Bio: Jake never knew his parents. They died in a car crash when he was only a few weeks old. With no close relative alive, he was placed in foster care until they could track down any of his relatives. Just after Jake turned one years old they found a very distant relative on his mothers side. A man named Heimir Armansson. This man also happened to be a Guardian, and was the owner of Armanns Books. It was a pretty modest bookshop in London where so much knowledge had been hidden throughout the years. Why Heimir didn’t give Jake his surname he does not know. Instead he gave Jake the last name Wolfee, and of course kept Jake as the name his parents had given him.
Besides being a guardian, Heimir was a believer in the old Norse gods. Jake quickly picked it up too. He a;ways asked many questions and wanted to be told stories about the Gods. Jake learned best through home schooling. So besides being the owner of the Bookstore, Heimir was also Jake's teacher. Helping Jake learn what he needed was never a problem. Slowly as the years crept by, Heimir begun teaching Jake about the Six and the Witches. After learning that vampires where real, Jake wondered what else out of the stories was true. He dedicated much of his free time to studying mythology. Jake found it all very fascinating.
At the age of 14, Heimir showed Jake the secret underneath the Bookstore. All the collected knowledge and tales written down about the Six throughout the centuries was kept here. He also began teaching Jake how to fight with a sword and shield, just as Heimirs ancestors had done. When Jake turned 16, they began training with guns, just in case it would one day be needed. This was after all the modern age, and a sword would not always be the best weapon to use. Time kept moving and Jake grew up. He began working at the Bookstore, until the day Heimir suddenly passed away from a heart attack. Jake had turned 24 that year, and he had became the owner of the Armanns Books and a Guardian. Jake has never met one of the Six, but he is still hoping that one day he will, so keeps traditions alive and makes sure the Bookstore and it’s hidden secrets stay hidden. Safe from Witches and Vampires.
Family/Relationships: He was raised by his predecessor as an orphan, so he has no real family now that his adoptive father is dead.
Other/Extra: Jake harbors a great dislike for vampires. He knows they can be good, but for the most part he does not trust them even if they have proved to be friendly. A big hobby of his is viking sword fighting, which is something he picked up from the man that raised him. The folktales of old are something that fascinate him, and the tries to read and find as many of them as he can.

Knowing what was going to happen to him. Iason tried fighting and getting away from the witches. Though his fate came like the others. Right before he died he felt everything go cold, it went dark, he felt the most fear he would ever feel and then faded away. 10th Century BCE, Isreal - Abel Iason was born into a poor Hebrew family in Isreal. Into a married family, he was born a middle child. Three older brothers and two younger sisters. As he grew older he would get visions and memories of a past life. Iason tried ignoring these things. Though he would have night terrors and had a mental illness they haven't discovered Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Iason's family thought he was completely crazy. As around the age of 17, he and his father were working out in the field. Iason started telling his father things about his visions and memories of a past life. Iason's father asked Iason to walk with him. Which Iason did follow along, Iason's father drowned him in the ocean so, Iason could not let the demon come to the rest of the family. 8th Century BCE, Egypt - Idris Born into a high-ranking Egyptian family.

Antoni didn't just find a good business but he met this girl named Ciara Morain. She told him her memories and visions with so much fear in her heart. Though Antoni was more fearful that she was a witch. That fatal day left him so traumatized he only could remember the witch that held his head back and the witch that slit his throat. Antoni didn't know if he could trust Ciara just yet. Later on he trusted her enough and told her everything which caused some emotional reacting of 'hiding secrets' Iason knew he deserved to get yelled at by the young lady for he kept secrets from her. 1st Century BCE, Rome - Julius Iason was born into a family of war in the 1st Century of Rome. Fighting beside his father and now getting a hold onto his memories and visions. He understood he shouldn't tell people. Iason got cut off from the Roman army in a small fight as he fell into a river. Washing up on shore and waking up hours later. Iason ran into Xanthippe and a new one named Alexandros. Iason wasn't too friendly with Alexandros for awhile he always said comments under his breath or was slightly threatening to him. Could've been out of jealous? He would deny it, though. Awhile after knowing Alexandros, Iason finally lightened and warmed up to him and started being friendly. But his old actions caused these two never to have a friendship in this life. 12 Century AD, France - Gabriel He reunited with the first two (Xanthippe & Alexandros) and finally the 6 were together. Though an evil presence was among them now Jon Lytton a crazed man. Iason was furious when Jon Lytton took his friends away from him. Iason ended up having his first murder in this life. Iason at least murdered three of Jon Lytton's men before he ended up dying of old age. 14th Century, England - Alistair Smith Alistair spent all his younger age being a blacksmith with his father.

