    • ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST (Queen)

      Harjot Shahraj
      Known aliases : Singha Khan, Mohan Patel
      Notable characteristics : Religiosu fanatic
      Weapon : Sikh curved saber
      Recorded kills : None, not a player of the Game

      Status
      Most recent base of operations : Mumbai, India
      Occupation : Bodyguard, the Eternal Sihan
      Prior occupations : Sikh warrior
      Roster of Immortals Status : Deceased
      Date : 1 June 1928
      Place : Mumbai
      Victor : Appius Lepidus Baro
      Watcher : Research, Baro Chronicles

      Background
      Original cultural affiliation : Indian Sikh
      Born : 1598; Lahore, India
      First death : 1628; Sikh warrior killed at Defence of
      Armitsar, repelling imperial forces of Emperor
      Shahjahan of India
      First teacher : Guru Ramdas ji, cross-identified as
      The Eternal Sihan
      Known associates : The Eternal Sihan
      Known ennemies : Sanjiv Gupta, Appius Lepidus
      Baro
      First recorded sighting : 1628. Arimtsar, India
      Fighting Immortal Sanjiv Gupta, Imperial troops

      The chronicle of Appius Lepidus Barro is one of constant regrets over the Immortals he needlessly killed in his youth, and then over the Immortals he was forced to kill, endlessly playing the Game, unable to afford himself the occasional burnout. He thought he was safe in Mumbai, India, but the word is out : on the Immortal scene, you are not safe. Not even close. In Mumai he built a cosy little life for himself, he had a house, servants, a lovely mistress, and then he investigatedf hte diseppearance of his mistress, who fell in the lutches of a local nasty Immortal by name of Sihan a cultist and guru who had an Immortal bodyguard with an even nasty temper as Appius' on a bad day.
      Barro killed Sihan's bodyguard, a Sikh warrior who was fully aware the Game was played with as much vigor i nthat part of Asia as it is played in the rest of the world. Not only did Appius regret killing a kindred spirit like Harjot Shahraj, he alwo wished he had killed the Eternal Sohan who raped and murdered his beloved Shandra.
      The Eternal Sihan is inactive those days, currently in prison after one hudnrted of women of India bore witness to his cruelty as a sect leader. I have an inkling his days are numbered now that I sent Appius some words on the Eternal Sihan's current whereabouts.

      • Antonia Guidera
        Known aliases : Ichtaca (birth name) Carla Lopez
        Notable characteristics : Entombed during 1600
        years
        Weapon : Custom machete
        Recorded kils : None, not a player of the Game

        Status
        Most recent base of operations : Cancun,
        Mexico
        Occupation : Curator; Museo Mayan de Cancun
        Prior occupations : Student, sacrificial virgin
        Roster of Immortals Status : Inactive
        Date :
        Place :
        Victor :
        Watcher : Consuelo Rodriguez

        Background
        Original cultural affiliation : Native American
        Maya
        Born : Chichen Itza, Maya Lowlands, unknown date
        Present-day Yucatan State, Mexico
        First death : Sacrificed to Water-God Chaac
        First teacher : Carlo Baldoni
        Known past associates : Carlo Baldoni
        First recorded sighting : 1924 Yucatan Peninsula
        Found by Carlo Baldoni on excavation site

        The Maya held the belief that cenotes or limestone sinkholes were portals to the underworld and sacrificed human beings to please the water god Chaac. The most notable example of this is the "Sacred Cenote" at Chichen Itza where extensive excavations have recovered the remains of 42 individuals, half of them under twenty years old. In 1913, archaeologist Sylvanus G. Morley persuaded the Carnegie Institution to fund an extensive archaeological project at Chichén Itzá, which included mapping the ruins and restoring several of the monuments. The Mexican Revolution and the following government instability prevented the Carnegie from beginning work until 1924. Over the course of 10 years, the Carnegie researchers led by immortal archaeologist Carlo Baldoni excavated and restored the Temple of Warriors and the Caracol. Baldoni had the surprise of finding the well-preserved remains of an immortal girl who must have been locked up there for the past 1600 years. Baldoni recovered the body of the young woman today known as Antonia Guidera and taught her about human history, about the tragic demise of her people the Mayas, about the Conquistadores and more importantly about immortals and about the Game. Guidera recently landed a position as curator in Mexico City, trying to preserve the past of the natives of her original country. Watcher research was successful at establishing her aproximate birth date as circa 150 AD , making her one of the oldest living Mesomaerican Immortals.

