Characters of the Dead Night Saga
Cybelle DeHamphir
Cold and lethal, with a hell of a sharp tongue, Cybelle is the last of the Sirith Magi, a race of hybrid Night creatures.
After running away from her world as a teenager, Cybelle's path to the Guild was one of thievery, crime and dishonour; her only aim in life to ammend her 'sins' she believes to have committed by allowing her friends and family to have met a grim fate when she was young.
Cybelle is known as something of a dark horse in the genteel circles of society, but that's probably just as well...because if someone need's silencing, she's one of the best for the job...
James Lovett
The tank of the Guild, James is the dashing swordfighter with a heart of gold. A half Lycanthian Wolfchild, half Vampire, it's his job to take care of the Guild's overseas affairs.
James spent his years since the great Night war in the military, signing up every few years with a new identity. He came to the Guild when he finally realised that building the British Empire was no longer a productive use of his time, and so turned his hand to the more precise and probably more just business of assassination; though all those military years haven't quite worn off.
James finds comfort in music, and is known for the beautiful piano melodies that fill the Guild with hope.
Avangelene Wright
Avangelene is wise and subtle, considered by most to be the brains behind the Guild. Originally a pure blooded Witch, Avangelene was turned part Vampire when escaping the Night Council's torture, as well as her vision being permanantly damaged.
Avangelene and her brother Emmett founded the Guild after successfully escaping the clutches of the Night's corrupt government. She has since been hellbent on learning to protect those she calls family, or what she has left of it.
Her Noble blood allows Avangelene to see visions of the future, although it often does her more harm than good. However, she has never let her condition damage her pride and enduring willpower.
Emmett Wright
A Noble Witch and former doctor, Emmett is one of the Guild's founders, but prefers papers and accounts over guns and chases.
Many say that Emmett is unstable, damaged by the unspeakable mental torture he was forced to endure when he and his sister were captured by the Night Council. Despite this, he is incredibly loyal and caring, particularly towards Avangelene, of whom he is very protective.
Emmett's Witch blood allows him to access a power called 'Glamour', which is a dangerous form of mind control and illusion, banned at the Guild.
Despite his questionable state,Emmett is practical and passionate, which is both his blessing and his curse...
Elizabeth Vice
Pure Vampire Elizabeth has a reputation yet to be challenged as a beautiful, lethal killing machine.
Allegedly the last of the house of Vice, a proud Noble Vampire clan, Elizabeth's intentions, much like her path to the Guild are a mystery. All anybody knows is to never cross her...it's probably just as well, because anything that could make a Vice Vampire fall from grace is best left well alone.
Despite her reputation and short tempered, somewhat lazy nature, Elizabeth stands up for her beliefs (whatever they are) and considers an insult to her friends a personal attack...and the consequences of that are never pretty.
Lina is a Witch, and an old friend of Cybelle's from Roses for the Dead, brought to the Guild and trained as an Assassin so that she could build herself a better life.
Lina is upbeat and hopeful, despite a history of bad luck, and always tried to see the best of a situation. She does however cause Cybelle a great deal of Guilt, as she had the chance to save her long ago.
Lina is a fantastic long distance fighter, with a brilliant aim, though she does have her reservations about the nature of her job.
Leanne (Lina) LaBelle
Emma Bennett
Emma is the Guild's munition expert, and weapons designer, creating machines of mass destruction to aid the Assassins in their missions.
A Lycanthian Wolfchild of Noble blood, little is known of the details of Emma's reasons to join the Guild, though it was definately after a major family dispute that she never speaks of.
Despite a dark past and a similarly morbid obsession, Emma has a cheery disposition and even in the darkest hours of the Guild's history, she has danced through life and only come back with a few cuts a bruises...and usually a bigger gun.
Accalia Bennett
Cousin to Emma Bennett, Accalia mysteriously turned up to the Guild to aid on a mission, and has never left.
Not much is known about Accalia's past, but she is a little more reserved than her cousin. Both Bennetts share a passion for explosions...
When she's not making firearms and blowing things up, Accalia can be a surprisingly caring person, and will defend those close to her at any cost.
Edward North
Edward North is a former human Vampire, turned as a soldier for the Night Wars. He dedecated most of his life to hunting Night people, but over time has come to sympathise with some of them. Despite a hard, slightly sarcastic exterior, Edward has a sympathetic streak, and a strong desire to start anew and put old grudges behind him.
Marrok Lovett
Step-brother to James, Marrok is a pure Lyca. He was the bastard son of the Lovett family, but despite this, his father's favourite.
Marrok is a notorious double crosser, and fiercely loyal to his clan name. He is also a huge nuisence to his step-brother, who does not approve of his vendetta. Nonetheless, every few years, Marrok makes a new attempts at recruiting James for his cause...and every years fails.
Verity Harman
A wise old sage and the Guild's very own double agent, Verity is a stern but caring Fey Witch, who is seen by many as the "mother" of the Guild.
Despite fighting for the opposite side in the Night Wars, Verity secured her safety, and later that of Avangelene and Emmett, through her invaluable status in the Night Senate of London and the Joint Council.
Verity is a skilled negotiator and sorceress and will use any means neccecary to protect her own.
Jessie DelAmor
Jessie DelAmor is an Aristocrat Vampire, neice to Lord LeBlanc, the Head of the Paris Senate. She founded the Sun Sector of the Guild, and makes it her business to pick up the lost souls and wandering mercinaries of the Night and train them as a Assassins.
Jessie is a practical, sharp woman, who no self respecting person wants to cross. Not only is she an adept fighter and a fearless Assassin, but as a Noble Vampire, she has lethal telekenetic abilities. Her preferred weapon is a huge hook-handled umbrella conceling a thin blade.
Pierce Hale
Pierce is Cybelle's estranged uncle, who disowned her father for marrying into the Saage family. He is a true politician, whose words can never be trusted, and has a great deal of influence in the Senate and Council. He infuritaes the Guild with his constant prying, and his intentions seem most questionable....
Lowell Bennett
Lowell Bennett is a shady character whose intentions are yet to be made clear to the Guild...but whatever they are, they can't be alltogether good. Lowell is many faced, and has a cocky, laid back way about him.
Not much is known for sure, but he seems to have a patchy history with Emma and Accalia...something neither of them dare to tell...
