Selene, portrayed by British actress Kate Beckinsale, is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Underworld film series. More specifically, she serves as the central character in the films Underworld (2003), Underworld: Evolution (2006), Underworld: Awakening (2012), and Underworld: Blood Wars (2016).
Beckinsale's daughter, Lily Mo Sheen, plays the character as a child in a flashback in Underworld: Evolution. In Underworld: Endless War, Selene is voiced by Canadian voice actress Laura Harris.
Selene was created by Kevin Grevioux, Len Wiseman, and Danny McBride. According to Grevioux, Selene is based loosely on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Selene was introduced in the first film of the series, Underworld.
Flashbacks to her childhood have shown Selene to have been a normal, happy, vibrant child, born in the late 14th century. The youngest of two daughters of a master mason and smith, Selene and her sister Cecilia were shown to love painting pictures, and playing games like 'Silly Goose'. At the age of nineteen, the untimely and gruesome deaths of her entire family completely broke her heart, as she had loved them all dearly, and left her an orphan. The deaths of her six-year-old nieces hit her especially hard. Deceived by their murderer, Viktor, into believing that a pack of Lycans were the ones responsible, (which, given the states she found their bodies in, wasn't a hard lie for her to believe), Selene dedicated herself to avenging their deaths.
