    Thanks for the Sean Burns chronicle.

      her worthy of his axe

      Jinny Dall thought she’d get her revenge when she confronted Kanwulf in Leverburgh, four hundred years after he raped her and left her broken in the outer hebrides. This is a strong woman who prepared herself to face her tormentor and trained like crazy to finally face him. Unfortunately, her demons drover her mad and when finally it was time to face her own private demon in the flesh, her resolve faltered. She saw the once proud viking plunderer reduced to a hollow shell of the man, a madman looking for his treasured axe. But Kanwulf is like Jinny Dall, he never forget to tie up loose ends and when he saw how the apt fighter Jinny Dall was, he picked his sword and gave her the fight she wanted.
      Sometimes, you must be careful what you wish for : you may get it and also get a sword through your neck.

        • Thank you for those names, I hope you like what follows...

          As the children told themselves to Olympe and Jason, they were recruited by Galien and Hekate to hunt those of their kind since the start of the migrant crisis and were given a taste of the Quickening when Hekate killed off an Immortal and allowed the children to share the fallen Immortal’s life essence, making them addcted tot the surge of power. Under the influence of Galien and Hekate they hunted those of their kind and killed at least six Immortals from Middle Eastern countries and Southern Europe before landing in Cyprus. Jason and Olympe were going to be their next quarries.
          The three elder boys only complied to protect the two young girls who themselves lived through the horrors of war and sexual slavery and became hollow shells, desperate for nurturing and protection. The Cyprus Child Pack makes up a close-knit little family but they are still children – hardened killers, but children nonetheless, not yet corripted by age and experience on the Immortal scene. Jason and Olympe feel that under the proper guidance, the children may have a chance of living of the next few decades, if only the boys could learn to curb their more aggressive tendancies. The Game doesn’t need anotehr Kenneth or another roving pack like the Coyoteros in Mexico.

            With her past experiences as healer during the centuries of plague and cholera, Grace felt her place was in Haiti, helping the dying ans sick as she did with the victim of the Desert War here in Iraq. She took the first plane for Paris, then Port-au-Prince where she expect to be welcomed by the medical team working there.

            Diane Cox, November 2010

            Looking at Ann's number of kills over the six centuries of her immortal life, one might wonder about the number of battles she fought between 1419 and 1658, compared to the few heads she took since the 17° Century. "Grace Chandel" wasn't alway the peaceful healer she has been in her pre-immortal life and for the last four centuries. After having been so violently put to death by her fellow villagers in 1402, Ann underwent a sort of epiphany and came to the realisation that maybe she was wrong to keep being such a benevolent woman in such a dark, opressing and violent world. Her mentor, Charles of Strasbourg, did nothing to put her back to her past ways as he taught her of how vicious, unforgiving and cold the mortal world was; this being nothing compared to the dog-eat-dog world of the Game.
            Faced to the reality of her immortality, Ann knew she had no choice other than be a fearsome player of the Game, a ruthless opponent to all those who would take her head. And so a healer was gone, replaced with a cunning mercenary woman, squiring Charles of Strasbourg as well as servicing him in bed. then one day, after two centuries of surviving the Game and painting several parts of Europe with the blood of immortal and mortal men, Ann met Darius the immortal monk in Paris. Darius sensed the darkness in the immortal woman, but also sensed the good that still was part of her and resolved to get her out of her "dark age". The cynical Ann didn't listen to Darius at first but then he asked for her help when his servant went into a complicated labor, needing the aid of a midwife.
            Ann was a mercenary, but she hadn't forgotten her medical science, and thus a beautiful baby was born in Paris, the 17th of October 1658. With the child's birth and conversations with Darius, Ann the midwife was re-born. She laid down her sword and took back the mantle of a doctor.

            Montpellier and his student, Bastian Barjuan,
            identified as a new Immortal

            The mysterious figure called Nanny of the Maroons was once thought to be a past identity of Marie Laveau, a well-known figure of New Orelans’s immortal scene, but she was confirmed as her own person by Doctor Benjamin Adams in Switzerland, during his wild party with Lord Byron in 1816. So a proper chronicle was patched up for her, and after extensive research who could link her to her encounter with Captain Jacques Montpeller and to her playing hide n’seek with immortal Luther in Jamaica, during the anti-British riots of 1884. If Luther hunted her, it is possible she possessed a fragemtn of the legendary Stone of Methuselah, and was thus a past disciple of Xanthia of Melitus, we are not sure, this is a working hypothesis. Nanny has been missing since 1884, she in likelihood still lives on the island, unless she followed the Jamaicandiaspora is is living somewhere in Central America, or in the US territory.

            After nearly two hundred years of running for his live, of vigilantism, of fighting for his life and of dabbling in politics, Carl has settled for a well-deserved break, here in Halifax, where he trains young base-ball players, trying to find a normal life. He even has a girlfriend, Rose, who strongly suspects something is amiss about her lover but cannot imagine he really is an acient negro slave prone of taking heads when challenged to a fight. Carl has a good life, friends, I only hope it stays that way : not even Santo Domingo is safe from prawning headhunters.

            From the Records of the Tribunal

            Reporting on the activities of my predecesssor Eugene Carter, Carl Robinson’s Watcher, who was found to have attempted to murder his assignment, on behalf of James Horton’s ’clean-up squad’. Carter was n agent of Horton and was sent after the immortals of Seattle, WA. There is no doubt he intended to take on Jackson Trent and Oshawn Pepper, but he chose Carl first. Carl killed the cop in legitimate
            defense and was forced to leave Seattle in a hurry, not taking the time to investigate Carter’s tattoo on the man’s wrist. Good for us. Or we would have faced another vengeful immortal bent on killing Watchers !

            After his First Death, Derek Worth found his calling in life, to serve God on Earth and do his bidding until the time of the Gathering, when the last Immortal standing will receive the Prize. Fortunately this isn’t a Game-aggressive Immortal like Damon Case : Worth knows how to enjoy the simple joys in life and consider the idea of taking the head of a fellow Immortal to be a sin : why destroy the work of God ? Immortals are like any creature on Earth, made by God and killing each other is not only a great injustice, it is also the profanation of God’s work on Earth. He has an interesting reasoning, he is a Christian at heart, but his views of Immortality aren’t truly realistic and I do hope his faith won’t be put to the test in a too harsh fashion by the next Immortal prawning for prey. After all, Derek Worth could be the next Darius, assuming he lives to be 2,000 years old.

            Student of Henry of Kent

            Alvarez loves women. He adores them. He can't get enough of them. Blondes, brunettes, redheads; white, black, brown, oriental. All kinds. And they adore him. His silvery tongue has seduced many a high-born or low-born female into his bed (or theirs!). But he is no rat; far from it. He lavishes them with gifts and affection and treats them like precious jewels, even after he's broken up with them! In fact, he claims he never breaks up with a woman, "they are always in my heart."
            And the women don't seem to complain, in fact, after seven centuries his skills in the bedroom seem to keep the women happy and as long as he "indulges" their needs, they appear to be satisfied. I wish we mere mortals were so lucky...!
            But don't let his lotherio reputation fool you, for Alvarez is one of Henry of Kent's celebrated students. He will not tolerate violence of any kind against the women he adores so much, and rapists he loathes so much that he has been known to castrate them and leave them to bleed to death!
            Roman Alvarez has even notched up an impressive list of female Immortals who have sampled his wares, with no complaint from any of them! Frances Drummond, Lang Quing, Alex Raven, Kyra and Amanda have all "banged the headboard" with Roman the Romeo.
            But to concentrate on his obsession with females would be to do him a disservice, for he is a superb swordsman (as all proteges of Henry of Kent are) and a moral man, spending most of his life determined to bring law and order to the mortal world and killing the occasional headhunter who happens to offer a challenge.

Roman Alvarez made clear to hisr new student how dangerous immortals are and forced the yougn Spaniard into constant training, before securing him into the care of hios former lover, May-Ling Shen. Between the teachings of Roman and May-Ling, Ajan Alvear has now the tools to become one of the best champions of the Immortals World : not only a gifted translator in the UNO, but also an acomplished swordsman, he ought to make it till the end of the Immortals War.

            From the Records of the Tribunal :

            Swenja Baatz and Lootje De Groot are the female version of Lymon Kurlow and Peter Matlin, two women, not lovers, just companions sticking together throughout their immortality, but like Matlin and Kurlow, living on the wrong side of the law. Adenaline junkies, they live for what they can get away with. Their philosophy is: want, take, have; they take what they want and if anyone gets in their way, they kill them. To them, mortals are playthings; they use mortal men for sexual gratification and toss them aside when they are done, and avoid Immortal men whenever they can, killing those who interfere.
            Highwaywomen in England from 1742 to 1750, they were next seen as pirates in the Caribbean in 1766, encountered Sarah McLaughlin in 1768, and vanished when their ship was sunk by a British frigate in 1774. They became infamous female outlaws in the Old West as "Cat" Coolidge and "Sweet Lucy" Lawson from 1879 to 1888, where they were renowned for their stunning looks and quick guns, robbing stage coaches and the odd bank, coming onto the radar of Immortal US Marshalls Charles Mako and Matthew of Salisbury, but those two had bigger fish to fry in chasing down the murderous Theodo of Lombardy's quartet, so the duo of deadly women found themselves dodging the odd posse and mortal Marshall.
            From 1922 to 1928 they sold moonshine and dodged the law in Chicago and New York, but as the century passed they became more murderous in search of kicks, spending a few years seducing and marrying elderly rich men and then killing them for their wealth. They accumulated so much money they decided to live the high life and only surfaced again every decade or so when they got bored to go on the rampage again. By the early 1990's, Swenja and Lootje had spent ten years in Monte Carlo and on their yacht in the Mediterranean. They got bored again and decided to get back in the Game. This time, their MO was to rob staff and customers of isolated road side diners in California; riding up on motorcycles in leather and helmets and automatic weapons.

            The Chronicle of Swenja Baatz and Lootje DeGroot


            Ten years after their encounter with Amanda and Xanthia of Melitus that nearly ended with their death in 1635 - a harsh lesson for Swenja and Lootje - the two immortals belles found themselves in Bologna where they lived as socialites, seducing their way through the good society of Renaissance Italy. They were in their 'lying low' period, taking it easy, making some money after having married two rich men they had seduced out of their wits, causing an uproar as they were two foreign girls who barely cared about local customs.
            Those were scandalous woman indeed, who behaved as men - harsh talks, foxhunting, dressing in masculine clothes - and were womanizing scoundrels, quick-witted and prone to duelling with any who got in their way.
            Swenja's husband had three sons from a previous marriage : Antonio, Sebastian and Luigi. Antonio was cruel and wily, feared for his prowesses with the sword and his outmatched physical strenght. Sebastian was effeminate with also a cruel disposition and a penchant for beating his horse and whipping his dogs - all three beautiful beasts who deserved a better master.
            And there was Luigi the brave who had respect for human life, appreciated for his kindness and wisdom. All three were out of their teens, almost men, and were Swenja's sons-in-law.
            Lootje's husband was childless for he was a closet gay and never could honor any woman, let alone his ex-wife. Still he married Lootje who took pleasure in sharing her bed with a bisexual.
            One day, Antonio tried to assault his mother in law, which she clearly didn't appreciate and landed him on his feet, giving to him the kicking of his life.
            When Sebastian intervened, Swenja whipped out her knife and lacerated his face, leaving him with a permanent scar. The affair stayed hidden from their father, pretending everything was alright and that Sebastian had been in a nasty brawl with a male rival.
            But both men plotted their revenge, while Swenja and Lootje pondered on the closing days when they would have to leave their husbands; they grew old while they stayed young which soon became the talk of Bologna. And in a city like Bologna, when rumors of neveraging women runs rampant, can immortal trouble be far behind ?
            There was also the matter of Lootje's affair with brave Lugi, way out of his depth with the immortal woman, who had her kicks in teaching him pleasure beyond his his imagination and fell madly in love with Lootje, to the extant of picking fights with any man who would only so much speak to her.
            Antonio and his brother finally took revenge on Swenja and Lootje by having them poisoned with tea. The two women died in front of witnesses during an ill-timed tea party and woke up in the family's vault. They knew they had to leave, with only so much a horse and whatever clothes they had on the back. Understandably pissed off, they went to their sons-in-law home, posing as revengeful spirits, only to find out Luigi had murdered them both in revenge for the death of Lootje and had killed himself, unable to bear life without his paramour.
            Lootje and Swenja robbed the house, taking whatever valuables and money they could, scaring the servants and doing quite a fracas. Then they left.

            Found by pirate captain Drake Kolari

            Quani Colotl has been conclusively identified as a past disciple of Drake Kolari, a pirate captain scourging the seven seas during the 17th century, himself identified as the psychopathic, world-conquering Kronos, former leader of the Bronze Age Four Horsemen. In 1670 Kronos went into an exploration party in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, in search for the elsuvie Methos, rumored to have spent a few decades in Mesoamerica and found the Immortal posing as a demi-God naming himself Quani Colotl. Colotl reigned over an empire extending over the centerpoint of Mexico and had an habit or sacrificing virgins to the feathered-god Quetzcoatl, something he had been doing since at least the 13th century. Quani Coatl wasn’t aware there were others of his kind until the days of Spanish conquest of Mexico, and faced others of his kind, possibly among them Ottavio Consone.
            Kronos found a soul brother in Colotl and helped him expand his horizons beyond Mexico, explaining the traces of Quani's cults all over Latin America, going so far as establishing a mission in South Florida were two hundred people comitted a mass suicide on his behalf, mirrorring the horrors of Jim Jones' cult.
            Quani Colotl is active again in Mexico, and left a trail of decapitated bodies all across Latin America for centuries, playing the Game in his own twisted fashion : all his victims are sacrificed to his God before beign beheaded. Quani hopes to become "the one", although we do hope mankind doesn't become enthralled by a half-mad servant of Quetzacoatl.

