  • I need them to make sure my own records match up, my friend, since it's been a few years since my chronicles were last updated. Just for completion really, if it's no trouble.

      Seraphina

      Born into a respectable Roman family, Seraphina chafed at the idea of becoming a Roman Matron. Taken to the games when she was a child, Seraphina thrilled at the spectacles. She was enthralled with the Gladiator lifestyle and with the gladiators. They were her obsession and thrill but soon going to the games was not enough- she wanted to be in them. Concerned with her preoccupation, her family arranged a marriage, hoping this would redirect her attention. They hoped wrong, one day to the horror of her family she announced that she was training to become a Gladiator. With her Gladiator lover and a pocketful of money, she changed her name, and went to one of the outer provinces to learn. She learned to fight and went from fighting in small amphitheaters to the Colliseum in Rome.
      Currently she is taking the cut throat tactics she learned in the Arena and has put them to good use at Sherman & White. The glass ceiling that other female stockbrokers have hit is about to be smashed to bits, and who better to do it but Seraphina. Her recent deals in Global International and Erickson have added to the company’s bottom line and added to her Swiss Bank Account.

      Madeline La Touche

      Why Madeline La Touche is considered the weakest of Henry of Kent's students is a mystery to us, and yet time and time again, Immortals have sought her out, thinking she would be an easy kill and then they would have the kudos of having taken the head of a student of the Grandmaster himself. Time and again, those Immortals have learned the depths of their mistake. Didn't they know who her teacher was? Didn't even one of them think her teacher would have prepared her? She may not be a regular player of the Game, she may seek solitude and a peaceful life away from its madness, but didn't any of those Immortals ever wonder why she didn't hide on Holy Ground? The fact is, she doesn't need to; she is more than capable of handling herself. Madeline's swordarm may not put her in the same league as the likes of May-Ling Shen, Kyra of Sparta, Frances Drummond, or the fabled Kellistra, but she is more than able to hold her own.
      Three headhunters found this out when she fought them to a standstill, almost losing their heads, and no less than twenty-three Immortals are now notches on her sword, nearly paralleling the intensity of Frances Drummond’s swordplay.

      These days, Madeline spends her time on the beautiful island of Bermuda, painting and running her successful art school at her mansion overlooking Hamilton harbour. She is visited often by her Immortal friends looking for a break away from the Game, and on occasion, Madeline visits her closest friend, Roman Alvarez, in Canada at least once a year, enjoying his outrageous flirting while giving as good as she gets, and every now and then, they go on a road trip across America hunting for Immortals preying on the weak and unwary.

      Long may she live,

      Henry of Kent

      Henry has just returned to LA after another fruitless attempt to track down Damon Case. Four days ago, after hearing through the grapevine that Case had been spotted in Denmark, Henry hopped on a transatlantic flight, only to get there too late. Another headless body and another trail gone cold. Just like Paris two years ago; only that time it was three dead immortals, and Case had slipped the net again. For the ultimate hunter of headhunters, the fact Case remains so elusive must be a constant source of exasperation for the immortal. Especially as it's so personal. Henry must still recall his first encounter with Case. One year after he died at Antioch and still had no idea what he was, still traumatised by his torture and eventual death at the hands of the Turks, Case came for his head. Luckily for Henry, Cleophon of Athens rode to the rescue. Back then, the Athenian was still one of the best immortal swords around. He almost took Case's head, if they hadn't been interrupted. Case slipped away and Henry became another student of Cleophon.

      Once the Athenian told him the truth about what he was, Henry changed. He came to believe immortality was a gift from God bestowed upon a chosen few to be savoured as a means of learning and growing in order to help mortals better understand the world. His beliefs were reinforced when Cleophon sent Henry to train with his former teacher, Achilles of Troy. Not only did Henry become an accomplished swordsman under the tutelage of the legendary immortal, but he inherited Ashe's lust for immortal life. It's also where Henry first learned about headhunters.

      The crusader came to believe that they were abusing their gift and were wrongfully stealing immortality from others of their kind. The crusader found another crusade. And the headhunters of the world had made a far more dangerous enemy. Henry began hunting them down as the self-appointed protector of his fellow immortals.

      This hasn't stopped him from enjoying the gift God gave him, and unlike other students of Cleophon, his loves have reflected the chivalric times he was brought up in; in nine centuries, he has married five mortal women and stayed with them all until they died. He has loved and lost. How has he stood the pain ? Throughout the centuries, his actions have reflected his immortal life as a hunter of dangerous foes. He has been a bounty hunter and sword for hire in Europe. In the American midwest he was a US Marshall. Watcher accounts at the time recall how he teamed up with another legendary pupil of Cleophon, Frances Drummond, herself a bounty hunter, for their epic one year pursuit of the murderous immortal outlaws Theodo of Lombardy and his protege Jonah-Lee Hawkes, which ended in New Mexico with the first recorded double-Quickening (before the more famous Duncan MacLeod-Methos double-Quickening).
      In the 50s, Henry was a spycatcher for MI5, and more recently an agent of Interpol. Six months ago, he answered a call from his old teacher and relocated to Los Angeles. He has killed three dangerous immortals since, including a headhuter. North America seems to have its fair share; Henry is going to be busy.

      Chang

      From the records of the Tribunal
      Thursday April 6th 2002

      The following conversation, recorded O4.03, clued us in the origins of the elusive Chang who we discovered to be the adopted son of Ursula Katz, aka Kellistra.

      Cell phone ringing.

      "Hello"
      "Chang, please--?"
      "Yes, this is Chang. Who..."
      "Ah, my little one. How swiftly some forget."
      "Oh, hi Mother."
      "......" (Undecipherable)
      "Yes, Mother--"
      "--and how are you, sweetheart?"
      "I am fine."
      "I've work for you."
      "What ?"
      "You want me to (ancient Chinese dialect)...no, no...I'm hunting Anatellon, now...(Chinese dialect) .......(Undecipherable) I really can't now, you should understand..."
      "Chang, stop playing around and listen, I'm fast at losing patience. Or do you remember how it felt to have the flat of my hand come down on your--"
      (Irritated) " Oh sure... please, Mother, I'm a grown man !"
      "Not too old for me to tan your bottom, little boy."
      " I'm sorry !!" (Tiny voice, Chinese dialect).
      "You'd better be."
      " Please, forgive me."
      "Good. Now, listen. San Francisco. This Saturday, the Imperial Palace, presidential suite. Meet me there. By six in the evening, mind you. I've got errands for you to run.
      Oh, and can you bring me some dim sum from Wang Huang's ? The good shrimp ho tak ... you can't get decent Chinese anywhere in this city these days."
      (Subdued) "Yes, I'll come to San Francisco Saturday. It's not very far from San Diego."
      "Excellent! And mind your back, I don't want to have to deal with a passel of idiot Watchers and last time I visited you, you had seven of them assigned to you."
      (Angrily) "Watchers ? Someone is Watching me ?!"
      "You mean you haven't noticed? Oh my poor blind darling."
      (Speaks loudly in Chinese dialect). "OK, ok."
      "And shake those Watchers."
      <Heavy sigh> "If I find him, I'll..."
      "Them."
      "Oh, yes !"
      "And by the time I see your face, beloved, it had better have more respect on it than I hear now in your voice. Capisce ?"
      (Tiny voice) "Yes, Mother."
      "San Francisco. Saturday. Six p.m. Don't go to the wrong hotel this time."
      "No, I won't forget."
      "Better not."
      "Goodbye."
      "And bring the ho tak!"
      (Hangs his cell phone).

