Beldam is the leader of the Shadow Sirens and the only truly wicked one of them all. She is the only one known to have lived for at least a thousand years, as she served the Shadow Queen before her imprisonment behind the Thousand-Year Door. Over the next thousand years Beldam plotted to free her queen, planting rumors of a great treasure hidden behind the Thousand-Year Door to get people interested.

As for the other two Shadow Sirens, Beldam was nice to the silently complient Marilyn, but she disliked Vivian and constantly abused her. With Marilyn and Vivian, the Sirens at an unknown date formed an alliance with the X-Nauts. She inspired Grodus to hunt for the Crystal Stars and use it to open the Thousand-Year Door by telling him that the demon within would obey his every command (which of course the Shadow Queen did not).

In "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door", Beldam and the Shadow Sirens are called in by Grodus several times to defeat the interfering Mario. They hunt him down in Boggly Woods, but Beldam loses his photo and winds up blaming it on Vivian while the real Mario walks by. Soon they find the real photo and fight Mario only to be defeated.

The Sirens try to stop Mario again at Twilight Town with a Superbombomb, but it also is misplaced. Beldam and Marilyn ditch Vivian and tell her to find it, but when they come back Vivian's gone. They find out Vivian had left, but Beldam quickly finds a new third member to abuse in the form of Doopliss.

Soon the Thousand-Year Door was opened, and everyone was racing to the Shadow Queen's crypt. Beldam, Marilyn and Doopliss fought Mario again in an attempt to stall him. They were defeated but made it to the crypt in time to witness the Shadow Queen's resurrection. The Shadow Queen qucikly recognized this as Beldam's work and congragulated her.

However the Shadow Queen was destroyed soon after. With her gone, Beldam was no longer compelled to be evil. She went straight and joined with Vivian again, and naturally Marilyn followed her.

Despite her role as leader Beldam is actually the weakest of the Shadow Sirens. However she does have stat-altering magic on her side.
