Qa'ra is the ancient vampire who brought across LaCroix's mortal daughter Divia, who in turn brought across LaCroix. As revealed in the flashback to "A More Permanent Hell", in 79 A.D., when Divia was desperately ill, her mother, Selene, brought to her a healer named Qa'ra (an "ancient one", as she put it). His cure for the girl was bringing her over. Some time later, Qa'ra tried to control her as her master, and Divia killed him. She then placed what was left of his corpse in a sarcophagus in an Egyptian tomb—the same tomb where LaCroix eventually imprisoned Divia herself by sealing her corpse in a sarcophagus marked with the symbol of Ra.