      The conversation was found on tape, in the backpack belonging to Tangerine Lee, Chang's Watcher who was found dead last night in a San Diego motel. She had been killed with a sharp object, a note was found in her breast pocket reading : "no more Watchers, please". A team of experienced Watchers will be located in San Francisco next Saturday, waiting for the meeting between Ursula Katz and Chang. We can only warn this team of the dangerous nature of those two immortals and wish them a safe assignment.

      The Ten Tigers of Canton were a group of ten Chinese martial artists from Guangdong (Canton), China who lived in the late Qing Dynasty (1644–1912). They were said to be the best fighters in southern China at the time. Much of their existence has been embellished by folk legends and stories passed down from generation to generation. All of them were immortals, mentored by Abbess Ng Mui to become supernatural heroes of China in the neverending war of good vs evil.While their stories were embellished, they were a squabbling, rag-tag band of misfits who got killed by the Game one by one until only two remained by the time of the Immortals War.
      Wong Ching-Hoh and his twin brother Yan-Lam fought the British forces during the Second Opium War in 1860, they became the two firt of the group to be killed by the Immortal Maiden.
      In 1885, Wong Kei-Ying joined the Black Flag Army during revolutionary war against the French Empire; he challenged a French soldier named François Marchette and lost his head.
      Lai Yan-chiu retired from the Game in Lhassa, Tibet, where he was confronted and killed by one of the group's major enemies, Immortal Maiden during the 1929 invasion of Tibet by China.
      Leung Kwan joined the Tongs by the early 20th century, become their most feared and trusted lieutnants, until he was killed in battle by May-Ling Shen in 1959
      So Chan disguised his activities as a vigilante behind a facade of permanent drunkenness and was targeted by huntress Krimkaj Chamlong in 1962
      So Hark-fu was one of the immortals kidnapped by Nikola Tesla's henchmen and subjected to painful electrical experiments before Tesla mercifully took his head in 1967. He had become a martial arts instructor, trying to keep the Ten Tigers legacy thriving.
      Chow Tai was last seen in Canada, a Lieutnant of the Canadian reserve army, training local guerillas to resist Japan Imperial army occupation. He was killed in 1944 by Matsuhiro Kanagawa.
      Chan Cheung-Tai, better known as Chang or Wayne Chang, became an amoral mercenary and assassin eventually joined the international group HISS before being invovled in the Immortals War. He died in 2012 against Kir Bulchyev of the Immortals of Mother Russia.
      Tam Chai-kwan was last seen in Cordoba, Spain, in 2012 where he fought his last battle against Radu Cozma.

      Amanda

      Amanda is a patient woman, known to bring the best out of any stray pre-immortal whose path she crosses. That's a pattern of hers. In the 12th century there were Kenny the saxon boy and a prostitute called Sarah. During Renaissance days, Isadora the daughter of an imperished family. In 1897 a silversmith. It's so like her. Or maybe is it she recognises in those defenseless immortals the famished, scarred pauper she used to be one thousand years ago.

      Nick Wolfe
      Recorded kills : None, not a player of the Game

      "What place is there for love when there can be only one", asked Nick Wolfe to Amanda after she shot him to death so he wouldn't die from slow-acting poison. Nick Wolfe didn't want to become immortal and resented Amanda for taking the decision in his place, thinking Evan Peyton's poison could have given him a permanent death. However, he isn't aware that immortality isn't necessarily triggered by a violent death. Aging, slow-acting poison, spoiled food do the trick too. But Nick rejected Amanda's love and support. Nick hates himself because he is in a world he cannot control : he cannot control the Game, he cannot control his Presence, warning immortals he is there. Nick cannot control his life anymore, and he tortures himself. Last time Amanda visited Nick in Vegas, the young immortal had harsh words toward his friend and sent her away; he shouldn't have done that because in the Game friends are a thing he may damn well need.

      • Thanks for those, my friend, much appreciated, as always!

        THE SIN EATER SAGA (cont...)

        Caleb Judge, aka The Sin Eater III

        Known aliases: Caleb Ambrose
        Notable characteristics: Psychopath; a taste for
        teenage girls; cannibal; religious fundamentalist;
        wears his former teacher's skull mask
        Weapon: One-handed custom broadsword

        Status
        Most recent base of operations: Oxford, England
        Occupation: Professor of Religious Studies,
        Oxford University, serial killer
        Prior occupations: Teacher
        Roster of Immortals Status: Deceased
        Date: 17 Oct 1734
        Place: Oxford
        Victor: Helen Bondeville, SIS
        Watcher: Robert Foster

        Background
        Original cultural affiliation: English
        Born: 1660, Newcastle, England
        First death: 1690; beaten to death by the relatives
        of a 14 year old girl student he had groomed and had
        sex with
        First teacher: Ambrose Valance. aka The Sin Eater II
        Known associates: Eli Bedloe, aka The Sin Eater IV
        Known past associates: Ambrose Valance

        First recorded sighting: 1690, Newcastle.
        Dug up from an unmarked grave by Ambrose who told him
        his own sins would be forgiven if he joined his crusade to
        punish other sinners

        The third Immortal to carry the name of The Sin Eater, Caleb was, like Ambrose Valance before him, the student and apprentice of the last Sin Eater. His teacher was killed by Alfgar of Winchester in 1693 and Caleb left a calling card a week later, a corpse in a tavern to let the world know that The Sin Eater's works would continue. To avoid Richeard of Mercia and his band of Immortals, Caleb fled to Scandinavia and continued his work there.
        It wasn't until 41 years later that he resurfaced in Oxford as a professor at the university where, at night, he would don the skull mask and stalk the streets punishing the sinners and leaving the mark of The Sin Eater on their mutilated bodies.
        At this time, Helen Bondeville was on an assignment for Richeard in Oxford and recognised the signs. It took her a month to locate Caleb and watched him from afar, waiting for him to make his move. She finally confronted him as he stalked his next would-be victim, challenging Caleb, who tried to run for a nearby cemetery, but she caught up to him. The fight was brief, Helen being a more skilled swordswoman, and she put an end to the third Sin Eater.

        • Women carrying sword in the 18th century, odd when you think about it. How did they hide them ?
          And a fourth Sin Eater!

          Say, have you seen the Three Musketeers series from the BBC ? A latino-American Athos and a Black Porthos. I loved it.
          Cheers!