            Re : Quani Clotle Chronicle, cross-ref. Drake Kolari

            Cross-referencing the chronicles of Drake Kolari as well as the encounter of Quani Coloth with other Immortals allow us to expand his Chronicle.

            Captain Drake Kolari has been known as a savage leader of men, cruel and cunning, brutish, lacking however the psychological skills needed to plan efficent raids and aften met defeat by the swords of swahbucker such as Captain Valicourt, the Bloody Baron of the Carribean or Sarah MacLaughlin, a student of Amanda who became the most infamous pierate chieftain in history along with Ann Bonny and Mary Read. Kolari was a cruel man with a long, flowing mane and a distinctive scar marring his face. He led a band of killers in his raid on merchant ships and coastal cities but none had the qualities he sought in his men : blind obedienc,e total loayalty and a taste for utter terror. Those men were illiterate scoundrels who knew nothing of the world and it disgraced him as he confessed to Quani Colotl. In Quani Colotl he found a true soul mate, a heartless man who udnerstood the need to rule over manking, to instill fear in the heart of men so any people facing him would either bow theri head or face certain doom. This is the manner Quani dealt with
            being a God, by patterning himself after Kronos, leader of the fabled Four Horsemen.

            The Chronicle of Swenja Baatz and Lootje DeGroot

            From the Records of the Tribunal
            The origins of Lootje De Groot
            Watcher Research, Western Europe

            Born in the Groningue province of Netherlands, Lootje was an orphan girl raised by catholic nuns in an orphanage where older girls taught her a few tricks of the fingers to steal what she needed (food, things a girl would like) and of the tongue for their own nightly enjoyments. When puberty hit off, Lootje was a quite savy teenage girl who turned the hair of the mother superior white with worry.
            A troublemaking vixen. Amanda, anyone ?
            And when her girlfriends' menstrual cycles came and went, surprise, Lotje didn't get anything. No blood. No cramps. She was barren. The mother superior found out and thought she would never made a proper bride at
            eighteen, unable to carry children - not that Lootje minded. Finally at eighteen, Lootje was given away to a mortal from Winschoten who took her away and married her anyway. He found her beautiful and what if she couldn't bear any children ? He didn't care.
            As soon as Lootje was married, she embarked on a life of adventures and pleasures in the city of Winschoten until her cuckolded husband finally disowned her and kicked her out of his home. Lootje was forced to move to the bigger city of Gronigue where she made a living as a courtesan with whatever money she stole from her ex-husband. It was a good life, all things considered, until the
            Counter-Remonstrant unrest of 1617 when she was taken in mob violence and was killed by mercenary troops in charge of taming the riots.

            When fortune smiles upon a girl like Lootje and allows her to find a soul-sister like Swenja of Nuremberg, it is the proof that the Game is also made of good surprises and can give relief from the dom and gloom routine of immortal life.
            Swenja was robbing a jewel store in the city when the riot erupted and sensed the presence of Lootje as she laid dead in the street, ready to awaken; investigating the matter - but quick ! The store was robbed, the jewels were in her purse - Swenja found the terrified Lootje being assaulted by the waardelegers, and that Swenja couldn't allow it.
            There was no way she would allow a fellow immortal to go through the horrors of gang-rape. She dispatched the pack of rapists with much kicking, screaming and
            disembowellement before helping the scared and confused Lootje to her feet.
            'Come with me if you want to live forever' she said and the two girls ran as fast as they could.

            When Swenja gave 'the talk' to Lootje in a tavern of Branthe, Lootje was befuddled. She never believed the wild tale of Jesus on his cross multiplying loaves of bread and when hit on the left jaw she used to respond in kind; she could accept that men and women could live on forever - between Jesus, Lazarus and the tale of Saint-Germain she was well-versed in immortality - and that
            someday one of them would receive a Prize (sort of like heaven ? she asked. No one knows for sure, said Swenja).
            She could accept the swordfights - hey, 17th century was the Renaissance of swordfighting - but Quickenings ? Freak storms giving you power beyond belief ?
            Beheadings ? There were people ready to take her head... and she had to take theirs before they did ? Whew.
            Lootje was born and raised a practical girl, she always needed to check everything before believing. 'To see is to believe' she used to say to her husband who told of his prowesses in bed but could barely hold his own in bed.

            Lootje didn't mind never giving birth (she had seen enough botched labors to give her nightmares for a lifetime) and after having been branded as barren she
            had been cast out by most of her so-called friends at the orphanage.
            Swordfighting was another thing, but Swenja taught her how much fun it could be when a woman got rid of her dresses, put on trousers and walked around freely;
            she taught her to read and speak German, Italian, French, a little Greek, English, some Polish; develloped her knowledge of Europe's history. Swenja told her of Holy Grounds, of the legends surrounded them : of how men who killed in churches or in cemeteries vanished like smoke, of immortals who had turned crazy after killing one immortal too many.
            Of the tricks seemingly harmless immortals can use in the Game : immortal children and women could do very well, she assured Lootje. Then she told her about her life, about how she had learnt to stop worrying and love the immortal world, love the Quickenings, love men and their folly, how she discovered sexuality could be a means to utterly manipulate men and that men were weak creatures led by their loins and that it was women who led the world, after all. 'Lootje, she told her, the world is our playground, all we have to do is eat the fruits of immortality and live on happily forever'.
            'And don't forget, she added, avoid immortal men when you can, because they are way too strong for us, but if you can't... attack is the best defense, so choose your ground, bare your sword and face what is to come. Woman or man, it is the same thing. Just gor for it and reap your reward : a good Quickening !'

            After this, Lootje and Swenja left for Germany where they stayed a few years before Swenja's wanderlust infected Lootje and they decided to travel in earnest.

            Few immortals were like Tsaganis, surviving though the centuries, playing the Game, moving silently though the centuries. An handicap is already a difficult thing to live with for a mortal : blindness, deafness, missing a limb are things that tamper with your life, that mess with you and can break you easily if you aren't a strong person. And it is all the more difficult - if not impossible - to live with when you are an immortal with strangers coming after your head. There are not a lot of them. Kenny, the Von Arlon children, Maria Vaccaro, Joe Muhamad. A few others whose immortality was triggered past their prime.
            Tsaganis trained with oriental teachers and found the ability to deflect physical attacks using the manner his Quickening interacts with other immortals' Qs. Easy to doge a sword, to bling an opponent with pepper spray and to quickly take a head with his sword hidden in his cane. Clean, quick and swift

            Juanita Vasquez has been an overachiever for most of her life, since the days of the Mexican Revolution as a lover of Pancho Villa. She killed scores of Immortals i nthe Game, dished out justice and retribution when needed, punishments when deserved and made a point of beign the best sword in Mexico, finding the inner strenght to vainquish all odds i nthe Game in spite of her small stature. Once a rape victim herself, she foudn the strengh to vainquish her fear, her shame and to come after the perpetrator, killing him and avenging the dozen other women he raped in the 1930's. With Yolanda Vargas she found a soul sister and both women became the Thelma and Louise of the Immortal scenery. When the Immortal War came, Juanita Vasquez had no fear in her heart, fear was a dragon she put down a long time ago. And now that the Gathering is at hand, Immortals rumored to go exctinct during the next decade, Juanita intends to face the sword with her name on it and to make sure she goes out wth a smirk, a joke and a bang.

            Subject : Immortal found on burial site

            Diggins on a burial site dating back to 1700 AD has allowed the finding of a decapitated squeletton with a sword nearby. The sword, a greek hoplite rapier, was perfectly preserved and the fact that Baldoni paled when he found the sword seems to indicate he knew the man buried. Obviously these are the remains of an immortal, a possible past acquaintance of Baldoni. I suggest we launch reserch to find which immortals lost a battle in Athens around the 18th century so we can put a name on this squeleton.

            With Carlo’s death, it would be a good manner to honor his memory by finding the name of the immortal he found during his last work on the immortal scene

            Finally the dark angel of poetry, the greatest poet of the immortal world has re-appeared on Watcher scope after nearly two hundred years, since his diseappearance during the Greek's uprising against the Ottoman Empire. The legendary disciple of the elusive Methos and close associate of Deoneces and Kyra of Sparta was thought long-dead, killed in the Game or during the Immortals War. We should have known better. Deoneces and Kyra always looked after their friends and close associates and certainly made sure Byron lived a quite, discreet life away from the prying eyes of the Watdchers and of the mortal world.

            Today, he his back on stage in Chihuahua, Mexico, as a musician and writer of poetry. He has discarded his addictions to opium and cocaine and looks forward to a future where he needn't be afraid of agressive headhunters anymore, concentrating on his music and preparing an album of songs and another one of instrumental music, describing the wild tales of legendary Corsican heroes. This is a good life.

            27 November 2012

            The final battle of slaver Morgan Walker against Methos, aka Adam Pierson, allowed to cross-identify the elusive immortal as Doctor Benjamin Adams of New Orleans, an immortal who travelled from North America to Western Europe - France and Switzerland - where he took the name of Doctor Polidori.
            In Switzerland, Adams befriended a trio of English poets, Lord Gordon Byron, Percy Bysse Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley who became the author of the infamous novel 'Frankenstein, the Modern Prometheus', thus eclipsing her husband's poetry with her prose. The inspiration for the novel came from two incidents in her life : the first being the death of her infant daughter, the second the death of her friend Byron accidentally hit by lightnings during a freak storm during the quatuor's stay in Geneva where Mary wrote her novel.

            Percy, Mary and 'Polidori' brought their friend's body in their home but were warned by Polidorito not call a doctor; 'our friend shall awake soon', he said. Disbeliving, the Shelleys were amazed to see Byron's body move convulsively with him screaming in pain as he awoke from his First Death. The fascinated friends listened in awe to Polidori's tales of immortals walking the eartth for centuries, fighting until only one remains, coming back from the dead time and time again. Polidori confessed her was Benjamin Adams from New Orleans and that he originally fled one of his kind, he also confessed he was thousands of years old and that indeed, the Wandering Jew and the fabled Saint-Germain existed as immortals and that many of folk tales and stories of dead people reviving were true.

            Mary became so inspired by Byron's resurrection that she found in her the story of Frankenstein : a man seeking the secrets of life, who would bring immortality to the living,; a creature born from lightnings and ceaselessly tormented by his unique condition. Polidori / Adams made her swear she would disguise herstory as a work of fiction, which she did.
            But we know the truth : the Modern Promotheus is Lord Byron; and iindeed he became so during the Grek War of Independance when he swore he would bring freedom to the peopleof the Balkans and participated in the Greek's rebellion against the Ottoman Empire. It is likely Polidori / Methos may have introduced Byron to Deoneces and Kyra of Sparta who accepted any help they could get, and graciously invited the poet in their covenant.
            June 1825 saw the siege of Messolonghi with Deoneces, Kyra and Byron defending the city against the Ottomans; Byron disappeared during those terrible days, but is believed to be still living somewhere, bringing the fire of knowledge to mortals as he always yearned to do.

            ADDENDUM

            Lord Byron has been known to be married to a prude woman who bore him several children and was rumored to have never cheated on her husband, thus calling in question his immortality. Immortals are a sterile species. Actually, Byron’s wife was a hypocryte who cheated on her husband on more than one occasion and always claimed her pregnancies were the fruits of Byron’s amourous ardor; she disguised her scandalous ways under the pretense of being a chaste, God-fearing woman but was called ‘the whore of Byron’ behind her back.

            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.

              Greece. Methos sought to introduce his student to
              a poet friend of his, but found him murdered

              One of the survivors of the Trojan War and a disciple of Methos himself according to Bronze Age era chronicles, not much is known about the Rhapsode other than an epic tale in the shape of a long poem telling the story of the Trojan War as a tall tale, not unlike Homer’s novel. Though Homer never mentioned the presence of Immortals other than Achilles the invicible hero. Tithonus wrote his epic describing and confirming the presence of Immortals alongside Odyseeus and Achilles and how he was himself mentored by an ancien hero who rode out to the sun with a band of thieves and cutthroats I have no fear identifying as the legendary Four Horsemen, however apocryphal their existence may be. Methos is an urban legend, so are his former companions. In 292 BC, Tithonus expected a visit from Methos and his new disciple, Katherine of Samaothrace but the Immortal who visited him first wasn’t in the mood for a social call.
              In retrospect, could Tithonus’ killer have been a companion of Methos looking for his long-lost brother in arms ?

