  • Thanks for the latest posting, my friend. Feel free to post all my chronicles and our co-created chronicles over on the other site.

    Meanwhile, the HELLFIRE CLUB/SIS SAGA continues:

    Nicholas Kedgick

    Known aliases: Nicolas Emory (birth name)

    Born: 1188, Westminster, Kingdom of England
    First death: 1222; Gang leader hanged as a ring-leader
    following riots after London defeats Westminster in an
    annual wrestling contest
    First teacher: Aldrich Monk

    First recorded sighting: 1222, Westminster.
    Dug from unmarked grave by Monk and recruited
    into his Brotherhood

    By the 1220s, Aldrich Monk and Evangeline Black had grudgingly agreed to work together with Sampson Brass and his protégé Honoria Dedlock as the Brimstone Brotherhood to establish their own underground empire. At the time Monk mentored Emory, aka Nicholas Kedgick, into the Brotherhood, the organisation was already running a rigged gambling operation in many towns and cities in England, while Monk ran the Brotherhood from a hidden base in London under the alias of The Sparrow to avoid the attentions of Richeard of Mercia and his cohorts.

    • Good update on Nicholas Kedgick, thanks.


      Bouchra Ouaziz

      The Fantasia events celebrate North African tradition of a close relationship with masculinity, horses and warfare, they are headed by Immortal Bouchra Ouaziz, a centuries old woman who was taught the ways of the Game by an European Immortal named Anne DeBrabant. Bouchra earned the respect of Kassim ibn Sallis and dozens of male Immortals who didn’t believe she would outlive the 16ht cvnetury, yet she did.
      A lot of Immortals underestimated her,believing her an easy mark, even Hazeem al Bachrim admired her prowesses with the sword and spared her pretty head where cold-hearted killer Xavier St. Cloud defeated her, raped her before contemptuously sparing her head. The problem with rape is it cannot be healed like so much flesh wound and for centuries Bouchra sought to redeem her hono,r until 1994 when Duncan MacLeod killed her ennemy, allowing her to lay her ghosts to rest.

      Typhoid Mary

      Black Annie of Strathclyde, aka Typhoid Mary, has been conclusively identified as a former disciple of Kronos as Sir Korvin of England was identified as a past identity of the Four Horsemen leader. It was an interesting theory to imagine Mary the typhoid carrier as a student of Kronos, alleged bringer of the Black Plague to Europe in the 14th century.
      Typhoid Mary has been using her particular gift as a professional killer, using her single touch to murder her quarries and in the Game she has been using poisoned throwing daggers to umbalance her opponents before the final kill. A most dangerous woman living in a dangerous world and who has been forced to adapt herself to circumstances like Felicia Martins or Kistin Gilles before her.

      Background
      Original cultural affiliation : Italian
      Born : 1157; Aosta Valley, Northern Italy
      First death : 1176; Battle of Legnano between

      Rosa
      First recorded sighting : 1176. Legnano battlefield
      Found and mentored by Gostanza, unaware of her
      Immortality

      Mea Cascio lived for too long and she wanted to be reunited with her Lord in Heaven. Though she loved her husband and her children very much, she felt ready for the gentleman from Spain who introduced himself as Esteves de Aristia. Mea begged Esteves to spare the lives of her loved ones, in return for surrendering her head willingly. Estever happily obliged, for once not having to fight for his miserable prize : the Quickening of a good woman who had spent too many centuries in the valley of the shadows.
      Argentina felt safe heaven for her, for a time, but six hundred years took their toll on her and her children where almost men and women by now, ready to live their own lives, to get married and make families of their own. They didn't need her anymore.
      Mea kneeled gracefuilly and didn't wait long to be sent to the afterlife. Her husband mourned and re-married, her two sons and three daughters mourned and lived however long they had on Earth and didn't turn out to be pre-Immortals, as we once suspected.

      Byzantine Empire
      Occupation : Captain, Byzantine army

      Byzantine soldiers in Spartan combat techniques

      Roster of Immortals Status : Missing
      Date : 1355 Byzantine civil war of 1352–1357
      Place : Thrace
      Victor : N.A
      Watcher : Research, Southern Europe

      Background
      Original cultural affiliation : Greek
      Born : 1165; Nicopolis Theme, Greece, Byzantine
      Empire
      First death : 1186; Sack of Nicopolis by the
      Normans, Third Normand Invasion of the Balkans

      Stabbed to death by Normand soldier, rescued
      from beheading by Seraphina, at this time
      repelling Norman invasion with Deoneces & Kyra

      She was called the bear woman by her men, because of her switching moods and the way she ferociously defended her cubs, a tribe of foster children born in the 14th century who followed her everywhere and whom she trained as spies, saboteurs and assassins infiltrating ennemies lines in warfare. She was even thought to have been a past identity of legendary Kellistra because of her former alias of Kallistrate and the fact Kellistra once called herself Ursual Katz, seemingly a dead giveaway. However, Kallisto was found to have been born in the Nicopolis Theme of the 12th century and was identified as a past disciple of Seraphina of Rome. So much for the Kellistra/Kallisto theory. Kallisto disappeared during the Byzantine civil war of 1357 with her children and was never heard from again.

      Background
      Original cultural affiliation : Irish

      Known ennemies : Aoife
      First recorded sighting : 850 Repelling Norse
      invasion of Outer Hebrides with Ailel of Kells

      Some sisters are simply born to hate each other, case in point Scathag of Skye and Aoife of Alba, two women linked by birth and by a bitter hatred that lasted eleven hundred years. This because of their love for legendary hero Cuchulain of Muirthemne who couldn't choose between the two women and had to love both. Unfortunately, none of the two sisters could share Cuchulain and the once friendly rivalry grew to staunch hatred. And as fate will have it, their love for another Irish hero, Ailell of Kells, fueled this particular hatred in the ninth century and had not Ailell interfered in the Game, the two sisters would no doubt have killed each other.
      Missing since the 12th century, historians theorize they still live, driven by anger and lust for men; each time they consort, robbing each other's sexual partner in a twisted game unles it be simply to pester each other endlessly.

      • Thanks for the latest updates, my friend. Once again, great work, especially the two Scottish sisters.

        Meanwhile, the next two updates to the Hellfire Club Immortals:

        Theobald Cleaver

        Known aliases: Thomas Folville (birth name)

        Born: 1299, Charnwood, Leicestershire,
        England
        First death: 1341; With the Folville Gang, led by his
        adopted brother, Richard, cornered and executed in
        Teigh, Rutland, by Sir Robert Coalville.
        First teacher: Aldrich Monk

        First recorded sighting: 1341, Teigh, East Midlands, England.
        Rescued from the executioner's block by Aldrich Monk and
        inducted into the Brimstone Brotherhood.

        The adopted brother of the Rev. Richard Folville, and Eustace, Robert, and Walter Folville, he was one of the fifty mercenaries of the Folville Gang who had ambushed and killed the corrupt Baron of the Exchequer, Sir Roger de Belar, who had made threats of violence to Eustace Folville, his family and neighbours, in January 1326. An arrest warrant was issued to apprehend those involved in the murder. Although the warrants were later withdrawn, the Folvilles were years later the victims of retribution in 1341 from Sir Robert Coalville and his men, and Thomas was the only one to walk away, joining the Immortal Brimstone Brotherhood led by Aldrich Monk, eventually changing his name to Theobald Cleaver and becoming its White Bishop.

