Jezebel is a figure known in bibles such as the Old Testament. Jezebel is portrayed as a seductress, murderess who lied and cheat, the woman who fought against the well known prophet Elijah.
Jezebel is a Phoenician princess who journeys to Israel to become queen. She fought against the temple to free the constraints of a country who is dominated by priests, hence challenges the well known priest named Elijah. Elijah used his influence and his belief of him being a messenger of "the Almighty" tried with all his might to make Jezebel reach her own downfall even if it is to wipe Israel out of the map of the world. Very addictive and unpredictable story.
