That the majority of the Keepers of the Vigil do not actually respect the Accords and continue to view all supernatural creatures as monsters is a cold, hard fact. Even a country as permissible as the Philippines has its human supremacists, people who have had their close encounters with the Dark and emerged with a special sort of hatred for that which they do not understand. Some of these Hunters band together in groups, forming the Veil's very own Ku Klux Clans and ISIS organizations. There are, as well, those compacts and conspiracies from beyond Philippine shores who have made their way down here with the express intent of killing every last howling son of a bitch "from hell", even if it's the last thing they do.
The breaking of the Veil has brought many of the Fifth World's "true" Hunters crawling out of the woodwork, and many more common citizens are taking up arms for themselves due to sheer paranoia. It looks like the United Vigil has got its work cut out for them.
Ibn Al'Hariq has since seen the madness of his conspiracy's ways in light of the mass awakenings in the Fifth World, and has turned his back on the Ascending Ones. He'll have an entry in another section soon.
MARCEL LE XU’FFASCH Alias: None
HONORABLE BARRISTER OF THE ABBEY, PHILIPPINE CHAPTER This forty-something hotshot French-Filipino lawyer is unabashedly, unapologetically obsessed with Nerissa Wardenclyffe and has made it very clear that he’ll do anything for her. While Marcel has proven himself to be a capable fighter (and an Unmarked one at that) and someone who excels in cleaning up the mess that’s often left behind in an Abbey Hunter’s wake, his true talents lie in his status as the Abbey’s legal retainer. He represents the compact’s interests in the Philippines, and it’s probably the main reason why other groups like the Maharlika haven’t quite been able to get rid of them yet.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 01 OCTOBER 2016
Marcel was called down from France in order to represent the Abbey in their new host of complaints against the Methuselah and other conspiracies. Suffice to say, he may not be prepared to face the infamous Friedrich Weiss in the court of the Accords...
...And the trial was still ongoing when everything went to shit. Marcel has since disappeared, and is still at large.
NERISSA WARDENCLYFFE Alias: None
HONORABLE GOVERNESS OF THE ABBEY, PHILIPPINE CHAPTER People who manage to meet Miss Wardenclyffe herself may be surprised at how young she is. The heiress to a wild fortune made on manufacturing steel and construction materials, this sixteen-year-old briefly made the papers when a horrendous accident took the lives of both of her parents, thus leaving many wondering which of her many aunts and uncles would take charge of her personal welfare. Suffice to say, the aforementioned aunts and uncles met their ends one by one in the years to come. She’s also connected to a mysterious death that occurred on Brent International School’s campus while she was studying there, although the official reason why she was expelled was due to her propensity to cut class.
Nerissa appears to fancy herself as a modern Elizabeth Bathory. She orders the Hunters under her command to bring back their charges alive as much as they can, for the express purpose of draining them dry for her ritual blood baths.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 01 OCTOBER 2016
The last report that the Maharlika received about Nerissa was that she may have been spotted fleeing the country after Sydney went down. The United Vigil has not had the time or resources to look for her.
