Joanna Wise's History

During the Supernatural Crisis Act following the San Francisco's tsunami, Wise and Secretary of Supernatural Ophelia Reyes primarily gave announcements and interviews concerning the Safe Zone and its residents.

However, Wise was also the leader of the secret Pandora Project, having enhanced her body to hold mystical energy as a magic-infused cyborg. She had been responsible for summoning the Shenlong, intentionally causing San Francisco's destruction and the public controversy on magic. Her final intention was to have the power of a ruler in a world that no one would have access to magic but her.

When confronted by the Scooby Gang, she revealed herself while fighting against Buffy. Wise, despite being powerful, didn't have as much experience as the Slayer, who had absorbed the power from all the slayers to fight her. Wise then summoned the Shenlong once more, intending to absorb his power and defeat Buffy. Willow then had the idea of rescuing the dragon so he would seek his power. However, Wise declared she would never give up her powers. Buffy kicked her into the open mouth of Shenlong, who devoured Wise.

Xander and Dawn had filmed Wise during the fight, so these images were used to publicly expose her and the Pandora Project. President Malloy then declared everyone involved in this treason would be punished, and his administration would review all policies regarding the supernatural with the help of those credited for exposing the conspiracy: Riley and Samantha Finn, in accord to the Scoobies' plans.
