Adam Leos, the brilliant mind behind the intricate mechanisms of Hale's Round Table, possesses an engineering genius that transcends mere mechanics. His expertise encompasses a vast array of technological marvels, from powerful exosuits and intricately designed firearms to the delicate art of crafting advanced prosthetics. A visionary in his field, Adam's relentless pursuit of knowledge has not come without cost; visible scars serve as a constant reminder of his own ambitious, and ultimately failed, experiments in cerebral enhancement.

With the departure of the light magic wielders Hale and Dem into the annals of time, Adam finds himself largely occupied with the meticulous repairs and maintenance of their vessel, Envoy. His dedicated, and undeniably smitten, companion Tony often keeps watch, her admiration a silent testament to his ingenuity. However, even in this period of relative quiet, destiny has its own designs for Adam. His unique skills and untapped potential are poised to be drawn into the unfolding events, proving that even a genius reborn a blacksmith has a crucial role to play when the threads of time become entangled.

History books declared him dead at the close of World War II, a final, definitive end to the reign of one of humanity's greatest villains. However, the truth is far more insidious. Adolf Hitler orchestrated his own demise, a masterful deception that allowed him to slip into the shadows and join the ranks of the Vampirials. Now, in this new, undead existence, he ostensibly serves the powerful Vampirial Lord Adryan. Yet, beneath the veneer of servitude, a cunning and ambitious mind continues to plot. Trusting Adolf Hitler would be a catastrophic error, for his own malevolent schemes are quietly taking shape, and they chillingly involve the formidable Gigas Class Leviathan Revolutionary.

High Saint Alexander Palaydin, a figure revered as a holy icon, currently holds the esteemed position of High Saint within the American branch of the venerable Hall of Saints. For many years, his name has been synonymous with unwavering strength, unimpeachable honor, steadfast integrity, and a righteous fury that could shake the very foundations of evil. A long-standing pillar of the Hall, Alexander was once a formidable presence on the front lines of their sacred missions.

However, in recent times, the High Saint has taken a less direct role in active duty. A shadow has fallen upon his house, cast by the increasingly erratic and unsettling actions of his youngest son, Cornelius. This familial turmoil has forced Alexander and a loyal cadre of his subordinates into a precarious position, compelling them to become fugitives as they grapple with the disturbing path their kin has chosen. The weight of his son's transgressions now burdens the holy icon, testing the very principles he has so long upheld.

Father Amedeus Beowulf, a young priest within the hallowed ranks of the Hall of Saints, carries a weighty legacy upon his shoulders – both spiritual and literal. He is rarely seen without the massive sword that has been a cherished heirloom, passed down through countless generations of his family. Within the Hall, his closest companions and fiercest allies are his Phalanx, a bond forged with his own cousins, a connection that sets him somewhat apart within the broader familial structure. Despite his calling and his sacred duty, Amedeus does not enjoy the warmest regard from the rest of his kin. Yet, a significant task has been entrusted to him, a mission directly from High Saint Alexander Palaydin himself. The question that hangs heavy in the air is: who is the individual, so important and perhaps so endangered, that Alexander has dispatched the young saint Beowulf to find?

Armissa Ahrkon, once a mortal woman and one of the three daughters of the influential Ahrkon family, holds a unique and spectral existence. She became the very spirit bound to the formidable black Excalibur scythe, Deathbringer, the weapon wielded by her beloved Dien, the current reaper of souls. Before her spectral transformation, Armissa was a founding member of the clandestine and powerful organization known as the Blood Moon. Recent, cataclysmic events have seen her essence pulled from the confines of the scythe, granting her a new, tangible form. But is this a genuine second chance at life, a liberation from her weaponized existence? Or is she merely a pawn in a grander, more sinister game orchestrated by a darker entity with its own inscrutable designs? The answer remains shrouded in mystery, her newfound freedom hanging precariously between a blessed rebirth and a perilous manipulation.

Arturo Twistedtrunk currently exists as a formidable Vampirial Lord, a being of considerable power within their undead society. However, his origins lie in a long-forgotten mortal life as a man named Arthur. While the echoes of his human past have largely faded into the annals of time, the potential future of his lineage may hold a significant key to the present. It is highly likely that his descendants, yet to be born in this earlier era, are deeply intertwined with the very reasons that have propelled Hale and Dem thirty years into the past, making his observation a crucial piece of their temporal puzzle.