Becoming a blacksmith for the guards. Iason then was later found at the age of 36 by Jon Lytton and his crew. He tried his best to fight and struggle. Iason ended up being tortured and killed by Jon Lytton. Before Iason died he spits into Jon's face and told him to f**k off and go to hell. Iason's blood turned one of Jon's men into a 'vampire'. 1706 to 1732, Russia - Johnathan Iason grew up in a farmhouse with 15 other siblings. He and his siblings worked all day on the farm with the animals. While his mother cleaned the house and cooked. His father selling the products the farm made.

Saving the family's farm but later dying of complications with his lungs. 1798 to 1815, England - Kevin Stewart Was born the oldest out of three kids. It was winter and Iason and his younger siblings were foot skating on the icy pond in the woods. When his younger brother got stuck out on cracking ice. Iason carefully got close as he could to his sibling as he told him to walk closer. Once Iason got a hold of the younger brother. He heard the cracks get louder.

Iason lives on the beach in the beautiful clear waters. His hobbies include Surfing, reading, sleeping in a hammock all day, exercising or enjoying himself. He has lived too many lives to be so not heartless. Iason is heartless and his eyes emotionless. Though he can crack some jokes if no one else is. His eyes stare right through people. Which causes him not to have many friends. Slightly anti-social and very untrusting. Iason will only show true emotion to Xanthippe since he has known her longest.
Other/Extra: In every single life after his first one. Iason has had PTSD(Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) which causes him to have panic attacks seldom - regularly when he's having night terrors and springs up in bed waking up from his dream. He's to brutally honest for people which cause him to like being by himself. Iason is a bit of a disturbing nature oftentimes. He gets into depth with talking and every action he does. Which can come off as a psychopath(Or somebody that is out of their mind) does? Interesting fact. He refers to all the guardians except Xanthippe & Alexandros as brother and sister. Nicknames For Xanthippe: - Miss.Guardian - Hippe - X Nicknames for Alexandros: - Friend - Alex - Kama moja (Meaning As one. He's saying Alexandro's is like his blood[family, etc) Qoutes

Bio: Beau was born into a family of guardians. He learned about them, where the meeting points were, how to fight witches and vampires. Basic things. He would often visit some of the meeting point to make sure he knew where they were and to make sure no witches figured them out. He was also often seen training himself in various ways of fighting knowing that he had to protect himself and possibly one or more of the 6. Even with this lifestyle he still found he had a knack for photography. He took classes (all the ones he could with his age restrictions) and his parents even bought him a camera. He found a love for black and white photography and started anonymously submitting photos to different companies.
However, beau was not meant for happiness, tragedy struck when he was 15. His parents were killed by a witch. He did not know who...or even how it happened, but he mourned and took it upon himself to try to find the witch responsible. While he did manage to finally find a witch at age 16. He tried to kill them but found himself beaten. Instead of killing him the witch decided to curse him. At age 16 he became a dog. Finding himself in a completely different form and frankly, completely unprepared he fled. He searched out the other guardians and found that he was able to speak. He told them what happened and swore to continue his duties as a guardian. He still goes to the meeting points and will often pair himself with another guardian. If by himself he leads which ever of the six to the guardians. Finding that while the form has several cons being a dog is actually helpful for keeping them safe. While not really able to see color he can hear and smell better...along with having more discretion in this shape and a rather powerful bite.
Other/Extra: Fears: He fears that he may never break the curse and be stuck a dog for the rest of his life Failing. He fears that he will mess up and become even more of a disappointment
Loves: Being a dog for so long has brought around a love for being scratched behind the ears....though if he isn't very familiar with you he will bite Turkey.
