Many within the World of Light of Waking the Dead wonder why Brent International School seems so insular. Its students are an interesting lot that truly keeps to themselves; its alumni rarely ever stay on Philippine soil, and most seem to disappear from the general public barely 2-3 years after graduating. Now, following the breaking of the Veil, people know the answer.
Brent International School is one of the Fifth World’s few “Hunter Academies” – that is, a school dedicated to raising and training Keepers of the Vigil, and facilitating the ease of transition into an awareness of the World of Darkness for their loved ones. On an interesting note, the concept of Hunter Academies was something that Riley Falner – the Daywalker – came up with. Brent is one of the few who has followed his specifications as strictly as they could.
MERCEDES CIELA Alias: Lady Ciela
???; Headmistress of Brent International School No one is quite sure who or what Mercedes is. This appears to be a mystery even for the strongest and oldest functional immortals of tonight’s Vigil and within the world beyond the Veil - and those who claim to know are either not telling, or foolish enough to brag about information that they couldn't possibly be privy to. People remember her from several historical events back, with the oldest recorded sighting dated during the Spanish regime. It doesn’t help, of course, that the Headmistress doesn’t seem to ever leave Brent, and also doesn’t look like she has aged at all. A few have pointed out that she bears a striking resemblance to the Guardian Spirit of the University de Santo Tomas. Records state that the entity was snuffed out during World War II.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 03 OCTOBER 2016
Through the efforts of the United Vigil and the swift response of Brent's own faculty and students, the school was able to survive the first real siege attempt that was made against it. Lady Ciela has been spotted with increasing frequency around campus while she and the rest of the administration focus their efforts on repairing the school.