Little concrete information exists regarding the enigmatic being known as Biomant. He often appears as a pale, unsettling man, yet possesses the terrifying ability to shapeshift into a colossal metal dragon and other formidable forms as the situation demands. With the shattering of Death's ancient covenant, Biomant has been stirred from his slumbering state. Driven by an urgent need to reclaim his lost power and his true identity, he seeks to restore himself to his former glory as the Black Dragon King. His agenda is clear: to take back everything that fate, and perhaps others, have stolen from him, unleashing the full might of his draconic essence upon the world.

Boulder, a figure of immense physical stature matched only by his gentle heart and perpetually jovial spirit, materialized from the enigmatic depths of Africa, his origins and past lost to the mists of amnesia. Discovered adrift and without a single memory to anchor him, this happy brute found an unexpected home and purpose within the ranks of the Round Table, serving with unwavering loyalty under the radiant leadership of Hale Skyne. Now, with Hale and Dem lost to the vagaries of time, Boulder finds a measure of peaceful respite within the sheltering embrace of the Gigas Class Leviathan Envoy. However, the tranquility is fragile, for a past he cannot even recall stirs ominously close, its shadow cast by the presence of one of his very comrades, hinting at a history waiting to be violently unearthed.

Brandon Bradford, formerly a steadfast pillar of Hale Skyne's esteemed Round Table, was a figure defined by his impeccably refined combat prowess and a talent both chilling and profoundly effective: 'blood memory.' This enigmatic ability granted him the unsettling power to reach into the very lifeblood of his opponents, extracting their deepest memories and flawlessly replicating their combat techniques with lethal precision. Without question, Brandon stood as the Round Table's most formidable and dangerous asset. Now, with Hale and Dem adrift in the currents of time, the mantle of leadership has unexpectedly fallen upon Brandon's shoulders. As he navigates this unfamiliar territory and guides the remaining members, the unfolding situation grows increasingly complex and, for a man of his particular skills, undeniably intriguing.

Once, Colline Higgins was a vibrant young girl with hair the color of sun-bleached wheat, known for her infectious laughter and a speed that mirrored the very wind. A perpetual smile danced on her lips as she moved with effortless grace. However, the callous endeavors of another have cruelly stripped Colline of her joy and perceived femininity, leaving behind a formidable weapon often mistaken for a frail young man. While not on missions, her life and treatment within the Hall of Saints are relatively comfortable, especially when alongside her cousin, Father Amedeus Beowulf, and her twin brother and fellow Phalanx, Conner. Recent events have drawn Colline and Conner into the orbit of Squirrel Johnson and the enigmatic Skyne family, leading to an unexpectedly interesting period in their lives, hinting at a connection to a past and future far beyond the familiar walls of the Hall.

Conner Higgins, the twin brother of Colline Higgins and a steadfast member of Father Amedeus Beowulf's Phalanx, carries the literal and figurative weight of a traumatic past. As a child, he was subjected to brutal surgical modifications at the hands of his own father, a horrific process that involved the grafting of copper and other metals throughout his body. This agonizing procedure was intended to amplify his latent electrical abilities, turning him into a living weapon. The architect of this cruelty ultimately faced a brutal reckoning for his actions. Rescued from this nightmare by their cousin, Amedeus Beowulf, Conner and his twin sister Colline have remained by his side, forming his loyal Phalanx. While their duties often involve perilous missions for the Hall of Saints, their lives outside of active service are surprisingly comfortable. However, recent developments have seen Conner and Colline spending an unusual amount of time in the company of the Skyne family, while Amedeus embarks on a mission of retrieval under the direct command of High Saint Alexander Palaydin, hinting at a deeper connection to the unfolding events.

The youngest son of the revered Alexander Palaydin, Cornelius Graham stands in stark and unsettling contrast to his esteemed father. Behind a carefully cultivated façade of calm composure lies a being of profound spite and unchecked arrogance. He often presents himself as a figure of humble piety, a mask that cleverly conceals the demonic essence that truly resides within. Unburdened by conventional morality, Cornelius is not only willing but eager to inflict punishment and torture upon those who stand in his way, viewing such acts as necessary tools to achieve his desires. Perhaps these cruel tendencies were not a deviation, but simply his true, monstrous nature finally clawing its way to the surface. The charade of Cornelius Graham is fading, replaced by a dawning realization of his authentic self and his true, terrifying name. He is Hydramant, and the fractured pieces of his being are drawing closer, promising a terrifying and imminent wholeness.

