One of the finest blades in Anino’s recent history, as their original members were mentored by Aidan Clayce himself. The Voidseeker tried his best to shelter them from his true work, but his charges proved to be too damned stubborn for him. Many of the Rockin' Rollas have left the Methuselah, some by choice and some as a matter of security. Not a single one of them, however, plans on abandoning the Vigil completely. Not when there's so much at stake.
The truth of the matter is, the Rockin' Rollas did not come together because of Aidan, but because of their former blade leader Gwen. She was their common ground upon which they built everything else, and the glue that kept them from breaking apart. Her influence has been felt well into the afterlife, as her death on the battlefield brought her boyfriend Drake to her comrades, and - by extension - the Methuselah.
LIANA PANILIO Alias: The Scatterblade of Zangyaku
Affiliations: The Methuselah, The Maharlika, Zangyaku BLADIAN OF THE BLOODY ROAD [BLOODSINGER: SANTINO]; WHISPERER [ONI-TSUKAI/NAMI: SHADOW OF HEAVEN] / THE LADY OF THE NIGHT IN THE PHILIPPINES & TEMPORARY MAGISTRATE OF KIBO (PHILIPPINES). PRIMARY COMPACT/CONSPIRACY: ZANGYAKU.
An exemplary Bladian at 24 and it isn’t just because she formed a pact with a Bloodsinger at a tender age. Santino approached her as she lay dying the wreckage of her parent’s car, all of eight years old, cradled by her dead mother. Liana has led a very interesting life, having started as an oni-tsukai of Zangyaku (working undercover within the Methuselah), and subsequently left that conspiracy lending the Maharlika and the Supernatural Accords her strength. She then “retired” after a brief period on the premise of training the next generation of Hunters at Brent International School. Recent events, however, have convinced her that it is time to return to her roots. Timely, given what went down on the Ides of March.
If Celeste was trained by Aidan because he was familiar with vampires, Liana's training was supervised by him because he knows Bladians like the back of his hand. Until recently, Liana was always bothered by the fact that Aidan knew who she really was and where she had come from, yet the Voidseeker never acted on it until the night of Karlo Zobel de Ayala's murder. She still harbors rather ambivalent feelings on the matter.
PLOT NOTES AS OF 29 SEPTEMBER 2016
It might be hard to believe given the political atmosphere of the Vigil, but Liana's parents - full-fledged oni-tsukai - really DID die in an accident. It was not an assassination. She's checked, and the Rockin' Rollas helped her make doubly sure of it.
Liana was one of the first Bladians whom Kaye ever met. She was the girl's mentor until Yulia took over - although it might be more accurate to say that they'll be sharing her from hereon.
Liana has recently been placed in charge of Kibo, Zangyaku's power base in Antipolo until Sister Fox can find someone more suitable. This means that she's one of the conspiracy's last lines of defense against all of their adversaries at present.
