Callisto of Cirra was a major character and villain on Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. She was one of the most bloody and ruthless warlords of the time, due to witnessing the horrific deaths of her mother, father, and sister at the hands of Xena, during a chaotic assault on her village. She built an antagonistic relationship with Xena throughout the years, (along with others, notably Gabrielle and Hercules) constantly attempting to destroy her both mentally and physically.

Traumatized by the raid on her hometown as a child, Callisto has been consumed with a twisted hatred and love for violence, pain, and torment. She cares not for honor or fair play and takes delight in tormenting her foes. On many occasions, she has let the opportunity to simply kill Xena pass by, as she would rather have Xena suffer and feel the same pain that she did. She displays signs of bipolar disorder and sociopathy constantly.

Her murderous nature led to the deaths of several people, such as Strife, Perdicus, and Solan, which helped her to build antagonistic relationships with Ares, Gabrielle, and Xena, respectively. She was a highly skilled strategist and martial artist, with fighting skills on par with Xena. However, she would often get carried away when fighting, entering a blind rage that would cause her to lose focus. She has outsmarted and beaten Xena on several occasions and also seems to have a strange affiliation with Xena's Chakram, catching and using it whenever the opportunity arose.
