Book: For Daws to Peck At
Bran
His official titles are Prince of Umbra, Lord of Crows, Echelon of Darkness, and Heir to the Darkseed, and he likes to pretend to be a Hollywood-handsome-rogue-pirate.
Jonathan
Jonathan is a vampire, created by Ravena and chosen for his special skill: he’s a seer. That is the truly remarkable part.
Liza
Elizabeth Oshun Thomas is a Night Child. She was 28 years old when she was made, born and raised in east London.
Mer’Qel
Empress Mer’Qel is a warrior mermaid who single-handedly united the clans of warring mer-people in the Pacific. She earned that right by defeating all their leaders in one seventy-eight hour stretch of combat, at the end of which she then celebrated loudly at a banquet, knocked out six assassins sent by her sister to take her out, and proceeded to dance four more hours until she finally needed sleep.
Ravena
A vampire, and Notte’s oldest surviving child (not his first, however). She’s immensely powerful, and has earned the right to run her Night Child family completely outside of Notte’s rules.
Salome
A Night Child with an unusual skill for dancing. Notte chose her, though he did not personally make her.
She was born in 1900, was made into a Night Child at the age of 22, and still maintains her flapper style just because she loves it.
Terrance
One of Notte’s “first-born,” which is to say a vampire Notte himself turned.
Terrance is Irish, born sometime in the 1300s.