                • Here is one of the 3rd century Immortal women, who I found to be older than you thought...

                  Myrine of Paeonia

                  Known aliases : Timocleia of Thebes
                  Arachidamia of Sparta

                  Siege of Pyrrhus with Kyra of Sparta
                  Prior occupations : Warrior woman
                  Roster of Immortals Status : Missing
                  Date : 272 BC
                  Place : Pyrrhus
                  Victor : N.A
                  Watcher : Research, Southern Europe

                  Background
                  Original cultural affiliation : Greek
                  Born : 6th century BC, Kingdom fo Paeona
                  First death : 521-486 BC, Durign subjugation of
                  Paeonians by armies of Darius the Great
                  First teacher : Unrecorded
                  Known past associates : Deoneces of Sparta
                  First recorded sighting : 335 BC Thebes, Greece
                  During pillage of Thebes by Thracian army,
                  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, not 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.

                  Same thing for Achaxe of Sarmatia, way too old to be an 3rd century woman, cross-identified as Ara of Sarmatia.

                    • Another great list of names, dear Apollo, thank you. So far so good : our number are reaching 30 to 35 % female immortals on the overall Immortals population for each century. In the future, I hope we can push things forward and find more, reach a 40-45% ratio of immortal women identified by Watchers, depending on population growth and on the number of active players of the Game per century. Those would be acceptable number, depending on which region of the world we decide to explore (see map). There are regions of the world where more women are born than males, and yet we have 30% women of Immortals positively identified by Watchers, which remains extremely low.

                      And also find more Bronze Age immortals of both sexes.

                      Cheers!

                      • Thanks to your 4th century list, Apollo, I was able to find the origins of some characters with undetermined backgrounds.

                        Tangaki
                        Known aliases : Eumolpus of Aksum
                        Notable characteristics : Gregarious immortal,
                        never seen without his Nayangatom family
                        Weapon : Tribal spear, machete
                        Recorded kills : None known

                        Status
                        Most recent base of operations : Northern Ethiopia
                        Occupation : Nomad/pastoralist, living in mobile
                        livestock village, keeping a free target from
                        headhunters and feuding Ethiopian tribes
                        Prior occupations : Ditto, presumably
                        Roster of Immortals Status : Deceased
                        Date : 13 May 1975
                        Place : Nyangatom land
                        Victor : The Wolf of Ethiopia
                        Watcher : Research, Eastern Africa

                        Background
                        Original cultural affiliation : Nyangatom
                        Born : 4th century, Aksum Kingdom, Northern Ethiopia
                        First death : Tribal warfare, on the wrong end of a
                        Turkana trisbesman spear
                        First teacher : Sunda Kastagir
                        Known past associates : Sunda Kastagir
                        First recorded sighting : 1973. Northern Ethiopia
                        Encounter with Sunda Kastagir, told about the
                        Nyangatom by the Afar Clan women, investigated
                        his existence, found him to be a former disciple

                        Tangaki was warned by Sunda Kastagir about Immortals coming after his head, the Immortal had a good laugh. Why
                        would so-called Immortals want to take his head, and what kind of power ? He had lived for generations, couldn’t remember whern he was born and had seen his people grow old, and die, the young being born to grow old again and each time passing as a witch who was impervious to old age and injury. He didn’t have a care in the world, so why should he worry about othersof his kind ? The passioned Kastagir wisely chose to leave Tangaki to his business, after all he had chosen his own path and was happy with it. When the Chamelon of Eritrea challenged him, Tangaki chose to defend his village with his spear. But the Ethiopian Wolf was quicker than his spear and outmatched him. When she took his head, it was a short Quickening, it is obvious the Nyangatom never played the Game. But at least, he had lived a happier life than most Immortals could ever pretend to.