                Background
                Original cultural affiliation : British
                Born : 1970; Brighton England
                First death : 1980, Murdered by Ronnie Rodgers
                who hoped to keep him young forever
                First teacher : Helen Bondeville, SIS
                Known associates : SIS, Sean Burns, Thalia
                First recorded sighting : 1990. London, England
                Victim of pedophile Ronnie Rodgers, found and
                mentored by the Secret Immortals Services

                Gavin Cummings holds on his cuddlebear the same way an old Immortal clutches to his beloved sword, his sole friend in existence. The Secret Immortals Services warned him of adult Immortals coming after his head. The already frightened, abused child saw his confidence in the adult world nearly destroyed and it took two years for Doctor Sean Burns to give him a bit of self-confidence and faith in humanity so he didn't turn as bad as Kenneth.
                Carolyn Mortimer, Sean Burns’ disciple, gave him therapy, the London Immortals taught him to use speed, reflexes and to use his brain in the Game before sending him for a few years in peace on the island of Jersay (a dependancy of the British crown) to be bodyguarded by Thalia. Thalia is a professional nanny and bodyguard, she has been securing children from wealthy socialites for two thoussands years and she could never foster a child of her own, between her duty and the Game. She married several times, fostered the natural children of the men she married but she could never bear one of her own. With Gavin she found a son. Gavin wants to be left alone, to never have to face another Immortal like the one who molested him and Thalia has her needs.
                Sean Burns asked Gavin if he would sacrifice his freedom over his safety. Gavin said he would do everything to never get hurt again. This is a victim of kidnapping, raised from early infancy by a pedophile who secluded him for the world in an environment where he thought he was safe until the day the bastard started abusing him. The abuse lasted five years before he was freed. The two immortals have engaged into a mutually satisfying relationship but one where they live in a shelter, safe from the world, from the Gathering.

                First death : 87 BC, Killed with household of

                Student of Titus Marconus

                Thalia was sold by her family into slavery when she was ten years old to pay off her father’s debts. She was lucky enough or unlucky enough to land in the household of Pontius Sulla. There she found the love and affection that had been so lacking in her own family amongst the other household slaves. And she and Pontilla, Sulla’s daughter, became close friends. It was here that Thalia thought to end her days caring for Sulla’s household. But fate and Roman politics changed all that, when Sulla opposed Marius and Cinna for control of Rome. Not only was Sulla killed but the whole family as well as all the slaves were brutally slaughtered by Marius’s men. Thalia awoke surrounded by corpses, before being spirited off by Titus Marconus to his country house. There she trained and took care of Titus’s household until his death in 74 BC. Upon his death Titus left some money to Thalia and she left <insert name> to go to Athens where she married a wealthy widower and took care of his five children. Her current position as Housekeeper to the Eldington family is eerily reminiscent of her early years. Lord Eldington has a seat in the House of Lords and she is Lady Eldington’s close confidante and advisor. She is firm but affectionate with the three Eldington children and she is fiercely protective of the entire family and will tolerate no threat to the family.

                • Another good chronicle for Gavin Cummings, although there's a discrepancy with Sean Burns being involved with him when Burns died in 1996 and Cumming's first recorded sighting wasn't until 2015.

                  Meanwhile here's the next SIS/Hellfire Club instalment:

                  1062 - Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex, launches an invasion of Wales, with his secret lover Elfrida of York, the infamous Evangeline Black, at his side, along with her latest band of Valkyries, a mix of Saxon and Viking orphans she personally trained. They raid Rhuddlan.

                  1063 - Harold captures Gwynedd. Elfrida bribes the soldiers of the Welsh prince Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, who murder him. The English receive tribute from northern Wales, although the south remains independent.

                  1064 - On the advice of Elfrida, Harold Godwinson marries Ealdgyth, daughter of Aelfgar, Earl of Mercia, and widow of Welsh ruler Gruffydd ap Llywelyn. She is satisfied to continue her affair with Harold in secret.

                  Harold is then shipwrecked at Ponthieu, Normandy, and captured by Guy I, Count of Ponthieu. He is taken as a hostage to the count's castle at Beaugrain. Duke William arrives soon after with Richeard of Mercia and Alfgar of Winchester at his side and orders Guy to turn Harold over to him. Seizing an opportunity to set his long-term plan in motion, Richeard convinces Harold to accompany William into battle against the Duke's enemy, Conan II, Duke of Brittany.

                  When word reaches Elfrida that Harold has fallen into the clutches of Richeard and Alfgar, she rides to London to warn Deira, aka Aldrich Monk, despite their continued animosity. Certain that Richeard must be plotting revenge, Deira sends Saegar to Normandy with a small band of hand-picked warriors to rescue Harold. But Richeard had anticipated Deira's move and Alfgar and a company of Norman knights ambushed Saegar as he came ashore near Le Havre. Saegar's men were slaughtered by the Normans, while Saegar was no match for Alfgar and barely escaped with his head on his shoulders, stealing a horse and galloping to safety. He spent two weeks evading Alfgar's search parties before escaping on a ship at Cherbourg back to England.

                  Inconclusive fight between Alfgar of Winchester and Saegar Lightfingers, aka Sampson Brass, 1064

                  Richeard and Duke William convince Harold to swear an oath on sacred relics to support William's claim to the English throne.

                    Portuguese expedtion to Ethiopia

                    Watcher Research once mistook Theodore Zeleke for Sunda Kastagir but those are two different men with similar background and same incentive to free their people from opressive colonial rule. Kastagir is Malian, Zeleke is Ethiopian and has been confirmed as born in the 13th century while Kastagir was born in pre-Christ era in the Kingdom of Axum; both men share the same taste for foreign cultures, the same sense of adventuring, the same taste for gorgeous negro women and a knack at surviving the Game for centuries.
                    In 1867 Zeleke got in conflict against the Secret Immortal Services but Richeard of Mercia didn’t want the amiable Immortal’s Quickenign and turned the blind eye on his activities as resistance leader, letting him escape from the British colonial army with his men. Had it been Simon Killian or Steven Keane stationedin Ethiopia at this time, there is no doubt Zeleke would have been mercilessly slaughtered by a British saber.

                    Lifes does move in circles. Recent research in East African chronicles uncovered the occurrence of Iman Fasil stationed with the Ottomans in Eritrea where he tracked down and killed the leader of a resistance movement opposing Ottoman presence in Eritrea. The man Fasil killed was Tesmi Idris, an Immortal recorded as having been the mentor of Immortal Zerai Deres and a former disciple of Kashta of Nubia. Both men fought like lions, the fight ending with Idris’ death.
                    In 1937 Iman Fasil fought and killed Zerai Deres, at that ime a political lobbyist opposing the rise of fascism in Italy.
                    When Fasil took Deres Quickening, did he see the presence of Idris through Deres' memories ? Did he even care ?

                    In five hundred years of Immortality Eike Koubel has conciliated Immortal warfare (i.e the Game) and motherhood by raising entire crops of children on Holy Grounds, on the four corners of Hungary and beyong, no letting There Can Be Only One robbing her from the joys of motherhood and she chose carefully which men she would marry, disclose her secrets to and with whom adopting her own children. All of them were found in one village or another and there have been some among them who turned out Immortals themselves upon reaching adulthood or even earlier. Eike transmitted them values of courage, honesty, bravura and the love of their homeland and Magyar culture while teaching them to stand their grounds when the Magyar land was invaded, as she did in the 13th century when she faced Kane and a horde of Mongol plunderers. Kane was surprised to face a Magyar woman with a sword and he met defeat with cowardice running for his life, in fear of the savage witch ready to kill before allowing herself or one of her daughters to be raped or enslaved. Same thing with Bukarev in 1437 who had a hearty laugh when defeated and reconciled with his compatriot over mead and bread. Eike was last seen in 1437 but we had an inkling she lived a long an fruitful life, fostering her children and sometimes playing the Game to protect her clan.

                    Kian Zahed knew he was little more than an indentured servant of Melik Tanju but he knew little else than fighting for the Ottomans, was barely litterate and had only the Quran to guide him though his Immortal life.
                    With mentors such as Melik and Jamal Labouni he didn’t have much a chance of getting out of his Muslim life free and happy. Sure he longed to be reunited with his Irish roots but the life he had was better than no life at all, and so by not choosing to leave the Ottoman Empire he chose to stay and fight until the bitter end. Then he met Tudor Filipescu at the Siege of Vienna and for the first time was confronted with an Immortal willing to take his head in the name of the Game, an Immortal so intense in his behavior, who emitted such darkness that he got the scare of his life and his Watcher saw him running in fear, litterally.
                    He got lost during the siege, we are not too sure of his final fate. Was he found and killed by Filipescu, or punished by Melik Tanju for cowardice, we do not know. Or maybe he found a way to Ireland where he found some happiness for a time, however unlikely that may look.

                    • Apollo, I need eight new names : all Middle Eastern Immortals, I/3 female ratio as usual, all from pre-Christ era.
                      All from forgotten little places, I know you are a great specialist (wink!)

                      Thank you in advance
                      Cheers !

                      • Another great batch of chronicles there, my friend.

                        Meanwhile, here is the last instalment of the first era of the rivalry between Richeard of Mercia and Aldrich Monk:

                        1065 - As part of Richeard's long-term strategy, he sends Alfgar in secret to England. He stirs up rebellion in Northumbria and on 3rd October, the Northumbrian rebels capture York, outlaw Harold's brother, Tostig Godwinson, and choose Morcar of Northumbria as their new earl.

                        1066 - 5 Jan. King Edward the Confessor dies.

                        6 Jan. Harold Godwinson is chosen by the Witenagemot to be king over Edward's nephew Edgar the Aetheling, who is aged 15, betraying his oath to William of Normandy.

                        Alfgar returns to Normandy, meeting up with Richeard and informing him of Edward's crowning, which Richeard anticipated.

                        Elfrida and Ailef reconcile their differences in London in anticipation of Richeard's obvious next move.

                        20 Sept. Battle of Fulford: Harald III of Norway, accompanied by Tostig Godwinson, invades England and defeats the English forces led by Morcar of Northumbria and Edwin, Earl of Mercia, in Yorkshire.

                        25 Sept. Battle of Stamford Bridge: Ailef and Saegar fight with King Harold as he defeats and kills Harald III of Norway and Tostig. Elfrida remains in London in anticipation of Richeard's return.

                        28 Sept. William, Duke of Normandy, lands an invasion force near Pevensey. Richeard of Mercia and Alfgar of Winchester return to England after years in exile.

                        14 Oct. Battle of Hastings: William defeats and kills Harold. Richeard fights Ailef, while Alfgar battles Elfrida. Saegar remained in London. Richeard and Alfgar win their respective duels, but in the heat of battle, Ailef and Elfrida are able to flee the field. They join up with Saegar in London and then retreat north. Eadwulf, a Saxon in Harold's army, dies his first death and is found by Richeard and Alfgar, who mentor him and convert him to their cause.

                        Inconclusive fight between Richeard of Mercia and Ailef of Deira, aka Aldrich Monk, 1066
                        Inconclusive fight between Alfgar of Winchester and Elfrida of York, aka Evangeline Black, 1066

                        Adjustment:

                        Eadwulf
                        First teacher: Richeard of Mercia & Alfgar of Winchester

                        Fearful of Richeard's wrath and with no political cards to play, Ailef and Elfrida remove themselves from the board. They exile themselves to Iona Abbey off the west coast of Scotland, posing as clergy. Ailef changes his name to Aldrich the Monk (Aldrich Monk will become his better known name), Elfrida becomes Abbess Elfrida of York, but will re-emerge as the infamous Evangeline Black. They will spend the next 100 years there in scholarly pursuits, planning their next move, but politics will become something Aldrich and Evangeline choose to avoid in future, instead money and their own personal power will become their goal.

                        Saegar does not join them, not keen on spending a century in abstinence. Instead, he hides out in Scotland for two decades until the heat dies down.

                        25 Dec. Richeard, Alfgar and Eadwulf attend the coronation of William I of England in Westminster Abbey.

                        Next time, we jump forward about 100 years and the first embers of what will become the Hellfire Club are sparked into life...

                        Cheers

                            wounded man who miraculously healed

                            Livio Broccolino has been looking for his teacher, Belva Silvestri, with scores to settle with the woman who broke his heart centuries ago after she sent him on his way, his training complete. Some Immortals carry long grudges and Livio isn’t one to forget and forgive. That auto accident nealry cost him his life during the competitive race of 2002, I guess that taught him a lesson because he is even more cautious in racing than he is in the Game. Little does he know Belva died in 1961 against a child Immortal by name of Mayra Alejandra, thus mking of Livio’s grudge a needless one. What he doesn’t know keeps on hurting him, truly a shame.

                            Frank Bascombe,relatively new to the Game but already a savy swordfighter and collector of heads. His M.O is to settle in a place known for its population of immortals, take his time, settle in a mortal activity and then start counting the immortals living in the city. When he's done counting, Bascombe starts hunting for non-white immortals. He cheats : he compensates his poor swordfighting skills with stun gun, tear gaz, pouch of powder, anything; and when his quarry is weakened, he goes for the kill. Each decade sees a city depopulated from non-caucasian immortals : Southern Africa in the 1900's, Western Africa in the 1910's, North Africa in the 1920's and so on.

                            From each immortal he killed, Bascombe took a souvenir : an Inca gold mak from Diego Cristobal, a short sword from Muhammad of Algiers, a spear from Colette Ougounbo. Because he was raised in Boer culture where white people held rascist views toward black and other-colored people, Bascombe makes a point on targeting only non-caucasian immortals : Black, Chinese, Italian, Slavic, Jewish etc.. All fall to his sword, because the bastard believes in eithnic cleansing among the immortals. His homes of Aspen, Johannesburg and Seattle are full of the mementos he picked from his quarries and bear testimony to the many cultures that white men eradicated from the surface of the earth for the past centuries.

                            Frank was a disciple of Thomas Morehead at about the same time as Oskar Felder but never joined with the Combined Immortals of America, choosing other pursuits, as co-founder of the Ku Klux Klazn and the White Knights of America, a squadron of Immortlas even more rabis and dangerous then the CIA and who the CIA had to take out themselves, which goes to show there can be more extreme Immortals in America then even Thomas Morehead's group.

