Camelot: Hunters

Connor and Murphy are twin sons to Noah and Meagan.

To this day they still do not know who was born first.

When their father disappeared, accused of murder, their mother found work in the nearest Abbey.

Both boys lived a life of prayer and in good works to the Lord, educated and raised by the Monks, until as teenagers they saw first hand what their mother was enduring for their protection.  She died giving birth to another child, the bastard son of the Abbot.

The two boys in a fit of righteous anger, attacked the Abbot, killing him instantly.

Seeking some sort of justice for both their parents, they found themselves in Rome, and fell into studying for the Priesthood – seeking safety for themselves as well as their family name.  It was Father Kiernan who introduced them to Il Duce, but only once they had been Ordained.  He offered them a life to help those who could not help themselves, to do God’s work and cleanse the wicked from the face of the Earth.

(Dilios Note: it’s not known when they figured out Il Duce was their biological father)

Camelot: Lead Hunter

Born in Ireland, Noah was the the son of Jacob MacManus, and apprenticed to him as a tanner.  He took over his father’s business as his skills grew, expanding it as his reputation as an expert leather worker spread even beyond Ireland, and across the water to England.

He married Meagan, the girl from next door, whom he had known since they were mere children, and they settled into a good life that promised great prospects, which were only enhanced when she bore him twin sons.  The boys were Baptized, Connor and Murphy.

Six months later, the newly installed Archbishop of their Diocese, stopped into the shop demanding work to be done for his new home.  He had heard of Noah’s reputation and wanted only the best work, offering a vast sum of money for the rapid completion of all requested items.

Unable to refuse, Noah crafted the leather work for chairs and other furniture, as well as for personal goods such as purses and bags, and when the Church refused to pay, claiming the work was shoddy and inadequate, Noah killed the Archbishop’s secretary in a fight.

Knowing he would bring harm to his young family, even if he tried to explain his actions, Noah fled for his life.

He wandered for many decades, angry at the world, and seeking justice that seemed utterly unobtainable given the power of the Church, he finally came to Rome, and meeting Father Kiernan changed more than just his outlook, but his purpose in life.

He would later attribute Kiernan to giving him the path he needed to follow. (Dilios Note: Kiernan stated later it wasn’t quite meant the way Noah took it, but as God does not make mistakes…)

That was when the name Noah MacManus disappeared and Il Duce was born.

For many centuries he was also known as Lachtna – which in Irish Gaelic means ‘milk-colored’ as reference to his hair, and was used for a certain degree of intimidation as the same name is said to have belonged to an ancestor of Brian Boru.

No one is quite sure about all that Noah actually accomplished in his human life, but the tales live on to this day.

Il Duce then met the real Brian Boru.

David doesn’t talk about his time before he was handed over to Lord Beringar.  His family line is from Scotland, and that is about all he’ll say.

He was given to Hugh in a card game when he was 15 years old.  Hugh took him under his protection, and with help from Cadfael explained that he wasn’t needed to warm his bed.

After Cadfael ‘died’, and the three returned to Camelot, David began to flourish under the tutleage of the Clan.  He soon became friends with Harold who taught him about the pleasure of sex, instead of the power play he had been under.

It was through his friendship with Harold and John, he decided to use his knowledge to help others.  But to do this, he needed to be Turned so he went to the only man he ever saw as a father.

Camelot: Hunter

Callum and his twin brother Aguilar were born October 21st in the year of our lord 1460 AD and was in Masyaf.

They’re parents were Assassins, the little they knew of them, was that their father, Sebastiano was from Spain and their mother, Brigit, who was from Ireland.  Their father was trained at Masyaf, who on a mission, fell in love with Brigit, brought her back and trained her.  The two had been killed during the Spanish Inquisition, a year after the boys had been born.  They ended up raised by the Assassin Order, and trained to follow in their parents footsteps.

When they set out on their own missions, Callum went to Ireland, while Aguilar went to Spain.

Callum kept a low profile, finding an a small farm owned by the Lynch family, they took him in, and became the son they never had.  When they died he took over the farm, and used it as a hiding place and information stop.

During one of his own missions, he heard about Il Duce and the vendetta he seemed to be on. He made sure to casually meet him in the pub, only to discover his own mission.

The two became friends, and during a mission when they went after a corrupt Bishop, Callum ended up Turned.

Joshua was raised in the Wild West.  His father was a Union Soldier, and had installed in him the values of being a good man.  He learned to ride, shoot and herd cattle since he was a wee child.

He watched as the Wilderness closed.

Towns began to flourish as Ranches began to decrease.  He sold the family ranch, took the money and decided to travel.

A year later he found himself in London, where he was befriend by a real English Lord who was fascinated with Cowboys.  He took him to ‘David’s House’ where his life changed drastically.

Coming down the steps was the cutest boy he’d seen, who promptly tripped and landed in his arms.

The rest they say was history.

Jacob and Evie are fraternal twins.  They were born in Crawley, in 1868 AD.

Their parents moved to the City of London to find work and support their family.  When they were five years old, their mother died of illness, and at twelve, their father was killed in an industrial accident.

