The High Priestess was in charge of an ancient sisterhood called the Sibylline Sisterhood that were hired by the city of Pompeii to see the future.
[edit] Profile
Earlier she had been possessed by the Pyrovile force by breathing in volcanic dust. Her body had largely turned into stone. She, and the rest of the Sisterhood, had a telepathic link to each other, and to several other citizens of Pompeii, such as Lucius Petrus Dextrus and a young woman called Evelina. Donna Noble told Evelina of the events that were due to come and refered to them as a new prophecy. She foretold that Mount Vesuvius would erupt and destroy the city.
The High Priestess had a plan to convert humans into Pyrovile in order to keep them from extinction and then boil the oceans away, taking over Earth and all civilization. She died as a result of Mount Vesuvius erupting and destroying her along with Pompeii. (DW: The Fires of Pompeii)