                            Bozidara of Bohemia is the woman (or man) who taught the fine arts of cooking to Hugh Fitzcairn as well as proper manners in bed, a difficult task to a Medieval immortal of the 12th century, but she was a success in both ventures. To think Fitz the womanizer received his first lessons from a transvestite Immortal !
                            Bohemian kitchen is famous for taking cheap ingredients and, by way of hard work, turning ithem into something very presentable. Hugh Fitzcairn was a crass, uneducated Englishmen, she tunred him into a very presentable Immortal too.
                            Few rookies at Watcher Academy belived it when first studying the chronicel of Bozidara but this is a fine woman who made it to the top in eight hundred years of immortality, having to hide her nature but still iving happiliy, bedding men and women alike, playing the Game and taking heads if she couldn’t give any.
                            I wasn’t the first Watcher assigned to her who became enamoured with the Bohemian (such charisma !) and it was all I could not ot interfere when George Chapman the transvestite-hunter came into town and seduced Bozidara. Bozidara was no fool, many came after her pretty head, but her weakness laid in sexual matters, like the gypsy moth lured to the flame. She never woke up from the night she spent with Chapman. Her favorite cookbook with those wonderful bohemian recipes is now in the office of the US Southeast Watcher Bureau. We miss her greatly.

Against Sghair M’Barek he proved he was tough, but not enough agaisnt the fearsome lion and ever since he has challenged the best, to prove himself and to show the Immortal community that he will be a force to be reckoned with. We do believe the reckoning will come to him in the shape of the Immortals whose first deaths were triggered by the maiming and senseless butchery triggered by his guns. What goes around comes around, they say, and soon Kasanje will be no more.

                            In 1769 Terence of Coventry met Immortal Rewi Te Huia, a New Zealand native who, though living away from usual commercial routes, was aware of the existence of other Immortals and kept a strong arm, a sharp eye and an even sharper spear. Terence didn’t dare challenge the woman in the Game but challenge her in bed and was quite apt at convincing the little hellion that not all Western Immortals are bad fellows. In 1835 she had embraced pacifism, and may have longed for the return of the charming Englishman who stole her heart from her with her virginity.

                            In 1980 Darius met Rossa Nuia of the Kerepuni in New Guinea and when interrogated she answered that among the 10,000 skulls he found on her island more than one belonged to Western or Asian Immortals who came after her and thought the old woman to be an easy mark. They tasted good too. Darius flinched but wasn’t surprised : on these parts of the world the natives can sometimes break some essential taboos of the civilized world. She never truly forgave Hippolito Cabral for bringing with him the terrible disease which nearly destroyed her people and still has scores to settle with him. Meanwhile, she has her pot, good meat, herbs and an empty stomach to feed. And an unquenchable hunger for more good Quickenings. Darius left her in haste and never visited the old woman again.

                            • More great chronicles, my friend. Especially enjoyed the racist bastard Frank Bascombe being taken out by the Little Dragon Lang Quing - what goes around comes around! Lol

                              Next up, a little embellishment of the Sampson Brass chronicle and an introduction to Honoria Dedlock. I'll also need your help completing the unfinished sections of these chronicles, thanks!

                              While Aldrich Monk and Evangeline Black spent more than a century in hiding on the Isle of Iona off the west coast of Scotland, Sampson Brass, still known at this time as Saegar Lightfingers, opted to keep a low profile in Scotland for a few decades scratching a living as a con-artist. By 1143 he had made his way south to the town of Colchester where he soon ingratiated himself into the criminal underworld running a successful black market goods operation. Not long after, he came to the attention of two local Immortals, Ealdred of Ashurst, leader of the North End Boys gang, and his student and second-in-command Fawkes de Savage. Ealdred wanted Brass to pay protection to his gang, but Brass was not one to take threats like that seriously, especially from someone he considered a two bit crook. Instead, he offered his services as an enforcer, proving his worth by beating Ealdred's mortal gang members to a pulp. Ealdred accepted Brass' offer and unknowingly signed his own death warrant. By the end of the year Brass had worked his way up the ranks and on one dark night, he got Ealdred blind drunk in a tavern, lured him outside into an alley and decapitated him before he could draw his sword. By the next day, Brass had seized control of the gang, much to the ire of Fawkes de Savage, who nevertheless grudgingly accepted Brass' authority.

                              this time was leading a rival gang

                              When Sampson Brass took out Ealdred of Ashurst in 1143 and took over the North End Boys in Colchester, Fawkes submitted somewhat grudgingly to the older Immortal's authority, but all the while he was plotting revenge. It took him seven years until he finally had enough support to mount a challenge, but Brass, unlike Aldrich Monk, is not a man of subtlety. Furious at the betrayal, but not unsurprised, he savagely attacked Fawkes, his anger fuelling his sword arm, and he quickly overwhelmed him, driving him to his knees. When he took his head, the resulting Quickening quickly cowed the rest of Fawkes' followers, although Brass still took his revenge, murdering all of them

                              Following the attempted takeover of 1150, Sampson Brass re-named his gang the Lightfingers after his former nickname, and by 1153, he had taken under his wing a young female pre-immortal pickpocket named Heloise Mallory, who would one day become the infamous Honoria Dedlock of Aldrich Monk's Hellfire Club, who he grew attached to. When she reached 18, he stabbed her in the heart to trigger her immortality and she soon became his right-hand woman and most trusted adviser. The duo then quickly expanded their influence across Colchester and took control of organised crime in the town.

                              By 1161, the Lightfingers gang ruled the streets of Colchester, led by Sampson Brass and his student Heloise Mallory, aka Honoria Dedlock. They were rich and powerful, but power provokes envy and a group of criminals who had fled the town because of the Lightfingers sought revenge and hired a notorious enforcer to take out Brass and Mallory. Athalwolf was a brute of a man, a German giant who had forged his reputation over 250 years on the continent as an unstoppable bull in a china shop. Not too bright, his fearsome reputation was often enough to send his opponents running for the hills. But Sampson Brass does not scare easy and set a trap for the German Immortal, luring him into a cauldron of arrows, knives and spears within the narrow streets of Colchester. Most of the Lightfingers gang were slaughtered by Athalwolf, but by the time he reached Brass and Mallory, he was already staggering under multiple wounds. Heloise stabbed the weakened German in the back and Brass delivered the coup de grace, savouring the Quickening. With the Lightfingers all but annihilated, Sampson Brass and Honoria Dedlock left Colchester for their next venture.

                              • Brillant research work, Apollo. Good writing too. About the future Immortals you create as kills of the Club's members, can I advise them as being also born out of England : Wales, Scotland, Irerland and other parts of Western and Northern Europe ? Even Scandinavia.
                                I suppose the Hellfire Club dipped its collective feet in other parts of the British Empire, so that would mean kills In British Kenya, India, North America, etc..

                                To think I started all this with a bunch of British names and a few pictures...

                                • Yeah, no worries on that score, my friend. As you'll find out, the majority of the Hellfire Club's victims hail from the British Isles or its dependencies...

                                  Meanwhile, here are those pre-Christ era Middle Eastern names you wanted:

                                  Male:

                                  Also, could you post the active and inactive Immortals of South America and Brazil, thanks...

                                    Killed and then taken as disciple of Medios of
                                    Thebes, disowned by his teacher when he turned
                                    against him

                                    Though not much is known about Medios of Thebes liene of students – a discreet Immortal, his chronicle is sparse – there is one whose tale we know. Of an ambitious Carduchoi Immortal who came from a lost country and became a proficient player of the Game drawn to the dark side of Immortality. When he came after Medious and tried tio kill him, Medios disowned him but must have wished he had killed him himself because Sapor of Corduene killed ten Immortals between his confrontation against Medios and his death by the blade of the madman Gimillu, all of them pacifical beings or former players of the Game who had discarded their swords. Women, children, elderly Immortals, none were safe from his blade and there was no end to his relentless hunt for the fabled Prize. And he savored each Quickenings, oh yes. He was so savage an Immortal that some of us benefactors thought of hunting him ourselves to put an end to his rampage. It was Gimillu who took him out, in a touch of irony : Gimillu was a lunatic who racked up a fair number of kills himself and kicked Sapor’s ass real good before taking his head and Q.

                                    I killed Amestrin of Ugarit during the Bronze Age collapse when we rode in the Middle East and destroyed entired cities, passing people to the sword, killign and raping and burning and looting. The madness seemed to go on forever. Kronos raped Ugarit and then we three took turns with Silas and Caspian. Who would take the head and Quickenign was decided with dice. I won become I was lucky and smarter than my brothers. When I read those words it feels like an ancient demon speaking and maybe I still am. The old Methos is lurking somewhere and this is one of the things I am still afraid of. Was Kronos right ? Did I truly change over the centuries ?

                                    Addendum

                                    It is my brother Kronos who killed Enosh the Cannanite, a zealot and self-annoàinted protector of Amestrin. When he awoke from hsi First Death he must have felt rejected by his ods and then foudn a new calling in keeping his teacher safze from other Immortals. Amestrin kept him around as bodyguard and she must haze found his sword useful, though she was good with a blade in her hands too. I think Enosh was blinded by his love because Amesdtrin had but complete disregard from him when she offered me his head in exchange for her life. I laughed at her, and handed her over to Kronos for some playtime when he was done enjoying Enosh' Quickening. Savage men livign in savage times. I make no apologies.

                                    when he took Xanthia of Melitus to Ravansar
                                    Spring to cure her of a Dark Quickening

                                    After 92 years of hunting his old friend, Metopholus finally caught up to Xanthia in Alexandria the year the city was besieged by the Muslims who ordered the burning of Alexandria’s library. A tragedy for the wise Prisca Negra, a Nubian woman once disciple of Sunda Kastagir, and who sought to preserve the world knowledge, only to see it burnt down. But nothing could save her from pillaging Arabs and from the demented Xanthai who took her out after a brief battle. Did Prisca Negra’s Quickening sane her up ? Or was it Prisca’s innate goodness and widsom which washed away Xanthia’s anger and hate ? When Metopholus found Xanthia, it was as if she was reverting to her old self, but the ancient immortal knew better and took her to Tripolitania, to an ancient shrine located in a cave, where he left her on her own for seven days and nights, until Xanthia finally rid herself from her demons. The shrine was kept by a Muslim friend of his, Fayrul ibn al-Din who made sure Xanthia was kept safe.
                                    In the end, Xanthia’s goodness prevailed and she was back to her senses, but befallen with the memories of the good immortals she murdered and of the mortals lives she destroyed during her rampaging years.

                                    In 1990, David Bautista travelled all the way from Venezuela to Black Friars in Wales to cure some mild-anxiety symptoms he suffered from, having heard of Sean Burns’ reputation with immortal patients. Burns wasn’t impressed by the Latin immortal he had worse specimens to taker care off in his cells, seeing the lost little boy behind the façade of macho cynism, an immortal who had lost his courage centuries ago and was searching for himself. Batista confessed his teacher, a holy man from Mexico, had been killed by another immortals and he felt that if not even a holy man like Juan de Palos or Darius was safe, then how could he hope to survive more centuries ? Beside, he felt tired and depressed. Sean Burns reminded him of the violent nature of immortals : did Batista play the Game ? Batista answered hom no. Burns retorted he suffered from the usual burnout and depression afflicting immortals after centuries of warfare, and that he didn’t get back on his feet, he would end up a washed-out coke addict like the unfortunate Brian Cullen. This saned Batista right up : when he came back to Latin America, he started hunting again and felt much better. I don’t suppose Burns had in mind to turn a depressed mobster into a player of the Game. Oups.

                                    Caras De Trevyn’s life was like a fairy tale. She was found and raised in a castle by and old but minor aristocratic Welsh family. Her adoption by the family was not an act of altruism. Their 2 month old baby girl died, and she had been betrothed# to the young son of the Ap Tudor family. The small property that was given as the bride price was vital to the farms that the family owned. And they couldn’t afford to lose it. But Old Rhys De Trevyn got them more than a strip of land, they got a beautiful, intelligent and loving daughter. Arranged marriages among the aristocracy rarely have anything to do with love, but by all accounts it was love at first site for Caras and Bevan.
                                    And for the five years they were together were very happy until a blood feud between the Trevyns and Bevan’s family came to a horrific end. The castle was attacked and all the men were slaughtered. The soldiers then proceeded to massacre the women and children. A few of the women and Caras threw themselves off the tower walls than wait to be raped and killed by the Tudors. Caras reawakened from her first death surrounded by the bodies of family and friends. With no place to go Caras entered an abbey of Bro Morganwwd. There she encountered Katherine who taught her how to use a sword. And she learned her lessons well : she has lived for 700 years, occasionally fighting off challengers but never becoming a hardened player of the Game : she was content with being a midwife, a healer, a homemaker, and a sucessful businesswoman in modern times until her untimely death against Daria De Souza.

But sometimes his turn will come and if one of the co-eds who overdosed on the coke he sold her ever comes back from the dead, I hope she gives him his just dessert.

                                    To escape the clear and present dangers of the Game, some immortals will choose faraway and distant lands where they are alone, like the wastelands of Antactica, Patagonia, or the Andes Mountains like tour guide Chiquito Quiroz, the last survivor of the original Chanka people who were decimated by the Spaniards in the 15th century. Quiroz may not be one of the oldest immortals but his self-preservation instinct allowed him to survive the near-extiction of Amerindian immortals during the past centuries. And also to have escaped the wrath of Rupac Inca Huaco after he guided this group of immortal explorers in the Andes when they were searching a mythical city were Incas thrived. The city was never found, because of Quiroz efforts to take them in false directions. However, they did find a holy place which housed mummyfied remains of an inca God and brought it with them to Europe, so this is the reason of their untimely disappearance in Brazil : finally, an Amerindian immortal enacted his just vengeance on the group.

