Arthur Albegny

Septemi elder vampire and Gwendydde’s mentor. Currently masquerading as Gwendydde's human "bloodbag", or mobile food unit.

Arthur has a wry sense of humor, and a "well, we'll deal with it" approach to life. He's fairly well-respected within the Septemi as a thoughtful, far-thinking strategist. He chose Gwendydde as a mentee because he believes in fostering new thought, and he respects her a lot.

Arthur doesn't completely believe in the Septemi's goals, but he's willing to work for them b/c he thinks they'll be better than the Vanostra. However, Arthur always has an exit, even from within the team he helped build. If plans with the Septemi fall through, Arthur and Gwendydde will have new identities and new lives within the hour.

Gwendydde and Arthur are secret Septemi agents - they intercepted the real lawyer from the Vanostra, killed him, and took his place. Having heard that the Vanostra put a hit on Thorn, they realized she could be useful to the Septemi - she knows how the Vanostra work, she has contacts in the house, and she’s a heavy hitter.
