Octavius was a powerful witch and the last of her kind whose husband- Hanbity was on the brink of death. She couldn't bear the pain of losing her husband so she created a tonic that would make him immortal- a hybrid. She used their daughter as a sacrifice to enhance the spell. After the tonic, Hanbity slowly began changing for the worse. He became a monster. He terrorized the town and showed no mercy.
Knowing fully well the monster she had created, she knew the task she had at hand was to stop her husband from going rogue. Her mother's grimoire contained the spell that created a monster so did it contain a spell that will reverse the magic.
The time came to make Hanbity mortal again and Octavius wasn't as successful. But she didn't give in that easily. Before she gave up the ghost, she created a spell which hid parts of her grimoire. Sooner than later, the world found out about the hidden grimoire and the hunt began.