Hobbies: He takes it upon himself to check on each meeting point.
She was the 4th sacrifice. She was only 17 then and had a weak heart. Seeing Alexandros and Korinna killed made her sick and scared of what will eventually happen to her. Seeing Magissa bring the knife close to Ianos' throat robbed her of her consciousness. But she felt the pain when the knife cut her throat open. As the last drop of her blood drained away and she took her last breath, she opened her eyes and the last thing she saw was Nikomedes angrily thrashing against his restraints.
A commoner in Goryeo. At the age of 10, she began having flashes of memories about her past life. Her parents forbid her to speak of her strange memories and she eventually learned to keep it to herself. At the age of 18, she was taken into the palace as a court lady. There, she befriended another court lady who she confided to about her memories. A palace official overheard Ji-Eun's stories and saw it as an omen and the reason why the king was always ill. She was arrested and later put to death.
She was a hunter's daughter and saw her memories as a curse. She fervently hope that this lifetime would be her last. She didn't want to live another life with memories of her past haunting her. But soon she met Iason and she found a kindred soul in him, someone who has the same strange memories of their past lives as she did. For the first time, she no longer felt alone. She promised to find him in each lifetime.
She was a servant to the Sampsiceramus I, the Priest-King of the Emesani dynasty. She remembers her previous life and spoke to none about it. Gaining the favor of the Queen, she was granted her freedom from servitude. She immediately began her travels and eventually found Iason and Alexandros. She immediately recognized Iason but was a little wary of Alexandros. But as soon as Alexandros opened up to her, she didn't find it difficult to trust in him. She would have wanted to live a longer life with both men she considered her family but fate had other plans for her. She eventually died of the white plague at the young age of 28.
A duchess meant to marry into the royal family. With her resources, she was easily able to reunite with the five others. In this lifetime, she began to look at Iason in a different way. But she knew that he only saw her as a sister and so she chose not to reveal her true feelings for him. On the day she made up her mind to tell him, she was kidnapped by Jon Lytton. He used her blood and his alchemy skills to gain immortality. And then he ate her still beating heart, allowing him to create creatures that will later be known as vampires.
Bastard child of Senakhtenre Ahmose and half sister to Queen Ahhotep. She had a very close relationship with the queen and had confided to her about the memories she has of her past lives. She thinks herself responsible for bringing vampires and had requested the Queen to put her to death in fear that she might bring misfortune and death to the kingdom. But the Queen refused out of love for her and insisted on keeping her safe in the palace. She lived the longest in this lifetime, never stepping foot out of the castle but always wondering where Iason was. She was able to live to an old age but she never married nor had any children. Rumor has it that the Queen herself and some of her children were Guardians.
She was an art teacher and a librarian. She constantly wondered where Iason was and often browsed through history books to try and find him. She read about world war 2 and all the men and women that lost their lives in the conflict. She came across an old photograph and somehow recognized Iason's faded image. Clayton Johnson. She looked up his name and wept when she read about how he lost his life from an infected gun shot wound. She tried looking for him in this lifetime but never found him.
A medical student that was born in Greece but currently living in the United States. While she aspires to become a good doctor one day, she fears that her past will eventually catch up to her. She often wonders about the vampire, the witches, and the other five. Because of this, she had been jokingly labeled a daydreamer in the university where she studies. If not 'daydreaming' and not studying, she spends most of her free time trying to find everyone, exerting extra effort with finding Iason and Alexandros since she has been with both the longest.
Despite the horrors and tragedies of her past and the fears for her future, she struggles to live a normal life and strives to keep herself happy and content. She fears that she will not be able to find the others in this lifetime and dreads the idea of facing her adversaries from the past.
Other/Extra:
Fond of shortening Iason's name to Ias or Son.
Allows Iason to give her whatever nickname he wants.
Calls Alexandros Xand, amused that it sounds like her nickname Xanthe.
Gets along with everyone.
Worries that she would live a short life and have no time to do what she wants to do.
Still hopes that she will no longer remember her past lives and have several times considered having herself hypnotized to rid herself of the memories.
Never went through the hypnotism in the fear of not remembering everyone anymore, particularly Iason.