Demiour Gen, most often called Dem, lived what she believed to be a largely unremarkable life, blissfully unaware of the extraordinary destiny that lay dormant within her. Her true nature as one of the ten innocent, beings of significant power and purity, was deliberately concealed from her, as was the vibrant and often dangerous magical world that subtly intertwined with her mundane existence. Her life took an abrupt and irreversible turn when her stepfather, Bud, reacting to the ominous approach of the Hall of Saints, insisted she seek shelter with a man she barely knew – the light magic user Hale Skyne. From that moment forward, the normalcy she once knew shattered, replaced by a whirlwind of unbelievable events and revelations. Now, unexpectedly cast into the past alongside Hale, Dem finds herself with a unique and precious opportunity: an expanse of time to truly understand the depth of their connection and the profound meaning they hold for one another.

Dien, a former embodiment of Death itself, was once a grim reaper defined by a mordant wit and an unwavering commitment to the delicate equilibrium of life, death, and the very fabric of reality. His allegiance lay solely with this cosmic balance, a solemn oath he upheld with detached precision. However, that ancient vow has been shattered, corrupted by the insidious Olympian Strain. Now inhabiting a resurrected, fleshy human form, Dien finds himself facing far more than the challenges of adapting to mortality. The entity to whom his broken oath was sworn has come to collect its due, forcing the former reaper into a confrontation that transcends even the boundaries of life and death.

Elfonse Deroot, a Vampirial Lord of considerable tenure, stands as an anomaly amongst his peers. Despite being older than any other Lord within their ranks, he perpetually embodies a youthful exuberance, often displaying a hotheaded and brash demeanor. For many years, Elfonse has willingly placed himself in the service of Vampirial Lord Adryan, his loyalty unwavering and his obedience absolute – save for one persistent, nagging question. The recent decision of Vampirial Lord Adryan to take a former human tyrant, a man distinguished by an odd little square mustache, under his wing has sown a seed of bewilderment in Elfonse's otherwise unquestioning devotion.

Hale Skyne, a powerful light magic user known as a San, had barely weathered the brutal conclusion of the devastating Vampirial versus Auk Mentar War when fate dealt him another cruel hand. He and the remnants of his formidable Round Table found themselves dragged before a farcical kangaroo court, accused of the very genocide that had scarred their recent past. The sham trial erupted in chaos, leaving the council and their masters decimated and the Round Table branded as fugitives. Yet, amidst the turmoil and the desperate flight, a single beacon of hope shone: Hale was on the run alongside the woman he had come to love. Now, unexpectedly thrust thirty years into the past, Hale and his beloved have been granted a strange and precious gift – an abundance of time to truly understand the depths of their connection amidst the echoes of a world yet to fully unfold. Despite his reluctance, the mantle of leadership, once again, rests upon his shoulders in this unfamiliar era.

Harry Ganjau's earliest recollections are hazy fragments of his youth spent alongside his closest friend, Kriss Black, their childhood discovered within the sterile confines of a laboratory. Despite this unusual beginning, Harry possesses a naturally friendly disposition, his distinctive cowboy hat and duster earning him the curious moniker of the gothic cowboy. A seemingly innocuous act of teenage rebellion – listening to metal music within the hallowed walls of a church – drew the unwelcome attention of his devout mother and subsequently the swift intervention of the Hall of Saints. Now, Harry's mind is a prisoner, contained and controlled by experimental technology wielded by a new, unknown Saint. Yet, beneath the surface of enforced obedience, a fierce and unwavering battle for freedom rages within the confines of his own mind.

Hayloskien, once the enigmatic other personality residing within Hale Skyne, served for a significant portion of Hale's life as his closest, and often only, confidant. Their bond was one of absolute trust, a silent understanding upon which Hale leaned without reservation. However, the recent fracturing of their shared existence has resulted in their separation, not only into distinct physical forms but also across the vast expanse of time, with Hale venturing into the past. Now existing independently in the future, Hayloskien finds himself poring over a mysterious journal, its pages penned by Hale himself from his new vantage point in the past. As Hale navigates the treacherous currents of history, Hayloskien shoulders the weighty responsibility of managing affairs in their present, his actions guided by the cryptic entries of his other half.