            Roster of Immortals Status: Deceased
            Date: 4 June 1799
            Place: London
            Victor: Alfgar of Winchester, SIS
            Watcher: William Gilbert

            Background
            Original cultural affiliation: English
            Born: 1691, Bath, England
            First death: 1731; committed suicide after
            murdering his wife in a drunken rage
            First teacher: Caleb Judge, aka The Sin Eater III
            Known associates: Jeremiah Morse, aka The Sin
            Eater V
            Known past associates: Caleb Judge

            First recorded sighting: 1731, Bath.
            Found by Caleb and convinced he has been restored
            to life by God to seek redemption by punishing sinners

            Bedloe was the first of the Sin Eaters to abandon cannibalism but continued the tradition of preying on true sinners, or those he deemed true sinners. A remorseful wreck of a man who beat his beloved wife to death in a drunken rage for an imagined slight and slit his own wrists, he was mentored by Caleb Judge, who convinced him he could atone for his mistake and find redemption by following him and punishing sinners.
            Unlike the three previous Sin Eaters, Eli had no taste for human flesh, but he had a talent for hunting and killing his targets, often stalking them for weeks, and even befriending them, before donning the skull mask and carrying out the sentence. With Eli, it was less about mutilation and more about the punishment. So good was he that in one week in May 1799, five people fell victim to the Sin Eater.
            Once again the SIS were on the case and it was Alfgar of Winchester, responsible for killing the first Sin Eater, who made it his personal mission to hunt down his latest successor. Eli proved more elusive than his predecessors, killing six more mortals before Alfgar trapped him in his book shop and took his head. Despite the victory, Richeard of Mercia had the SIS remain vigilant, knowing that sooner or later, the skull mask would appear again.

            • Hello Apollo, thank you for the Middle East names.
              The Sin Eater : can you tweak around a story where one of the SIS is warped by the Quickening of one of the Sin Eaters and becomes possessed ? How many Sin Etars are there in total ?

              The Sin Eater saga reminds me a bit of the Halloween Franchise. Remember the first Halloween movie ? Brillant. The second one was good too. But what if the Mask killer had been several people infected by Myers 'madness over the years ?

              Cheers !

                immortals and kangaroos

                Kangaroo hunting is on the rise since the previous decade, more and more animals are killed for sports by trigger-happy yahoos, all led by their own private safary guide Samuel Ferguson, a Big Game hunter and player of the Game who has no troubler coming after defenceless animals. In the mid2000’s he was operating I nEastern Cape and was lucky he didn’t see the sword of Olapede Chukwu or the blade of Rodis coming down his neck. Elephants were killed for their ivory because of him. In rthe 1980’s gorillas for their pelt, in the 1990’s crocs. Now he is touring the Australian bush, but he better beware of local Immortals ready to killany Immortals harming the local fauna.

                The little kitten has claws ! Trained by Amanda, Ming-na Wen did very well on the immortal scene turning her small size into and advantage against other immortals, like Kenneth and Sarah MacLaughlin before her. No one dares scoff at her, or insult her, for this his a little hellion who will never let an adult-sized immortal humiliate or abuse her the way she was in her pre-immortal days. When Amanda took her in, the cat-burglar showed her good nature, because Kenny, Sarah, Ming-na remind her of the terrorized pauper she was when Xanthia of Melitus sheltered her centuries ago. A way for Amanda to repay the kindness Xanthia had to her.

                Warren Cochrane found some peace in the Northern Territories of Australia, the vast spaces remind him of Scotland; there he can forget all about his previous lives : the Jocobite rising, the immortals, his wife Nancy, the murder of Andrew Donelly. When he met former slaver Theodore Canot, Warren braced himself, prepared for what was coming. But Canot didn't want a duel, just to talk. The two immortals stroke a friendship, in which they discovered they weren't alone with their sins : Canot enslaved thousand of African men, women, children; Cochrane murdered his student.
                Thanks to Canot, Cochrane found some peace and was able to forgive himself. It was Canot's last act of goodness on this earth : Lucy Sparks took him out two years ago for the sake of the Game. It wasn't for revenge, it wasn't for his lands, it was because There Can Be Only One. Warren mourned his friend and kept on living. He feels better now, allowing himself to live.
                He will never forget Nancy, nor Andrew, but at last he is at peace.

                Hunter Cooper is the man who inspired the character of Quint to Steven Spielberg for his movie Shark, a rugged middle-aged man with deep hatred of sharks, hiding his fears behind a veneer of bad manners and scarcasm. He has a lot of tales to tell and some of them would raise hairs on your head : how he hunted a large white shark near the Australian coral reef only to face what seemed to be a megalodon, the extinct ancestor to common sharks.
                Exept this one was really big. Used to face prawning players of the Game, Cooper got the scare of his life when he faced a scarred, giant-sized Russian Immortal calling himself Victor Krueger, an Immortal radiating an intense malevolent energy. Cooper fled the scene, briefly hunted by the Russian. He was lucky the Kurgan wasn’t after him this day. Nowadays Hunter stays out of the Game, safge on theq high seas ibn company of the most dangerous predators in the animal kingdom.

                with Talia Bauer, furnishing Red Army Faction of
                Baader-Meinhof group with guns and explosives

                Hesse’s connection to the Red Army Faction has been found thanks to in depth investigation on Talia Bauer’s activities in Germany during the 1970’s. Hesse sold guns to the group led by the Baader-Semenhof couple and was killed during a shoot-out with police force. Talia was the one to mentored him and trained him with the sword, turning him in to a skilled fither. Hesse trains regulary, but surrounds himself with bodyguards to ward off challengers. I wonder how prawning Mad Bridget will take that one out.

                Found and mentored by Isadora who later killed
                Bridget’s husband, a towering juggernaut

                Most female Immortals unfortunely have a hard time in the Game. Not Bridget. She is more than happy to step up and play with the boys. Matter of fact, she hunts only male Immortals, believing that if there can be only one, it should be a woman. With her amazonian build, close-cropped hair and wielding a two handed zweihander, she is a headhunter with a chip the size of a small country on her shoulder. I feel bad for any man that gets on her bad side.

                Dyson and his entire crew

                Investigations on the death of Ulysses Dyson in 1849 was finally put to a definite end when Leo Kambaré of the Pouma Clan in New Caledonia proudly displayed the saber having belonged to Dyson in his home, stating to his friends that the saber belonged to a man his ancestors cook and ate. And he told the tale that when Dyson was killed, a sudden storm erupted and his ancestor was then possessed with the cunning, wit and courage of his fallen opponent. This tall tale naturally disguises the fact that an Immortal “savage” murdered and ate one of his kind. Fortunately for us, Leopold renounced his unnatural hungers a long time ago.

                Only recorded two kills in two hundred years, a connection with sailor Bevil Grenville (ex husband) and charisma to burn : I don’t know how many immortals she landed in her bed, maybe fifty or so, and I wagger some of them are buried in her plantation. She used to be a discreet player of the Game, that one, bidding her time, like a spider weaving her webb, waitign for the time of the Gathering. But somehow, she changed over time, retired from the Game and seldom welcome anyone in her bed. So unless she took a Quickening that did her in, she had a quick change of heart, I don’t really know.

                found him to be aware of the Game and wary of
                foreign immortals

                Maple White once spoke of a tribal leader of Polynesia she married in 1874, sparks between the two immortals were instantaneous and they spent a decade together before Maple rejoined the outside world. The years she spent with him were among her best, such calm away from the faaires of the mortal world and from other Immortals. In the 1970’s she briefly reunited with him durign the Maori protest movement and found her husband a changed man : the once peaceful immortal was angry and bitter, he no longer wanted to wait for the recognition of Maoris and was ready to fight like a devil. Maple felt sorry for him. The fre between herself and her ex was gone.

What a little fools : Lowai has been killing others of his kind for centuries, keeping their heads as mementos, he has a dozen, all reduced and mummmyfied. Quite a collection for an immortal staying out of the Game !