        From the Chronicle of the Hellfire Club

        Serena Harper

        Known aliases: Sadie Cropper (birth name), Lady Eleanor
        Creacy

        Prior occupations: Socialite & black widow, pickpocket,
        street urchin

        Born: 1705, Maidstone, Kent, England
        First death: 1731; Stabbed by master thief defending a
        young boy pickpocket he was beating for failing to steal
        enough valuables
        First teacher: Aldrich Monk

        First recorded sighting: 1736, London, England.
        While posing as the Lady Eleanor Creacy, attempts to
        seduce Aldrich Monk. Amused, he reveals her true nature
        and recruits her into the Hellfire Club

        Recruited off the streets of Maidstone by a master thief to join his band of child pickpockets, Sadie Cropper demonstrated a talent for sleight-of-hand and quickly rose through the ranks to become his right-hand-woman. She grew an affinity for the youngsters in the gang and when one young boy returned with a less than usual take, he faced the wrath of their master who began beating him with a cane. She stepped in and was stabbed in a fit of rage, dying her First Death, and was dumped in an alley.
        She recovered, unaware of her immortality, returned to the ramshackle hideout and beat her former master to death with his own cane.
        Over the next five years she nurtured her gift for mimicry and carved out a living exploiting her femininity to seduce her way into high society, marrying rich landowners and then arranging "accidents" before moving on to her next rich husband. In 1736, she crossed paths with Aldrich Monk and met her match. He soon apprised her of her true nature and recruited her into the Hellfire Club, from where she changed her name to Serena Harper and became its White Rook.

        • Good updates on those two characters, Apollo, thanks !

          Radu Cozma

          Roster of Immortals Status: Deceased
          Date : 15 May 2018
          Place : Molokai
          Victor : Bridget Ingvarsen

          Amidst the chaos caused by the eruption of the Kilauea volcano in Hawai since the 3rd of May, the death of Radu Cozma went unnoticed, barely a notice in recent updates for the region of Oceania. Mad Bridget Ingvarsen got to him and took his head before he could take hers and there is no doubt she is coming for Victor Hesse now, unless Hesse and his pre-teen girlfriend decide ro evacuate Hawai. Ever since the eruption of Mt Vesuvius, volcanic eruptions always felt like bad omens to Immortals across the world.

          Encounter with Teophilos the Indian, ambassador

          521 saw the March on Mocha by Warlord Yousef Asar Yathar who killed 14,000 christians, retaliating systematic persecutions of Yemen Jews. Serving him was mercenary Darek Alak who raped and killed his way across Mocha and took the head of shrine keeper Haideh of Hadramout, bit not before having his men pull out of Holy Grounds and have their way with her. The once mentor of the fearsome Iberian Brothers (and sister) perished humiliated and raped, a disgraceful way of ending her Immortality. The woman deserved better than Darek Alak.

          Wook Bok-Soon uncovered Violet Song in the army of South Korea, the two women duked it out like two she-cats in heat, sword against saber, fighting like furies for the favors of an alley cat. This time Woo defeated her lifelong opponent and as usual since the 1930's, both women hopped in the sack and went at it like two furies in heat. Woo Bok-Soon and Violent Song have been on opposite sides of Korea's history but that never prevented them from loving each other ardently as if there were no tomorrows. It seems the recent threat of nuclear armagueddon from North Korea renewed the two women's passion for each other and this time, maybe, Violet could forsake her country for good and stay in South Korea with her lover.

          Sang Yum

          Sang Yum whose name means “Secret Mother” has been rumored to have founded a secret lamassery crammed with Immortal women, a place of worship she called Shangri-La, hiddne within the mountaisn of Tibet. Shangri-La was never found but it is a tenacious urban legend of the Immortal world, akin to the legend of Methos before he was proven living and hiding among us Watchers. Methos has been conclusively proven as a past acquaintence/lover or mentor of Sang Yum in the 19th century under his persona of Dr. Benjamin Adams and there is a strong possibility they first met in the 5th century BC when Methos was a disciple of Sun Tzu in ancient China. In 1996, San Yum moved out of Tibet to the Tibetan community of New-York in America and stayed there for ten years before returning to her homeland. She is busy with the monastery of Khor-Biyong , a place were several Immortal women sojourned, away from the perils of the Game. She built her own safe haven from the Game in her small corner of the world until the Gathering comes.

          1832 in Palestine saw the conquest of Palestine by Ottoman commander Muhammad Ali of Egypt, and serving him in his armies were Jamal Labouni and his cohorts, the Eternal Swords of Allah. Najia El Khalej faced a fierce Jewish fighter named Sobel Har-Zahav who organised a well-armed resistance against the Ottomans within the walls of Jerusalem. Had she stayed wihin these walls, she would have been safe from the sword of Najia who lured her outside end challenged her to a fight; Sobel was a good sword in the Game but Najia never played fair and took her out with the assistance of her own mentor Melik Tanju.
          Egyptian rule was challenged in 1834 by a countrywide popular uprising against conscription, the legacy left by Sobel who inspired her people's will to free themwelves from Ottoman Egypt's rule.

          Olivia Ruiz taught Iriana Cabrera too well and Iriana became a walking killing machina finding as much thrills on the rign as she did in the Game, challenging and killing Immortals indiscriminately. When Olivia reunited with her former disciple, she found a rabid dog in need to be put down quick and in spite of Iriana’s best training on the ring, she was no match for her once teacher and friend. Research is in motion to cross-reference her whereabouts with the deaths of Latin American Immortals killed by unidentified Immortals.

          Xuoco Elcano was wary of others of his kind and playing the Game in his ownfashion : a blow gun with paralysing darts to weaken his opponents and then a strike of his machete, collecting heads for the past hree hundred years. God knows how many Immortals he killed before Amazons from a rival tribe killed him for trespassing on their territory, giving him an ignominous death, his Quickening forever lost. All Xuoco wanted was to protect his homeland from the whites, his reward was being killed by the people he swore to protect and serve. A fatal bit of irony in his case.

Amidst the political agitation following the trials of several ranking officials for their crimes against humanity, the fight between Gabriela and Ricardo went unnoticed and ended with justice being served by Carmen Morales’ companion.

          Immortal Prejun Casamayor

          Alexei Miguez liked the peace and quiet from the Llano, an Immortal damaged by the Game, constantly on the run from Federales, from white men, from headhunters; the once champion of Latin American wars of independence relied on contraband alcohol to find courage in the Game and assaulted any Immortal crossing him, good or bad. There wasn’t much of a hero left in that shell of a man who finally was found beheaded one morning, burnt grass and cattle killed by lightnings all around him. Obviously an Immortal had proven stronger than he was, unless this was a friend or relative of one the people Miguez killed in a fit of uncontrolled rage. Alcohol, lack of self-control and loneliness are the tree factors which provoked the llanero’s downfall.

          Disciple of Vasco Balboa

          The elusive Maria Rosa who led the Contestado War of 1912-1916 in Brazil and has been missing for the past century has been conclusively identified as Manuela Simoes, a Portugal-faring lady in waiting who fled an abusive home in Braga where she was the clandestine “mistress” of her foster father. Once adopted at the eight of five, she was constantly abused since the age of six to sixteen until she finally stabbed her father to death and ran away from home to live on the streets as a whore before Immortal Vasco Balboa rescued her from a life of misery. Vasco sensed the pre-immortal in her diminutive frame and recuited her in the Portuguese Civil War of 1828 during which she met her First Death. Vasco and Manuela left Portugal for Colonuial Brazil where they were last seen before disapearing in 1838 in the jungles, following an exploration party. Vasco re-appeared in Bogota, Colombia in 1864 where he was killed by Immortal Escobar Gallego, his companion wasn’t seen with him and was presumed dead. One never should presume an Immortal dead before seeing his or her body. Manuela was active, alive and well in Brazil where she killed a local sexual predator, Miguel de Boaventura before diseappearign again in 1916.