Heaven Constantine, the valiant twin sister of Hope Constantine, is rapidly ascending the ranks of the esteemed Hall of Saints. Fueled by an unyielding commitment to justice and righteousness, Heaven was handpicked for the distinguished position of personal guard to Alexander Palaydin, one of the Hall's most powerful and respected figures. Yet, her dedication to the Hall is intertwined with a deeply personal motivation: a fierce and unwavering protective instinct towards her beloved sister, Hope. Now, with Hope's whereabouts shrouded in uncertainty, Heaven nervously bides her time in the company of the Skyne family, her valiant spirit clouded by worry for her missing twin.

Beneath a seemingly gentle exterior, Hope Constantine carries the heavy burden of a profoundly traumatic past. As a young Magi with the rare and volatile ability to alter reality, she was brought into the supposed sanctuary of the Hall of Saints. However, this protective fold soon twisted into a crucible of unimaginable cruelty. Under the insidious tutelage of Cornelius Graham, and at the brutal hands of fellow Phalanx member Spyke Fielder, Hope endured systematic and relentless torture. This horrific ordeal was a calculated attempt to shatter her spirit and weaponize her immense, reality-bending powers. Now, Hope has vanished alongside her tormentors, Father Graham and Spyke, her whereabouts unknown and deeply concerning. Her valiant twin sister, Heaven, is driven by a fierce determination to find her, a beacon of hope against the encroaching darkness.

To the casual observer, Iris Shivan would appear to be the younger sibling. However, for millennia, the truth has been inverted: she was, in fact, the elder of the two sisters. While her counterpart, Endda, chose to embrace a complete reset, allowing her new self as Toni Shivan a fresh lease on life, Iris made a starkly different decision. She requested a complete severance from any semblance of a human personality. Now, a life spent on the run following the farcical trial and the violent demise of the Wolf Council has unexpectedly led Iris down a new and intriguing path, one where the ancient truth of her being may finally find a new and unforeseen purpose.

Javier Don Quixote, a knight errant consumed by a fervent, some would say delusional, sense of chivalry, is a figure of both pity and unease within the rigid structure of the Hall of Saints. The once-revered Don Quixote family, once counted among the seven most esteemed lineages within the Hall, has suffered a catastrophic fall from grace, their very name now whispered with connotations of madness. Legend speaks of a patriarch who succumbed to the abyss of insanity, dragging his entire bloodline into the fractured landscape of his broken reality. This inherited legacy of madness has cast a long and isolating shadow over Javier, rendering him an outcast amongst his peers. Despite, or perhaps because of, their tarnished reputation, Javier has inexplicably aligned himself with Father Cornelius Graham, a figure of increasing and unsettling influence within the Hall. Gazing upon the chaotic forces that threaten to engulf the world through what he fervently proclaims his "Eyes of Truth," Javier perceives a grand battleground where he can finally prove his worth, a twisted arena where his very madness might just be a virtue, a weapon in a world teetering on the brink. He is a tragic knight errant, a dangerous enigma, and a stark reminder of the fragility of even the most noble houses.

Yes, he is that Goliath, a fact Jerry Gath prefers to leave unspoken, a giant of a man with a history etched in ancient battles. His current focus lies on the rigorous training of his nephew, Travhell – or Travis – Gath, imparting the wisdom and strength gleaned from centuries of warfare. Following the violent demise of the council during the sham trial, Jerry Gath, along with his nephew, joined the rest of the fugitive Round Table. Their flight led them to a sanctuary, a haven where an unforeseen event triggered a profound change, opening up a new and uncertain path for the ancient warrior and his protégé.

Jessie Palmer, the spirited and undeniably hyperactive sister of Lynne Palmer, also known as Duchess, may be petite in stature, but her voice possesses a remarkable power, more than capable of filling any void.

Now finding themselves in a secure location alongside their allies, Jessie has been granted a welcome opportunity to cultivate a closer connection with Brandon, a man who has long held her enthusiastic interest.

