upon hatching the was named Ruff by Iolaus. Hercules, Jason, and especially Iolaus took a liking to the baby until they realized it's venom could cause anything it touches to turn into fire.
After Ruff nearly burned down Corinth, Jason decided that Ruff was too dangerous to be running around in Corinth. The boys set him loose near an area where other basilisk roamed. Ruff never made it though and was kidnapped by a freak show owner.
The freak show traveled to Corinth and was noticed by Hercules, Iolaus, and Jason who saw Ruff who had grown quickly into an adult. The three boys helped free him from his owner and with the help of Kora took him to an island sacred to Artemis where he would be protected.

Serena
Born a golden hind, a magical half-deer half-human creature, Serena's�s people were killed by Zeus who feared the blood in their veins, which had the power to kill even a god. Serena alone was spared from Zeus�s punishment with the help of Ares, the God of War who gave her the ability to become human at will, so as to hide from him. Ares took advantage of her gratitude, and feeling she owed him her life Serena stayed under his protection until she met Hercules.
She quickly fell in love with Hercules and eventually with his help broke away from Ares and married Hercules even though to do so she had to give up her hind self and become mortal. Her marriage was short lived as Ares nephew Strife killed her shortly thereafter framing Hercules for it.
Hercules later traveled back in time to when Ares first helped her and forced Ares into making her human shortly after her kind dies. It came at a price though as by doing so her memory of Hercules and everything they shared was erased.
She is currently married and has at least one child that we know about. Hercules met her once after she was saved and helped her get Triton, god of the seas and brother of Neptune, to return her husband who was lost at sea. Hercules was given the chance to tell Serena how he felt and how he used to know her, but he knew it would only make her life difficult and his loosing her was the price he agreed to pay to save her life. Serena will likely never know what she once meant to Hercules in another lifetime.
An evil being from the other side later assumed Serena's form as part of a plan to try and cost Hercules his soul.