          Carolyn Mortimer

          In 1805, Carolyn Mortimer and her husband where arrested by Napoleon’s secret police and sentenced to death by the guillotine for aiding and abbetting the escape of aristocrats from France and for conspiring against the Emperor, the latter charge was false. It took the combined ruse of Darius and Sean Burns to free the couple from their prison and to send them to safety to London where they lived until Carolyn’s husband natural death. In 1904, Carolyn worked for Sean Burns as his secretary, assistant and dsiciple in the study of psychology and of Sigmund Freud theories on how mankind’s behavior is pre-determined by his emerging sexuality.
          One century later, upon Sean Burns’s death by the blade of Duncan MacLeod, Carolyn took the reigns of the Black Friars asylum and is trying her best to ease the sufferings of mental patients under her care, mortals or of the Immortal kind. To her, healing the sick of mind isn’t just about giving pills and locking them away from society: it is also about reaching out to them, listening to them and talking with them She has done wonders so far. But can she truly help the more unstable Immortals locked in Black Friars, I sincerely doubt it. She better beware : she survived one breakout in 2014, next time she may not be so lucky.

          • Thanks for these latest chronicles and updates, my friend. Still loving your work!

            Here's the conclusion to the HELLFIRE CLUB saga with the final update to Dominic Piper's stats and the chronicle of another deceased member of the Club:

            Dominic Piper

            Recorded kills: Seth Parker

            Born: 1809, Bristol, England
            First death: 1831; Queen Square riots in Bristol,
            died in the cavalry charge led by Lt Colonel Thomas
            Brereton, while protesting House of Lords rejection of
            the Reform Bill
            First teacher: Seth Parker

            First recorded sighting: 1861, Tooley St, London.
            Beheaded his teacher, Seth Parker, in a warehouse at
            Cotton's Wharf. The Quickening caused the Tooley Street
            Fire which raged for two days, destroying many buildings

            Seth Parker

            Known aliases: Simon Pepper
            Notable characteristics: Expert with sword, knives and
            musket
            Weapon (s): Knives and 18th century basket-hilt rapier

            Occupation: Black Knight, Hellfire Club
            Prior occupations: Founder, Black Friars Club,
            Hellfire Club
            Roster of Immortals Status: Deceased
            Date: 22 June 1861
            Place: London
            Victor: Dominic Piper
            Watcher: Hellfire Club Watcher Team

            Background
            Original cultural affiliation: English
            Born: 1754, Reading, England
            First death: 1788; Highwayman shot trying to
            rob stagecoach Evangeline Black was travelling in
            First teacher: Evangeline Black
            Known associates: Hellfire Club's Inner Circle
            Known past associates: Court of Beauties, Knights
            of Charlemagne
            Known enemies: Secret Immortals Society

            First recorded sighting: 1788, Finchley Common,
            outskirts of London. Shot by Evangeline Black,
            mentored by her and recruited into the Hellfire Club

            Recruited into the Hellfire Club in 1788 by Evangeline Black after he tried to rob her and was then killed to activate his immortality, Seth Parker was the Club's original Black Knight until he mentored Dominic Piper following the Bristol Riots of 1831. The ambitious Piper soon grew tired of being the Club's assassin and enforcer, coveting a more prominent position in its ranks. So at a warehouse at Cotton's Wharf on Tooley Street, London, 1861, Piper seized his moment, catching his mentor unawares and decapitating him. Fleeing the fire caused by the Quickening, Piper claimed the position of Black Knight from Aldrich Monk who, grudgingly, acquiesced, although Black Queen Evangeline Black, Parker's former teacher, remains to this day wary of the devious Dominic Piper.

            • Very good conclusion, and I like the Dominic Piper story with his teacher.

              Comment


              • Thanks, Gardner. Glad you liked it. We now have backgrounds for all the Hellfire Club members to match that of the SIS.

                I now have a new project i'm working on about a secret group of Immortals who have shunned the Game for thousands of years. They live on Holy Ground and avoid the company of other Immortals. They are led by an ancient Egyptian Immortal, a former student of Inyotef, a scholar and philosopher who founded the Immortal Order of the Sacred Knowledge. The Sacred Order for short.

                They are dedicated to collecting and preserving the Lost Knowledge of Mankind, holding it until they deem mankind is ready and worthy enough for its secrets to be made known. A select group of mortals are chosen each generation to live and work within the walls of the Sacred Temple of Knowledge. Scrolls and manuscripts believed lost for thousands of years were actually rescued and preserved by the Order.

                The Watchers have suspected its existence for centuries but until now have never been able to prove it exists or to infiltrate its ranks. Until now.

                Twenty years ago, Joe Dawson tasked two young, dedicated Watchers to scour the world in search of clues to the Order's location and to discover all they could about the Immortals within its ranks. He lost contact with them after a year and never heard from them again.

                Twenty years later, one of the Watchers returns to Dawson with an astonishing story of an Order with knowledge and power enough to send shockwaves around the world, but with a code of honour and a dedication to preserving the secrets of the ancients that outstrips all other Immortals in the Chronicles.

                Here is a breakdown of the Order's ranks, i'm working on the chronicles of the Immortals that hold these positions:

                - Grand Master of the Books (formerly High Keeper of the Tablets): one of Inyotef's students, the Order's founder.

                - Master of the Black Books (formerly Keeper of the Black Tablets; the secret knowledge of dead civilisations, witchcraft and sorcery)

                - Master of the Books of Egypt (inc all of Africa)

                - Master of the Books of Anatolia (inc the Middle East & Central Asia)

                - Master of the Books of the East (inc China, Japan and Asia)

                - Master of the Books of Rome (inc all of Europe)

                - Master of the Books of the Americas (inc North, Central & South America)

                These seven Immortals have given up their birth names and adopted the names of seven famous mortal librarians:

                Demetrius, Zenodotus, Eratosthenes, Apollonius, Aristophanes, Aristarchus and Callimachus.

                Additionally there are several other positions in the Immortal ranks of the Order:

                - Overseer of the Scriptorium

                - Chief Archivist

                - Pathfinder: rescuing or locating ancient books and scrolls (there are three Immortal Pathfinders in the Order)

                - Sentinels: they protect the Pathfinders, the only Immortals in the Order to wield swords. They only fight to defend themselves or the Pathfinder they are assigned to (like the Pathfinders there are only three Sentinels)

                That's it for now. I hope this whets your appetite. I'll post the first chronicles soon and begin this new project.

                Cheers

                • Whoa! I wait with bated breath, Apollo. Lot of good ideas to be found there, and to be developed.
                  I count fifteen Immortals in total. Are all of them brand new Immortals or missing Immortals pre-existing in the chronicles ?

                  with Henry Fitzmartin

                  The love that daren’t say its name, i.e homosexuality, was frowned upon in the Midle Ages, viewed as a social deviancy, but not yet punished with death and torture as it would be in later centuries. Culberth of Winchester and Hadley of Newcastle posed as to knights and companions, hiding their relationship in plain sight and played the Game with the same vigor they had when demonstrating their love to each other. The Great Famine of England struck between 1315 and 1318, killing thousands, chaos reigned everywhere and amidst the chaos, Culberth and Hadley survived as their could and they were hungry for food, sustenance and especially sustenance of the Immortal kind. Sir Korvin of England was their chosen quarry, an easy picking they thought, one whose Quickening they could share. Unfortunately, the short-sized knight in black armor, with a scar bisecting his face, proved too strong for them and both men fell to the ground in minutes.
                  They foolishly challenged a thousands years ofl Immortal once calling himself Kronos, leader of the Four Hosemen of the Apocalypse, a man fit for medieval times when death, persilence, war and famine reigned. Culberh and Hadley are barely remembered by their own kind and are now a footnote in the Watcher Chronicles for Medieval England.

