War had always been apart of the world since the dawn of mankind, there was always someone or something looking to control the world or parts of it. This never changed even with the passage of time war would always be around. Mankind has always lead the way in creating brutal ways of killing each other and those around them. Even now as Mathew Price does his best to work on the books of the family's businesses, he can't help but think back to days gone by. He remembered the time when everyone thought that he was human. Back in the days when he stalked the night as a hunter of creatures who feed upon innocent humans. Mathew had been at one time a Priest, but not for just any Priest. He was a member of a special order called The Angels of Death. The members of this order protected mankind from vampires and lycans. It would take years for Mathew to find out that he was in fact killing his own kind. While it was true that Mathew killed human, those humans were serving either the vampires or the lycans.
Mathew learned the truth of his past from Elena. She was a vampire sworn to sever Andros. Knowing that the greatest vampire hunter was on her master's trail. Elena did what she needed to do to save him. She spoke with the Lady Adonis at Brimstone Manor. Her name was Victoria Adonis. She was the second woman to hold the title of "Lady Adonis". The first was a Greek woman who had turned Andros and made him into a great vampire lord. The first Lady Adonis was long dead, replaced by Victoria. But no one knew where Victoria came from or who she really was. Elena wasn't sure if Victoria could help, but it was worth a chance. In those days. The coven of followers were kept away from Brimstone Manor. Andros' seat of power had been in an old castle outside of London. Victoria stayed in France, well away from trouble and enemies. Elena was one of the few who knew how to find Brimstone Manor. So she went to speak with Victoria. Breaking a rule Andros had set down. It was Elena who first brought Victoria a picture of Mathew Price. The killer priest, the boogeyman vampires & lycans learned to fear. As it turned out. Elena had fallen in love with Mathew. He saved her life from members of her own coven who wanted her dead. They conspired with lycans to kill Andros and take over the House of Adonis. They failed, now Elena needed to save Andros and find out why a human like Mathew was so powerful. Victoria looked at the picture Elena brought and recognized her son Mathew. He hadn't died as she thought. He was alive and needed to know the truth about his father. It was Elena who brought Victoria to England, so the truth could finally be known. Mathew was a Dhampir. Born from human mother and vampire father. This was before Victoria was turned by Andros.
Many years had passed since those days. Mathew now ran Brimstone winery & distillery for his family. He & Elena had two beautiful children. Andrew was their 20 year old son and Lilly who was 19. Both older then how they looked. Andrew was born in 1894 and his sister was born in 1895. Because they were dhampirs like their father. Their aging stopped after taking in their first drink of vampire blood. As long as they continued to drink blood. The brother & sister would never grow old. Being dhampirs, meant they had all the powers of vampires without the weaknesses vampires had. Dhampirs were the 'daywalkers" and true guardians when vampires slept. Mathew paid little attention to what he called human affairs once he found out the truth of his past. As the years passed. Mathew grew colder to most humans. Only those who served the House of Adonis were treated with any kind of real respect from Mathew. During World War I. Both Andros & Mathew refused to get involved with that human issue. It wasn't their fight. However, Elena did gave aid and comfort to allied soldiers by opening a tavern/brothel just a few miles form the manor. She was allowed to do this because Victoria sided with her. After the war ended, Elena kept her place open. Serving most locals from the area, and a few travelers. As the years passed by. Elena and her family fought off many foes. Old enemies like Bloody Mary, who was one of those to try and kill Andros years ago. She was a former member of their coven, she now was part of the coven led by Count Caleb Kroft. Another old enemy was the black witch known as Cassandra Cane. Cassandra had tried to steal Mathew away from Elena. She wanted him for her own, but Elena freed Mathew and she thought Cassandra was died.
War returned to the world in 1939, when German forces invaded Poland. Both Britain & France declared war, though war was still a year from breaking out. Elena was the first to hear stories of what the Nazis were doing with Jewish, Gypsies, and anyone else the Nazis thought were un-pure races. She heard the stories from travelers stopping at her tavern/brothel. Many were making their way to America and passing through. Escaping what they believed would become a larger war. And these lucky few were right. Germany soon turned it's attention westwards, towards France. The Battle of France started and ended within a week's time. British forces were forced to retreat from French soil, and French forces were smashed and surrendered. It had been a dark and overcast day when the German troops were first spotted passing near Brimstone Manor. Thousands of men, trucks and tanks heading for the coast. They were still passing by when Elena woke from her slumber when night fell. You could hear the rumble made by the tanks as the drove by.