                • Thanks for completing the roster, my friend. Now i can fully update my own active/inactive records.

                  As for the Sin Eater, i have a story planned for the sixth Sin Eater that involves deception, a student of Allegra Chambers and former SIS member corrupted into doing his bidding, a vendetta by Chambers that will lead to the creation of another Sin Eater and a vow by Richeard of Mercia to hunt them to extinction. Oh and the eighth Sin Eater is still out there, waiting....

                  BTW Since i have no records of beheadings post-Immortals War, could you post the chronicles of the deceased Immortals killed since. I know it's too many to post in one go, so could you start with all the deaths up to the end of 2012? Thanks...

                  Cheers

                    Gustavo Nicolich can never attend the yearly gathering of the 1972 Andes flight survivors, who reunite in celebration of the lives they were given by God and in memory of their departed friends and relatives. If Gustavio appeared out of the blue, who would belive him, unless he passed himself as his own son ? But it would be like lying to his friends and would awaken too many painful memories, best forgotten.
                    So each year, he has a drink to their memory, on his own. He was sojourning in Lima, writign an update on his Peru travel guide when he was challenged and killed by David Bautista.

                    The Ten Tigers of Canton were a group of ten Chinese martial artists from Guangdong (Canton), China who lived in the late Qing Dynasty (1644–1912). They were said to be the best fighters in southern China at the time. Much of their existence has been embellished by folk legends and stories passed down from generation to generation. All of them were immortals, mentored by Abbess Ng Mui to become supernatural heroes of China in the neverending war of good vs evil.
                    While their stories were embellished, they were a squabbling, rag-tag band of misfits who got killed by the Game one by one
                    until only two remained by the time of the Immortals War.

                    Wong Ching-Hoh and his twin brother Yan-Lam fought the British forces during the Second Opium War in 1860, they became the two firt of the group to be killed by the Immortal Maiden.
                    In 1885, Wong Kei-Ying joined the Black Flag Army during revolutionary war against the French Empire; he challenged a French soldier named François Marchette and lost his head.
                    Lai Yan-chiu retired from the Game in Lhassa, Tibet, where he was confronted and killed by one of the group's major enemies,

                    Immortal Maiden during the 1929 invasion of Tibet by China.
                    Leung Kwan joined the Tongs by the early 20th century, become their most feared and trusted lieutnants, until he was killed in battle by May-Ling Shen in 1959
                    So Chan disguised his activities as a vigilante behind a facade of permanent drunkenness and was targeted by huntress Krimkaj Chamlong in 1962
                    So Hark-fu was one of the immortals kidnapped by Nikola Tesla's henchmen and subjected to painful electrical experiments before Tesla mercifully took his head in 1967. He had become a martial arts instructor, trying to keep the Ten Tigers legacy thriving.
                    Chow Tai was last seen in Canada, a Lieutnant of the Canadian reserve army, training local guerillas to resist Japan Imperial army occupation. He was killed in 1944 by Matsuhiro Kanagawa.
                    Chan Cheung-Tai, better known as Chang or Wayne Chang, became an amoral mercenary and assassin eventually joined the international group HISS before being invovled in the Immortals War. He died in 2012 against Kir Bulchyev of the Immortals of Mother Russia.
                    Tam Chai-kwan was last seen in Cordoba, Spain, in 2012 where he fought his last battle against Radu Cozma.

                    Original cultural affiliation : Canadian
                    Born : 1610, Avalon Colony Newfoundland
                    First death : 1628, Indian attack on Avalon

                    Found and mentored by Ava Delate

                    The Monroe family makes up a strange trio of immortals : looking at them, one would thing the youngest of them is Luke given his aparent age when in truth is the oldest. Luke was born in modern-day Newfoundland when the first settles set foot on the North American continent. Luke was among them, a pre-immortal child who didn't life beyond his teenage years when his hometwon was attacked by a tribe of indians, its population massacred with Luke waking up to find himself among his friends and family taken away from him. Luke thought he had survived to tale the tale and wandered for weeks until he arrived to Acadia where he met Ava Delate who taught him of his immortality.

                    Luke spent the next ten years in Nova Scotia maturing into a fine immortal, honing his carpentry skills and turning into a fine swordsman until he found two young children - two girls - orphaned after their parents died in a freak accident. Luke adopted those girls, Annabelle and Angelica, but as sisters rather than daughters, feeling that someday they would outgrow him - leading the three of them into an awkward situation. And also, he didn't feel confident enough to take on the role of a father.

                    When Annabelle and Angelica grew old enough, Luke told them his secret and also of the life that awaited them. He gave them e choice : grow old naturally, or stage a First Death at their prime, knowing that the youngest they were, the more chances they had of surviving an attack from an agressive immortal.

                    Luke's sisters said yes and drank a form of painless poison that gently put them to sleep. Then they were reborn, immortals, and so started the ballad of the Monroe Family who spent two centuries living in Canada and then on the Pacific Northwest, hiring themselves as carpenters and cooks, and all manners of trades that societal changes could allow them.

                    • Thanks for the chronicles from 2012, my friend.

                      Meanwhile,

                      The SIN EATER saga continues:

                      Date: 29 Aug 1853
                      Place: Liverpool
                      Victor: Raimond d'Amboise, SIS
                      Watcher: Robert Hopkins

                      Background
                      Original cultural affiliation: English
                      Born: 1742, Norfolk, England
                      First death: 1793; parish rector killed by husband
                      of female congregation member he seduced
                      First teacher: Eli Bedloe, The Sin Eater IV
                      Known associates: Absalom Finch, The Sin Eater VI
                      Known past associates: Eli Bedloe

                      First recorded sighting: 1794, Norfolk
                      Found by Eli drowning his sorrows in a tavern, convinced
                      him he was restored to life to atone for his sins

                      When eight bodies showed up in Liverpool over four weeks in August 1853 with marks gouged into their flesh in Latin, Richeard of Mercia recognised the signature of the Sin Eater and knew another Immortal had taken up the skull mask. Letters were sent to the local constabulary claiming responsibility for the murders and that the Sin Eater had chosen the city because it was a hotbed of "sin and decadence".

                      At this time, Raimond d'Amboise was based in the city and immediately set to the task of tracking the Sin Eater down. Four more bodies were found at the dockyards over two weeks and d'Amboise, posing as an Inspector from Manchester, joined the police investigation and was soon able to get on the trail of the Sin Eater, but three more victims were claimed before d'Amboise found the Sin Eater's lair in an abandoned rectory, finally confronting Jeremiah Morse, at this time known as Father Julian Miller. Morse, like a cornered rat, fought like a demon, but d'Amboise soon brought him to his knees and struck off his head.

                      Knowing there is always another apprentice, d'Amboise scoured the city, but the successor had already eluded him, little realising at the time that the next Immortal to wear the skull mask would be the most dangerous and devious of all of them.

                      Background
                      Original cultural affiliation: English
                      Born: 1797, Blackburn, Lancashire, England
                      First death: 1819; Blanketeer killed during the Peterloo
                      Massacre, St Peter's Field, Manchester
                      First teacher: Allegra Chambers, SIS
                      Known associates: Allegra Chambers, SIS Immortals
                      Known past associates: None

                      First recorded sighting: 1819, Manchester
                      Found and mentored by Allegra Chambers, at this time
                      observing the march on behalf of the SIS who helped
                      orchestrate it. He was later recruited into the SIS.