                  Rhiannon Teague
                  UPDATE

                  Each year at the same date,Rhiannon Teague commemorated the anniversary of the Special Operations Executive organisation which fought Nazis durign WWII, reuniting with her teacher Frances Drummond and the survivors of the organisation, agein men and women, well aware of Frances and Rhiannon Immortality. Themselves professionals prone to bear secrets, “the Baker Street Irregulars” never betrayed their two friends’ secret to anyone and congregated in London, drinking to past friends such as Noor Inyat Khan who died in Dachau in 1944 and was the first WWII Muslim heroine or Violette Szabo who died in Ravensbrück in 1945, remembering the time when they were heroes.
                  While not a player of the Game like Frances, Rhinannon has been doing very well on the Immortal scene and keeps her sword sharp and her eyes on the lookout for any Immortal threatening the British kingdom. Or is it the survivor’s complex and the nightmares plaguing her which keep her going ? Because she cannot forget her mortal friends who died in the service of freedom and because she swore on the deathbed of former SOE operative Odette Hallowes in 1995 to keep on fighting tyranny in all its shapes.

                  Before killing Selma Kojic in 1571, a woman who yearned pemanent death, Kismet Necdet fought and killed Zamphyra of Lazica in 1527, a woman who was the opposite of Selma : she had a positive outlook on Immortality, she was a woman freed from the horros of botched childbirth, indentured servitude in the bonds of marriage, didn’t have to anwer anybody but herself and was free to go where she pleased for however log she kept her head on her shoulders. For one thousand years she thrived in the Game, killed when forced to but enjoying the fight and the power of the Quickening. Seraphina taught her to be strong and to face whatever challenge she would meet and God knows she faced many. As a matter of fact, she faced more rough seas than calm ones in a manner of speaking, but she accepted it as part of Immortal life, a better fate than most mortal women who died before reaching twenty of age. Speaking of fate, Kismet whose name means fate, came to her during the Croatian-Ottoman 100-year war and she enthusiastically accepted his challenge.Kismet knew he was facing oen of the bravest, fiercest warrior women fo the Balkans and to him, it was an honor to kill or be killed by her. He gave her the fight she deserved, full of honor, bravado and righteousness. In the ned, Kismet prevailed and took her head. Her body was left on the battlefield, to be buried with due honors by her comrades in arms who saluted the passing of their own Gothic half-goddess who protected them from the Ottomans.

                  Found and mentored by Ahmet Dede who taught
                  her the Quran and converted her to Islam

                  Selma Kojic inflicted those scars on herself, to feel something after all the years of rape and incest she suffered at the hands of her father and three brothers, her own mother silencing her and keeping the secret within their family in the Kingdom of Bosnia.
                  Then the Ottomans conquered Bosnia and put Selma’s village to the sword after raping the girls and women, including Selma. Selma didn’t care about being raped and the Ottoman sword that sliced her throat seemed like a merciful release from years of pain.
                  When she woke up, surrounded by death, she felt apalled that death didn’t take her so she left her village, now charred ruins, in search for death, killing herself time and time again until she met up with Ahmet Dede, an Ottoman Immortal who taught her the secret of her new existence. For once, here was a man who didn’t try to molest her, but it took time for her to trust him. She accepted his lessons and when she felt she had learnt enough, left her teacher, in search for Immortal men (especially molesters) to kill. The Game gave a meaning to her life and soon her reputation as a neveraging killer of Ottoman soldiers crossed the borders of Bosnia and reached the ears of Immortal Kismet Necdet, a hunter of powerful Immortal women.
                  Necdet hunted her down and found her. War and the Game were what gave meaning to Selma’s immortality, hunting Immortals was what gave meaning to Necdet’s life. Selma coveted the sword with its name on it and Necdet was the one who, finally after nearly three hundred years of challenges, gave her oblivion and eternal peace.

                  account of her being ‘but a woman’

                  At the Battle of the Pyramids during Napoleon Egypt campaign, the Corsican Ogre exhorted his troops, saying, "Forward! Remember that from those monuments yonder 40 centuries look down upon you." Seraphina, nearly 2.000 years old and a former gladiatrix in Rome, heard him well as did her protegé, pre-Immortal François Marchette who wouldn't reach his Immortality before the Campaign of Russia in 1812. Seraphina fought well at the Pyramids and faced an Immortal enlisted among the Mamelukes of the Ottoman Empires, warrior-woman Mihrimah Pamuk whom Seraphina felt she awas a kindred spirit, a soul sister she was forced to face as her ennemy. The Roman's gladiatorial skills prevailed but she chose to spare her opponent, and not just because there were mortals nearby : she hoped for a more friendly reunion someday, one where they wouldn't face the world as ennemies but as comrades... friends or maybe more.
                  It doesn't read as very professional or Game-like from Seraphina's part, but this is a woman driven as much by sexual needs and wish for companionship than she is driven by Immortals' motto, There Can Be Only One.

                  Esarhaddon, possibly killed by the Four Hosemen

                  Zananzash body was found beheaded by his Watcher, evidences of a Quickening all around with his cannabis fields burnt to the grounds by the powerful Quickening signalling his passing. Several suspects come to mind like Silas and Shamsi-Adad of Assyria, but we have no concluqsive proof they ever challenged Zanazash. The neo-Hittite Immortal was the first drug-dealer/pusher of the Immortal world, prescibing recreative drugs to Immortals in need of means to sustain the courage and passion they needed in the Game. Even virtous Aganesthos of Tiryns wasn’t above asking “special medication” from him. Zananzash made several ennemies, like Rebecca and Achilles of Troy who hated seeing past friends and allies poison themselves with magic mushrooms and opium sold by the Hittite Immortal, so it is likely a benevolent Immortal decided to dish out justice to bring equilibrium to the Game.
                  The Quickening which destroyed Zananzash’s fields was a favor to the Immortals community. Unfortunately, Immortals and mortals learnt from him over the centuries and his legacy spread over the world, poisoning today’s youth.

                  • Another great group of chronicles. my friend. I really enjoyed the update on Rhiannon Teague and Frances Drummond reflecting on their time in the SOE. Especially poignant since i just recently watched a program on the wartime activities of the SOE! Lol

                    As for the Sacred Order; all the Masters, the Archivist and the Overseer of the Scriptorium will be new Immortals. However, I've been considering that the Pathfinders and Sentinels could be missing Immortals recruited into the Order and converted to their noble cause.

                    Could you help by suggesting six Immortals from the missing roster?

                    The Pathfinders will be peace-loving Immortals whose job would be to seek out ancient scrolls, manuscripts and artefacts, recovering them from archaeological sites, from thieves or old ruins.

                    The Sentinels will be Immortal warriors given a new purpose; protecting their assigned Pathfinder. They will avoid contact with other Immortals where possible, fighting only in defence of themselves or their Pathfinder.

                    These Immortals would have been recruited before or during the Middle Ages.