                                    Poor Olivia never had much luck with men, all the ones she dates eventually quit on her, scared by the ancientness they see in her eyes, sensing that maybe this is a woman who outlived a lot of men, and indeed she has after two hundred years of warfare and coutships, always mixing love and war. She trusts no immortal man however, and it is a shame : like the Valicourts before her, she could live a happy life one century or two with the ‘right’ immortal. But no, she is wary of the Game, of the immortals playing it and prefers playing her little games on the mortal scene.

                                    Believing neither in God nor in the Devil, Susana Viscahio never developed any ethics in her Immortality and has squasked mankind like anthills for the last three hundred years, lastly kidnappinstreet teens and children, for her organs donors business. At least she is strongly suspected of doing so. More a missign each week and clues point her as the source of this evil.

                                      The oldest and greatest student of Deoneces of Sparta, Baro is a mighty swordsman and the sworn enemy of Flavius Sulla and his protege Lucius Oranius Capito. He fought them both to a standstill, encountering Sulla on the outskirts of Rome in AD 94 and facing off with Capito when they both served in the Praetorian Guard in 217. Baro's friends were enemies of Capito and Sulla. The deaths of some of his friends at the hands of the Roman headhunter has made Baro even more determined to find Capito and destroy him, same way he eventually did with Sulla in 1942 at the Battle of El-Alamein. Whenever he hears word of Capito's activities, Baro rushes to the scene hoping to fight him again and finish what he started, but Capito always seems to elude him. Both immortals are taking the heads of ancient Immortals; Capito killing any he can find, Baro only the evil ones, in a desperate race to gain power so that when they meet again, only the strongest will survive.

                                      Appius (or Aubrey as he preferred to be called, Alex these days) is the perfect example of how time and circumstances change Immortals over the centuries, especially those of us in the ancient bracket. Adopted into one of the old patrician families in Metapontum, Aubrey spent his youth desperately trying to earn the love and approval of his wealthy father and the respect of his peers among the old families of Rome. He picked up the typical patrician traits of arrogance and self-importance, looking down on the plebeian classes with disdain, strutting around the classier environs of the city with his gaggle of like-minded sycophants mixing with all those other sons and daughters of nobility, spoiled and entitled (oh, how times change!). His presence at Cannae was another attempt to impress his father, since all sons of senators could find glory and wealth in the legions of the mighty Republic. His death stole away his “destiny” but not, as Deoneces found, any of his less redeeming traits. After all, his teacher was Greek, not Roman! But if there’s anything I’ve learned about the Spartan over the centuries; do not get on his bad side. Needless to say, Aubrey’s training was brutal. He was forged in blood and iron, by one of the greatest warriors of the Immortal world. And yet his arrogance and disdain for the lower classes never left him. It would explain his early rivalry with Capito, whose own family was looked down upon by the wealthier clans of Rome.
                                      Aubrey’s early encounters with others of his kind were marked by his own unpleasant demeanour, four heads taken needlessly through imagined slights, misunderstandings, or his own disdain for anyone he considered lowborn. But fate was to take a strange turn during the time of the Black Death in England. A chance encounter with a peasant girl while on a mission for a wealthy lord he was in service to, was to prove to be his epiphany. He told me it was love at first sight, “the most beautiful redhead he had ever seen” who was feisty to boot. He said she tamed the Roman within him. He was supposed to torch the village for refusing to pay their taxes, but Aubrey instead carried the girl off to safety, betraying his lord. They went on the run when an Immortal the lord had used before to murder political rivals and enemies was sent to hunt them down. But Aubrey and his lover, Esme, fled to France. By the time the hunter located his quarry, Aubrey had settled as a blacksmith in an Alpine village. In the end, the fight was savage and a close-run thing, but Aubrey triumphed and found peace at last. He married Esme, who knew his secret, and they were together for 30 years. When she died of old age, Aubrey was devastated, but she made him promise to live his life to the full and to protect others from what he used to be.
                                      He kept the promise. He forged a new sword, carving his wife’s face into the pommel, and travelled the world learning new skills, experiencing new cultures, and helping others where he could. He has proved to be every bit as formidable as his teacher; his rivalry with Capito became less about their Roman heritage and more about Aubrey trying to rid the world of a dangerous headhunter. I don’t think he cared that he wasn’t the one to take out Capito in the end, Aubrey isn’t the man he used to be. None of us are.

She heard on the grapevine that Susana Viscahio is active in Peru an Immortal who murdered children to sell their organs on the black market and who had Maria in her line of sight. The confrontation ended with the two women exchanging sword blows but the fight was Inconclusive, only this time Kate could dish out her own brand of justice again.

                                      by Carlos and Grace during travel

                                      Kamak first appeared in the jungle of Amazonia during an exploratory tour by Carlos Sendaro and his wife Grace. Both immortals were surprise to find an immortal among the diminutive Amazonian headhunters. We do not known how long Kamak has been an immortal, even he isn't sure.
                                      From his conversations with Grace he met his first death several generations ago in circuimstances even he doesn't remember.
                                      At this time, Sendaro was hiring natives on his plantation, ruling them all with an iron hand, seeing hismelf as their chosen god. Grace didn't like how her husband was turning out to be and decided to take charge of Kamak's education as an immortal.
                                      Secretly from her husband she taught Kamak to read and write, to speak English and to use a sword.
                                      After Grace finally left Sendaro, Kamak also left and vansihed from Watcher records until he re-appeared in 1945 around the Amazon basin, as a hunter, a tour guide in the 1960's and an assassin during the 70's.
                                      In the 1990’s he was running a Tequila distillery, having retired from a life of murders and mayhem when Chang came after his head, and made short work of the diminutive Aamazon immortal.

                                      Of all Henry's students, Felix has been the one to embrace his immortality with excitement and enthusiasm, looking upon it more as an opportunity than a curse, indulging his obsession for innovation and invention, putting himself at the heart of the industrial revolution and all the great creativity of the ninetenth century and then all the advancements of the twentieth. He stayed away from mortal conflicts, he had no interest in all the wars and bloodshed, choosing to live life to the full, mixing with the intellectuals and dreamers; his kind of people. Still, he has never shirked his place in the Game and has kept his swordarm in good shape, always practicing as his teacher advised him, even picking up tips from such legendary fighters as Deoneces of Sparta, Frankie Drummond and Roman Alvarez, a lesson quickly learned by three Immortals who came after his head over the last two centuries. He is a flamboyant, some would say, flashy, fighter, combining different styles, using speed and dazzling technique to overcome his opponents. He has met and befriended some of history's great inventors and innovators, George Stephenson, Frederic Francois Chopin, Samuel Morse, William Armstrong, Tomas Edison, the Wright brothers, and even Walt Disney. He was inspired by his visit to the Great Exhibition in 1851 and was there in Hollywood when movies were in their infancy, workling with the great silent movie stars, including Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. Today, he is back at the heart of the creative industry, writing, producing and directing in New York for the big TV networks and cable. Someday, he hopes to break into the movies again and dreams of winning a creative Oscar, the culmination of his aspirations, and for his name (at least the name he uses today) to be up there with the greats.

                                      Marchette never forgot his teacher's most important lessons about immortality : "the head that stands above the crowd is the one that gets chopped off", and this is why although he was trained by the best swordman in Russia, Marchette always kept a low profile, staying out of the Game for most of his immortality and seldom taking a head - only when forced to do so, or to protect someone close to him.
                                      One of the younger immortals, Marchette like his quiet life here, in Manaus, living with his mortal lover Constanza and avoiding the other immortals of Brazil. It is a good life, and Marchette doesn't want it any other way.

                                      Personally I wish Fernao Gonçalves took out Anna’s husband last year durign the Game because now she would be a freed woman. But would that be a service to her? She needs to see her husband as the violent man that he is and to decide to leave him once and for all. Not that it worked greatly for Grace Chandel when she left Carlo Sendaro, he harassed her for one hundred and fifty years before she was finally forced to kill him for good in 1992.
                                      Will Anna find that kind of strenght in herself ? So far she has been living a life of fantasy as model, traveller and all manners of occupations befitting her nature of living head in clouds, with ether Clara Dore or her abusive husband to stand by her but that cannot be good for her. She knows it and beneath that smling face on tv I see all the pain in the world, the endless tears that ran for the last six decades. That poor woman. This is not a way to spend one’s Immortality.

                                      Elise Yeow went to Kenya in search for the legendary Charles Herne who went missing in the region in the 1960’s, I have an inkling she wants the Quickening of one of the more ancient of her kind. She has been looking for Methos, for the fabled Chaga clansmen, for Lung-shu but couldn’t find them. She is patient, she will find him. She has had several kills of ancient immortals under her belt, coming after their heads as a collector of valuable antiques.

                                      The Game destroyed Na’ilah Saniyah and Lila Abu-Sitta's relationship, a love story that lasted seven hundred years until both women were so impacted with the violence of the Game they started playing : going after rapists molesting women and childnen, war profiteers selling guns to Middle Eastenr war-torn countries, slavers trafficking European women sold on the North African slave markets, pushers selling drugs to children of America. And then against players of the Game killing Immortals because There Can Be Only One. They lost themselves in the 1990's before losing each other. Today they live separate lives, and though they fled woman's persecutions in the Middle East they still have to play the Game again and again in North America and Brazil. When they faced their latest challenges, a pair of terrorist Immortals, they won but didn't recognize each other. They understood they had finally become like their ennemies and grew bitter. Na’ilah and Lila agreed it was better to part ways, since the Game had consummed the love they once felt for each other.
                                      It is the true tragedy of the Game when it manages ot destroy a love story between two Immortals.

                                      Of late, Anna Flavia was involved in charity, helping the disinfranchised teen mothers of Sao Paulo, teaching them birth control, planned parenthood, how to use condoms and contraceptives so they would have a chance at a better life. Ann Flavia's good heart always got her to take a stand in favor of those in need in sixty years of Immortal life, closely watched over by her jealous, violent husband.She made the acquaintance of two younger Immortals, a couple, former gangbangers in one of the most violent streets gangs of Brazil, Primeiro Comando Da Capital, who had themselves changed over the last decades and turned their way from the violence that took out most of their mortal friends and ennemies.

                                      Two street youths, Immortals, born in a violent environment, made immortal through violence, who had a change of heart in 2012 during the "Immortals War" which killed so many Immortals. They realised the endless violence couldn't go on forever and that to change the Immortal scene, they had to change the mortal scene. And what better way to do so than educating mortal youth of Sao Paulo. Rodriguo is specialized in taking out kids out of the streets before they find their 'family' with gangs as he did and Paula works with young teenaged girls in search for first sexual experiments, teaching them to bid their time, wait a few years more to grow and mature.And as far as the Game is concerned, they are practical about it and train constantly.

                                      This year they met Anna Flavia and agreed to work with her charity organisation, feeling in the older woman a kindred spirit, but taking an instant dislike to her husband. A man who doesn't respect his woman isn't man at all, they said to Anna when she confided in Paula the treatment she endured. Anna fell instantly in love with a fourteen years old orphan girl, six months pregnant, named Carlita Soares, and her sense of protectiveness grew to a point when she felt she could adopt her. Not to the liking of Valdinei who decided he had enough of Paula and Rodriguo interfering in his life. He told so to Anna and when he threatened the life of Carlita, Anna's blood boiled to a point of no return : for sixty years she stood by an abusive husband and she felt she had enough. He was now threatening a girl she grew to love and who agreed to stay with her for the sake of her child, he threatened her chance at true hapiness, at being a mother to Carlita and a grand-mother to her child.

                                      This, she couldn't accept and while she was never recorded as a Game-agressive person, this was a woman who had received good training from her teacher, Clara Dore. Anna told bitter, angry words to her husband and drew her sword. Pinto couldn't believe his wife dared challenge him and that was his weakness : disbelief that an Immortal woman could prove deadlier than her male counterpart in the Game. Many, many Immortal men have made that mistake in the past. If half of surviving Immortals are women it is for a reason. They are clever, practical, sensible and use whatever advantages they can to survive. Pinto's brute strenght and anger were his weapons, Anna Flavia used her speed,her agility and concentrated on the love she felt for Carlita to win. And win she did !

                                      She went home with a good Quickening and settled Sao Paulo with Carlita. Both women are expectant mother and grand-mother for March 2018 with two good friends in the Game.

                                      Irene Da Cunha-Lisboa is free to live as she pleases and to enjoy her Immortality, her eternal your but she isn’t free from the deprecating ghost of her abusive mother; though killed by Anton Kalas in 1955, Irene cannot forgive the memory of the woman who tormented her for nearly one hundred years and bit at her soul bit by bit. Irene is a talented singer and a star of her own, but who can truly knows her torment ? “To know me is to feel my pain”, she once sung and she sang her pain beautifully. As she ever does. I may be harsh there, but she is complacent : her mother’s dead, she has eternal youth, so she should just enjoy her life to the fullest. That’s the trouble with Immortals who carry long-term grudges and who can never forget : they create their own private hell instead of turning their world into their own heaven.

