[geistnet]

THE MALICE KINGS OF THE FIFTH WORLD The Malice Kings were originally Hunters of the Methuselah, handpicked by Aidan Clayce in order to assist the Voidseeker in leading the conspiracy. They were his men above anything else, ready to straighten the path towards the vision that he had for the Fifth World. As the conspiracy grew and the Wiseman’s Committee was established, the Malice Kings became Aidan’s blade, and the only group within the Methuselah whose authority was capable of vetoing the wishes of the Wisemen. As the Voidseeker withdrew from his own conspiracy in order to allow the Methuselah to run itself, the Kings truly started becoming forces of their own to contend with in the Vigil, often manipulating World of Light events and mortals mundane and supernatural to suit their agendae. Regardless of anyone’s personal sentiments of the matter, the fact remains that the Fifth World is a world that rests perpetually in the shadow of the Malice Kings. Throughout history, in order to combat the influence wielded by the Malice Kings or out of the simple desire to change the way things are, Keepers beyond the Methuselah have ended up becoming powerful enough to be considered Kings themselves. The title has grown beyond its original connotations, and is used to refer to the god figures (or up and rising god figures) in tonight’s Vigil.

AMADEUS :: Winter's Song

[geistnet]

AMADEUS Aliases: Anri Obel, Mr. Wintersong Affiliations: The Methuselah, The Brotherhood in Violence, Netsach The first Djinn to ever awaken to his nature in the Fifth World, Amadeus was taken in by the Prodigals of the Fourth World and given his name by Aidan Clayce himself. The Voidseeker took charge of raising him, and although Riley Falner and Orin showed Amadeus more affection and approval, it was Aidan's love that Amadeus constantly sought out for himself. Things came to a head after Amadeus witnessed Hikaru Shinta's treatment at the Methuselah's hands and how Aidan was complicit in it. He then left the Methuselah behind, and hid himself away for centuries to come. Father Leslie Montero - Jesuit professor turned Brotherhood in Violence operative for the Dragon - is the first in a REALLY long time to be chosen by Winter's Cross, Amadeus' personal Relic. Amadeus speaks through the priest, and has thus become one of Team Death Wish's more ornery backers. He has become increasingly vocal, so much so that it is now clear that what ultimately pushed him to reveal himself is his desire to save his "family". PLOT POINTS AS OF 29 SEPTEMBER 2016 "Anri Obel" is just the latest shadow name that Amadeus has chosen for himself. This particular persona was originally occupied with playing Good Samaritan-cum-Avenging Demon to the little folk of Europe and Russia. The Midnight Riders of that area were about as familiar with him as casual occultists might be with the urban legends of their hometowns. Amadeus ended up joining the Daywalker's "council" within Netsach, and has since retained his position on it even as the Golden Dawn itself scrambles to re-organize in the wake of the United Vigil's formation. It looks like he plans to conferring the same loyalty and respect to Netsach's new leader as he does to Riley himself.