Original 1117-1100 BCE Greece - Before the sacrifice, she was a gentle and loving girl. Perhaps a little spoiled, but this was arguably the kindest version of her, and probably the most naive. She was a simple girl, albeit a sheltered one. When she was kidnapped and chosen as one of the sacrifice, she was just frozen in fear and couldn't do anything to get away. The moment it sinks in that she was going to die, all she could do was cry in panic and fear before she was calmed down. Permanently. - Korinna
17 BC Korea - She was a kisaeng, a female entertainer and courtesan in Goryeo Period. She has entertained nobles and kings in her time, and also has done some sexual favors. She bottled all the memories to herself in this time period, believing that if she ignores them, then she can convince herself that she's not crazy, but has often used her past life to tell a story to entertain her customers. She lived a good life and died of old age, but never married and died alone. - Seo Jin
8th Century Norway - It was merely by chance that she managed to reunite with the Six in this particular time, and by extension, be introduced to the Guardians. She was a part of a group of traders from Scandinavia and was merely at the right place and the right time, but by this time, she has at least accepted that she's not crazy, and finally meeting people like her had helped her relieve the rest of her doubts. She died en route to her home in a shipwreck caused by a storm. - Adelaida Christendottir
12th Century England - She was a distant cousin and lady-in-waiting for a noble lady whom she has a good relationship with. She later finds the rest of the Six once again in England, but the presence of Jon Lytton made her time in this reincarnation the one she wants to forget. Tired of being the victim, Korinna attempted to make it vey difficult for her to be captured, and almost succeeded, however, the only thing she got was being permanently blinded. She still tried to warn the others, and tried to be strong despite being blinded, but she was a victim once again. She tried not to show it, but a bubble of anger and hatred grew inside her. She died when in the midst of depression and a breakdown, she locked herself in a room and starved herself. - Kiera Massel
13th Century Mesoamerica - She was an Aztec slave in this reincarnation, but despite that she never hated most of this life. Her master treated her well enough, and they managed to form a bond, in which they came to be close enough that she was comfortable to reveal her memories of her past lives. She thought she could emotionally heal in this place. Other than that, the only thing she hated in this past life was the fact that she died young because she was given the honor to be the human sacrifice for the Aztec gods. After these experiences, something in Korinna snapped, and her following reincarnations are proof of that. - Itzel
15th to 16th Century Italy - This reincarnation of hers proved to be the turning point in which she can apparently go to very...extreme measures. She was hardened to cold stone the way she never was before despite her many past lives, and the results were not very pretty. Before she can even realized it, she was a tyrant, and her name would be forever in the history books. She died of pneumonia. - Caterina Sforza
1908-1989 America - Before the start of the 20th century, she ha already somwhat cooled down on her mental breakdown and vindictive rampage, and has grown to be ashamed of it and tries to bury it. So far the simplest of her reincarnations, and described this life as something that went on like a blur. She was the only daughter of an old-money family, and grew up lavishly. She had a quiet but luxurious life, but despite knowing that she lived a good life here, she still felt alone, having never disclosed her memories to the people she feels should know. She died from tuberculosis, but she was already old even by then. - Leigh Anne Sinclair

Bio: In this reincarnation as of the present, Korinna isn't doing too well at the moment. She did have at least had a healthy childhood. She was born in a Japanese family living in New York as an only child, and she was able to pull through and finish her studies.
Currently, she works as the resident manager in the university and seemed to have been contented with her job. She was in a happy albeit emotionally co-dependent relationship with a frequent visitor and best friend of some of the residents there, a photographer with the same name she had in one of her past lives: Seo Jin. He wasn't the first person she loved, but he was the first man she loved and trusted deeply that she revealed her secret to him. He was shocked and in disbelief at first, but later kept an open mind and resolved that it doesn't really bother him, as long as it doesn't bother her. They were already arranged and ready to get hitched, until the unfortunate accident happened and Seo Jin died in a car crash. Kaname, unable to deal with it, focused her way of coping with the grief by instead acting as the steady rock to those who mourn for her fiancee, and hasn't given herself a moment to feel the pain and mourn. She refuses to.