                                      Joao Dos Pajos loves gold, he loves only gold as Shirley Basset could sing it since this is a man whose immortality took his humanity away leaving a man obsessed with gold’s purity, it’s color, the way he can shape it to his will since he cannot shape the world around him. He cannot control the Game, nor can he prevent the Game from catching up to him, but he can control gold and goldsmithing is the only thing making him happy. His works sell millions in Europe, true works of art. With his fortune he built a fortress in Cunha-Sacupula where he lives in relative seclusion waiting for the time of the Gathering when he will be pulled to fight others of his kind in a faraway land. His money has bought him the best training so far, always mortal teachers for he doesn’t trust those of his kind. His sword is ready : a beautiful cutlass, its handle ornated with gold and a ruby at the tip of the handle. Truly a work of art.

                                      Avram and Leah Goldberg’s main subject of dispute is wether Jews should remain dispersed all across the world or gather all in Israel, to the land of their ancestors, and especially Immortal Jews who bear the responsibility of carrying the memories of their kin all through the centuries. Leah is content with the life they have in Brazil on which Avram agrees, but Avram also feels the couple could have aided the fundation of the state of Israel during post-war years. Avram believe the two Immortals need to move out of Nelo Horizonte, Leah is happy there and won’t move a finger to help her brethen who went to the slaughter like sheep to the salughter. Harsh words, but Avram thinks different. He could have made a difference in Europe, who knows.
                                      As caretakers of the bodies of the deceased at Temple Beth Israel, the couple have been making sure Jews get a proper burial in Belo, but there are six millions who never got the proper funeral rites and whose ghosts call to them from the great beyond. At least that’s what Avram keeps telling his wife. And when faced with the horrors of the holocaust, Leah would rather forget and live her Immortality in peace.

                                      Report on the Thalia, the Sleeping Beauty

                                      Every children on this earth has been told the legend of the Sleeping Beauty : a beautiful princess, a long time ago, who was sentenced to eternal sleep until a charming prince would wake her up with a kiss. It seems that legend was true : the Sleeping Beauty really existed, and she was an immortal : the immortal woman known as Thalia, whose origins where, so far, unknown to us. Everything that follows is the fruit of endless days of research from a brilliant team of Watchers : Phillip Castellano, Mary Sutherland, Frank Berger and Ann Sainclair. Congratulations to the four of them !
                                      It is Ann who found out that in 1634, Giambattista Basile had written the original story of "The sun, the moon and Thalia" in a book called "Il Pentamerone". Charles Perrault, and later Disney, later inspired themselves from that story. It is also Ann who suggested that the original story might have been based on factual events.
                                      Hence, here is how the story goes :

                                      In the middle of the tenth century, the king of some obscure European country had only one daughter whom he wanted to marry to some rich prince. Unfortunately, the beautiful princess brusquely died on her 18th birthday. The King was so devastated with grief that he ordered her daughter to be entombed in her bedroom and the castle to be forever locked up. His orders were followed. The princess, no doubt a foundling, never woke up from her eternal sleep because of oxygen deprivation.
                                      One century passed. Some immortal knight by name of Cornelius Jainus passed around, settling in the abandoned castle for the night, in spite of the surrounding area's reputation of being haunted. As he prepared himself for the night, Ashe sensed something odd. Could it be the "buzz", signaling the presence of an immortal ? No, it was too weak. Alerted, Ashe searched the entire castle for the origin of the signal. And he found it, coming from behind a dust-covered wall. The following morning, Ashe arranged some help for himself, gathering some men who would keep their mouths shut. The four men destroyed the wall brick by brick. They broke open the door...and found a miracle. A magnificent, blonde-haired, young woman, sleeping in her bed. Ashe ordered the men to go back to their town and gave them gold to insure their silence; once they were gone, Ashe approached the lady and gave her a light kiss on her lips, waking her up.
                                      "I thought I was dead", said the lady.
                                      "You were", answered Ashe. "And you will live forever".
                                      And so a legend was born : the legend of the Sleeping Beauty who died and came back to life, thanks to a charming prince from a distant country. That story was reported by Ashe's one-time assistants who became Watchers a short time thereafter. The story was later written in the shape of a fairy tale.

                                      But whatever happened to the Sleeping Beauty, after she met Ashe ? She became his student and later his lover. They fought together in battle and lived happily together until Ashe's death at the blade of Lucius Oranius Capito. Ashe's death broke the Beauty's heart. She never was the same again. She became a bandit, a pirate, a mercenary. Two hundred years later she was known as Belle Starr, the infamous bandit woman from the US southwest and relocated more recently in San Francisco as painter, living a sedentary life afar from the perils of the Game. Thalia vanished from San Francisco in 1996; she re-appeared ten years later in Brazilia as a cabaret singer, enjoying herself immensely and keeping away from Immortals when possible.

                                      Andromeda isn’t afraid of spiders, she has survived their stings thousands of times and it allows her to study them in their natural habitat before the Brazilian rainforest is totally devastated. She loves the company of spiders more than she likes the company of men or Immortals and knows that the female is the deadliest of the species, so she trains constantly, weaving her web in Maranhao waiting for any Immortal to come after her. She has bagged a dozen that we know of since her first appearance in 1910 when she befriended Carmen Morales and recanted her story to her : of how she originally died from smallpox brougth by Europeans, was trained by an Italian surgeon who had a devil of a time explaining the Game to her. Of how she was betrayed by a priest and stopped believign the lies white men tell. Her only friends now are spiders and spiders will guide her through the years of the Final Gathering.

                                      Stephane Witkowski recognized Francisco Ramirez as Hugues De Ferm, the immortal who sold him and his companions to the Nazis in 1942 when he was a Communist leading a resistance cell against the German occupation of Paris. Stephane was amazed that De Fer was a fellow immortal but he decided to bring justice to his fallen comrades and started training again, before his confrontation against the immortal. Hugues didn’t train too often and wasn’t motivated to play the Game, while Stephane was a skilled fighter and an apt survivor, having been through a lot in his time : Nazi occupation of his country, running form the Combine Immortals of America, fighting immortals during the Immortals War and now this.
                                      It was a closure gesture for Witkowski when he took De Fer’s head an Quickening.

                                      The time has come for Stephane Witkowski to move on with his life, to start building house elsewhere, as cosmetics aren't enough to make him apparently age. This, and he wants to look young. So he faked his own death and made evevything necessary so that he would disappear completely and never be found. He has chosen Argentina, in South America, one of the far-off places in the southern hemisphere where immortals go, when they need a change of pace or to disappear from the modern world. Asia, Africa, Australia. Sout America. Good places of hiding are to be found there. So Witkowski had an immortal friend of his create a virus in the US governement databases to erase himself copletely from the computers. Free at last. I am moving with him, not wishing to lose my assignment. I alm curious to see how he fares in Buenos Aires, a city of 13 million people noted for the uniqueness of its architecture. I am positive it will give him the energy and new inspiration he needs.

                                      • Thanks for these my friend. Much appreciated.

                                        I'm currently working on two Immortals killed by Aldrich Monk and Evangeline Black when they emerged from their century or so of exile and I'll post them tomorrow.

                                        • Messalina of Rome, aka Serena Nero

                                          Serena was a favorite of Emperor Nero, not just because of her sexual skills and great beauty, but also because of the fire burning in her eyes, the fire of madness. That woman was absolutely insane, even by the antique world standard when the Roman Empire was on the verge of disintegration.There is a theory running around that Serena might have inspired Nero to start the Great Fire of Rome, fueling his madness with false rumors on the barbaric ways of the Christians. We shall never know for sure. What we really know of her is that she perished during the Great Fire and awoke immortal... to be found by a former gladiator, Karros, who had just fought immortal Carpus Cornelius and won. Interesting to note Rome was a hotbed of immortal activity during the Great Fire : the Kurgan also fought immortal Decima Justus to a standstill ! Karros rescued Serena from the pile of debris in which she was buried and mistakenly identifiedher as a new immortal, but also noticed the madness hidden in the woman's frame.

                                          Both immortals travelled during a few years, until Karros tired of Serena's agressive sexuality and left her in Antium where she lived under an assumed name until her encounter with Marcus Aedilies, player of the Game and cowardly spirit who tried to murder the woman in her bed after a night spent with her. Serena was aware that immortal men would come after her, but she wasn't sound of mind and didn't belive that young man clad in leather would be a threat. She was very wrong. Fortunately she escaped from his blade and was last seen in Constantinople in 330 at the begining of the Byzantine Empire living a life of leisure and luxury, no longer the naïve Immortal, rather a manipulative vixen using her sexual power to entrap men in games of politics and Immortals in the Game.

Finally he reached Whitehorse, where he tried to reinvent himself as a fur trader, but you don't improvise yourself a fur trader like this. You have to know the forest, the animals, the price traders are ready to pay for pelts. All this, and Cullen's a lousy alcoholic and opium addict. Good fer nothing runt, it ya know what I mean. When I was told I would Watch a champion of the Game I was disappointed - and a little disgusted. Come on, the guy's a ruin ! He even ran away from a challenge ! A gold digging Russian by name of Akhmetov, posing as an immigrant from Minsk. Akhmetov challenged Cullen because he didn't want any immortal competition in the Yukon; when Cullen ran away, Akhmetov hunted him down like a rabbit ! I swear, that Cullen must really have lost his nerves to need opium in his life. He picked up his sword and came after Akhmetov like a madman, yelling and foaming at the mouth. Crazy bugger. Akhmetov wasn't a player of the Game, he only fought to protect what was his and was good at it. But he didn't have the craziness that allowed Cullen to chop his arm off and to lop his naffin' head off. When Cullen was done with the Q. he buried the body, stole whatever possession Akhmetov had and left, just like that. I am going to follow him, I suspect he is tired of the cold from Yukon and will settle in a place with warmer climate. Bob Cantrell, 12 March 1891 From the Chronicle of Brian Cullen

                                          • Another great chronicle, my friend, as always. Keep up the good work.

                                            Meanwhile, i know i said I'd post two kills for Aldrich Monk and Evangeline Black, but I've recently had inspiration for another antagonist for the SIS, this time something completely different to the Hellfire Club. I'll continue working on their chronicles, but i thought I'd get this done while inspiration has come to me...

                                            Jakelin of Bordeaux is better known in our records as one of the earliest recorded Immortal serial killers with a nickname, Jacques Boudreaux, aka The Sin Eater, during his rampage across western Europe and in London where, on 15 June 1453, his career came to an end by the blade of Saxon Immortal and SIS member Eadwulf.
                                            Before 1307, he was a religious fundamentalist Templar Knight, who believed his immortality was a divine gift. Unusually for an Immortal, he stayed in the ranks of the Templars for nearly two centuries by continuously dying in battle and then relocating to another region, changing his identity and appearance, and re-joining the Order, something a lot easier to do in those days.
                                            Then in 1307, he, along with hundreds of other Templars, was arrested on the orders of Phillip IV of France, tortured, and burned at the stake. His scars never fully healed, neither his flesh nor his damaged psyche. Convinced God had punished him for not doing enough to punish sinners, he set out to correct that mistake. He drifted from town to town, murdering, mutilating and even consuming the flesh (eating the sins) of those he judged had committed sins against the Word of God.
                                            He appeared in London in 1452 as a blacksmith, while at night he stalked the streets in a skull mask and murdered his victims, branding the corpses with his mark in Latin, Peceatum Comedenti, the Sin Eater. Richeard of Mercia, convinced an Immortal was responsible, sent Alfgar of Winchester and Eadwulf onto the streets of London to hunt him down. Eventually, Eadwulf tracked Boudreaux to his forge in the East End and finally brought his rampage to an end, the Quickening setting fire to his forge.

                                            Eadwulf

                                            When seven mutilated, partly ingested bodies were found over two weeks in London marked with the Latin words, Peceatum Comedenti, Richeard of Mercia recognised the handiwork of the Immortal serial killer Jacques Boudreaux, the Sin Eater. But he knew the Sin Eater was killed by Eadwulf in 1453, so Richeard suspected a copycat was at work. Alfgar, Eadwulf, Raimond d'Amboise, Helen Bondeville, and Allegra Chambers hunted the serial killer through the streets of London, but two more bodies dropped before Alfgar of Winchester tracked him down to a blacksmith's forge in the West End. There, he discovered that Ambrose Valance wasn't a copycat, but rather Boudreaux's apprentice and had been responsible for two of the murders in 1453. He had witnessed his teacher's demise, but had vowed to continue his holy work. Alfgar put an end to Ambrose after a short battle and, presumably, the Sin Eater. However, a week later, one more body was found in a tavern on the outskirts of London with the mark of the Sin Eater. No more deaths were recorded that year, but Richeard and his crew remained on alert in case Ambrose had also trained an apprentice.

                                            BTW Since the Sin Eaters would have been active in other places around Europe at the time, if you can think of any other Immortals who would have encountered or tried to track them down, please feel free to incorporate them.

                                            • I'll think of something for the Sin eater Saga, no problem. Meanwhile... if you give me 24 more Middle Eastern names from forgotten, out of the way kingdoms and city-states, we could find ourselves with a whopping sum of 1000 Immortals for the entire Asian/Western Asian continent... (wink!) Any country you like, nut not too much from Anatolia and Turkey we have enough as it is. More from Peninsular Arabia and Caucasus. A little from Levant.

                                              I am glad you liked the chronicles so far.

                                              15th century BC 1 Female
                                              3rd century : 3 (1 female)
                                              5th century : 5 (2 females)
                                              8th century : 8 (3 females)
                                              9th century : 2
                                              10th century : 5 (2 females)

                                              This gig feels more and more like archaeological findings...

                                              I changed Valence's birthdate so as it fits with him being Boudreaux' recent apretince.

                                                I hate immortals who cheat in the Game, no class. He has been hiring himself as murder-for-hire and hunts immortals in his spare time, must be change from killing polar bears.

