Character Introduction / Vampire Council1

Sylum Inspiration: Christopher Johns

Vampire Council: Spy Network

 

Christopher was the middle son of merchant. He got lucky when he became the Steward of one of King Arthur’s Knights, Andre Marek.

When King Arthur sent his Knights on a quest to find the Holy Grail, he took care of Marek and made sure he had everything he needed.

It was while they were in France when everything went wrong. When Marek’s horse went lame, they sent the rest of the group ahead, assuring them they will catch up.

They came upon a small town with a manor up on the hill. Marek set out to see if they could find a place to stay, until they acquired another horse, except for the fact he couldn’t understand the lady of the house.

It was Christopher who was able to get them a place in the barn. Over time, he watched as Marek fell for the Lady of the House, then stayed to defend her and her lands. Christopher stayed by his side, and when his Knight was Turned, he requested the same.

Character Introduction / Vampire Council1

Sylum Inspiration: Quintus Fabius Tacitus

Vampire Council: Hunter

 

Quintis was the firstborn son of the Tacitus family. He was a disappointment to his family when he stayed in the Army instead of leaving to become a politician.

His reason for staying had to do with his friendship with Maximus Decimus Meridius, who he later betrayed by following Commodus’ orders and accepting the position as General of Pretorian Guard – bringing honor to his family name.

When he was ordered to have Maximus executed, he sent his worst men, hoping his friend could escape. He was thrilled, shocked, and horrified when he saw Maximus at the Colosseum fighting as a gladiator.

He kept to himself and waited for the moment he could redeem his personal honor. As Commodus fought with Maximus on the arena floor, Quintus kept his men from giving the Emperor a weapon, letting Maximus finish the job.

As they carried Maximus’ body out of the Colosseum, guilt ate at him for all the things he had done. He silently vowed to make it right.

It was then he discovered Maximus had been Turned and was a Vampire. Odysseus later sat down with Maximus and Quintus, telling them about the world of Vampires. They also promised to come back in one year and a day to take matters in their own hands if the two Mates didn’t figure things out for themselves. A year and a day later Odysseus Turned Quintus at both men’s request. They took the newly Mated pair back to the Council where Imenand had to do some quick explaining, and then set them up as Hunters.

Sylum Information1

Update/Changes: Sylum

Updates/Changes Within Sylum

  • We’ll be updating the password on Nov 1st.  Do not worry.  We’ll be sending out notifications/reminders starting from now (on here and the group password).   We’ll be sending out the new password starting in September, which will give you two months to adjust before it changes officially over in November.
  • This will become a new precedence in updating/changing password on a yearly bases.
  • We’ll be adjusting how snippets are presented in the Archive, more information on that will follow.  But basically it will be easier to navigate where they are located.
  • We’ll be working to remove all story elements (including snippets) from the blog itself.  At the moment all stories that are in the Archive have already been removed from the blog, we’ll be also removing snippets and anything that was non-cannon.   Snippets as stated above are in the Archive, but anything non-cannon will be removed completely.  As for ‘Afternoon Fic’ the only one this will affect is Still Breathing as it’s a Sylum Story – the rest can stay.
  • There will be some changes to Events starting next year.  DO NOT PANIC – we’re not taking anything away!! Calm down it’s okay 🙂 the only thing we’ll be doing is changing how we present materials.   More information will be forthcoming in the next few months.
  • If you’re wondering what’s up with all these changes.  It’s in precaution of protecting Sylum, along with the creators and readers.
  • If you have any questions please feel free to email me at (sylumclan@gmail.com)

Border Clan / Character Introduction1

Sylum Inspiration: Brisco County Jr.

Border: Hunter

 

Brisco works as a Political Science teacher at Charles Xavier’s School in order to be close to his Mate.  While still works occasionally for Scurlock as a Hunter for Border Clan.

Brisco County Jr. is the son of the famed US Marshal, Brisco County, Sr.  Growing up, all he wanted to do was follow in his father’s footsteps.  After he was shot and almost killed on a mission his father sent him on, his family decided to send him to Harvard.

At Harvard, Brisco earned his law degree, but realized that being a lawyer wasn’t what he wanted to do.  While traveling back to his home, he learned that his father had been killed by the Blythe Gang.

He vowed to carry out his father’s last job and bring in John Blythe, so he teamed up with two of his father’s US Marshal friends, James Hickok and Noah Dixon.

During a standoff with Blythe, Brisco was injured and subsequently Turned.