                    Cheers

                      Dyonisius, confirmed to him the actual immortality
                      of Jesus of Nazareth

                      According to Middle Eastern Chronicles there were a fair number people who were attributed physical immortality by Jesus of Nazareth prior to his crucifixion and while most of those stories are apocryphal, i.e coming from too many different sources to be verifiable, the existence of Jesus of Nazareth has indeed be verified as well as the story of the Wandering Jew, aka Ahasuerus, already several centuries old and the story of Lazarus' resurrection cluing us on the origins of the Immortal Lucius Sharp claiming the identity of the original disciple of Christ.
                      The existence of Casca Longinus is unverifiable. In theory he may well have been Cassius Marius, aka Brother Paul, the only known Immortal centurion to have converted to Christianity, thus joining the origin story of the original Saint Longinus. Paul never spoke of his life around the time of Christ’s resurrection but if indeed he pierced the flank of Christ this could have created the conditions to his conversion to Christian religion.
                      The stories of John the Apostle and the Three Nephrites are to be taken with a grain of salt. All we know so far is that Jesus lives in Jerusalem and Lazarus was living in New Mexico prior to his disapperarance in 1978. The man claiming to be the Wandering Jew was killed by a disciple of his, a youngish immortal with the habit of murdering his teachers.
                      John the Apostle, or the man claiming to be him was met by Dyonisos the Aerropagite in Epesus circa 100 AD.
                      The Three Nephites met Cassandra in 33, the year of Jesus' crucifiction, they spread the word of Christ for three hundred years before their disappearance in 301 in Armenia

                      other disciple, Samira Hamid

                      Xanthia once told me about her lover Parthenia of Udyana during our reunion in Normandy in 950. There was her student, Amanda, a wild little hellion who was jealous of my relationship with her mistress. When I asked Xanthia if she and Amanda had an intimate relationship she answered they didn’t.That was a student/teacher relationship, akin to an older aunt and her niece. To which I retorted that “funny aunts” had existed since the dawn of mankind. Xanthia had a light laugh but swore she hadn’t been involved in any serious lesbian relationship since her days in the Punjab by the 2nd century BC. At this time she reuntied with Samira, a former disciple, and she did the mistake of accepting her as lover. When she took a new student from the Indo-Grek kingdom, the three women became involved in a risqué ménage à trois which led slowly to jealousy from the insecure Parthenia. The relationship ended badly and Xanthia took an oath to never mix romance with her work as a teacher again. The last time she heard of Parhenia she was in the Punjab when the Indo-Greek kingdom dissolved itself.

                      Encounter with Selim Ubadah, told him stories of
                      long-gone Immortals from Mesopotamia

                      In 1900 Immortal Aurel Stein (the Immortal Indiana Jones) uncovered the city of Khotan,capital city of the Kingdom of Khotan, buried under centuries of sand. Stein had been inspired in his research by the writings of fellow immortal Hsien-Tsiang who had travelled through Central Asian and along the Silk Road where he was met by an ancient woman by name of Amestris.
                      Amestris hailed from the Kingdom of Khotan and had reinvented herself as a wife of Mahomet in the Mecca under the name of Safiya bint Ho-Yay where she met Immortal Selim Ubadah. Ubadah gave Amestris the incentive for telling fantasy stories of ancient Immortals, wizards, and adventurers, thus making her the Immortals’ immortal chronicler.
                      Intrigued by the stories of Hsien-Tsaiang, Stein decided to research the existence of the strange Amistris and of her city when he was sixteen years from achievign Immortality during an expedition to Central Asia.
                      The other source of inspiration to Stein was the work of the Swedish explorer and geographer, Sven Hedin, who had done extensive, detailed mapping of large parts of Central Asia, including the routes of the famous Silk Road. Central Asia was an area that theretofore had not been mapped in great detail.
                      Aurel Stein eventually found the city of Khotan through a combination of luck and observation of how the site was irrigated for centuries with water that had been redirected via canals from the nearby rivers, including the Kara-kash River. Stein's deduction was that the ruins of the city laid under the village of Hetian/ Yotkan.
                      During his diggings, he found tablets that described a woman of great beauty and wisdom, named Amestris, confirmign the existence of the woman and her origins as the fabled Scheherazade from the 1001 Nights, or more accurately, Schahrazad, a captive/consort of Immortal Hassan-ii-Sabah.

                      Disciple of Taher ibn Hamed and Jamal Laboudni

                      Mohsen Ibn Rida-Siraj deserted the Swords of Allah in 1643 but Jamal Labouni accepted no desertion and hunted down the Islamic scholar during the capture of Mecca by the Saudi state and though his final fate is unknown, it does not look good to the observant Watcher who studied the chronicles of Labdouni and his cohorts. Mohsen studied the Quran under Hamza el Kahir, the words of Christ under Darius, Buddhism under Hsien-Tsiang and the Talmud with Avram Mordecai to reach the conclusion that God exist udner diverse shapes and that there are thousands of ways to love Allah (or Christ, or Buddha) and that hatred isn’t the answer to the existence of Christians in MiddleEast. Only tolerance and acceptance of other people’s customs and religious beliefs. As far as the Game was concerned, Mohsen avoided it and found the strenght to forgive Xavier St. Cloud for the death of Hamza, taught forgiveness by Darius.
                      The man of war who wreaked havok with the Swords of Allah disappeared decades before the Watchers lost his trace and it is our hope that he still lives out there, or at least that he had a peaceful life in the last two hundred years.

                      Truly an odd character that one, a once-hermaphrodite who grew old with time and only reached his immortality nearlty the end of his mortal life on Earth. Mentored by Cassandra who taught the use of the voice to help and elederly infirm to survive in the Game, which he did for at least five hundred years before disapearing in the 8th century BC. He had seldom contazcts with Immortals, first with Cassandra, later with the fabled Odysseus, then with Methos and his student Ekaterini; he was rumored to have fooled the Kurgan himself, using the giant’s boorishness against himself and to have bedded Kellistra herself – however unlikely that is. The Lady of Lesbos once mentoned him as a charming companion and a perfect match to her ageing physique.

                      later mentored by Paul Karros

                      Finally extensive search in the chronicles of Paul Karros have allowed to identify him at the teacher of Immortal Nader Salam in 725 as well as the unidentified Immortal who got in a fight with Selim Ubadah in 725 in Egypt. Paul Karros was leading a revolution as he always did, this time leading rebellion of Copts (Christian Egyptians) against opressive taxation by Arab rulers. Nader Salam became his disciple and went missing two hundred years later when he was leading a peasant rebellion against the Fatimids who ruled Egypt I nthe 10th century. Where Karros led revolutions for the sake of warrign against opressors, Nader was more idealistic, wantign the happiness of his people and dreamng for the day all opression would cease in Egypt. A hopeless dream, but still he fought on bravely : against the Arabs, the Fatimids but also against aggressive players of the Game coming after his head. If he is still active to this day, there is no doubt he is a fervent militant for the right of opressed Copts in Egypt and that he participated in the 2011 Arab Spring.

                      Immortal, or was seduced by him (the Watchers
                      aren’t sure)

                      I would like to make matters clear where the chronicle of Yau Chouan Chou is concerned: he wasn’t the mysoginist one would pretend him to be, rather a man from his time who had a hard time beliving women could be the equals of women on the field of battle. And yet, he was always proven wrong with the likes of Mei-Li Choe or May-Ling She, his last known student. Mei-li was the mistress of kung-fu of the 5th century BC in China and she is the one who taught her art to Master Yau who later passed those skills on May-Ling Shen who herself gave a lesson in humility to the boorish Highlander called Duncan MacLeod.
                      I knew Mei-li and believe me this woman was a kicker ! I even saw her best techniques used in combat by Golden Swallow in the Shaw Brothers productions. And oddly enough, the Godlen Swallow was herself azn Immortal. Life has an odd way of moving in circles.

                      I remember racing against Irene at the time of the earthquake, I bet her fifty gold coins that I would win on the fourth and she agreed o it because she liked placing bets. To her, playing the Game already was placing a bet so she didn’t mind the gold coins. It’s not like a Quickening was going to be lost.
                      The crowd cheered as we ran around the colyseum and then the ground started moving, thousands of people screamed and I don’t remember quite clearly what happed, I know we ran for safety while everything started crumbling. We must have been trampled in the stampede. I was dug up from a pile of rubbles, called miraculous because I survived unscathed. I looked after Irene but could find no trace of her. I am sure she survived the earthquake, at least I belive so because if she had lost her head, I would have received her Quickening and I would feel her presence in me. I she is out there somwhere, I hope we can resume our race. I wonder how many gold coins she would ask this time.