                      Baxter's impulsiveness and recklessness was always his greatest weakness. Despite everything Allegra tried to teach him, he was always a loose cannon in the ranks of the SIS. For years after she took him under her wing, Baxter had a crush on Allegra but she always kept him at arm's length. At some point in his 139 years though, the two did sleep together, although it meant more to him than it did to Allegra, who has after all, slept with hundreds of men in her three hundred years. It was clear he still held some resentment toward her; perfect fodder for Absalom Finch, the sixth Sin Eater, the most manipulative and brilliant of all his predecessors.

                      When the killings began in the summer of 1936, the SIS recognised the handiwork of the Sin Eater. Richeard of Mercia had all of the SIS hunting for the newest incarnation, but he was more elusive than they had thought. A chess grandmaster in his pre-immortal life and a psychologist, he knew how to strategize and his charismatic personality would prove to be decisive.

                      Allegra and Thomas picked up a trail after another murder in the East End, but while Allegra wanted to inform Richeard and the others, her hot-headed student was determined to make a name for himself and went off hunting for Finch himself.

                      Unknown to Allegra, he walked into a trap laid by Finch and his apprentice Keaton Bartlett. He was captured and spent the next six weeks being tortured and brainwashed by Finch while Allegra and the other SIS Immortals turned London upside down searching for their missing comrade. Finch convinced Thomas that Allegra and the SIS were using him, that they were responsible for his crimes and he was merely a scapegoat so Richeard and his cohorts could gain political capital. Finch's dominant personality easily subsumed that of Thomas Baxter.

                      Thomas was released and when Allegra found him wandering in Hyde Park in the middle of the night, he accused her of toying with him and using him and the SIS of betraying him. Despite Allegra's pleas, Thomas drew his sword and attacked her. Unable to reason with him, Allegra was forced to defend herself and in the end had no choice but to take his head. She sobbed as the Quickening filled her.

                      Grief stricken and consumed by rage, she swore to avenge his death by hunting down and killing the Sin Eater without mercy.

                      • Good story around Allegra and her student. Her mistake was sleeping with him and underestimating how fragile he was. And Allegra is left with her guilt.

                        Three Immortals in the chronicles whose origins are set in the War of the Roses, a bit too coincidental...

                        • Yes, unfortunately, Thomas had no idea that for someone like Allegra who'd lived for three centuries, sex would just be sex. He had an old fashioned idea of what intimacy meant for women, not realising that many women, like men, can have sex just for fun without it having to mean anything. It's especially true for Immortal women.

                          In the meantime, here are more names for you, all from the 8th century:

                          Bahjat of Tahert (Imamate of Tahert) - male
                          Jabr of Safi (Barghawara Confederacy) - male
                          Marid of Idrisid - male
                          Rahul of Sarir - male
                          Smerdis of Khwarezm - male

                          Jilla of Shule - female
                          Mahnaz of Bilad al-Sham - female
                          Sahar of Dimashq - female

                          Also, are these adjustments okay?

                          • Brillant ! I love those new origins stories for Preston and Ludlow, good historical research.

No one knows who trained Raphael after his First Death but he proved to be competent with a sword against self-righteous Steven Keane during the revolt against the government of Papua; the fight was Inconclusive, Raphael choosing to let Keane go, telling him war was over. The Papuan immortal led an unassuming life until 2013 when his immortality was found by his fellow villagers. Their reaction was a swift as it was merciless: they butchered him and decapitated him.
                            Raphael expected his death would come from a fellow immortal, but not from the people he knew for the past two decades.

                            destroyed his culture, hunted and killed by the SIS

                            The Tasmanian Devil tried to put the fire to the Tower of London after setting fires in Carnaby Street, Regency Park and Picadilly, touching to the heart of the former British Empire : London. The SIS investigated the matter after two dozen civilians were killed in the space of three months, only to found the serial arsonist was himself a former victim of Britain’s hegemony on a remote part of the world. Although undestanting of the Parlewar people suffering, the SIS immortals couldn’t condone the loss of civilians and hunted John Irons to his lair. After a brief battle, Eadwulf took the devil out but couldn’t bring himself to kill him, after all it was England’s fault if he was driven by such rage. Instead, he was sent ot SeanBurn’s Black Friar’s asylum for treatment.

                            Being a mother myself I can understand how painful it must be for an immortal woman to not be able to carry her own chidren, to see them grow, to nurture them with love. Although there is quite a number of immortal women who had success with raising children they adopted. Loretta Lynn gave in the dark side of motherhood : she raised the children she adopted not to see them happy, but to sasiate herself with the 'joys' of being a miother. She turned motherhood into a travesty, a macabre farce. She adopted dozens of pre-immortal children from across the world and before they became too difficult to control, when they reached puberty.. she murdered them and abandoned them. Leaving scores of pubescent kids to the mercy of adult immortals who killed them or exploited them. I know none of those children who evolved into healthy and productive citizens. I am glad the madwoman is locked up indefinitely, but sometimes if I had the strenght, I would bring justice to the unfortunates whose lives she destroyed.

                            Loretta Lynn, the killer of immortal children, has been foud by the Secret Immortals Society. Unfortunately, Loretta turned out more violent thant we expected and lashed out at Helen Bondeville of the SIS who had no choice but to ‘sanction’ the madwoman indifinitely.

                            From the records of the Tribunal :

                            In the past, Father Riley has been dubbed "cheap copy of Darius", nothing could be farther from the truth. Well, it is true that like Darius he was a great warrior who became a man of peace after experiencing an epiphany, but those were different circumstances : Darius received a light Quickening, Riley took an oath to serve God and never hurt innocent lives again; Darius lived a sheltered life on holy grounds, Riley tavelled often across the globe, doing his best to teach peaceul ways of living to tormented souls, both mortals and immortals. Darius did cast away his sword, Riley didn't because he understands a man of peace still needs the arts of war in times of need. Another difference : Darius is resting forever at the bottom of the Seine in Paris, turned into a handful of ashes; Riley is enjoying a good life in Dublin among the immortal community, doing his berst to quell the tensions existing between the Catholics
                            and Proddies of Dublin.

                            The story of Jennifer reminds me of an old episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in which the show's main protagonist his bitten by a demon which inject her a fluid that messes her mind hu completely. She finds herself in a psychiatric ward where doctors try to explin to her that the nightmarish and unplausible world of Sunnydale is adelluded fantasy her mid produced after she was raped. The episodes offers the possibility that the entire show is the fantasy of crazed Buffy Summers.After having been raped, killed and later mentored by her fantasy writer father, Jennifer became a self-delluded heroin living in a fatasy world where she is the heroin and the immortals arond her are villains she must kill. She became over the years an extremly skilled assassin, a superb hand-to-hand combatant and expert at computer hacking in her search for 'immortal villains' to kill. She killed innocent mortals on fourteen occasions and was nearly killed by actual players of the Game. Dangerous to others, to herself and to the immortals' anonimity she has been locked in Black Friar for the better part of ten years.

