This trust has allowed the family to hold and pass on forbidden knowledge and spells throughout the ages. Before the war Derrick raised and expected to take the council seat from his father. As such he was entered into an arranged marriage with another lesser known magical family and produced an heir to the Avalon line. However during the war his wife divorced him, finding true love with another man. This was understandable to the young mage who really wanted someone to be there for his son Jason when he could not be. During the war against the cultists Derrick joined forces with his fellow mages to beat back the cultists. He was a formidable and intimidating opponent on and off the battlefield who knew no mercy. However during the war he met another mage who changed his battle hardened views. It was with her that he fell in love with, entering into a childless but peaceful marriage.

Derrick's father decided his son had seen and dealt with enough in the war and deserved a peaceful life. However it is rumored that their were other reasons the elder Avalon decided to keep his seat. During his second marriage Derrick took time with Jason, making sure to spend 6 months out of the year with him and train while readying him to take over the council seat when the time came. When Marchand was being built Derrick received an offer to share his knowledge of magical bloodlines and infusements to the next generation.