She's focusing on the mourning best friends of Seo Jin under her care, and seems to be looking after them to an extent that's more like an actual guardian than a dorm mother.
After some incidents that have happened that involved her being blinded by Jon Lytton in her past lives and resulting a rather vicious although brief phase during her following reincarnations, Korinna wants to hide her secret as much as possible and even outright deny it, although she often ends up not doing the latter.
She's a nurturing and motherly person, sometimes overbearing and definitely talks too much, and always attempts to be the reliable one in a situation to an unhealthy degree. Living so many lives and suffering through some of them changed her in so many ways, for better or for worse. Despite trying to be the kindest person she can be, she's prone to go for extreme and shady measures that she appears to be, and can muster up a level of detachment that could only be gotten from being desentisized to the horrors of time she has experienced. However, although aware of how much a bitch fate can be, she tries to have a more positive outlook in life.
Other/Extra: ¤ She holds some resentment on few of her past lives. She doesn't want to remember any of her past lives from the 14th to 19th century, which were times wherein she kind of snapped and stopped caring, just being very angry and vindictive, although she has somehow cooled down before the start of the 20th century and somewhat came back to herself.
¤ She keeps a stack of journals on her office, which details the life of her past reincarnations.
¤ She's mostly almost a parental figure to most of the university residents, and is even quite close friends with some of them. After the death of her fiancee, her attachment to them grows.
¤ She wants to distance herself from the whole Guardians and vampires and witches business, but knows that it's easier said than done. Doesn't stop her from trying though.
¤ Despite wanting an out and just live her lives, Korinna still attempts to look out for the other five and tries to be at least in amicable terms with them.
In 1115, Peter Abelard "the keenest thinker and boldest theologian of the 12th Century" a medieval French scholasticphilosopher, theologian and preeminent logician. Son of knight Berengar, moved in with a canon in Paris named Fulbert and his ward and niece young Héloïse d'Argenteuil who he tutored in exchange for the accommodation. Like Fulbert he himself became a canon. Despite all this an affair took place behind Fulberts back and beneath his roof, the results of the illicit affair was baby Petrus Astralabius, who would later be known as Jon Lytton.
Abelard had to move Héloïse away from Fulbert and sent her to his own sister in Brittany when she showed signs of pregnancy. Ongoing situations eventually caused Abélard to place Héloïse for her own safety in the convent of Argenteuil where she became prioress. After some grisly affairs Abélard himself eventually became a monk in the Abbey of St Denis in Paris. Neither parent around to raise their young son.
It wouldn't be until his later teens that Jon would formally meet his parents and continue to on occasions for moral guidance. In the meantime and to their death, letters under secret aliases kept them connected.
Early years:
Jon Astrolabe Lytton was raised by the Guardians in which his family had close ties. He trained with his grandfather and travelled with his aunt. Growing up with the descendants they became his extended family, but they were something more. Crown Jewels of humanity carrying the greatest gift of God. Deserving of protection and preservation they were the ones with the ability to lead humanity to a new golden age. He was a good kid who studied and trained hard, always being at the ready to help the guardians change the world for the better. This was his purpose, this was his call.
From teen to war
At the age of 18 Jon became caught up in England's civil war later known as The Anarchy It was a messy lawless time. Jon did things and witnessed events that at the time he would rather forget. But now such petty things no longer weighed on his soul. He never saw the war to the very end. He fought heart and soul with his life to support whatever cause the guardians saw fit to give him. Believing in the wisdom of the descendants reincarnation.
After King Henries passing The guardians supported the deceased's nephew Stephen of Blois, for political reasons and their ties to Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester. Meanwhile the king's daughter Empress Matilda had ties to the covern and had her own interests in immortality. While history claims it a war of succession it was much more than that. A personal vendetta between two ancient organisations. Both side petitioned for the innocent to rally behind their false fronts, recruiting others to their will through means of coin or intimidation if required. It was a bloody and horrible time, the weak and poor the first to suffer the travesties of war as both sides tried to limit the supplies of the other. Chroniclers described the period as one in which "Christ and his saints were asleep"
Love, death, betrayal and order.