                            The chronicle of Alfgar of Winchester and his companion Jennifer De Chaillot ends with a bullet fired from Raymond d’Amboise's rifle at the top of a building in Greater London, where the two immortal killers lived in seclusion. Was it the itnent of Alfgar to take revenge on the Secret Immortals Society ? We shall never know. The SIS took no chance on Alfgar, not wantign the risk of beign infected with his Dark Quickening. As for Jennifer De Chaillot, she had begun stalking the streets, killing off people in the mistaken notion they were demons of some kind coming after her head. The unfortunate Jennifer suffered from 'Bonnie & Clyde Syndrom', also known as Hybristophilia, a paraphilia in which sexual arousal, facilitation, and attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent upon being with a partner known to have committed an outrage, cheating, lying, known infidelities or crime, such as rape, murder, or armed
                            robbery. Jennifer developped a strong attachment to Alfgar during their time together in Black Friar and Alfgar made good use of it, enjoying the notion of an immortal girl "in love" with him. Not unlike Buffy Summers in love with a vampire serial killer.
                            Eventually, Alfgar got tired of her and disposed of her immortal-style, her beheaded body to be found in the Thames by mortals, thus

                            Original cultural affiliation: Saxon
                            Born: 784, Winchester, Kingdom of Wessex,
                            Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy, England

                            With Richeard of Mercia and Eadwulf, fighting the
                            Normans, cross-identified as Richeard‘s student

                            Alfgar was once a good man, a great warrior, and a former member of the Secret Immortals Society.
                            He fought in countless battles, always on the side of what he thought was right, and fought bravely any Immortals that challenged him, even though he was not interested in the Game.
                            Then something happened. So many Immortals tired of the endless wars and bloodshed, so many sought solitude on Holy Ground. The Saxon was present at the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp in 1944. The horrors he witnessed did intense damage to his psyche : his mind snapped. He saw what degradations mortal men could inflict on each other, the genocide of the Jews was the culmination of all the torment and slaughter he had seen and inflicted upon others. He hunted the murdereous Coronus of Persia who was commanding Dachau and had fled as the American troops were arriving; Alfgar foudn the Persian immortalon the outskirts of Vienna in his home where he was preparing his departure from Europe to South America. After killing Coronus, Alfgar underwent a sudden transformation in character, a rare occurence dubbed 'Dark Quickening' in immortal circles and among Watchers. His mind snapped and he became a dark parody of his own self. For him, in his new, twisted mind, mortal life became cheap - mortals no longer deserved to live; the manner of their deaths fascinated him, he became obsessed. Alfgar transformed from heroic warrior to sadistic serial killer, finding new and imaginative ways to inflict pain and death on mortals. He left Europe in 1945 and relocated to New York and began his new life as a serial killer, snatching people off the streets, torturing them to death, and then dismembering
                            and dumping their bodies.
                            From 1946 to 1954, he killed fourteen mortals. When word reached the SIS of what Alfgar was doing, Richeard of Mercia and Raimond d'Amboise hunted him down. Alfgar fought Richeard and would have lost his head, but he escaped by diving into the Hudson River.
                            He reaapeared in Chicago in 1965 as a doctor and this time was found by the Combined Immortals of America who captured the madman and sent him over to the British isles under guard. Richeard of Mercia decided to hand him over to Sean Burns for treatment, in the hope of ridding him from his madness and to avoid being infected with the Dark Quickening. To no avail. Alfgar still resides at Black Friar to this day, one of the more dangerous elements of Sean Burns' proteges.

                            • Thanks for the 2013 chronicles, my friend. I have to see i really enjoyed the story of the Black Friar breakout and the final fate of Alfgar of Winchester. A tragic end for one of the founders of the SIS alongside Richeard of Mercia. Also loved the story of Andrew McNair and Robert Henderson and the Dark Quickening.

                              • Three of the Eigth century male names you gave me are actually Moroccan, not Middle Eastern, but they actually allow to give richer backgroundson old characters.
                                Here is an update on a past chronicle of Xavier St. Cloud.

                                Hunted and killed by Xavier St.Cloud

                                From the Records of the Tribunal :

                                During the mid-17th century, Xavier St.Cloud was followed on the Northern coast of Africa from Morocco to Algeria where he challenged and killed immortal poet Hamza el-Kahir in 1653. Two months before, he killed three immortals from Tahert in such a savage way that words from their wanton murder came to the ears of Hamza who spent the next three years in fear of the Moorish headhunter.
                                Those immortals were Tarik ibn Ziad and his two immortal wives, Leila ibn Falla and Karima of Algiers. Whatever bits of information we could gather about them, from Xavier's chronicle and mortal records from 17th century Algeria, give us a sparse chronicle for the trio of husband and wives.
                                Tarik ibn Ziad was a wealthy merchant of Tahert, an important member of the community who gave to the poor, helped build bridges and houses and exported wine and oil to the four corners of Algeria. He met his first wife, Leila ibn Falla in 1647 and married Karima after finding her 1652 during a business venture in Algiers. The two women were treated like mortal Arab women by their husbands : barely allowed to go out, dressing with veils when out of their house, speaking to no other men than Tarik and never allowed to touch a sword let alone to carry one. Tarik kept his women with a short leash, relishing the pleasure of having two immortal wives forever, probably having convinced them that he was the ony one who could protect them from headhunters.
                                When Xavier St.Cloud rode into town, he made sure to destroy Tarik's little world and to put and end to his fantasy.
                                He attacked Tarik with the rage burning inside of him, mocking his incompetence with a sword and scoffing at Karima and Leila, and killed him - he was still in his prime at this time, not yet the coward he would be known as by the turn of the 19th century. When Xavier was done savoring Tarik's Quickening, he hunted his widows who had started running and caught them on the road from Tahert

                                Few datas have been collected about Samman Sha’ban between the 8th century and the 18th century, if only that he seem to be a serious player of the Game who, in 1745, sought the legendary Brian Cullen whom he heard was trying to rest in Tunisia, tired of the the incessant wars between immortals. Samman didn’t care about Cullen’s state of mind, he wanted to play. Cullen first turned him down, but Samman started targeting Cullen’s friends, his lovers and went so far as burning his house down. Cullen finally took hios sword and fought again, nearly losing the fight. In the end, Brian prevailed but you could see in his eye how he hated the Banu immortal for the way he destroyed his tranquility in Tunis.

                                  The seventh Sin Eater proved to be merely a tool, a distraction, used by his predecessor to hoodwink Richeard of Mercia and the SIS to enable Absalom Finch to escape their clutches. After the tragic events orchestrated by Finch in which SIS member Allegra Chambers was forced to kill her own former student and fellow SIS Immortal Thomas Baxter, the sixth Sin Eater knew Allegra and her cohorts would leave no stone unturned to hunt him down, especially the revenge-seeking Allegra. So Finch used his devoted apprentice Keaton Bartlett as a decoy, sending him to Manchester with a replica mask and the Sin Eater name to draw off the SIS.

                                  When Bartlett began killing there, Allegra was determined to be the one to take his head, but Richeard of Mercia was concerned that her emotions would cloud her judgement and make her vulnerable to the Sin Eater's machinations - none of them were aware that Finch had already slipped away to Europe and the Sin Eater they were hunting was just his devoted apprentice.

                                  While Eadwulf was sent by Richeard to hunt him down, Allegra was ordered to stand down, a decision she was furious with. However, once Eadwulf was easily able to track Bartlett to his lair and take his head, Allegra suspected that it had been too easy. Starting her own investigation, she soon discovered the true identity of Bartlett's master and, against the orders of Richeard of Mercia, she left England for France to hunt him down.