                      I am the fly on the wall who gave the incentive to King Cyrus to constitute his army of immortal warriors, a cadre of powerful combatants instantly replaced after one falls on the field of battle, naming them immortals was a joke from my part. Interestingly enough, history kept my joke for historians to record as a fact of life. Oh I knew King Cyrus well, I knew many kings and emperors and always reminded them they were all naked under their clothing and needed good protection. The actual immortal who led the battalion was another disciple of mine, Pantea Artheshbod and she also put her mark on the history of mankind. I even wrote a page on the net dedicated to her (not on wiki, though, too amateurish to my tastes). Pantea taught to King Cyrus to respect the customs and religions of the lands he
                      conquered which taught him to better centralize the power he held on the countries he he had a hold on, and also to respect women ! Well recognized for his achievements in human rights, politics, and military strategy, as well as his influence on both Eastern and Western civilizations according to the wiki page, ha ! He has to thank Cleophon of Athens and myself for that, we taught him well.
                      A hot-blooded woman Pantea, a woman who flexes her brain as much as her muscles. Gone missing in the 7th century and I hope still active. I miss hour training sessions and the perfume on her body on morning.

                      Pantea Arteshbod, also her soul-siser

                      Unlike Barsine of Asaak, Pantea Arteshbod’s other disciple, Melania of Traxiane ever hid her feminity, she never had to. She was self-conscious, aware of her mesmerizing beauty and the effect it could have on men. She knew the way to a man’s heart (or head) can be though his sexuality and she used every advantage she had to win in male affairs, in mortality or in Immortality. She won a lot of battles and stayed as beautiful and proud as she was upon her First Death when an arrow pierced her heart in 140 BC. She met defeat agaisnt one man, Immortal, in 651, when Selim Ubadah proved smarter and more in control than most Immortal men and won her heart, taking her to his bed. He was the one she respected and who learnt to respect her as a woman and fellow warrior. A virgin with the oath of only giving herself to an Immortal man able to conquer her, Melania willingly gave herself to Selim that night and when daw came… Selim was alone, a peace of his heart gone with Melania.

                      She was called the bear woman by her men, because of her switching moods and the way she ferociously defended her cubs, a tribe of foster children born in the 14th century who followed her everywhere and whom she trained as spies, saboteurs and assassins infiltrating ennemies lines in warfare. She was even thought to have been a past identity of legendary Kellistra because of her former alias of Kallistrate and the fact Kellistra once called herself Ursual Katz, seemingly a dead giveaway. However, Kallisto was found to have been born in the Nicopolis Theme of the 12th century and was identified as a past disciple of Seraphina of Rome. So much for the Kellistra/Kallisto theory. Kallisto disappeared during the Byzantine civil war of 1357 with her children and was never heard from again.

                        Hope these meet with your approval! Lol

                        Also i need some suggestions from the missing roster for one more Immortal to fill the role of the Order's Cleaner, known as The Apostate. He/she is responsible for protecting the secret of the Order's existence. Anyone, Immortal or mortal, who gets close to knowing it exists or where it is, he/she eliminates the threat. The Apostate is suspected in the deaths of hundreds of mortals, at least six Immortals who's killer was never identified, and at least a dozen Watchers over the centuries. Although not evil, The Apostate is a cold blooded killer absolutely devoted to the Order and willing to do whatever he/she has to to ensure its continued existence.

                        Cheers

                        • I am okay with your choice, but do the new stats for the Pathfinders and Sentinels mean the Watchers are aware of who they work for and what their occupation is exactly ?
                          As for the Apostate... let me think about it!

                            Yes. As was mentioned in the description for the Order, one of the Watchers Joe Dawson sent to investigate, returned twenty years later. As of now, the Watchers have become aware of the Sacred Order. I have some reports to post from the Watcher to Joe, detailing his experience which i'll post as i also post the chronicles for the Masters.

                            Of course, all of this means the Watchers will have to find a way to keep this knowledge compartmentalised, because if word gets out that the Order has been compromised, then The Apostate will be activated (if he/she doesn't already know about the Watcher's escape!).

                            More to come!

                            • Okay Apololo, I updated the stats and I am happy to see how this works well, the combined Patheinder/Sentinels team looks great on the roster. I wonder how they work together, al of them, how they get on. Here are pictures if found, actors for each Immortal.
                              Update : Parthenya is now assigned to Southern Asia as a Pathfinder.


                              From left to right :

                              John the Apostle : Noah Wyle, from E.R, Jewish-American
                              Parthenia : Neetu Chandra, Hindu actress with light complexion, fit for a Greek-Indian Immortal
                              Amestris of Khotan : Khatereh Asadi, Iranian actress
                              Mei-li Choe : Zhang Ziyi from movie house of flying daggers

                                First teacher : Methos
                                Known past associates : Methos, Theseus
                                Known ennemies : Katherine of Samothrace,
                                Cleophon of Athens, Achilles of Troy, Thanos of
                                Athens
                                First recorded sighting : Corinth, Greece. During the
                                Corinth War of 395-387 BC, Inconclusive fight
                                against Cleophon of Athens

                                The immortal naming himself Kotys who fought Katherine in Samothrace, while she was searching for her roots, bore the hallmarks of ancient origins and was a past ennemy of the legendary Cleophon of Athens; he fought Katherine with ferocity and gusto, showing he wasn't afraid of a warrior-woman such as Katherine. Eventually he won the duel, but instead of killing the Samothracian woman he helped her to her feet and called her a true warrior, worthy of being ranked among the best fighters in the Game.
                                Kotys was a goddess worshipped with much revelry by Thracian tribes such as the Edonians in the festival Cotyttia. According to Greek sources her priests were called baptes or "washers" because their pre-worship purification rites involved bathing. Her worship included midnight orgies. Her name is believed to have meant "war, slaughter".
                                Katherine befriended Kotys who taught her not to just fight in the Game but also to savor life : to appreciate the beauty of the sunset in the morning, to marvel at the birth of a young child, to savor rare food and good wine, and to recover from the trauma she suffered in 256 after the massacre of her two companions and the violations she suffered from Dacian soldiers.
                                After two years, the two friends parted ways, Katherine became a changed person : not just a warrior, she would make a difference in the world of immortality as a teacher and bringer of life. It is thanks to the conversations between the two lovers we learnt that Koty’s teacher was a man once called Metopholus, a former identity of the elusive Methos. Kotys the Hunter travelled around Greece, changing his name to 'Nimrod', after the legendary hunter and former companion of Theseus; he fought often and disappeared in the Pelopponese around 854, believed to have been killed by the Roman headhunter Lucius Oranius Capito. British Watchers suggest he may have survived his encounter with Capito.

                                frightened Holophernes troops

                                A notable "villain" of the Bronze Age, Holofernes has made his mark on history as the victim of the fabled Judith who decapitated him with help from her handmaiden, a scene depicted in paintings countless of times, including a famous one by Artemissia Gentileschi, aka Immortal Artemissia of Helicarnassos.. Holofernes knew the true sense of terror and made a point of terrorizing and enslaving the populations of the countries and kingdoms he conquered, thus making his teacher very proud. His teacher was Kronos, my brother, thus making of Holofernes my nephew by association.
                                Well, Holofernes, Kronos and I shared one trait of character : a definite weakness for women. This weakness allowed Cassandra to "kill" Kronos and escape from him (I remember she nearly castrated him with her own teeth) and Judith of Bethulia to reach him with her handmaiden (who may have been Elishevah of Samaria, her teacher) and decapitated him with a knife. His muffled screams for help were mistaken for orgiastic screams and when his body was found, it was too late : Judith and her friend had vanished like a puff of smoke.