                        Background
                        Original cultural affiliation : Barabra Nubians
                        Born : 4th century, Kingdom of Nubia, Sudan
                        First death : Killed during foiled rape, the Berber
                        princess he attacked retaliated with her knife
                        First teacher : Neberfer, Brotherhood of Ra

                        Selling slaves to immortal Omar Fakroun

                        What huge man ! The lifelong hatred between Hussein Khali and Kashta of Nubia reached a boiling point when Hussein started trafficking women on Kashta territory, a city protected by the Nubian giant and while the giant can be gentle, his is a walking nightmare toward immortals who threaten the safety of mortals. Hussein the slaver and rapist drives Italian cars, wears armani, is a mundane immortal who surfs the net but even with a classy appearance, his is a murdering bastard who lived too long and Kashta finally killed him after investigating the slave-ring which saw the disappearance of his handsmaiden's daughter. The daughter's track led him to a complicated network running from
                        Caro and extending itself to countries of the Maghrebe and Westenr Africa. While Hussein's death won't prevent another slaver to take his plac,e at least that one is out of the Game.

                        Victor : Ceirdwyn, warrior in the armies of Cearl of
                        Mercia, Selyf ap Cynan and Iago ap Bel
                        Watcher : Research, the Chronicle of Ceirdwyn

                        Background
                        Original cultural affiliation : Cornovii
                        Born : 347. Cornoviorum, present Midlands of
                        England
                        First death : 367 Fighting invading Norsemen,
                        soldier i nthe First Cohort of Conovii
                        First teacher : Richomer of Dover
                        Known past associates : Richomer of Dover
                        Known ennemies : Ceirdwyn
                        First recorded sighting : 581. Kingdom of Deira,
                        Northern England. Warrior under King Aelfrith of
                        Bernicia, encounter with Richomer of Dover

                        Borwyn was a brute, a huge warrior of a man who pillaged and raped his way across Northumbria and was the product of his time : a brutal and barbaric immortal while Ceirdwyn had experienced the benefits of a civilized empire in Rome.Nearly two centuries after the fall of Rome, Ceirdwyn had to reinvent herself a a warrior-woman while never losing the benevolent side of herself, reflecting the wisdom and kidness of Boddicaea (aka Xanthia of Melitus). When she faced Borwyn, she stood her ground and faced what was to come. Sometimes In the Game, there is no choice, no moral ambfguity : you have to fight the fight and to take names.
                        From the Chronicle of Ceirdwyn

                        Notes : Early decline of the Cornovii appears to set in at Viroconium Cornoviorum, earlier than with many British cities which retain their prosperity until the time of the great barbarian attack of 367. Late in the same century, the only known British military unit, the First Cohort of Cornovii (Cohors Primae Cornoviorum), can be found serving at the Pons Aelius (Newcastle-upon-Tyne) garrison at the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall. By this time the five hundred-or-so men of the unit are probably under the command of Coel Hen of the 'kingdom' of Northern Britain.

                        Triying to seduce of the wives of Al-Ghawai Raif

                        When Rashid al-Qadir challenged Halis Ag Emoctar in the middle of Marrakesh's bazaar, the Persian warrior felt confident about he superiority of his blade, scoffing at the Tuareg immortal in blue robes. After the last song of the Muezzin had ended, both men began fighting : scimitar and main gauche against Tuareg longsword, two blades made of the purest steel clashing and wielded by fierce combattants.Both men being of equal streghts, the battle lasted for two hours, after both immortals had scoured the streets of Marrakesh, fighting and cursing each other. Then al-Qadir attempted a risky move against his opponent, hitting ground, using his left hand to prevent his fall, and his right hand to strike at the heart of the dragon; a move that allowed him to take the head of Mehmet Osman twenty years ago but didn't work against the Tuareg. Rashid al-Qadir fought well and was removed from the Game when he least expected it. This is the way of Allah the misericordious.