Joe Skyne, the dependable second son of the Skyne family, has always held his older brother Hale in deep admiration. Throughout his formative years, Hale served as his unwavering shield against the often-cruel realities of the world, a steadfast protector who stood resolutely between Joe and the taunts of childhood bullies. However, beneath his gratitude, Joe harbored a quiet yearning for more than just protection. He longed to cultivate his own inner strength, to stand tall and independent. Now, alongside his brother Tryp, Joe dedicates himself to rigorous training under the tutelage of their Uncle Squirrel, diligently forging the power he once only dreamed of possessing.

Junkzilla, a biomechanical kaiju of terrifying scale, is a being that defies the natural order, violently rupturing the delicate boundaries between realities. It tears through the ethereal veils that separate the chaotic realm of Limbo from the tangible world of the living, leaving destruction in its wake. Born from the detritus of forgotten worlds and fueled by pure chaos, this colossal mechanical monstrosity resembles a nightmarish dragon, its form an ever-shifting amalgamation of scavenged scrap. With an insatiable hunger, Junkzilla devours both metal and flesh, greedily incorporating its victims into its own grotesque and perpetually expanding biomechanical anatomy. Its emergence heralds nothing but devastation, a harbinger of utter annihilation for anything that crosses its path.

She was the first. From her very being flowed the wellspring of all that would come after, a singular entity who possessed the nascent forms of every ability that would eventually define the ten humanoid races. In a primordial act of creation, Justice Etun gave birth to the very first members of each of these diverse peoples, seeding the world with its myriad forms of life. With the advent of the potent and transformative Olympian Strain, the enigmatic scientist Nute finally possessed the key he needed. His ultimate goal: to pull Justice Etun from the veiled realms beyond and return the mother of monsters to the world of the living, a resurrection with potentially cataclysmic consequences.

Kriss Black exudes an air of calm composure and effortless cool, a stark contrast to the turbulent circumstances that have defined much of his life. His connection to Harry Ganjau is deep and enduring, stretching back to their earliest memories. Their shared history is intertwined with the unsettling experience of their liberation from an enigmatic facility in their youth, an event whose shadowy details continue to linger in their minds. Now, their fates remain intertwined as they both find themselves under the control of the Hall of Saints. Within their grasp, the scientist saint Studde Armory has seemingly unlocked a potent and previously unknown power within both Kriss and Harry, hinting at a destiny far greater, and potentially more dangerous, than their current captivity suggests. Despite his constrained circumstances, the air around Kriss hints at a dormant authority, a captive uncrowned king awaiting his moment.

Lancelyn Spalding, who was once known simply as Lance Spalding, possessed a captivating androgynous charm that often led to a charming ambiguity. Adored by many for their striking beauty, they were frequently mistaken for a woman, a persistent confusion that resonated with a deeper, long-suppressed truth: a feminine spirit yearning for expression, overshadowed by the forceful presence of an overly masculine aspect. The advent of the transformative Olympian Strain acted as a catalyst, finally freeing them to embrace their authentic self. In this newfound liberation, Lancelyn finds a particular joy in the company of Travis Gath, a connection they have long desired, allowing them to explore their identity with a sense of freedom and acceptance they had never known before.

Lyland Newton is a young man who carries the unseen weight of a life tragically marred by suffering. His past, a shrouded and harrowing tale of mystery and abuse, has left him deeply fractured, his mind and emotions existing in a state of profound damage. Reduced to a level of near-basic functionality, he often navigates the world with an almost primal instinct, his interactions bearing a striking resemblance to those of a domesticated animal, seeking simple comfort and routine. However, a recent transformation into a Chimera has sparked a slow but undeniable recovery within his shattered mind. The question that now hangs heavy is: how will Lyland's fragile and reawakening consciousness develop under the unpredictable and often delusional wing of his insane uncle, Javier Don Quixote? Will he find healing and growth, or will he be further shaped by the chaotic reality of his unstable guardian?

Lyndsey Palmer, more commonly known as Lynne, presents a study in contrasts to her vivacious sister, Jessie, yet the bond between them remains an unyielding force. Where Jessie radiates boundless energy, Lynne exudes a composed and commanding presence. Her serious demeanor and subtle touch of vanity project an aura of unwavering strength and regal bearing. To underestimate Lynne is a grave error, for to cross her path is to invite the attention of a formidable adversary, one whose already considerable power has been amplified and transformed by the advent of the Olympian Strain, making her an even more dangerous force to be reckoned with.