                                                Report on the Six of Vinland
                                                15.05.2000

                                                The Vikings, like other sea-rovers, are not as romantic as nineteenth-century fiction would make them out to be; neither are they exclusively the blood-thirsty ravishers depicted in the chronicles of the monks of England and Ireland. They may not have worn horned helmets,
                                                but they did sail ships carved with dragons' heads and they ventured far out into the western sea in search of new lands and adventure. In about 1000 AD, Leif Eriksson (son of Erik the Red) explored the new continent, acompanied by immortals Ejnar Kanwulfsson and Sygin Fenrisdottir, the latter being later cross-referenced as Kellistra, student of the fabled Four Horsemen. For the next ten years a number of voyages were made from Greenland to the new land, which the Norselmen called "Vinland" because of the profusion of grapes that grew there. Sygin and Kanwulf settled there and created a colony that flourished, adopted several orphaned Viking children they named after Gods of Norse mythology : Eir, Freya, Thor, Heimdall, Kvasir and Balder.
                                                More than one century went on before the prophecy of six immortal Vikings born from Vinland would come true. Kanwulf and Sygin's clan enlarged itself and then came the time for her brethen to leave the paradise for a much harsher world. The six children she adopted and who all turned out to be immortals spent decades discovering the North-Amercian continent before
                                                leaving for the land of their ancestors toward the beginning of the 12th century.
                                                The Vinland immortals had originally decided to stay in the New World when their mortal comrades all returned to Greenland and Iceland because they were disgusted when the Vikings converted to Christianity. This happened just before the year 1000 AD and created much controversy. What happened is, some of the Vikings had converted; most had not; then some of them appealed for judgement to a highly respected thane, and he mulled over the question for about a year and then announced that the entire Viking nation ought to convert en masse. His opinion had the force of law and the pagan Vikings, much to their disgust, were obliged
                                                to comply. This legal judgement led ultimately to the conversion of all Norsemen to Christianity . The Six of Vinland, though, rejected the whole business and washed their hands of their brethren in disgust. They still protect each other and each other's families and each New Year's eve they gather with their families and immortal students to remember legends of times past when all of them were heroes.

                                                Following, are reports on each of the Six of Vinland, who were first identified in London during the infamous Hunt for Jack the Ripper (File#57458-1899).

                                                Heimdall : in mythology, one of the Æsir and guardian of Ásgarð, their realm Heimdall is the guardian of the gods who will blow the Gjallarhorn if danger approaches
                                                Asgard. His senses are so acute that he can hear the grass grow and he can see to the end of the world; he can hear a leaf fall; he also requires no sleep at all. He is moreover the guardian of the Bifrost Bridge.
                                                He was the son of nine different mothers (possibly the nine daughters of Ægir, called billow maidens) and was called the White God. His hall was called Himinbjörg (Sky Mountain) and his horse was Gulltoppr (Gold-top).
                                                Georges Dumézil, a French comparative philologist best known for his analysis of sovereignty and power in Proto-Indo-European religion and society, suggested that the Hindu counterpart of Heimdall was the god Dyaus, one of the eight Vasus, who reincarnated as the frame hero Bhishma in the epic Mahabharata, he and his seven brothers being born to a mortal king by the River Ganges who herself had taken on mortal form. But the seven other brothers are returned to their immortal forms by being drowned by their mother immediately after birth.

                                                Among the Vinland Clan, Heimdall is a keeper of stability, the one who saned his sister Freya and helped her stop her rampages by making her realise she should be a healer before being a killer. In one thousand years of immortality, Heimdall has been the keeper of the family's house built on holy grounds where the first colony of Vinland settled. During holidays he makes frequent travels there, keeping check on the house, making sure it is ready to welcome his family when the clan gathers.

                                                Found and mentored by Ginjer Wu

                                                Belinda was in Singapore, delivering a parcel to a close associate of Mistress Wu; her duty done, she went to a spa for recreation when she sensed the presence of another one of her kind, Safiyah Khan, herself international courrier and player of the Game, who chalenged Belinda to a fight.
                                                The young Shaolin agreed to the fight - her teacher taught her to stand her ground and to never be afraid of challengers - and offered to meet Safiyah around midnight, n a secluded location of her choice. Belinda went to her spa, enjoyed herself a lot - mannies, peddies, warm bath, massage, what's a girl to ask ?
                                                Around midnight she met Safiyah, readying herself for the fight to come. She had been well-trained by Ginjer, herself a former student of the great May-Ling Shen, and won two challenges in the past. Her battle against Safiyah was grace and ferocity against lightning speed and brute strenght.
                                                Like a crane fighting a lethal cobra, little Belinda concentrated on her opponent who found how well she leant from her teacher. But in the eand, Safiyah was the strongest and landed Belinda on her hide, quickly dispatiching her Dao sword.
                                                I expected Belinda to lose her head, that night, but surprisingly, Safiyah showed mercy and let Belinda go, saying 'your teacher was a old friend of mine, she saved my head in Afghanistan. I am repaying her. Give my regards to her' And then she vanished into the night.
                                                I think Belinda was glad to keep her head on her shoulders.

Yesterday night, she went on a drinking spree in the bars of San Francisco, danced until her feet fell off, drunk until she nearly passed out and finally went in search of punks to fight. She killed a dozen, part of a local street gang, 'the Devil's Own', and spent the last part of the night with her rock-band before catching some sleep, so she could be in good shape to attend her duties to Mistress Wu. That girl really has stamina !

                                                Jenny was on an assignment in Bejin, to kill a defector from Ginjer Wu's posse, who had sold infomations about Wu's organsiation to a rival mobster. Johnny Mo had exiled himself to Beijing and was under the protection of the Triad.
                                                Slippery Jenny somehow managed to reach to her target and shot him from range, with a rifle. Her mission done, she went to Beijing international airport to catch her plane whe she ran into three members of China Force, the governental unit in service to the Republic of China, who wanted to arrest her for the murder of a triad defector inservice to the government. Johnny Mo was a double agent, and by killing him Jenny attracted the ire of China Force
                                                Ram, She-Devil and Jade Dragon are the youngest of the immortals squad, but what they lack in age, they compensate in strenght, speeds and skills.
                                                Three against one, was breaking the rules of the Game, but the 'youngsters' weren't playing a game : they were legit agents proceeding to an arrest for murder. Jenny realised that, but didn't want to stay in China with both the Triad and the government wanting her head. So she fought them all, one by one.
                                                Jiu-Jitsu against Ram, a knife through She-Devil's throat and losing Jade Drong in the maze of Beijing's airport. She couldn't afford three Quickenings in the middle of the airport and wanted to disappear as discreetly as possible.
                                                When she heads back to San Francisco, she will have to report to her mistress that China Force wants her head and that Ginjer Wu and the Shaolin Three have new ennemies.

                                                In the first decade of her life, Ginjer Wu rose from the orphaned daughter of imperished Chinese immigrants of 19th century California, forced to sell her body in a whorehouse of San Francisco, to the Queen of the opium ring of San Francsico after she killed the immortal who murdered her parents when she was barely sixteen. She spent most of her life doing menial jobs and being forced to sell her body until her First Death at the hands of a disgruntled, impotent customer in 1850. Her first teacher, was the immortal warrior May-Ling Shen who taught her of the Game, of immortality and of how a woman is forced to survive in a men-controlled world.
                                                It is extraordinary to see that of the seven Chinese women who lived in San Francisco in 1850, out of a population of 4025 Chinese immigrants, two were immortals !
                                                May-Ling also told Ginjer who murdered her parents : an immortal, the cruel Lo Pan, who had his fingers in every crime business of San Francisco. Prostitution, opium, racket, theft.
                                                After four years of training, of travelling across the American West, Ginjer had matured into a savy combattant and decided it was time for her to have her revenge.
                                                After killing her way across the criminal underground of San Francisco, Ginjer finally got to Lo Pan and challenged him to a fight, in front of his business partners. To Lo pan, being chalenged by a woman, meant a challenge to his authority, he was forced to take his sword. Lo Pan never was a savy player of the Game, he reiled on heavily-armed bodyguards to ward off opponents; but his guards were dead, he was alone to face the revengedful fury of Ginjer. His death came quickly, his Quicening ravaged his mansion.
                                                From there, Ginjer took control of San Francisco Crime Underground, and has been keeping it, travelling ot China, to the Far East, posing as her daughter, grand-daughter and grand-grand-daughter every twenty years.
                                                In time, she recruited immortal female bodyguards, 'the Shaolin Three', three young Chinese-American females from various Chinatowns across North America

                                                Ever since she took out Donald Black Bear in 12983, Chrystle Lightning has been wreaking havok on the North American continent, killing with abandon, taregetign innocent immortals and being on the most wanted list of Ravenwood, and especially Henry of Kent and Kellistra. Both immortals hoped to restore her to sanity but had few hopes, even Jim Coltec didn’t dare approch heer as Donald Black Bear was a true scourge on humanity. Moonstar was once a good woman, but she is lost ot us, driven by her own private demons.

Fortunately for those of his kind, he doesn’t hunt and kil lregularly but his method of killing could attract the ire of more tradition-oriented Immortals and then Vechio could find himself in real trouble.

                                                Report on the Six of Vinland
                                                15.05.2000

                                                The Vikings, like other sea-rovers, are not as romantic as nineteenth-century fiction would make them out to be; neither are they exclusively the blood-thirsty ravishers depicted in the chronicles of the monks of England and Ireland. They may not have worn horned helmets,
                                                but they did sail ships carved with dragons' heads and they ventured far out into the western sea in search of new lands and adventure. In about 1000 AD, Leif Eriksson (son of Erik the Red) explored the new continent, acompanied by immortals Ejnar Kanwulfsson and Sygin Fenrisdottir, the latter being later cross-referenced as Kellistra, student of the fabled Four Horsemen. For the next ten years a number of voyages were made from Greenland to the new land, which the Norselmen called "Vinland" because of the profusion of grapes that grew there. Sygin and Kanwulf settled there and created a colony that flourished, adopted several orphaned Viking children they named after Gods of Norse mythology : Eir, Freya, Thor, Heimdall, Kvasir and Balder.
                                                More than one century went on before the prophecy of six immortal Vikings born from Vinland would come true. Kanwulf and Sygin's clan enlarged itself and then came the time for her brethen to leave the paradise for a much harsher world. The six children she adopted and who all turned out to be immortals spent decades discovering the North-Amercian continent before
                                                leaving for the land of their ancestors toward the beginning of the 12th century.
                                                The Vinland immortals had originally decided to stay in the New World when their mortal comrades all returned to Greenland and Iceland because they were disgusted when the Vikings converted to Christianity. This happened just before the year 1000 AD and created much controversy. What happened is, some of the Vikings had converted; most had not; then some of them appealed for judgement to a highly respected thane, and he mulled over the question for about a year and then announced that the entire Viking nation ought to convert en masse. His opinion had the force of law and the pagan Vikings, much to their disgust, were obliged
                                                to comply. This legal judgement led ultimately to the conversion of all Norsemen to Christianity . The Six of Vinland, though, rejected the whole business and washed their hands of their brethren in disgust. They still protect each other and each other's families and each New Year's eve they gather with their families and immortal students to remember legends of times past when all of them were heroes.

                                                Following, are reports on each of the Six of Vinland, who were first identified in London during the infamous Hunt for Jack the Ripper (File#57458-1899).

                                                Kvasir : in mythology, God of inspiration, knowledge and beetroot juice
                                                After the war between the AESIR and VANIR, all the Gods made a truce by spitting into a bowl. They stirred up the mixture and created a new God of Knowledge out of the potent mess. His name was KVASIR and he was made the most amazing diplomat to prevent further disagreements. Sadly he didn't last long as he was slaughtered by treacherous dwarves, who drained his blood, mixed it with honey and fermented it into a highly potent mead. This became known as Kvas, the Mead of Inspiration, a fiery brew the color of beetroot. Drinking it was a highly enlightening experience.

                                                Villagers who were jealous of Kvasir's success with women, his hunting skills and hunting and all-out intelligence, ambushed him during a hunting trip and killed him. His mother, Sygin Fenrisdottir avenged him by killing the men after hiding her son's body during two days. She came back with him to the village where the Vinland Clan lived, pretending nothing of the unusual had happened. Kvasir is now into legal counsel, trying to settle disputes between couples between other litigations.

                                                Aletha the bag lady is famous among the immortals and Watchers of New-York for not having gone further than fifty yards from her SRO in 97 years. Already a hobo by the time she suffered her first death, Aletha agreed to be trained in swordsmanship by her teacher and to carry a sword in her backpack, but that was all she wanted. All what Aletha wants is to be left alone. She didn't accept "charity" from her mentor, Ursula Katz, who wanted to give her some money and a place where to live. My assignment doesn't care about the Game, she doesn't care about immortality. Yet, she likes a lot to be alive, thank you very much. So it means that every immortal that came after her, thinking her to be an easy killl, didn't live to regret their decision. For the most part, the New-Yorker immies leave the woman alone. She hides too well and no immortal wants to take a stroll in the Bronx just to take the quickening of some bag lady.