                          Chang, the top-assassin of the Far East specializing in political assassinations was in Seoul to murder a general of Soyuth Korea army - on the payroll of North Korea - after having savored the irony of murdering a North Korean politician while of the payroll of South Korea. Chang was an immortal who liked irony, 'the salt of immortality' as he called it; if there was a ruthless opportunitic, that was Chang. While in Seoul, Chang sought some rest and recreation in a popular tavern of the city's centertown where he attended the show of a local dancing woman. The woman turnout to be an immortal, so far unlisted in our chronicles. Chang, ever the opportunist, hunted the young woman after her show and took her out; this wasn't a fight, the poor woman didn't carry a sword at the time of her death. A merciless execution, but you could see hatred in the eyes of the cold Chang who rarely let slip any feelings from his cold demeanor. Here was a man with scores to settle with women as his 'dispute' with his foster mother Kellistra may attest.

                              tumultous romance with Angus MacFadden

                              Black Margaret sought the legendary Masamune katana belonging to the late Take Ne of Alexandria, now in the possession of his student, Connor MacLeod. Margaret offered a tidy sum of money to the Highlander for the sword, but MacLeod stubbornly refused. Margaret offfered her Moorish sword in ecchange, but MacLeod is a stubborn immortal. She must have wanted it a lot, because she finally threatened MacLeod’s wife with a fate worse than death if MacLeod didn’t hand her the katana. This got MacLeod very angry. He sent his wiffe back in the house and challenged Black Margaret. Margaret laughed but she saw she had no choice. The fight was very brutal, MacLeod put all his strengh, his soul and his love for bonny Heather in the fight and in the end, stood victorious, Margaret falling to her knees.
                              I didn’t expect MacLeod to take the head of the Moorish woman. It was a powerful Quickening. It scared poor Heather and put the fire to the barn, but you could see the love of the mortal woman for her husband, and how much in awe she was before the Quickening, though she did witness one once, when the Kurgan beast murdered Ramirez. Helping the Highlander to his feet, Heather embraced her husband and together, they buried the fallen Moor.

                                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-Tsiang, Stein decided to research the existence of the strange Amestris and of her city when he was sixteen years from achieving 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 (aka Immortal Tosh Ivarsson), 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.

She recounted how she mourned the passing of her husband, Boris (aka Bors, no doubt) who fell by the axe of a ‘savage Viking’ (Silas) but mourned her absence of children even more, beign unable to be a mother herself, or only through adoption.

                                Siobhan of Cork was a good woman, one who hated the British who soiled and pillaged her land, killed the men of her country, raped its women and enslaved its children. This is why she led guerilla tacticts against the Brits killing countless soldiers and officers of the Queen, passing herself as a supernatural being with her ear-piercing shrikes and death masks, training her young warriors to do the same. The Banshees of Cork were eventually investigated by Maharbal of Carthage, at this time working for the English; Maharbal fought the Banshee, discovering his nature as an immortal, taking her out, silencing Siobhan forever.

                                The chronicles of Ben Said-al-Magribi report how in 868 he fought the forces of Count Vimara Peres during the first reconquista of Iberia by Spanish troops, the first attempt to repell Moorish occupation of the Iberian peninsula. Ben Said was in Northern Portugal, when in the middele of a heated battle he sensed the presence of one of his kind, a mercenary who introduced himself as Glismoda, a Suevi briefly listed on the roster of immortals in 468 when she fought Cristovao Bastos during the sack of Coimbra by the Suevi tribe. Glismoda was thought to have been killed by the Portuguese hero, but somehow lived four centuries before re-appearing as a soldier of Count Peres. The battle raged on, ending on a stalemate by the end of the day. The following evening, Ben Said and Glismoda faced each other as immortals are prone to do. Ben Said fought with the same vigor and passion he bestowed on the Portuguese army and won against the Suevi warrior, taking her raw power and battle instinct; the following day, Ben Said won another victory when his army successfully defeated the army Count Vimara Peres.