1141 Jon first met Matilda as she was on the verge of being crowned queen, where he and the order forced her to retreat from London as a hostile crowd. It was the following year 1142, Jon now 27 and a fierce grown man, did he start to question everything. He had read all the books of his father, specially those of morals and logic. He had been at war for 9 years and the chaos consumed his heart, worst of all, in Matilda's brief presence her words had poisoned his ear.
Jon was a romantic deep at heart just like his father but his continual rebuffed affection towards Swanhild de Deoraby drove him to a moment of madness. One war torn day, with blood already on his hands, he killed her. That singular action altering his fate immensely as it expunged him from the guardians and made him an enemy of his former family. The same year the war almost ended during the siege of Oxford, but just as the Empress was almost captured Jon aided her to escape from Oxford Castle across the frozen River Thames to safety.
Jon believed all this drama and trouble was the results of the descendants immortality. The witches pursuit would never end and innocents would continue to die. It was then he decided they had to die. Secretly aligned with Empress Matilda (closer than he should be with a married woman) he used his connections with the churches and the rebel Barron's he had mustered and sought out a new faction to bring order amongst the chaos. Simply known as the 'Order'.
For the next few years the order secretly grew and integrated itself more strongly into the church. The six were hunted as demons. Innocent people were burned as witches and chaos was the result, but the order had its mission. The battle for England no longer their concern they focused their attacks towards the guardians where ever they could. With Jon's knowledge of their workings he weakened and exploited their shortcomings.
By early 1147 the order had gained enough influence to lead a holy crusade against the guardians. During it Jon and his order sidetracked for their own personal agenda. Jon lured out his old friend Alexandros into a trap and murdered him. Soon after he led skirmishes that killed many guardians. With the full support of the church and the holy roman empress Matilda behind him. Jon took his forces and broke into a guardian hideout where he was able to kidnap Xanthippe. He also almost had Korinna too but she was defiant and almost caused him to be apprehended, instead he assaulted her with an alchemical concoction, permanently blinding her, and escaped just as guardian reinforcements arrived.
On his own with a trusted few Xanthippe was the subject of much experimentation, bordering torture. Jon acted independently to his benefactors, keeping the results and experiments to himself. There his greed broke him, he was occasionally torn in his ways of treating her. Sometime being nurturing and apologetic as he tried to rationalise his actions, other times he was empty and hateful, committing himself to the path he had chosen and deliberately pushing himself beyond necessity to be cold and empty as he shrugged of compassion and empathy. Regardless of his mood, this was still his sister. There was no turning back. At times he hoped to find an easy answer to immortality and be free and able to let her on her way. But as days turned into weeks and those weeks into months, he knew he would never be the same again. In the end, enraged and spiteful, he delicately opened her chest and ate her still beating heart...
Born again he was now something more. Eager to share and test his findings they captured Korinna a few months later and she underwent a similar yet shorter ordeal to Xanthippe, this time his loyal follower Agnes bearing the gift of the supposedly stolen immortality.
Now they were some of the very abominations to god that the order swore to rid. So they left and travelled to Ireland.
After death - grudges

The long chase
For the next 5 centuries the vampires play a giant game of cat and mouse all over the globe with all of the different factions, the order, the church, the guardians, the witches, whilst simultaneously hunting down the reincarnated descendants and growing their small circle death by death.
Separation
The originals had since learnt how to make their own vampires and eventually split into 3 groups and spread throughout different parts of the world. Jon had taught them discretion and how to influence the world from the shadows. How to pass on their gift and to worry of the strength of united enemies.
Jon and Agnes were in France where they had become a bit careless and indulgent. Not living to his own lessons. Eventually the French Revolution drove them from their large extravagant lifestyles of France, and they slipped into Britain where he capitalised on the early industrial revolution.
After that
After that the world quickly grew smaller. Borders became harder to cross, proof of identity a constant requirement, the 'order' through means of the church took a powerful role in the influence of future things and it made the world a very difficult place for immortals.
The originals eventually further split and lived through their puppets. Each stealing as much influence as they could, building networks and infiltrating society through lawyers, politicians, businessmen, thugs & mobsters. Anything they could get their hands on. As for Jon, he disappeared completely, while the other covern were attacked, moved and rebuilt, nothing was ever heard of Jon. Until now.
