Tatjana Darcangel

Tatjana Darcangel was born in Saint-Étienne, France to a successful lawyer father and a homemaker mother. Tragedy struck the young family and Tatjana was sent to live at an orphanage until the age 16.

Dreaming of becoming a ballet dancer changed when she was discovered dancing in a nightclub by a modeling agent. Tatjana went to Paris for her first test shoot where a star was born! In Paris, Tatjana met her Sire, Josh aka Ivoryspider who introduced her to the night life and more importantly, eternal life.

At the height of her career, Tatjana left Paris and pursued America in hope of more fame. Tatjana’s modelling agency in New York made great demands on her. She remains one of the top five supermodels in the modelling industry today.

Tatjana moved to the Garden District of New Orleans, Louisiana. A historic mansion was given to her by wealthy businessman, Jorge Escobar in 2003 before his disappearance. She married handsome Ethan Darcangel shortly after and both moved into the mansion with the rest of their extended family.

In 2005 after a failed marriage and then remarrying again to Arcene Louie Coltrane-Darcangel, Tatjana regretfully left New Orleans to return home to France. She was suffering from mental anguish and depression that sent her spiralling downward. Her Sire proposed to her during this time which made Tatjana confused and she pushed him away. Arcene purchased a mansion for her to live in and to recover. It wasn't that easy, Arcene left Tatjana shortly after they moved in. He could not handle watching the love of his life slowly dissolve.

In March 2008, Tatjana became a widow. Arcene was violently murdered in Prague. No other details are being released at this time.

Tatjana remains in Paris with her new family that she carefully started to develop. The past still haunts her and she sadly misses what she left behind. Those memories she holds close, but now it was time to make new ones.

Belle Darcangel

Belle Darcangel was born in Baton Rogue, Louisiana, but grew up all over the US as an "army brat", the family never remaining in one place for any longer than a year. Giving up on trying to fit in with all the different kids all over the country, Belle learned early on to develop her own style and a "if you don't like it I don't care attitude". It's an attitude she stills has to this day and if she changes her style, (which is often) it's on her own terms and no one else's.

After graduating from high school she took to the road, working as a singer in various bars and lounges across the country. That is how her ex husband, Ryder Harmington first saw her and fell madly in love and after a week long whirl wind romance, they were married. It didn't take long for her to discover his obsessive, controlling nature and jealous of the attention she got, he forced her to quite singing. Being the free spirit that she is it didn't take long for the situation to become intolerable and she packed a bag and left. Knowing he was possessive enough not to let her go and that he'd come after her, she once again moved around the country working various jobs, but never again singing. She carried a fear she would discover that with the one night her husband, in a fit of rage, had wrapped his hands around her throat nearly squeezing the life from her, he had robbed her of her voice.

Three years later she found herself with a nice chunk of cash from the divorce settlement and wanting for once to settle down in one place and have something to call her own, she searched for a business to purchase. With only a high school education and a ton of work in the bar business, when she found The Old Absinthe House for sale she thought it would suit her perfectly.

It didn't take her long to meet the Darcangel family. She met first Daemonis, who was a frequent patron of the bar and then Tatjana, the head of the Darcangel family. She also caught the eye of Thalyn Exodus and although married to Adora Darcangel, he pursued Belle relentlessly. He showed her all that a life of immortality could offer, tempting her more and more to the other side. And when war broke out in New Orleans, between the immortals, led by Thalyn himself, and the mortals, she found herself caught in the cross fire and fatally shot. After being rescued by Thalyn, he brought her to Tatjana to be embraced into her new life as her chylde. In March of 2005, at the mortal age of 34, Belle was born into eternal life.

Her husband finally caught up with her sometime after that with the news that due to an error in their divorce papers they were still legally married. He told her he was terminally ill and wanted to spend his remaining days with her. She didn’t buy that for a second, but some months later he did in fact die, leaving his business empire to her, of which she wanted no part in. She still feels that he’s up to something.

Several months after her embracement Tatjana disappeared. Ethan and Belle had only met on a few occasions, but they immediately felt a connection with one another, a closeness that didn't come along that often in life and became friends, avoiding any romantic entanglements. And so it was his name on her lips as she lay dying in the tunnels underneath her bar, after an attack by an elder vampire that killed her brother Daniel and left her bleeding out the last bit of blood that remained in her. He came to her rescue shared his blood with her, then safely ensconced her in his home and nursed her back to health. As her strength returned he visited her often, spending the time getting to know one another. He also taught her many things in the following weeks, one of those being to shape-shift...her animal form being a saucy calico cat, her fur a myriad of colors, much a tribute to her own constantly changing hair color.

Life returned pretty much to normal after that. Thalyn came by less and less, to which Belle resigned herself to…especially after meeting someone else. Michael Eaglewing burst into the bar and her life and literally turned things upside down. He’s rough and tough and a hunter no less but between their frequent bouts of fighting they have managed to come to care for one another.

Belle Darcangel is currently being held in an underground palace by an elder vampire prince who has blood bound her to him.

Dante Darcangel

Dante Darcangel is Tatjana‘s mortal half brother. He has a different mother, who lives in Ireland. During his childhood Dante moved with his Mother several times to Scotland and Germany, but Ireland is where he grew up. With no father figure present until his early teens when his mother re-married, Dante describes his childhood as a period when he felt very lonely and alienated.