                                    one-hundred and seventy men, locked in a sealed
                                    vault for three hundred years

                                    First recorded sighting : 750. Kingdom of Turpan
                                    Found asleep in a cave by Zhou Tong who made
                                    of Fooxin a master assassin at his service

                                    As with Pharaxes, Fooxin Hu was another one of Maharbal’s villains who was entombed for centuries before being freed. Their own hellish Phantom Zone, driven insane after centuries spent alone in the darkness, in a state of half-life. Already insane upon First Death, Fooxin was found by Master assassin Zhou Tong who took her to his service and taught her the rules of immortal life, but soon found out she was an uncontrollable character. He was forced to send her away, preferring to concentrate on another project of his, five immortal assassins under his control (see Poison Clan chronicle). Left alone, Fooxin Hu became free to become the serial assassin she dreamed of being, fending for herself in the Game with her Ten fingers and palm technique she used on countless men, and presumably on her fair share of immortals.
                                    The she met up with Maharbal of Carthage, travelling ot the Orient by the end of the 14th century, frensh from warring against the Golden Horde of the Khans, and tried her technique on him. Maharbal turned the table on her and dispatched her forever.

                                      Talharqa and Qalharta were a deadly husband-and-wife duo of remorseless killers, opportunist cultists staging cults across the world, in manners fitting the countries they settled in : followers of Anugbis in Egypt, Voodoo in the Carribean and Western Africa, Aztec followers in Latin America, snuff pornographers in Ciudad Juarez, followers of Kali in India and who knows were else. Each time they killed, they shared the power of theri victim.

                                      They must have killed dozens of Immortals those two, in each part of the world they started a cult, gathering followers who would kidnapp previously identified Immortals and bring them to their coven where Kaneptah and Khemistos would kill them, sharing the Quickenings, with their public in awe in front of their power over lightnings, never questioning the transfer of energy. They started as an Anubis cult in 898, killing Immortals from Egypt and Nubia; in New Orleans during the late 18th century (1768-1790); then more Immortals in Ciudad Juarez from 1983 to 1992. There are a lot of missing Immortals in the chronicles, we suspect them of having murdered people from pre-Columbian America, Carribean, Southern Asia, especially India; also in the jungles of Thailand and Cambodia.

                                      Finally Kashta of Nuia and Sit-hathor Iunet got to them last September, havng followed theri trails since the Angkor Vat massacre of 1953, two dozen mortal followers killed in mass suicide, as it is the case when they decide to leave for another part of the world. More Immortals from Cambodia reported missing. But this time, they didn't have the time to kill more, Kashta was watching from afar and finally tracked them down to their lair. So stupid of them to leave tracks.
                                      So stupid to live like vampires, sleeping by day, living by night. Not even good with swords, they never bothered with giving a fair fight to the Immortals they killed. A long last, their reing of terror is over.

                                        Meeting Hugh Fitzcairn, rebuked his advances

                                        That woman didn't know her place, no sir, and she wouldn't even look at me in the eye when I talked to her, as if I was some commoner barely worth tending to her gardens. But old Slocum is no goose and knows how to recognize a woman who doesn't know her place.
                                        She wasn't much of a Christian either, giving all sorts of talk on how women should dispose of their bodies freely and do as they please. Well, I couldn't accept it, no way. At least, Myra Clinton was kind to me, my sweet lady. But that's not the kind of talk a Watcher may use.
                                        I would like to ask re-assignement, dear Sir, since that English monk came into town yesterday night, to show Ms Pembroke her true place in the world and in the Game.

