BEUFUS

 

BEUFUS

Physical characteristics:

Beufus has dirty brown hair and dull eyes. He's large and stocky, bigger than his brothers Cletus and Charlie. He only had two yellow teeth when he was alive and gained a set of vampire fangs after he was turned.

Personality:

Bossy, always wants to lead his brothers in mischief because he's bored with life and hates everything and everybody. Rules over his brothers by threatening violence. Dull and dim witted almost as dense as his brother Cletus. Does most of the talking for his brothers.

Abilities:

Beufus has the basic vampiric abilities; strength, speed, stamina, sharp nails that are used like claws, enhanced senses and the ability to heal from most small injuries. Like all vampires, he can't handle sunlight, wooden stakes to the heart or beheading. Each of these turn him to ash. Like all evil vampires, religious artifacts harm him as well. He has not learned how to transform or fly. While Beufus is extra strong, he can't maneuver very well. This means smaller vampires with more developed speed could easily avoid his massive hands.

Known History:

Beufus and his brothers lived in Jorgantown all their lives. They were satisfied with scratching out a small living doing dock work and hiring themselves out for farm work or cabin building. Their evenings were spent drinking at the pub and occasionally causing a ruckus in the town.

The night they finally met Eliza Pratchet, the supposed town witch, was their last night alive. They teased her, only to have the recently arrived Foresight family try to defend her. Something in Eliza's eyes made the brothers forget what they were doing and instead they found a quiet spot to sleep off their drink.

The vampire Fenroth happened across them and seeing the stocky built of both Beufus and Cletus, turned the two of them. Once a human has been bitten three times he or she begins to change. The transformation to vampirism isn't always overnight. The older the human, the longer it can take.

After the white warlock Dagda warded off the vampire lord Dracula from his property and began to set up a magical barrier to prevent any dark creatures from entering it, Dracula knew he would need inside agents to enact his revenge on his estranged wife, Eliza Pratchet, and the two children Eliza betrayed Dracula for. Realizing Fenroth's newest subjects were still in the incubation stage and therefore not dark creatures yet, Dracula commanded Fenroth to leave almost vampires Beufus and Cletus and their non-vampire brother Charlie where he found them, within the town. The barrier passed them by and once the full transformation was in effect, Dracula had three agents, (two vampire and one human) to use.

At first the men thought it was Dracula who turned them, since he was the vampire who summoned them once they woke up in their new lives. He sent them to retrieve Annabelle and Roland (the children Eliza rescued). They were also to kill Eliza on sight. They failed and Cletus was killed by Eliza. Beufus escaped through the barrier which burned his hair off and permanently sizzled his flesh.

Beufus met his end when he questioned Dracula.

GUARIN

 GUARIN

A good warlock and friend to Eliza.

Name Origin
French form of Germanic Warin, meaning "cover, shelter."

Physical characteristics:
Guarin appears young, in his twenties, and in good shape. Always seen garbed in a dark green hood and cloak with a green and blue robe. While he looks young, he is actually over seventy-five years old when Annabelle first met him in 1692. He took the Right of Ascendance sometime prior which if successfully completed, grants a warlock or witch immortality.

Personality:
A good, strong leader. Always willing to do what's right. He is determined to stand in the way of Dracula and his evil. Like his mentor, Dagda, his desire to stand up for what is right, no matter the cost, is unwavering.
After Dagda's assassination by Dracula, Guarin became the High Mage of the ancient Agents of Sorcery Protection and works from the North American division. He fought in the first Battle of Jorgantown after the barrier fell.

 

Despite the fact that the Coven have always acted as police to the unseen world, most white warlocks and witches remain in hiding. Hunted by Dracula’s forces for centuries, they operate in super-secret covens across the globe. No more than three in each group and always on the move, Guarin accepted new responsibilities after Dagda's death. He now has to keep the entire Agents of Sorcery Protection organized and hidden. He marshals their forces across the globe to constantly block Dracula’s attempts to take over the world. They regularly work with the prophetic Falabranwyn and the Holy Order of the Vampyr.

 

Guarin helped Blandia Blackburn to take the Right of Ascendance, a task he has been quoted as saying "was in some ways harder than fighting an army of werewolves."

 

Abilities:

Guarin practiced white magic under the teachings of the immortal warlock Dagda. His skills have been seasoned from decades of battles against Dracula and his many monster servants. Along with Dagda and Blandia Blackburn, Guarin created the magical barrier that protected Eliza Pratchet, Annabelle and Roland Foresight, the small English colonial settlement of Jorgantown and the Mohegan Indian village.

 

During the unpleasantness of the multiple monster attacks across the globe in 1752, Guarin appointed Jefferey Steadman as his second, and with him and Ethelda of the Order, marshaled their combined forces against the oncoming threats and organized the secret retrieval groups to find the Peyupei artifacts and get them to safety. He helped in the Battle of Philadelphia shortly afterward.
