According to the DC Comics Wiki, Enchantress is a magic-using super-villain. Her human host is the innocent woman June Moone. Originally she was explained as a second personality, but later she was revealed as a separate entity.
During the Legends storyline that kicked off John Ostrander’s Suicide Squad run, Enchantress proved to be an agent of chaos and discontent; she joined up for personal reasons rather than being forced, betrayed the team and was knocked out and thrown in jail by the rest of the Squad. When they were released from prison, she remained behind — and then it was her magic that prevented Deadshot from killing Captain Boomerang when the Squad was ordered to do so by Amanda Waller.