In his late teens, Dante traveled on his own, much to his Mother’s dismay, but he did not like living under the same roof as his step-father who was battling a drug habit. During an extended stay in North America, his step-father grew ill and died suddenly. Dante returned home to care for his mother who did not handle his step-father’s death well. While cleaning out his step-father’s garage, Dante found a large envelope. Inside was letters and cards from Dante’s birth father to his mother when they were together. Curious and without Dante’s mother knowing, he started his own search for his birth father but could not find any information about him.

This year in the Spring, Dante’s mother, on her death bed, finally told him about his father and what had happened between them. Dante listened intently and made notes of what she said. He wanted to remember everything, the next night, Dante’s mother passed away quietly in her sleep. Days after her funeral, a close friend of Dante’s mother from Scotland told him to travel to Paris to look. The friend said that she had remembered a long time ago about his mother speaking of a Darcangel family in France. With that in mind, after selling the family home and placing his belongings in storage, Dante packed a bag and left to Paris.

Emilie Nicloe Bordeaux-Darcangel

Emilie is the youngest daughter of Phillipe Bordeaux. France's foremost wine making family. Her older brother, Jaques, and her sister Amelia both followed in the family tradition of working with the winery. Emilie, however is anything but into tradition. The rebellious young 22 year old has moved away from her home to Saint-Etienne to start fresh.

She never cared for the boarding schools her Father forced her into. Rules of any type make her crazy. Since her Mother's passing when she was a little girl, Emilie has never been the proper little miss her Father wished her to be. Her most notable rebellion is her butterfly tattoo on her upper left arm. If you asked her what she thought of wine she'd be brutally honest that she hates it, because in her mind her Father spent more time with the grapes than he ever had with his family.

Emilie's longing to find a new family. Somewhere she's allowed to be herself. Her true passion had always been music. She was a master on the piano, but most would never know to look at her. She longs to one day play for crowds and become famous for herself rather than her name.

She currently works as a tour guide for Saint-Etienne's Museum of Modern Art. It's not much, but it's a paying job and it allows her to look at all the beautiful art and flirt with tourists on a daily basis.

Emilie was embraced by Max Darcangel in August 2007.

Valen Ravanze-Darcangel

Born in Rome in the early months of 300 AD to the name Theodosius son of Danube a leader of men in the Roman army, like any son of a great captain he strived to live up to his name. Training his mind, body, and soul to better serve Rome and be looked at proudly by his father's eyes. In 317 AD his father was killed on the battle field before his eyes, his mind in a way shut down as he kneeled by his fathers side holding his head. He never was the same for years to come.

He forced himself hard over the next years to climb the ranks in honor of his father and soon found himself a captain of his own troops, becoming known as Theodosius the Vigorous. A loyal captain to a corrupt leader, he never questioned his orders given to him, till his orders involved the slaughter of his hometown so that this corrupt leader could gain control over all of Rome.

He questioned his orders which caused doubt to his loyalty and with one word his troops betrayed him in a field before the slaughter took place, and as he laid there watching the night's sky as he could hear off in the distance the cries broke the silence in the night. A very strong anger started to fill his heart as the screams slowly began to die out. As the stars in the sky began to fade he began to curse everything that he had held in high regards to himself, he cursed his troops, his leader, his faith for allowing this slaughter and soon his eyes closed and he took his last breath.

What happened to him after he die he could never tell you for he dose not know himself, but no sooner did his breath leave him, did his eyes open and air filled his lungs again. It was morning and the slaughter was well over, for a week at that, the town burnt to ash and all within it dead as he walked through what used to be the streets. Some how he was alive again, no wounds on his body and he felt better then he ever did before, it was truly odd but he took it as good for now his revenge will rain for the blood of his family and friends.

He hunted them down one by one taking the life of his troops then he turned to the councils and so on till he had slaughtered those that destroyed his life, soon he became known as Valen the Monstrous for his help in killing The Valen and he did not stop at them. His hatred lead him to kill many leaders and many others. He pledged Rome for years till one day an innocent got in his way and his hands became dyed in their blood, on their last breath they called him a monster.

His mind shattered the rest of the way from when he had seen his fathers death and he fled Rome high in the mountains he hide. For a hundred years he hide in them mountains and ever day he waited for when his life would finally end, but it never did. One night he was founded by a woman and was taken to a Villa by a sea shore. They cared for him and fed and clothed him, they told him they were the Ravanze, a group of immortals of many different kinds the had at one time lost their way as he did and they all keep one another safe now. They became good friends to him, but like all good things for him they were short lived as well. One night the Villa was raided and many were killed and others captured, but they helped him escape to the lose of the people within the Villa.

He started to travel the world as a lonely wanderer taking the name Valen Ravanze and in his travels he began to learn something of what he now was, he knew he was not a mortal or he would never of lived as long as he had, nor would he of survived the hundred years in the mountains. He learned that he was a Daemon, a Fallen, a soul that fell from Heavens grace and cased to walk the world in darkness and he was just fine with that. He seeked to atone for what he did in life, for all the lives he took and he has done so for thousands of years as he continued his wandering, and so his travels brings him to France to see how his life will conspire.

He now owns a building among the back streets of Paris' shopping district where he run his double life business. Angel Fall, the business for the mortals that have no ideal of the dark things in the world, mostly in use for bodyguard, fix it man, or such things as private investigator for the mortals. Exile Devil, his true line of work for all those that know of the worlds darkness, his line of work for anything one might need to hire someone for and somethings that they would "never" think of paying someone to do. While running his business he has met a few people that he will have to keep in memory, ones he would call friend, but he is sure that more may come around.

In May 2008, Valen was embraced by Tatjana Darcangel.
