GRANDMOTHER LAILA

Laila (female Danish, means “born during the night”)(lay-la)

History:

Birth name was Agnes. She was swapped as a baby by a Roma tribe and renamed Esmeralda for the paste emerald she wore on her neck since she was a baby. In 1482, at age 16, Esmeralda was falsely sentenced to hang for witchcraft. Roxana Dawn was tasked with bringing Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame into Dracula’s fold. She saw how he loved Esmeralda, so she swapped the girl with another who hung instead. She turned Esmeralda and while the girl transformed, Roxana convinced Quasimodo that the only way he could be with Esmeralda is if he became a vampire as well.

 Quasimodo rebelled, fought off Roxana and escaped with Esmeralda. She changed her name once more to Laila because she was ‘born during the night’. Laila made it her life’s mission to help the lost and downtrodden. She helped many of her fellow Roma people, as well as many lost vampires who didn’t want to be vampires are didn’t know what to do with their new life. She formed the Mullo tribe which is a mix of mortals and vampires. Eliza’s parents were members of the tribe and after Dracula killed them, Laila raised her. She is considered Eliza’s 4th great grandmother. Laila went on to be a guide and mentor to Annabelle and Roland Foresight and Thomas Dunston. By the time Annabelle, Roland and Thomas met her in 1720 she looked 18 because she advanced one every one hundred years.

QUASIMODO

 

QUASIMODO

Description:

He has a large misshapen head, heavy shoulders, his upper back stood up impossibly above his head. The left side of his face was swollen. His puffy lips turned downward, as did his left eye. It remained closed. His right eye, almost twice the size of the left, had a dull, yellow pupil at its center with a slight trace of crimson. Only a small lump of flesh protruded where his left ear should’ve been. An incredible hunch rose, and his massive shoulders seemed to be extensions of the large mound. By contrast to his upper body, his lower half—including his legs—seemed almost normal, although a bit on the thin side. Has massive arms that extended from his oversized upper torso. Thick as logs, the arms resembled a gorilla’s. He shifted his massive weight on his arms, also like a gorilla would.

 

Vampirism has advanced Quasimodo’s mind, making him incredibly intelligent. He is well read, brilliant and has a huge heart. Loyal to the Order, the Mullo tribe, his friends, and expressly his love, Laila.

 

History:

The events of the Hunchback of Notre Dame happened just like in the original novel by Victor Hugo except the ending. Roxanna watched Quasimodo during the events of his book. Thought him a strong stupid dupe for Dom. Saw that Quasimodo loved Esmeralda so Roxie made her into a vampire. Quasimodo agreed to be turned but rebelled, fought off Roxie and escaped with Laila (formally Esmeralda).

Desperately fleeing from Roxanna and Dracula’s other servants, Laila and Quasimodo wandered Europe, finding lost people and helping them run away from persecution. Helped Laila form her own tribe called the Mullo tribe.

Assisted Annabelle, Thomas, Yoska and the orphans hide in the Paris catacombs until Racheal arrived. Then guided the orphans to the Mullo tribe.

Worked for the Order of the Righteous Vampyr during many assignments over the years including the Peyupei Quest, the American Revolution and the rescue of Frankenstein’s monster.

CHARLIE

 

CHARLIE

Physical characteristics:

Charlie has sandy blond hair which is always a mess. He's scrawny and always has a wicked grin unless he's in trouble by his brothers or caught by members of the Order of the Righteous Vampyr.

Personality:

He followed the lead of his brothers Beufus and Cletus while they were alive or undead. Scared of his older brother because of the many beatings inflicted upon him by Beufus. Often makes mistakes or says things that annoy Beufus. Always tries to be his brother Beufus' favorite when the brothers were alive or undead. After their deaths, Charlie would do the same for Dracula. He spies on others and tattles as a way of earning favoritism. He has an awkward laugh and always gives off a creepy vibe. He is stuck as a teenager for a few hundred years. If he can survive vampire hunters and pissed off vampires, he could advance to adulthood eventually. Knowing Charlie's tendency to annoy others, that would be an incredible feat.