                                  The Second World War would interrupt her personal vendetta and bring her back into the SIS fold, although she made it clear to Richeard that when Finch resurfaced, she would be the one to end him and nothing he could do would stop her.

                                  • Good story with the Sin Eater tool. Great! Karolina Olin is out there somewhere. The people in her head are debating the pros and cons of participating In the Gathering or lying low for a few decades. They are such a crazy bunch! LOL

                                    Karolina Olin's origins was disclosed to Dr. Carolyn Mortimer by another persona of Karolina : Karol Olinsky who was her foster dad and a pedophile who raped her from infancy until she was fifteen or sixteen. Then he murdered her to keep her as his plaything forever. A decade later, "Karolina" killed her tormentor herself, hacked him into bits and decapitated him. The ensuing Quickening overloaded and she lived with her stepdad tormenting her from the grave, living in her mind. She turned crazy and has been killing Immortals ever since with each Quickening giving her an added persona. She now has twenty-four different ones, including eight dominants.
                                    The Immortals she kills protect her from her tormentor in some way... complicated to describe but let's say they keep him silent and away I nthe darkest recesses of her fractured mind. I feel sorry for "Karolina", I hope someday she will find a way to deliver herself from her torments.

                                    the Game and how Europeans live through Immortal life

                                    Tiresa Toleafoa was digusted by the violence of the Game, by the decapitation she was forced to witness and in awe before the power of the Quickening, the gigantic fireworks which followed the passing of Klaus Jung’s Quickening in the body of her Immortal friend Mondo. To her life should be more than senseless violence and killings and Immortal life more than just the Game and rules to live by. She si a free spirit and won’t have it any other way. But can she truly spend the coming 20th century alone on the Samoas and not expect another Immortal to come after her pretty head ? There will be others and the 20th century promises to become more and more violent. There are talks that the fabled Gatherign may take place one century from now. What will become of Tiresa then ? Assuming she lives to see the the final days of the Gathering.

                                    • Good job with the White Knights of Amerika. There are all kinds of Immortals out there, not just those who believe mortals are inferior, but obviously the racist ones too, and they all end up the same way in the end: dead.

                                      Meanwhile,

                                      THE SIN EATER SAGA (Cont.)

                                      From: Justin Grieves, Supervisor, Secret Immortals Society Watcher Team
                                      To: Sir Martin Huw Loundes, Chief Archivist
                                      Re: Radoslaw Bujak, Bruno Falck, Doeyen Coolssens

                                      For forty years or so the above mentioned Immortals were aberrations in our chronicles; young Immortals who, for unknown reasons, despite being mentored by what we would deem as "good" Immortals, committed heinous acts and were themselves then killed by other decent Immortals, one was even slain by his own teacher. Some Watcher scholars speculated that they had all encountered some previously unidentified ancient Immortal powerful enough to corrupt them. He/she had even been dubbed "the Corruptor" in the archives.

                                      Now, however, we have been able to positively identify "The Corruptor" as Absalom Finch, the sixth Sin Eater. A talented psychiatrist before he became immortal, Finch had already proved his talent for manipulating vulnerable minds during the Thomas Baxter Incident of 1936.

                                      Following information provided by Richeard of Mercia and Allegra Chambers concerning the movements of Finch after the Second World War, we can now update the chronicles of the three unfortunate Immortals.

                                      TO BE CONTINUED.

                                      BTW Could you post the Immortals killed in 2014?

                                        Nice comments on the White Knights, couldn't agree more.

                                        raped her along with her fellow village women

                                        Ataui had a revenge to take in the Game, against men, against the brutality of Immortals, if only so to rid herself from the shame she suffered when she was being raped by Apolo Obote and his men in 1994. So she played the Game, she hunted those of her kind, picking the best ones and acquiring the powershe needed to face the man who still tormented her in her nightmares. She killed six that we know of but that wasn’t enough to face Apolo Obote who was the man to take her out. He didn’t even remember having raped her.

                                        In the Game, the first victim is innocence, the innocence of children killed too soon, reborn to hunt or be hunted. Kenneth, Bossart, the Coyoteros are prime example of it as is Pilar Gonçalves from England who was taught by Jade el-Amin to sue her innocent features as an advantage. Jade and Amanda were similar in all things, including the manner they mentored youg immortals. Trickery, deceit, lies, murder. Ever since her first death, Pilar has been killing her fair shaire of immortals, a lot of them wanting to use her, but some who weren’t evil. Still she killed, little by little becoming like Kenneth. Her last quarry was Harry Houdini the master escapist who saw clearly through her game and wasn’t above killing an immortal woman hiding behind the face of an innocent child.

                                        A born survivor, Brewster always seems to come out on top, switching sides when things look bad. During WWII in Europe, he sold information and black market goods to the Nazis, until he found himself a target of the shadowy SIS, then he decided it would be better to survive the war with his head on his shoulders than go up against "those scary dudes" of the SIS.
                                        Working for Haas, identifying runaway Jews, discovered by the SIS, and challenged by Raimond d'Amboise, saved his own skin by offering to become a double agent. Brewser spent the rest of the war working for the SIS and lining his own pockets. During the Immortals War, Brewser was on the side of the SIS and of Kellistra's army, doing his best to find informations on Memnet-Ra(s agents in exchange for keeping his head after the war ended.
                                        Cain was recently posing as a fashion designer in Milan, a rich socialite on whom Ravenwood was keeping an eye until he tried to con Gabriel Piton, a heartless man even less merciful when it comes to confronting immortals trying to stealth women or valuables from him.

                                          Once thought killed by Alexi Garnoff in 1357, Vitalya Lobanova re-appeared alive and well in Chicago, debuking child-sex rings, mercilessly killing those prowning on children and teens, killing pimps and clients and is suspcted of a rash of killings in Atlanta, GR, in recent years. Naturally, her killings have alerted the FBI whose best agents are investigatign her actions but this isn’t a girl who can be caught easily, not when she has evaded the attentions of thqe SIS in Lodnon durign cold war years when she was operating as the mysterious “Siberian She-Wolf”, a masked spy and killer taking on British Inteeligence operatives. She would have given a hard time to James Bond himself !

                                          The old sea wolf got to a good woman, who didn’t play the Game but still kept her basket-hilted claymore over the fireplace in her home. When asked, she told it came from her dearly departed husband and said nothing more. She couldn’t disclose the secrets of the saber and of her immortality to mortals, even those she chose to marry in one century of life. Even they suspected something when she didn’t age or never bore them children. She had a good life as the captain’s woman in the 1690’s up until the age of piracy waned and pirates became government-sponsored corsairs. Then she retired from the sea life and settled in Ecuador, hopping for a little peace and quiet. But the Game never leave anyone in peace for long.

                                          Jimi Korusai is one of the few lucky Immortals who survived a confrontation against Damon Case and when we read the 1830 chronicle it looks like Damon Case was the lucky one because Korusai was a savage warrior who nearly put Case to pieces with his tribal spear, savaging him to death like a cat does a mouse.
                                          Case escaped in the nick of time thanks to mortals inteference and was free to kill Immortals another day while Korusai stood watch on his islands for another hundred and forty years. Then in 1978 he joined the Fijian Peacekeeping corps in Lebanon – the rock grew legs – where he lost his head agaisnt Khalida Al Najiran, a woman even more savage in the Game than he ever was when he still had his fire burning in him.
                                          Korusai only played the Game in the defense of his homeland, against Immortal invaders and when he finally decided to travel abroad his luck ran out. The Game is the russian roulette of the Immortal world.