Jacob found a job to make sure his sister had food.  She worked right next to him however, refusing to leave him behind.  They supported each other fiercely, and fought anyone who got between them.  Their actions brought them connections with local street gangs who could protect them from the law and potential threats of a less than legal nature.

Jacob moved up the ranks of the fiercest gang, his direct approach and use of brass knuckles taking out all opponents, while Evie always got the ones who snuck out the back.

Fate intervened when they met Nico and Sherlock.  (Dilios Note: Not that I know the two of them were running through London… Nope, not me)

Nico saw potential in both of them. He offered them a chance, and a future.

The siblings took it.

Patrick was born in 1966AD, in Armagh, Northern Ireland to Mary Ann McKenna, a former Nun.  His biological father is unknown.

She raised him to be a devout Catholic, attending Mass every day of his life, and teaching him that God loved him, and He had a destiny waiting for him.

When he was six years old, he lost his mother in a UVF bombing at Armagh Cathedral – a protest against the visit by a Titular Archbishop on an Apostolic Mission from the Vatican, who had come to Ireland to try and broker peace.  The boy’s survival saw him labelled as ‘The Little Miracle of Saint Patrick’.

The Archbishop took Patrick back with him to Italy, formally adopting him, stating that he would raise the boy in God’s Church.

Patrick had the Vatican as his playground and school yard.  He remembered most fondly the Vatican Police officer who usually caught him running from the Nuns and dragged him back to his studies.

As he got older, he found himself talking with that same officer for hours, looking to him for wisdom and companionship.

Though he didn’t have to, when he was 18 he demanded that he follow through with his National Service to the Italian Military.  Though he never learned to use a gun, he excelled at flying helicopters.  Patrick never told the Vatican Police Officer, that he knew it was him who had made sure Patrick was safe during those two years.

When he returned, he dedicated his life to the Church, going through Seminary and becoming a Priest.  When his ‘father’ became Pope, he took the position as Camerlengo – much to the dismay of many older men in the Church who had sought the position for themselves.

He was proud to see his friend go on to become Inspector General of Vatican Police.

When his father suddenly died, he was devastated.

The night of Conclave 2006AD, everything changed.

Bond is possibly not James’ actual surname, but one he took later.  Rumor suggests that he chose it from a descendant, but no one knows for sure.

James is M’s son. From his mother, he learned everything about Court, spying, and the manipulation of others to obtain information.  She trained her son well, and had hopes for him to marry the next Queen, but was soon disappointed.

After she was Turned, she quickly Turned her son too.

They would not claim the Throne, not desiring that much unbridled power and unmitigated misery, but instead work in the shadows for England’s betterment.

Cloudjumper according to Hiccup is a Stormcutter, because of the abilities to cut through weather due to their unique two sets of wings.  He’s about the size of Draco, with owl like expressions.  He has an easy going personality, and can be very playful.  He’s very loyal to Valka, who come to find out has returned in Paul Mallory.

No one knows where Draco comes from, nor do they know how old he is.

He says he’s as old as the stars and knows more of this world and beyond, than even the Vampires.

There were more of his kind once, but Bowen had hunted most of the down, including the last female of Draco’s size.

(Dilios Note: He still hasn’t forgiven Bowen for that)

He’s stayed close to Bowen over the years, living nicely in his cave under Tintagel.

For an old creature he loves his high tech items, and is likely the only dragon with a StarkPhone.

William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, also called William the Marshal (Norman French: Williame li Mareschal,  French: Guillaume le Maréchal), was an Anglo-Norman soldier and statesman. He served five English kings—Henry II, his sons the “Young King” Henry, Richard I, and John, and finally John’s son Henry III.

Knighted in 1166, he spent his younger years as a knight errant and a successful tournament competitor; Stephen Langton eulogized him as the “best knight that ever lived.” In 1189, he became the de facto earl of Pembroke through his marriage to Isabel de Clare whose Mother was Aoife MacMurrough and father was Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, though the title of earl was not officially granted until 1199 during the second creation of the Pembroke earldom. In 1216, he was appointed protector for the nine-year-old Henry III, and regent of the kingdom.

Before him, his father’s family held a hereditary title of Marshal to the king, which by his father’s time had become recognized as a chief or master Marshalcy, involving management over other Marshals and functionaries. William became known as “the Marshal”, although by his time much of the function was delegated to more specialized representatives (as happened with other functions in the King’s household). Because he was an earl, and also known as the marshal, the term “earl marshal” was commonly used and this later became an established hereditary title in the English peerage.

(You were just introduced to him in Mission Impossible: Bonds)

(And since this was supposed to post on the 26th – getting an extra one today!!)

Mark Wessex was the first born and only son born to the Wessex family.   He was raised to take over the Wessex title and land, highly educated, and skilled at diplomacy.

He married as it was expected.  The two cared for each other, and became good friends, but were never a love match.  It took time before they announced they were expecting a child, but tragedy struck and he lost both of them in child birth.   By this time he had also lost his parents and was fully Lord Wessex.

He had no intention of marrying again, instead focused on what he could do to make the people who relied on him have a better life.  His thoughts, ideas was radical at the time (ironically still are in some areas).

Mark doesn’t talk about his Turning, that it was offered and he took the opportunity.