                                I really get a kick at writing those entries for the Watcher's chronicles because it allows me to disclose the fates of lesser-known Immortals of the Bronze Age and also to make my presence known as the sole contemporary Immortal Watcher. I said contemporary, guys... Get it ? Yes, it may be childsih, but at my age one can afford to be childish sometimes.

                                murdered the Thracian captain who raped her
                                Encounter with Deoneces of Sparta

                                According to Plutarch's biography of Alexander the Great, when his forces took Thebes during Alexander's Balkan campaign of 335 BC, Thracian forces pillaged the city, and a captain of the Thracian forces raped an Immortal woman named Timocleia, identified as such by Cleophon of Athens, at this time a commander in the Macedonian cavalry and serving on Alexander's command staff. After raping her, the captain asked if she knew of any hidden money. She told him that she did, and led him into her garden, and told him there was money hidden in her well. When the Thracian captain stooped to look into the well, Timoclea pushed him into the well, and then hurled heavy stones into the well until the captain was dead.
                                Timoclea was seized by the Thracian soldiers and brought before Alexander the Great. She comported herself with great dignity and told Alexander that her brother was Theagenes, last commander of the Theban Sacred Band, who died "for the liberty of Greece" at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC, defeated by Alexander's father Philip of Macedon. Alexander was so impressed with Timocleia that he ordered her and her children released and she was not punished for killing the Thracian captain.
                                Timoclea became Cleophon'slover from 335 to 326 BC and parted ways with him, nt seen by Watchers before 272 BC in Pyrrhus, Sparta, when she lad Spartan warriors alongside Deoneces (Cleophon's disciple) and Kyra of Sparta. The three Immortals fought side by side and also did a luscious menage à trois in the bed between two battles.

                                We don’t know how many she killed precisely in one century of immortal life, one dozen at most because she lived in a place where Immortals travelled through one country to another and Iraq was at the crossroad of the Middle East since the heyday of Babylon. Izdihar was a tyoung Immortal but she played the Game with a passion only matched by her prowesses in bed. A mistress of the sword and of sexuality, luring men like moths to the flame. Her last known quarry was Selim Ubadah who was en route to Hatra when he was taken by a desert sand storm and lost for a time, his Watcher having presumably suffocated to death I nthe sand. 400 AD Immortals census for Middle Eastern countries lists Izdihar among the missing.
                                She may have seduced Selim Ubadah and may have been killed by him.

                                Seraphina taught what she could to the Immortal boy she mentored in the Eighth century but where Amanda the thief taught trickery and deceit to Kenneth the Saxon and forgetting his existence for the following eight hundred years, Seraphina the Roman gladiatrix taught Smerdis to use speed and agility to evade aggressive Immortals and to never try eating a meal he couldn’t chew, i.e she didn’t turn him into an aggressive player of the Game. Seraphina and Smerdis stayed together for two decades before the boy felt he had grown enough and wanted to strike on his own. For three hundred years he avoided the Game, ran from Immortals he felt could hurt him and proved to be very good at hiding in plain sight; in the mortal world he hired himself as squire to knights or armies officers who would need him and he had a knack at making himself useful : imagine, a boy with the life-experience of a three hundred years old man ! Smerdis disappeared from our chronicles in 1017, during the invasion of Khwarezm by Sultan Mamhud of the Ghaznavid, Jamal Labdouni and Taher Ibn Hamed Al Jaber founders of the Swords of Allah were present and while we cannot prove for certain Smerdis was killed by Labdouni or by Al Jaber, he would have been but an appetizer to the two conquering Muslims.

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 Inteligence operatives. She would have given a hard time to James Bond himself !

                                Pontus, murdered 20,000 resident Romans.
                                Hunted and killed by Cassandra
                                The earlier chronicles of Cassandra read like a long road of revenge against men abusing and raping women across the world, as if the ancient seer had a score to settle with those who enslave and torture innocent women, maybe a remainder of the constant abuse and torture she suffered at the hands of Methos whern she was a slave of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Case in point, Krillos of Armenia, a general in the army of Persia who came from Armenia Minor and served Mithriades of Pontus, responivble for a massacre of civilians on the sacred Island of Delos in 88 Bc where Cassandra served as the oracle of Delos. For five decades, Cassandra hunted Krillos and finally found him in the Kingdom of Pontus where she challenged him before his men. Krillos had a good laugh, but laughed no more when he held his spilling innards between his hands, defeated in minutes by Cassandra’s savage sword.
                                The Quickening of Krillos was long and powerful. Later research in the Brzone Age chronicles indicate he was birn in the 37th century BC and was a disciple of Oromedon of Urkesh.

                                There isn't really a chronicle for Japeth of Ur, what we know of him are from ancient scrolls depcting his conflict against Gilgamesh at two seperate periods of Mesopotamian history. In 2334 BC, Semitic chieftain Sargon of Akkad's conquest of Sumer and Mesopotamia occured, aided by Japeth who betrayed his king to Sargon of Akkad and paid the ultimate priuce for his betryal when Gilgamesh sought him out, took his head and triggered such a massive Quickening that Sargon died from a heart attack when he was told Gilmaesh was a god who commanded to the natural elements.
                                Oromedon of Urkesh referred to Japeth as his dsiciple at the beginning of the Uruk period of Sumer, placing his birth around 3600 BC.

                                • I really love the actor choices you picked! A great mix of ethnicities that really suit the Immortals. Could use a more recent picture of Zhang Ziyi though to match the others lol

                                  I chose Kotys as The Apostate since his age is near enough to that of the Grand Master that they would have crossed paths in their earlier years and a friendship most likely would have been formed such that Kotys would have been the ideal candidate for the Order's cleaner. His ruthlessness would have come from his devotion to the Order's mission and his determination to protect the Immortals who serve it.

                                  The updated stats for Kotys:

                                  • Good choice. Definitely not Charles Herne, then. Got a nice pic for him : Michael Ironside, from Extreme Prejudice, Highlander II (YUCK !) and lots of good SCI-FI movies where he played great villains and shady characters.
                                    I hope the new picture for the Chinese Sentinel is to your taste :-)

                                    Mentioned in conversation between Aganesthos
                                    and Methos, as Bellerophon’s mentor and killed by
                                    his former disciple

                                    Prometheus was always considered an apocryphal Immortal in the chronicles, i.e one whose real identity was unknownd and/or existence unverified. It is once again to the credit of the Ancient Immortals Watcher Research team that we could put a proof of Prometheus’ existence from the chronicles of the 11th century BC as having been murdered by his own disciple, the fallen hero Bellerophon.
                                    Bellerophon once loved the ancient Immortal Methos and was loved by him. Is is not out place to discuss the ancient Immortal’s sexual life or choices in companions. What matters is that Bellerophon conceived an intense jealousy about Prometheus who also loved Methos and was loved by him. The amorous triangle between the three Immortals ended tragically when Bellerophon challenged his former teacher and killed him. Ironically, Methos killed Bellerophon two hundred years later after he joined three horsemen wearing masks, riding to the sun.
                                    Was it the death of Prometheus which drove Methos over the edge. We shall never know, unless Methos himself decides to tell all.