Once upon a time, amidst the oppressive reign of the Naltu, three figures ignited the flames of revolution, leading humanity's desperate fight for freedom. Two met violent ends, their names forever etched in the annals of history as Venge the Magi and Arrich the Anti, their final battle a tragic clash of ideals. But the fate of the third leader, the one simply referred to as the scientist, remained shrouded in mystery, his name lost to the very history he helped to shape. Unbeknownst to all, this scientist, Nute, retreated into the shadows, a silent puppeteer subtly guiding the threads of fate from behind the scenes. Now, as a new chapter unfolds, Nute seizes the transformative power of the Olympian Strain, a potent tool to further his own intricate and long-concealed plans, the full scope of which remains tantalizingly out of reach.

Rywho Yu is a man whose life's trajectory was violently altered by loss, only to be salvaged and redirected by the former Grimm Reaper, Dien. Taken under Dien's wing, Rywho became his dedicated apprentice, immersed in the grim arts and groomed to one day inherit the weighty mantle of Death. However, the unforeseen advent of the Olympian Strain has shattered that expected path, breaking the ancient oath that once defined Dien's existence. Now, the very meaning of the mantle of Death has shifted and evolved, leaving Rywho's future uncertain as he navigates this new and perilous landscape alongside his former mentor.

Saddler Johnson, the son of the resourceful Squirrel Johnson, is said to have inherited a potent connection to the spiritual energies that flow through his father's lineage. However, despite this potential, the young hunter displays a far greater affinity for the precision and power of a well-crafted rifle. Currently, Saddler is enjoying a period of relative peace, camping alongside his cousins and a few recently acquired friends, perhaps honing his marksmanship in the quiet solitude of the wilderness, unaware of the larger currents stirring in the world around him.

Spyke Fielder is a creature defined by an unyielding loyalty and a chillingly sadistic nature, his formative years spent within the brutal ranks of Father Cornelius Graham's Phalanx in the Hall of Saints. His devotion to Graham was absolute, a driving force behind actions steeped in a cruel fervor that knew no bounds of morality. Spyke reveled in the infliction of pain, developing a disturbing and signature practice of branding his victims with burned crosses, a perverse symbol of his twisted allegiance. Now transformed into a Chimera, Spyke's devotion will undoubtedly manifest in terrifying new and unpredictable forms, his capacity for cruelty amplified by his altered state.

Squirrel Johnson is a figure of profound wisdom and considerable power within the Skyne family, revered as a great sage. His deep and intricate understanding of the magical arts is matched only by his remarkable ability to unravel complex problems, offering insightful solutions where others find only impasse. As a trusted mentor to the Skyne brothers, he provides guidance and support, serving as an invaluable asset to the entire family. Squirrel's wisdom and power have earned him widespread respect, his reputation extending even to the highest echelons of magical authority, including the High Saint of China and Alexander Palaydin, the formidable High Saint of America. His vast knowledge and potent abilities solidify his position as an indomitable force and a cornerstone of the Skyne lineage.

Studde Armory is a scientist of undeniable genius, his mind a boundless landscape of exploration and discovery. Once he delves into a subject, he becomes utterly consumed, losing himself within the intricate labyrinth of his experiments and theoretical frameworks. Though his fundamental nature leans towards purity and intellectual honesty, Studde's insatiable curiosity renders him susceptible to the sway of persuasive individuals. The burgeoning influence of Cornelius Graham promises to unlock even more fascinating, if potentially dangerous, doors for Studde, as he eagerly sets his brilliant mind to studying entirely new and uncharted horizons.

Arising from the scorched earth of a desert war zone, naked and initially disoriented, Tiamant leaves a chilling trail of lifeless bodies in her wake, a testament to the raw power she unknowingly wields. Her emergence echoes a cataclysmic past, where a great battle was fought to seal her away, a conflict that pales in comparison to the even greater devastation her full awakening promises. Driven by an instinctual pull, she seeks to reunite with Biomant, the other half of her ancient being, their reunion a harbinger of the Dragon Kings' return. With the stirring of Hydramant, the awakening of their progenitor cannot be far behind, and Tiamant intends to be ready, a force of nature poised to usher in an era of unprecedented chaos and destruction.