                                        Cordially,
                                        John Slocum
                                        September 1969

                                        From the Record of the Tribunal
                                        14 November 1869

                                        In the matter of the dismissal of John L. Slocum, the Tribunal ruled to uphold the decision of Slocum's Area Supervisor to dismiss with prejudice on the grounds of gross incompetence and negligence. The Tribunal agrees that the initial allegations that Mr. Slocum had physical relationships with and/or contributed to the deaths of his assignments, Myra Clinton and Roberta Pembroke, cannot be proven from the evidence presented.
                                        However, the evidence does clearly indicate that Slocum falsified Watcher records and, in one instance, destroyed a Watcher Chronicle. Both of these are gross offences in the eyes of the Tribunal and are grounds for dismissal with prejudice. And, in light of his contemptible behavior before this Tribunal, the Tribunal reminds Mr. Slocum that he will be Watched for an undisclosed number of years. Should he attempt retaliation or betrayal of this organization in any manner, he will again face the Tribunal, this time under the charge of Treason. He should need no reminder that the penalty for Treason is death.

                                        who taught her the rules of Immortality

                                        Huan Mulan spent some time as protégé of Kumari Simati, an opium den manager of Kalkota located in the city’s Chinatown. Not a bad woman, Kumamri rejected the violence of the Game but was blind to her mortal husband’s taste for young girld. When Surrendra put his hand on Huan during the night, the Chinese immortal stabbed him and left him for dead. Kumari alerted by her husband’s scream for help tried to stop Huan but found her kitten was a tigress in disguise. Huan decided Kumari should have protected her and needed her punishment, which she gave to her, immortal-style.

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, the Solomon woman 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.

                                        her husband as their son

                                        Brigitta yearned for a child of her own and when she found Bossart on the streets of Atwerp, beging in rags, she took him under her roof and made him a part of her family, as if he was her own. Unfortunately, Bossart was a killer locked in the body of a child and he had located Brigitta long ago, posing as a beggar in the street near her house. Soon, he was fed and clothed in her house, but didn’t get on well with her husband Jan who suspected something oddd about the ‘child’, he spoke too much like an adult. When Brigitta found the dead boy of her husband in the garden she screamed in despair, so wracked in grief she didn’t sense the little killer coming after her head. And soon her short chronicle was finished.

                                          • Thank you Apollo. Good new list of names. How do you decide on which name you are going to pick for the new lists ? Do you have a master plan in mind or are they at random. The woman from Volga Bulgaria has a very interesting to tell, in relation to the Kurgan and Darius. The chronicles I posted are updated bios of women with previously undetermined background. Some of the names you gave me are brand new characters, others I linked them to those previously created characters.

                                            • Gudbjorg She-Wolf
                                              Already in your files under a different names, but we already have a ferocious Viking woman. So I kept the new name and discarded the previous one.
                                              I also updated the birth date.

                                              Background

                                              identified as Kronos
                                              Known past associates : Kronos
                                              First recorded sighting : 1015. Nesjar, Norway
                                              Heiress to the throne of Olaf Haraldsson, actually
                                              Olaf’s mistress with pretense of becoming ruler of
                                              Norway after his death

                                              In 1015, Ceirdwyn proved herself a worthy student of Xanthiaof Melitus and General Cosntantine as she led the army of Sveinn Hakomason at the battle of Nesjar. This time, she faced another warrior-princess such as her, Thea Hovik, disciple of Viking warrior and plunderer Kretarno (see Kronos chronicle) who centuries later who cause harm to Ceirdwyn’s first teacher. How the world of immortality is small, how connected are those immortals ! Thea challenged Ceirdwyn and fought her like a she-devil, while Ceirdwyn was like a tomcat.
                                              Thea had the pretense of ruling Norway after the death of her lover, King Olaf Haraldsson, and convinced him to let her lead his armies in warfare. She did hold her own against Ceirdwyn, but after a long, strenuous battle, lost her head and King Haraldsson had to find himself another consort and anotehr general.

                                              From the Chronicle of Ceirdwyn

                                                Not a specific master plan in general, but for each era I like a good mix of Immortals across as many cultures as possible, although sometimes the dominant cultures will have more representatives. As will the denser population centres such as empires and larger kingdoms.

                                                • Good reasoning from your part Apollo. More chronicles will come this week. After consulting my lists, I find myself with need for more women : 12 for the 16th century please. You really seem to enjoy your research as much I as enjoy writing around those Immortals ! Btw, did Apollo2 finish writing his immortals epic ?