                                    • Yes! Love the new picture! She looks totally badaass. Good choice with Michael Ironside. Incidentally, he's always been one of my favourite actors, who can play both shady characters and good guys with a tough streak. Hated his character in Highlander II though (the entire film, tbh!). Playing The Apostate in this AU will hopefully eradicate the memory of his previous appearance from my memory lol

                                      Cheers

                                      • Apollo, the zones of research work for the Pathfinders are a bit too large for only three Immortals, maybe there should be more Pathfinders and more Sentinels. It would be interesting to have more S/P teams for the Orient, Asian, Middle Eastern and European regions. And especially Africa, a very large continent with a rich, tumultuous history.
                                        Also, who are the Pathfinders and Sentinels for the Americas and Oceania ?

                                        Glad you like Michael Ironside and the new pic of Mei-Li Choe :-)

                                        Amadou was found by Jin Ke during the first exploration of the black continent by the Chinese; Jin Ke pefected Amadou’s skills as a warrior but centuries later Zai Jie instilled in Amadou his passion for archaeology and gave him a purpose in his life : show the world the untold wonders hidden in Africa's past history, restoring the past to help Ethiopians create a future for themselves in spite of the dire situation they face with poverty, corruption and the AIDS pandemic.
                                        Amadou's work on the Axum site helped bring proof of the presence of white colonizer around the Fourth Century AD, originating from Southern Europe. The elements that helped him bring his theory was the presence of a gladius found next to a decapitated squeletton, but Amadou didn't share his theory on who the squeletton might have been when he had his head on his shoulders !

                                        There is the legend in Eastern Africa about Fire from the Sky, a dark-faced woman of amazing powers who killed an African prince around 400 AD, triggering an earthquake and the biggest lighting inferno to grace the land of Kenya. The woman put such an impression on the Kenyans that they called her Fire from the Sky, the witch who rose from the dead and killed the Prince who put him to death, taking his head and drinking his essence. This folktale clearly describes an immortal, a challenge and a Quickening.
                                        Fire from the Sky is recorded as having raised a tribe of twelve children - who started wandering Eastern Africa upon reaching adulthood and all died in wars, all of them bearing the name "Kenyatta" and rising from the dead. We do not know what happened of them. Fire from the Sky raised those children after marrying a local prince, himself an immortal and is said to have kept him aprt from the education of her childen, never letting him approach her daughters. She fought often, led her tribe in war and battles, and often illuminated the Kenyan sky with ligtnings. She is written to have lived six generations before burying her husband and disappearing with her children, thus marking the time of her diseappearance around 520 AD when she fought a battle against the legendary Sekou Nkruma, the warrior who turned into a doctor. Sekou lives to this day, we presume she won the battle, being such a formidable warrior and allowed him to live.

                                        Research through well-preserved scrolls dating back to the time of Christ gave a description of Berenice, a woman of sainthood who walked with a cane, afflicted with a wound predating First Death. We can safely assumed the immortal Berenice lived through 2,000 years of mortal history going from ony Holy Ground to another and may have marked the history of mortalkind ssuming the identities of various sainted women – at least ones afflicted with a limp like Seraphia and Saint VeronicaBerenice may now be removed from the list of missing immortals and be recorded as deceased; her file is to be merged with the profile of the mysterious ‘Holy Woman of Jerusalem’.

                                        Berenice, aka Seraphia, is the holy woman who allegedly wiped Jesus's face with a fresh cloth during his Passion and became immortal about at the same time that he did; the holy man not only performed miracles but attracted many immortals and pre-immortals arond him : Lazarus, Ahasuerus, the Sleeprs of Ephesus, Rebecca, Methos (allegedly), Marcus Constantine. Berenice lived in Jerusalem and around the middle-east territories for the following six centuries, helping the poor and infirm, spreding the word of Jesus and doing his will : good work in his name, until her untimely disappearance in Jerusalem, circa 670. Jerusalem being a Holy City, no challenge was ever issued in its history and it is safe to assume Berenice found a way to avoid the perils of the Game and will be seen among the last surviving immortals the day of the Gathering.

                                        I remember racing against Irene at the time of the earthquake, I bet her fifty gold coins that I would win on the fourth and she agreed o it because she liked placing bets. To her, playing the Game already was placing a bet so she didn’t mind the gold coins. It’s not like a Quickening was going to be lost.
                                        The crowd cheered as we ran around the coliseum and then the ground started moving, thousands of people screamed and I don’t remember quite clearly what happed, I know we ran for safety while everything started crumbling. We must have been trampled in the stampede. I was dug up from a pile of rubbles, called miraculous because I survived unscathed. I looked after Irene but could find no trace of her. I am sure she survived the earthquake, at least I believe so because if she had lost her head, I would have received her Quickening and I would feel her presence in me. I she is out there somewhere, I hope we can resume our race. I wonder how many gold coins she would ask this time.

                                        Following further research by Special Projects, we can now affirm that Pathfinder Berenice of Jerusalem and her Sentinel protector Irene of Antioch were present at the Siege of Constantinople in 717-718 as Berenice rescued hundreds of ancient scrolls before the Byzantine Emperor Leo III the Isaurian had 300,000 books burned. She encountered Lalica in 718, at the Battle of Constantinople during Arab invasion of Byzantine Empire, fresh from having killed Immmortal Antarah ibn Shaddah. Both women were too busy to challenge each other. I

                                          • "This weakness allowed Cassandra to "kill" Kronos and escape from him (I remember she nearly castrated him with her own teeth)" I LOVE this line. So... Fire From The Sky may have really been the mother, and her husband may have been the father of those twelve children, but he didn't know it?

                                            • Well, Fire from the Sky could have faked those pregnancies and pretended her husband was the father of her children ,all foundlings. At least that's what the Watchers believe. In my story Fire from the Sky and her husband are the factual parents of those pre-Immortals : they are of age, i.e old and powerful enough to breed children.

                                            • I like what you've done there with adding a new Pathfinder/Sentinel team. And i like the actresses you've chosen. Especially since I've just recently watched Black Panther lol!

                                              Any suggestions you may have for the Americas would have any team here homebased in South America since most of the oldest civilisations in that part of the world originated there (the Incas, Mayans etc).

                                              BTW Do you have the active and inactive Immortals of West Africa, only i just realised i missed that one out! Thanks in advance...

He develooped an intense passion for the Miztecan beauty who didn’t quite reciprocate : she saw in Duncan MacLeod the Scottish warrior turned hero of the Mexican revolution but also a little boy in search for his roots who scoured the vast world, looking for new identities, for new adventures so he could perform more amazing feats. She told so to the Scot. MacLeod, taken aback, answered that this may be true, but no matter what, he stayed Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod, player of the Game and lover of mortals.
                                                MacLeod never obsessed over Ixcatzin and wasn’t a suspect when her Watcher reported her disappearance, MacLeod being away with Paul Karros fighting federal troops, and they were the only three immortals recorded present in Mexico City at that time. A great woman who supported the independence of Mexico and cordially despised Paul Karros, whom she saw as a revolutions-profiteer and opportuniçst who sacrificed mortal lives like pawns on a chessboard, and she told so to the Thracian immortal who strongly disagreed, but not to the extant of wanting to take her head.

                                                Mercedes the Gypsy was one of those immortal women who are barely bleeps on Watcher scope, appearing from time to time in our chronicles, and are never heard from again until the moment when they manifest. She first appeared as a disicple of the eluvie Kellistra, known in the 15th century as Kudra Ivanova, Gypsy woman, and was seen embarking on Christopher Colombus’ Pinta ship sailing for the Americas. Herself and two gypsy men. She was a well-known consort of Colombus until her confrontation against Spaniard Javier Valdez in 1538, a conflict that led to her disappearance. She re-appeared in 1820 in Alicante, being courted by Ottavio Consone, answering to his amourous challenges with her sword, besting the disiple of Ramirez, only to let him live, humiliating him in public.

                                                Note : she is the youngest Sentinel but her credentials as a disciple of Kellistra were enough for the Sacred Order I suppose.