                                                Found and mentored by Cybelle McWyrter

                                                Angelique Hudson was an emotional train wreck in her teens, havign been badly abused by her stepafather on the farm she grew up with, until she finally escaped and made a life for herself on the street in her teens; in adulthood she had an abusive boyfriend who was a correctional officer in the state pen of Indiana where she succesfully enrolled herself and spent hard time watching over women doing hard times. In the 1980's she was a C.O in Washington state and had been a proficient player of the Game, carefully hunting Immortals locked in prisons, bidding her time, waiting for their time of parole, killing them as soon as they left the prison's walls. Her survival instincts and sword skills were taught to her by legendary gunfighter Cubelle McWhyrter, a firebrand identified as the legendary Kellistra, student of the Four Horsemen.
                                                Angelique took a lot from Cybelle, her swsord skills but also her violence, though not her moral compass : she doesn't care about mortals getting in her way, being an accomplished sexual predator picking on defenseless male or female inmates in whichever prison she worked in. Over the last 140 years she had molested, raped and grievously injured hundreds of convicts and killed a dozen male immortals that we know of, though she would never take the head of afemale immortal.
                                                Go figure. She has the same slant on killing her kind as Cybelle/Kellistra. She is currently in Ossining State prison, aka SIng Sing, her latest kill was hapless Peter Hackett who was paroled in 2013 and didn’t last very long outside Ossining walls.

                                                Student of Henri Valjean, both immortals left Paris
                                                for New Orleans, Louisiana

                                                Paris saw the beginnings of an African-American community in the aftermath of World War I when about 200,000 were brought over to fight. Ninety per cent of these soldiers were from the American South. It was during this time that jazz was introduced to the French and black culture was born in Paris. African American musicians, artists, and Harlem Renaissance writers found 1920s Paris ready to embrace them with open arms. Montmartre became the center of the small community, with jazz clubs such as Le Grand Duc, Chez Florence and Bricktop's thriving in Paris. World War II brought all the fanfare to an abrupt halt. The Nazi invasion of Paris in June 1940 meant suppression of the "corrupt“ influence of jazz in the French capital and danger of imprisonment for African Americans choosing to remain in the city.
                                                Most Americans, black as well as white, left Paris at this time.

                                                An inheritor of both African-American and French musical cultures, Lisa Grant is a priceless member of the immortals community and ranks as one of the most talented musicians of the immortal scene. Her confrontations against the Nazis in 1943 have made her a stronger person, ready to face any opponent ready to take her carreer or life away from her. It is Henri Valjean, once a swashbuckler and womanizing rogue who brought her to new Orleans and helped her mature into the woman she is now, himself having gained an edge after witnessing the horrors of two world wars; the former Peter Pan of Rebecca Horne's line of students, became an adult and felt that he had some responsabilities toward his pupil and it is their sense of responsability that allowed him to become a good mentor to Lisa : in acting/singing business as well as in matters of the sword.

                                                From the Journals of Joe Dawson, New Orleans 1978

                                                I took a first class flight to New Orleans this week--end, following Liza Grant to the Quarré were she was producing herself. Everyone is expecting her show tonight, and not just mortals : there is a fair number of Immortals who appreciate good Jazz in New Orleans and there will be quite a gathering tonight, if Idare write those words. An amiable gathering, I hope. Count on Liza to tame the tiger in us all and to unite Immortals and mortals in harmony, because this is where her talent truly lies. It would be crossing a boundary for us Watchers to soicalize with out Immortals so we stay discreet, but Marie Laveau, Nick Delgado, Haresh Clay, his companion Carter, Analise Thibadeau, even Carl Robinson have gathered tonight. No known quarrels between the lot and Haresh Clay retired from the Game a long time ago. Will there be Duncan MacLeod ? If there is, we may expect trouble since he is such a hot-blooded Scot. Didn't Haresh taunt him centuries ago ? We shall see who plays castanets tonight !

                                                Dancing all night on Liza Grant's magic voice, her energy like an eternal flame, lighting my young heart. I know I am but a mortal and a Watcher to boot, oath-bound, I cannot declare my love to Liza but I dream of dancing on her tunes, damn those crutches. Still, she sings liek an angel, a volcano of energy which benefits us all.
                                                She plays for herself, for us too, for the love of Jazz and blues, because she has forever to do so, to train herself into becoming hte best Jazz vocalist in the world. Oh love. I never played Jazz myself but back in my youth I was good with the guitar before I got drafted. Nam took my legs but it didn't take my heart. The death of Roy was a dramatic experience for me, I loved that man and without that damn non-interference rule he would still be among us. But I had interfered, it would have been a bullet through my head and I wouldn't be enjoying Liza Grant. My heart is sore, as much as the feet of Liza's audience, and I am dreaming of her. I am dreaming of her beign the One in the end, so she can sing forever.

                                                From the Chronicle of Roberta Hitchins :

                                                Currently the leader of Sister Roberta's Salvation & Glory Church, Reverend Hitchins is a paranoid who suspects everyone around her to be a tool of the government, of a rival revivalist, or of Satan himself and the US NorthEast bureau has gone through six Watchers there in the last 2 1/2 years. Roberta never allowed herself to befriend a fellow immortal, for fear of being someday stabbed in the back. Of the seven immortals she has killed so far, three came after her, another one tried to reach out to her and lost her head for it, the last one taught her a few tricks of the sword before his tricks were used against him. Hitchins never trusted anybody and has decided, through religion, to make a hell of Baltimore for born-again Christians living in the area.

                                                1992
                                                Duncan MacLeod becomes the guardian of pre-immortal Richie Ryan. Richie is nearly killed by Felicia Martins who targeted Duncan MacLeod; MacLeod defeats her but lets her go.

                                                MacLeod fights one of the most harrowing battles of his life when he takes on Grayson and is nearly killed. After finally defeating the ancient immortal, Duncan, Tessa and Richie leave for Paris.
                                                After investigating Darius' murder at the hands of the rogue Watchers, and being confronted with Xavier St. Cloud, the trio spends an uneventful year in Paris, reuniting with Robert & Gina de Valicourt, until Tessa and Richie are finally killed in a mugging.

                                                The Game destroyed Na’ilah Saniyah and Lila Abu-Sitta's relationship, a love story that lasted seven hundred years until both women were so impacted with the violence of the Game they started playing : going after rapists molesting women and childnen, war profiteers selling guns to Middle Eastenr war-torn countries, slavers trafficking European women sold on the North African slave markets, pushers selling drugs to children of America. And then against players of the Game killing Immortals because There Can Be Only One. They lost themselves in the 1990's before losing each other. Today they live separate lives, and though they fled woman's persecutions in the Middle East they still have to play the Game again and again in North America and Brazil. When they faced their latest challenges, a pair of terrorist Immortals, they won but didn't recognize each other. They understood they had finally become like their ennemies and grew bitter. Na’ilah and Lila agreed it was better to part ways, since the Game had consummed the love they once felt for each other.
                                                It is the true tragedy of the Game when it manages ot destroy a love story between two Immortals.

                                                Joe Muhamad was originally born in Algeria, his parents moved in America in 1899 for a better life in Lousiana when he was in his teens. His father was a metalsmith, making beautiful works decorating inns and hostels and making good money for his wife and four children. When WWI erupted, Joe was drafted with millions of other Americans in 1917 and sent to Europe where he was hit by mortal shells on the trenches, losing both of his legs. Unhappy with his life, Joe followed in his father's footsteps, hoping to find achievement in metalworking. He spent the nex twenty years honing his skills until one night in 1939 when young robbers came into his shop looking for a stash of money had with no doubt hidden in his shop. When trying to stop the robbers, Joe was fatally shot and died. That was the end of Joe Muhamad and the beginning of one of rarest immortals to enter the Watchers'Chronicles : an handicapped man, mentored by a lengendary immortal - Marie Laveau - and taught to use a shotgun to parry off Immortals coming after him. And he has been quite apt at using his gun to fend for himself in the Game, waiting for any heahdunter foolish enough to come after an "easy target" like him.

                                                Aristide Gumbel didn’t even recognize Ohane Munroe, the girl he raped in 1850 whom he didn’t recognize as an immortal, so drunk that he was on moonshine. But Ohane Munroe never forget him and swore to get to him someday. Finally she found him in Baton Rouge, the herbalist living satisfied of his immortality.
                                                Ohane pretended to be an innocent young immortal while Aristide pretended to be a nice guy, not the sexual predator he truly is. When he made the moves on her, Ohane stabbed him with a poisoned dagger, and while Aristide was reeling in shock, she picked her short sword and took his head. His Quickening burnt his house down, Ohane was free from her nightmares at last.

                                                Nine years after Amanda settled old scores with his boss, Andre Korda, and killed his friend Crysta, Raphael reinvented himself as security agent for a casino in Manaus, staying out of trouble as much as possible. One thing he learnt from Korda is that immortality spews trouble and that its better to stay on the side of the angels. So he does : Archangel Casino is the perfect place of hiding for him, and when an immortal comes for a challenge he takes his sword and chooses his ground. But that rarely happens now : what immortal can walk around with a sword those days with so many surveillance technology ?

                                                Some people use music to find immortality. Claudia Jardine uses her music to forget her Immortality. When she's out on the stage, nothing matters. There is no Game, there are no Rules, no strangers with swords. Only the timelessness of the music. Off stage, she's had to make some concessions to her condition. She travels with a crack security team at all times, but then so do a number of other tempermental primadonnas, so no one has really noticed anything out of the ordinary as far as that's concerned. And finally, after years of coaxing by her friend and mentor Duncan MacLeod, she's begun to study the martial arts with a private sensei, but claims she's doing it for the stress relief and the exercise -- she's still deeply denying the reality that someday she may have to use those skills to take someone else's head before they can get hers. She tries not to think at all about that, or about her future. Instead, she loses herself in the past, in the inner worlds of Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Mozart. If the security team does its job, she'll have plenty of time to worry about that other stuff later.

                                                Marie LaVeau was an illegitimate mulatto born in Saint Domingue, Haiti in 1794. Her father, Charles LaVeau, was a wealthy white planter, and her mother, Marguerite Darcantel, an African slave. Raised with Catholic teachings, she arrived in New Orleans in 1809 after a slave revolt and originally made a living as a hairdresser. She was first married in 1819 to Jacques Paris, an immortal, but he died soon after the wedding to the sword of Baron Samedi, vaudou master who turned her to immortality too and made her the vaudou pristress she is today.
                                                Marie was practicing voodoo and selling charms as early as 1830 and was married again around 1835 to Louis Glapion. When a hurricane hit New 0rleans in 1895, this second Marie LaVeau was seen floating down river on a log singing voodoo songs, this was the same Marie, impersonating her daughter.

                                                For a disfigured immortal woman living a recluse life on the outskirts of Seattle, Elspeth Nelson certainly had a lot of love in her life : two hundred lovers, six husbands ! She must have charisma to burn, to compensate for the hideous scar marring her neck and face. It is a scar she received during her first battle against immortal Ranil Senyaka, a headhunter from Sri Lanka, with an habit of using a whip in his battles, torturing his quarries before the kill.
                                                Elspeth Nelson was unfortunate enough to meet him in Sri Lanka in 1847 and fell before him in spite of the traing received from Betsy Mitchell. And yet, the strenght within her allow her kick Senyaka away and grab her sword. Senyaka lost his head after destroying a beautiful young immortal. For a time.

                                                Born from English parents who settled in Colombo, Sri Lanka, the young Elspeth had the habit of fleeing the good society of Colombo to go downtown for parties, and coming home on the tip of her foot around 5 in the morning before her parents awoke from slumber. Neither her father's authority, nor the teachers, nor the nuns could prevent her from living the life she wanted. And then she died during New Year's Eve after drinking too much.
                                                When Betsy Mitchell, her chaperone and friend of her mother, brought her home, she pretended everyhting was fine and secretly taught her of immortality, training her in swordfighting. Elspeth was determined to survive the Game and also to enjoy life at its fullest.

                                                Although keeping her scar, Elspeth had this energy and beauty within her, this spark of life that kept her going and attracting men to her. Those who didn't run from her in horror were greatly compensated : travels around the world, a lot of love, a wonderful companion with amazing tales about world history and secret stories.
                                                Sex too allowed her to keep her men : Elspeth spent fifty years in China with May-Ling Shen and Katherine in Greece, teachers who taught her the way of men and women, how they interact with each others and can please each others. This is how she became such a charismatic person to watch.

                                                off, interruted by mortal witnesses

                                                Another one of my disciples is Moesa, and I am rightly proud of how she turned out to be, a survivor of the Kingdom of Moab who now lives on the fringes of the immortal scene in Utah among the Mormons community,caring little about the looks of pity or scorn she gets because she cannot bear any children. God knows she has enough in her classes ! She escaped the blade of my brother Kronos at a time he was looking for me, avoiding torture, rape and death (did he know anything else ?) and the blades of several other hunters. Once a rape victim herself by Ahaziah of Ramoth-Gilerad, she spent centuries hunting him before Anatellon got to him first in Lutetia in 421. I am the one who sent a pigeon after her with a message, writing to her she could stop hunting and start healing. And healing she did, not like Cassandra (writing a mea culpa, old man?) who never stopped hunting me. My brother, my slave, hunting me for thousands of years. Now both are dead. Why do I surround my self with suchintense women, I don't know. Maybe I want to heal those women, make penance. Had I been less cruel in my young days, I wouldn't make penance so much, but then... Maesa wouldn't be here, active and healthy. Was Cassandra somehow giving me the incentive to be
                                                a healer after having been a Horseman ? Better ask Sean Burns next time I visit him.

                                                • Thanks for completing the North American line-ups, my friend, although you missed out the addendums for Seraphina, Madeline La Touché, Henry of Kent, Chang and Amanda. Could you post those to complete the chronicles, please...

                                                  Coming up next from me, Caleb Judge, the third Sin Eater...

                                                  BTW Thanks for the adjustments to the first two Sin Eaters.

                                                  Cheers
