Story

Skylanders Issue #4 (Sprite Fight!)

Calliope was being attacked by a sea creature until Spyro came to the rescue after hearing the fairy's call for help. Unknown to Spyro, she stole his powers from him into a crystal she wore while thanking the dragon for saving her.

Skylanders Issue #5 (What the Hex!)

Calliope later attended Hex's charity magic show in Woodburrow and was picked as a volunteer for a magic act. While performing the card trick, the fairy managed to touch Hex, stealing her powers before the magic trick amazed both Calliope and the audience.

Skylanders Issue #6 (Meet & Greet & Defeat)

Calliope was one of the eager fans who wanted to meet the Undead Skylander, Cynder, after her battle in the Rumbletown Arena. As the two shook hands, Calliope was able to steal Cynder's powers without her knowledge and the two parted ways. Although she would never forget the experience of meeting Cynder, Calliope didn't feel right about what she did to Spyro, Cynder and Hex, but knew that she didn't have a choice. She flies off, hoping that the one who is forcing her to do the deeds against her will would finally let the fairy go. 

Skylanders Issue #7

Calliope hesitates as a dark figure commands her to shatter the crystal she held.

After stealing the powers from Spyro, Cynder and Hex, Calliope returned to the Cadaverous Crypts. However the three Skylanders, including Wallop, tracked her down and chased after Calliope in hot pursuit through the caves. She came upon a stone where a hidden shadow urged her to shatter the crystal upon it to release the power she had stolen. Calliope hesitated, as shattering the crystal will render Spyro, Cynder and Hex helpless and she didn't feel right about it, despite knowing that she had struck a deal with the shadow. The hidden figure furiously ordered her to do so, and Calliope obeyed reluctantly, smashing the crystal onto the stone and allowing the shadow to absorb the power, reviving himself.

Calliope looked on in horror as Malefor, the Undead Dragon King, used his renewed fire power to easily overwhelm Spyro, Cynder, Hex and Wallop, rendering them unconscious.

Skylanders Issue #8

When Malefor departed to carry out his latest plan, Calliope was placed in charge to tend to the unconscious Skylanders who were imprisoned. When they awakened, the fairy is met with animosity from Wallop and Cynder, despite her attempts to explain the reason behind her actions. Calliope soon explained to the Skylanders Malefor's true motive and still tried to provide the Skylanders food. When they explained their experiences with Malefor and how the fairy can still make amends, Calliope couldn't bring herself to help the Skylanders, feeling ashamed of her actions. She flew away into the caves in tears, unaware that the Skylanders would soon be freed.

Skylanders Issue #9

When Calliope returned, she discovered that the Skylanders have escaped without her aid. The fairy recalled Spyro's words and how the Skylanders didn't blame her for her actions, which helped her ultimately realize that Malefor had simply used her and didn't want to help Calliope find her family as he promised in their deal. Calliope angrily gained the revelation that by stealing the powers of Spyro, Cynder and Hex, she has become a monster like Malefor and wondered how she will face her family after what she did.

Spoilers end here.

Trivia

• Calliope was named after Skylanders comic story writer, David Rodriguez's deceased pet cat. He states that it wasn't intended to be a tribute to his first pet, but allows it.