Tony Shivan is a woman who embodies a compelling paradox: a quiet strength that belies a fiercely burning spirit within. Her striking red hair is a visual echo of the passionate heart that beats beneath her calm and composed exterior. Born from the selfless sacrifice of the Auk Mentar Endda's human personality, Tony's very existence has been intricately intertwined with the subtle, often manipulative influence of her sister, Iris Shivan. However, with the transformative arrival of the Olympian Strain and Iris seemingly turning her gaze towards her own enigmatic interests, Tony finds herself with a newfound opportunity. The threads of her life may finally be disentangling, allowing her to focus on the burgeoning connection with Adam and to explore the deeper meaning of her own existence in this ever-changing world.

Travis Gath is a quiet and reserved young man, the nephew of the legendary Jerry Gath, the one and only Goliath. The circumstances surrounding his parents leaving him in his uncle's care remain shrouded in a veil of mystery. However, this unconventional upbringing proved to be a liberation for Travis, granting him a freedom to explore his own identity that he might not have otherwise found. This newfound sense of self blossomed even further with the arrival of Lance, who has since embraced their true identity as Lancelyn, forging a special connection that allows Travis to be even more authentically himself.

Tryp Skyne, the youngest of the Skyne brothers, is a veritable beacon of perpetual joy, a human embodiment of the most cheerful breeze. Despite his relatively tender years, Tryp possesses a remarkably sharp intellect, a bright and agile mind that often belies his youthful exuberance. He navigates the world with an almost unnerving level of unwavering optimism and a quick, often surprising, wit that can easily catch those around him off guard, making him both an endearing and occasionally perplexing presence.

Rip Van Scarrion presents himself as a polished Australian businessman, exuding an air of quiet confidence and enigmatic charm. His sharp attire and worldly demeanor suggest a life spent navigating the complexities of international trade. But what if the truth of his origins stretched far beyond the recent decades of commerce? What if the moment of his transformation into an Auk Mentar coincided with the mysterious and permanent disappearance of the infamous Jack the Ripper from the gaslit streets of London? This intriguing possibility casts a long shadow over the seemingly straightforward persona of Mr. Van Scarrion, hinting at a past shrouded in temporal anomaly and a connection to events far stranger than any balance sheet could reveal.

Millennia ago, in the shadowed laboratories of the malevolent Naltu scientists, an experiment of terrifying ambition took root. Their goal: to surpass the already formidable Vampirials, beings themselves crafted by the enigmatic scientist Nute. They sought to unleash the raw, unrestrained essence of vampiric power and hunger, to shatter the limits imposed upon their predecessors. The result of this unholy endeavor was Vladimir Bradford, an ancient embodiment of Naltu sins given life.

The experiment was a horrifying success. Vladimir became a creature of immense power, his thirst an unquenchable abyss. Tragically, this monstrous nature was not merely biological; it was woven into the very fabric of his being, a dormant program waiting for the correct cues to reactivate his primal state. Though capable of moments of lucidity and even genuine charm, the beast within remains a constant threat, a shadow clinging to the edges of his consciousness.

Now, in self-imposed seclusion, Vladimir clings to the fragile threads of his sanity. He has found solace in the vast libraries provided to him by Nute, becoming an avid reader with a particular fondness for the knowledge contained within their pages. Among his most treasured possessions is a copy of the Book of Forsaken Futures. This extraordinary tome grants him a chilling overhead view of the currents of time, allowing him to witness the tapestry of past, present, and future events unfolding before his very eyes. Despite the monstrous potential that lies dormant within him, Vladimir, in his lucid moments, can be surprisingly personable, a cultivated mind trapped within an ancient and dangerous form. He is a living testament to the hubris of his creators, a creature forever teetering on the precipice of the monstrous legacy they so carelessly unleashed.

Yipp, a Dien Mentar distinguished by his striking green fur, is a steadfast and fiercely protective presence in the lives of the Palmer sisters, Jessie and Lynne.

His ancient wisdom and quiet strength offer a sense of security and continuity for the sisters, making him an irreplaceable part of their lives.

Zebadiah, often called Zeb, embodies the spirit of carefree living, always ready to embrace a good time and ignite any gathering with his infectious energy. As the son of the formidable Squirrel Johnson, Zeb is said to have inherited a significant portion of his father's considerable strength. Currently, he revels in a life unburdened by responsibility, his days likely filled with laughter and the pursuit of the next celebration.