                                          Cartographer who never had the time to train her

                                          Andrew Kaspis (aka Cassivellaunus) made the travel to Guam in 1995 because he wanted to find out wether the Chamorro Immortal woman he met in 1521 had survived all those centuries and didn’t find her. He didn’t expect her to have lived this long but had heard of Simon de Miranda giving her decent tutoring in 1667 and howSimon fell in love with the Micronesian Immortal who had such vitality in her. Mercedes lived a long, fruitful life until 1941 when the Japanese caught Mariana Island durign the war in the Pacific and Immortal Toshio Noda chalenged Mercedes to a fight. Mercedes was a superb hand to hand combattant and was good with a sword too, but she didn’t have the fire it takes to survive in the Game, while Toshio did, his loyalty to the Emperor of Japan being his incentive to challenge and kill those of his kind.
                                          The woman who once was the goddess of Guam did the error insular Immortals make too often, keeping themselves apart from the rest of the world, not growing up, learning from their mistakes, not seeking out different teachers with different styles of fighting. And that was her downfall.

                                            From the private diary of Joe Dawson :
                                            April-May 1974

                                            My assignment has been through a lot in four centuries of warfare and playing the Game, I have studied his life and I still cannot fathom the existence of those beings. Immortals ! He is going to live forever while I will grow old and die, stuck in a wheelchair, but I cannot afford to be bitter. The shrinks at Watcher Academy told me I was given a second chance in life and so did Ian Bancroft. To observe and to record withouth interfering and the more I know Roy Ferrer (aka Roldan Ferreira), the more I like this guy. He is a godsend, a lot of us vets would go crazy without him. Only he can alleviate the pain we all feel from out tour of duty in ‘Nam. Damn war ! I write all this as part of my therapy, as I na would say ‘write what you know’. So this is ‘off the record’, so to speak. Roldan was mentored by Sean Burns, one of the few Immortals who created modern psychology and brought some good to the world. Roy took after him and has been treating homeless people and war veterans since the days of American Civil War; one century later he runs a shelter in Chicago (my hometown ! I am blessed).

                                            ***************

                                            Recently Roy has been taking care of one of his kind, an Immortal girl by name of Huan Mulan pretending to be a runaway, a abused girl in need of help. According to her chronicle that’s her M.O She comes to her man in tears, in need of help, and when the time is right, whack ! Another Immortal bites the dust. I am told there are others like her, playing the Game by cheating : the Coyoteros in South America, Kenneth the Saxon boy, the Von Arlon children from Germany…

                                            ****************

                                            Should I warn Roy ? Of course! But that would be interfering, that would be telling him my secret as a Watcher and a lot of Immortals are paranoid about their secrecy. All this, and no slap on the wrist for blabbermouthed Watchers : a bullet through the brain ends the matter quickly.
                                            And yet, Roy may not have long to live with Huan Mulan, one week at most. He has faced others of his kind in the past, there was that Viking in Norway (wasn’t it Kanwulf ?), the seducing Callestina who nearly did him in; the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run in 1932. Each time he kept his cool and his head.
                                            His weakness is with children, even Immortal ones, he cannot help but want to help them, to heal their hurts. Forgetting that Immortal children aren’t children anymore… had he met Kenenth and survived he would be more cautious. In the three years I have been watching him I could see that he isn’t a fool, but kids remind him of the fatherhood he can never hope to experience because mortal loved ones are easy targets in the Game, cannon-fodder for Immortals like Slan Quince or Horvan Kant.

                                            **************

                                            So there I am : if I keep mum, Roy likely dies because Huan Mulan is a merciless predator. If I speak, his world changes and he finally finds out about Watchers and mine ends because the Watcher Tribune won’t take kindly to my interference. Unless I find a way to remove Huan’s presence from the shelter.
                                            And that’s interferign too. Damn that vow !!

                                            *************

                                            My work with other vets has been keeping me busy of late, I am doing some counselling too, listening to the horror stories we share, trying to help alleviate the pain my brothers in arms feel. We are all of a kind here, survivors. That’s the one thing we have in common. I have a sergeant there who was at My Lay and cannot forgive himself for the pat in took in the day of rape and killing that happened in 1968, and all the counselling in the world cannot rid him of his torment. There is another one, even more psyched up, who collected ears from P.OW he kept around his neck, and then the one who was in love with a prostitute from Bien Hoa and found her torn up body after a night of bombings. Helping them is helping me too, a great deal and Roy brings a lot to us, he means a lot to all of us. Not interfering is breaking my heart because Huan Mulan is truly close to him and now Roy behaves with her as a favorite uncle. I am on a deadline.

                                            *********

                                            They say that not taking a decision is already taking a decision. Huan Mulan is gone, she left the shelter last night in the middle of a violent freak storm which caused a massive power outage in th shelter. Roy is dead.
                                            The ears-collector freak found him in the basement, decapitated, it looked like a cyclone had destroyed the furnitures and medical paraphernalia we have in stock. My heart is broken and I hate myself.
                                            Had I taken a risk… Roy would live, maybe he would have accepted me as I am – his Watcher – and he would have taken out a vicious player of the Game out of the Immortal world.

                                            ***********

                                            I spoke about my feelings with Ian and with the Academy shrink. They say what I feel is normal, usual.
                                            We all get attached to our assignments, that’s part of the job. Ian confessed that he truly loves the Immortal monk he is asigned to – Darius – and that he hopes to God that Darius stays forever on Holy Grounds, even as unlikely as it sounds because Immortals need to move constantly to survive, like sharks.
                                            When his previous Immortal died, it was a shock to him but Immortals do play the Game and put themselves at risk constantly. I angrily retorted that sometimes in life, we have to do more than just watch !
                                            Ian smiled at me and promised me a risk-free assignment, a blues singer since I am into jazz and blues, which naturally picked my interest.
                                            Before he left me, Ian warned me agaisnt the Watcher Tribunal’s death penaly and that if I was ever to break my vow of non-interference, I’d better have a good excuse…

                                            • Good chronicles again, my friend. I especially liked the changes you've made to Roy Ferrer. A good choice.

                                              Meanwhile, THE SIN EATER SAGA continues with the first of the three False Sin Eaters, young Immortals corrupted by Absalom Finch into doing his will, while he hid in the shadows.

                                              I'd like your help fleshing them out if you could. I need a victor (preferably a good Immortal) stopping a heinous killer; a first teacher, and a short write-up from the pov of the victor's Watcher, without mentioning Finch since his involvement was not known at this time. Thanks.

                                                • From my own sense of humor !
                                                  Apollo : three bogus Sin Eaters make way too many Sin Eaters where the Sin Eater saga is concerned, IMO.
                                                  Glad you liked Roy Ferrer.

                                                  Cheers !

                                                  • Okay, mate. Make it two. I was having a hard time developing the third anyway.
                                                    Delete Doeyen Coolssens, if you would please. I still have an idea in mind for Bruno Falck.