 Abilities:

Charlie 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. He can maneuver perfectly. He has learned to dodge and escape others clutches, missing danger by inches. He can hide extremely well and perfected his spying technique.

 Known History:

Charlie 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 Charlie's older brothers, Beufus and Cletus, turned the two of them. He ignored Charlie because the boy was too scrawny and beneath his notice. 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.

 The white warlock Dagda set up a magical barrier around Jorgantown and the surrounding woods as a means to protect Eliza and the vampire younglings Annabelle and Roland Foresight. The barrier would prevent any dark creatures from entering. The vampire lord 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.

 Dracula sent them to retrieve Annabelle and Roland. They were to kill Eliza on sight. They failed and Cletus was killed by Eliza. Later Beufus was killed by Dracula, leaving Charlie alone. Despite the deaths of his brothers, Charlie continued to spy for Dracula and successfully kidnapped the Foresight's friend, Henry. Charlie served his dark masters well and was awarded by becoming a vampire. He continued to serve Dracula for years.

 In 1725 he became bored and disillusioned with the way Dracula was doing things. He felt a more direct approach should be handled. He was responsible for the large Eastern European vampire scare of the early 1700s. Dracula tortured him as a result. In 1752 he failed his master once more and was given to Usha as a “plaything”.

 The reason Dracula doesn’t kill him is because he feels Charlie’s unique stupidity and annoyance is the perfect tool to enrage Dracula’s other servants so he can use them as a blunt instrument when necessary. He can also be used to test the loyalty of some servants due to Charlie’s frequent desire to try methods Dracula doesn’t approve of.

HAWKE

Full Name:

Ethan Hawke but he goes by his last name.

Physical characteristics:
He wears a trench coat loaded with specialized weapons as well as a belt and straps loaded with more weapons and ammunition. He has a long scar across his right eye thanks to the vampire Roland. Several other scars cover his body from many battles. He is missing two fingers on his left hand.

Personality:
Hawke is gruff, vengeful, and angry. He is also very careful and calculating. To stay alive as long as he has, Hawke is always careful to watch his back and never stay in the same place twice. He has no scruples and is not above killing other humans to get at his prey.

 Known History:

Ethan Hawke had a brother named Aaron. Aaron became obsessed with mythical and supernatural creatures after an incident when he was a child. He traveled the world researching the strange and unknown and then compiled all this information complete with sketches into his book; Aaron Hawke’s Guide to Mythical Beasts.

 Enraged at this, the Vampire Lord Dracula slaughtered Aaron and his parents. Ethan arrived home late and caught Dracula in the act. He hid himself and was able to escape Dracula's attack. From that moment on Ethan dedicated himself to the eradication of every creature in his brother's book.

 He began to only go by his last name with the hope that it would strike fear and terror into the creatures' hearts. He trained himself in every way to battle and kill the monsters that inhabited his world.

He found others who lost family and friends thanks to creatures of the night and recruited them. He trained them and built an army of vampire hunters known as the Hunters and later as the Hawkes.  He has set up his hunters in every major city. He has safe houses everywhere and has successfully kept the locations secret.

 He believes night creatures are a superstitious and cowardly lot and uses that superstition to build his own dark legend, so the monsters have someone to fear.

Through the following centuries the Hawkes became the biggest threat against vampires, werewolves and any creatures of the unseen world.

Weapons and abilities:

He has two katana swords, a gift from a Samurai vampire hunter. Rumored to be folded so tightly that they can cut through any form of magic or magical beast. He also has throwing stars, a long knife, a grappling hook, a crossbow and a quiver full of silver tipped wooden arrows as well as plenty of silver shot for his arsenal of guns. Every weapon has been soaked in holy water. He can set expert traps, track monsters from nation to nation. His favorite weapon is his small sword Hell-Slayer. It has a thick tip that tapers down to its hilt. A flick of a latch and two smaller blades sprung out from either side. The weapon resembled a warped cross.