Original 1121-1100 BCE Greece - Before the ritual, Nikomedes was something of a thinker. He studied why people lived. How things worked. He spent quite a bit of time just tinkering with his ideas when he should have been working at his father's shop. When he was kidnapped, Nikomedes could only feel rage. He was furious that people would go so far for such a selfish desire, and even more so that there was nothing he could do. His last thoughts were sadness that he couldn't help any of the others. - Nikomedes
1099-1043 Ancient China - He was born into a wealthy family in the at the end of the Shang dynasty.

After distinguishing himself through a well thought plan against the Shang, he befriended King Wen of the Zhou dynasty, and his son Wu. From then on, he served as an advisor of the new Zhou dynasty, and kept his memories to himself. - Yip Guiren
7th Century England - This time, he was born into the kingdom of Kent. Distinguishing himself on the battlefield to King Eadbald of Kent, he became a knight of the court. At this point, he had a feeling that something was off, but kept his strange memories to himself. While he found the concept terrifying, he could never deny they sometimes proved useful. He served at his king's pleasure for quite some time, until he encountered the others and the guardians by chance as he passed through a village. Relieved that he wasn't crazy or possessed, he accompanied them for a short while before dying on the road as he returned home. - Axton of Kent
12 Century Holy Roman Empire - Knowing the truth about who he was, and this time born closer to where he was when he last met him, he sought out the Guardians intentionally, and the 6 were finally reunited.

Late 15th Century Venice - This time, he had the ironic fortune of being born into the Guardians. The truth explained to him early this lifetime, he worked to turn his knowledge of the past 2000 years to his advantage. Keeping his true identity hidden from all but the closest to him for fear of more treachery, he forged 11 silver daggers designed to slay Lytton and his followers. 10 of them he gave to the Guardians to defend themselves with. The last, he placed in a lockbox with some of his notes on the condition of the 6; a time capsule for each reincarnation to continue this one's work. Entrusting it to the few friends who knew the truth, he went back into hiding on his own. - Domenico Petracca
1928-1989 Poland, later Isreal - His previous incarnation, he found himself born into one of the most dangerous times yet; Nazi controlled Poland. When his memories resurfaced around the age of 10, he didn't question it this time. Mostly because so much of them were about hiding from people. Relying on old experiences, he got himself smuggled into America, and waited out World War II. When Isreal was founded, he figured that he could lose the trail of everyone looking for him in the new administration, and buried his trail their.

Bio: It was a cheerfull day, the day of Shadi's birth. Her parents and especialy her mother had been looking forwards to recieving a child. Her mother was a well respected witch in a coven that one could see as a branch from the witches from Melos. Within the coven five witches would hold power, they were called the five points of Venus. As the daughter of a point of Venus it was expected of Shadi to be born with powers unimaginable. Unforntunatly once she was born, none of the witches present could sense any magic within her. Dissapointed in her newly born daughter, her mother left her within the hospital bed, while a infant Shadi cried.
Her father decided that even though the love of his life had abondoned their daughter, he would care for her. He raised her until at the age of 5 weird things started to happen in the house. Cups would move and fall of the table while no one was around. Sometimes the clocks would spin out of control and the woodnin the fireplace would spontaneous burst out into flames. Not knowing what to do he contacted the coven of his ex-lover and told her about the situation. Overjoyed to hear the news of her daughters power, she rushed to their house and took Shadi with her to the coven, sepperating her from her father.
From that moment on Shadi was trained day and night within the art of witchcraft. Shadi found out that she had a high affinition with animals, and especialy birds. She could use them from casting curses to offence and defence magic.
Though Shadi was surrounded by witches who served her and pretended to be her friends, she felt alone. Most of them feared her mother and later on as she grew powerfull they started to fear her as well. Fake smiles surrounded her, thus resulting Shadi's habbit of spending whole days in the library. It was there that she found out about the sacrifice of six long ago. There were also records of the six sacrifices returning within the flow of history and dissapearing again. Only to resuface later on again. This sparked her intrest and currently Shadi is searching for the six to see what happens if you bring them back together.
