"Half of them are mad, the other half are worse"
the 'verdies' | vampire coven~
The Verdoux coven is one of the oldest pureblood vampire covens still in tact in today's world. It was created by first generation pureblood vampires Demetrius and Tabitha who had five children; Viktor, Athena, Theron, Alistair and Gideon.
This coven is widely respected and in some cases feared by other vampires and races. They were all fierce in the war, killing thousands over the years they've lived but they have not escaped loss in their own numbers either. Demetrius, Tabitha, Theron and Gideon perished during the war.
VIKTOR
634 .x. Local Resident .x. David Gandy .x.
Viktor Verdoux is the older brother of Athena and Alistair. He's short-tempered and unpredictable but doesn't completely lack in sense. He doesn't care about the lives he takes. Why should he? They mean nothingt to him. In fact, he enjoys taking lives.
He doesn't care about other races but he does have some level of respect towards powerful individuals who fought in the war however, he still also thinks he is superior to the other races. He sees the other races as animals almost; you can play with them, you can keep them as pets, leave them be or you can kill them. He does not believe their lives should be cared about one bit.
It would be fair to say he's a womanizer. He's had many children over the years but the only current living ones are Minerva, Sienna and Melanie- all to different mothers. These three also seem to be the ones he's ever cared about the most. He's not a sappy father though. He's tough, seemingly uncaring. He let's them do as they wish and if they get into trouble he let's them deal with the consequences unless it's to do with other supernatural families. He may also intervene if he thinks they'll be killed because blood is blood.
Viktor was the vampire that killed Pollux Septentrio and caused the bad blood between the two families. Like all the people he's killed- he didn't and still doesn't care that he took Pollux Septentrio's life. He knows about Castor Septentrio's hate towards him and doesn't exactly fear the Boreai but he's also not stupid enough to brush it aside like it's nothing- he's cautious.
ATHENA
625 .x. Local Resident .x. Bridget Regan .x.
Athena is extremely intelligent but also merciless and cold-hearted. Much like her older brother, she is also short-tempered and unpredictable. She dislikes all other races. Like Viktor, she sees them as inferior to her. She thinks they should bow down to vampires as the superior race.
However, despite her intelligence it can be said that she lacks in sense at times. Athena is the vampire that killed Cicerio and Accalia Russus. This led to the death of Athena's niece.
Derica Russus mistook Athena's niece, Delaney, for Athena and killed her earning Athena hate from her own brother Alistair because Athena didn't have to attack the Siren family- especially since they weren't involved in the war and so, she was the one who caused his daughter's death in his eyes.
She has only had one child- Seth and she's fiercely protective of him.
ALISTAIR
613 .x. Owner of The Blood Inn .x. Raphaël Personnaz .x.
For a Verdoux, Alistair is quiet and laid-back but he can be a very nasty male when he is tested. Unlike his older brother and sister, Alistair thinks more before he acts.
The one thing he does share with Viktor and Athena is that he does think vampires are superior- but he doesn't necessarily see the other races as scum. He is also not racist.
Alistair actually supported the Peace Treaty.
He was married to Hestia Sicarus- who was the sister of Themis Sicarus, the Governess at Northvale Academy. Alistair actually loved Hestia and had a daughter named Delaney with her but sadly, Hestia died in during the war.
He's pissed off with his sister and doesn't talk to her because in his eyes, she caused his daughter's death when she killed Cicerio and Accalia Russus, causing their eldest daughter Derica to retaliate and kill his own Delaney who Derica had mistook for Athena.
He'd actually rather his sister had died than his daughter.
His daughter was killed in 2003 and she was 223 when she died.
MINERVA
24 .x. Full-time barmaid at The Blood Inn.x. Katie Mcgrath .x.
Minerva has the short temper of her father, the intelligence of her aunt and logic of her uncle but on top of this she's a female that is very skilled at the art of seduction and manipulation. She's female and she knows that this in some cases gives her advantage and has the ability to wrap others around her little finger.
Despite coming off as cool and calm, beneath the surface within her veins runs the fiery cold blood of a Verdoux. When angered- like the generation before her- she is a force to be reckoned with.
As for her views of other races, like the generation before her she sees vampires as the superior race but isn't racist towards other races. Well, other races apart from werewolves because after all...they're just dogs?
SIENNA
22 .x. College student .x. Felicity Jones .x.
Of Viktor's three daughters, Sienna is the one that lives every day as it comes and as if it was her last. She loves to party, to flirt, to drink, to feed. She's careless, reckless and likes to spends most her time just enjoying her life. She can be compared to wildfire; uncontrollable, wild, untamed and leads a path of destruction in it's wake.
Despite being a pureblood, Sienna struggles with her blood-lust which she secretly is worried about seeing as she knows that control of your blood-lust makes you stronger. She's trying to work on controlling this but at the moment she continues to struggle.
Unlike her older half-sister and the generation before her she doesn't really care that 'other races are inferior'. She has a 'who cares?' attitude about them. Just as long as they stay out of her way she neither particularly likes nor dislikes the other races.
SETH
19 .x. Colllege student .x. Tom Sturridge .x.
Now, Seth is the most like the older generation. He is cold, seemingly uncaring and harsh. He's very intelligent but also quiet like his uncle but when he does speak he's very blunt and to the point; never sugar-coating reality for anyone.
He finds his mother's protectiveness of him over-bearing and in all honesty? It irritates him a great deal. He also finds what she did to the Russus family foolish and with no sense or purpose behind it and he understands to some extent his uncle's hatred towards his mother.
Seth does not seem to really like or dislike his cousins and has rather indifferent towards them
He shares the belief that other races are inferior to vampires and is slightly racist.
MELANIE
16 .x. Fourth Year Student .x. Astrid Berges-Frisbey .x.
Despite being the youngest of the Verdoux coven, Melanie should not be underestimated one bit. Yes, she is more innocent than the older members, she has not yet fully matured as a vampire and she was still quite young when the war still raged on. Melanie knows that she belongs of a powerful, old coven and that she is a third generation pureblood vampire and has a sense of pride over it.
Usually she's rather nice and to some extent sweet-spirited but she is still a Verdoux so she can snap and turn very rather nasty within a heartbeat. But, she also often uses her innocent angelic looks to advantage and brings out the crocodile tears that enables her to charm and worm her way out of trouble and sticky situations.
