Orion Petrescu

Orion Petrescu is a vampire and a major recurring character in The Hathaway Chronicles. He was later revealed to be one of the major antagonists, since he was instrumental in causing many tragedies his family faced. He sired Francis Hathaway, along with Adelaide and Claire. He also later married Claire. He later, with Francis, became a teacher to look after the reincarnations of Adelaide and Claire. He is known as one of the oldest living vampires, and was one of the very first sired by the progenitor, Diane La Lune. He is the is the distant uncle of Seana Kane, to whom everyone thought was his last relative. At the end of Darkness Descending however, Seana uncovers that he was once a werewolf, a half-blood that sired the Mirren Clan who he swore as his worst enemies, since he was turned unwillingly. With his secrets revealed, Orion will not stop until he gets what he wants back, his wife. He later disappeared for a long period of time but returned at the end of Silently Falling. 
== Early History ==
Very little is known about the origins of Orion, only that he was born in Romania and had at least one brother. They were from a noble family, so he carried the title of a Lord. However, at some point he came into contact with the Mirren werewolf pack somewhere in Scotland, as he was traveling throughout the region. During a skirmish, one of the Mirren wolves but him, turning him into a half-blood werewolf with little control. He told his niece that he was forced into the pack. Sometime during his time with them, he had a son with one of the alpha's daughters, the only one that survived into adulthood. Seana mentioned a Petrescu being an ancestor to the current Mirren line, but they were all killed leaving Zachary Pierce as the last of the Mirren line. When Orion met Diane La Lune, the first immortal ever created, he wished to get rid of his curse and asked to be created as tales of her were known throughout the ages. Though not known exactly how or when he was turned, he became one of the first vampires, which nullified his werewolf side. From them on, Orion has been known to wanting to kill the family line he sired long ago, as he saw it as shame and something he was forced into. During thr 1500's, he met Francis Hathaway during a night Orion was being hunted by a mob. He saved him and Francis later made him a daylight ring. Orion offered to turn Francis into a vampire,

In the chapter Before I Go, ....
In the chapter My Loving Family, he appears briefly with Francis as they argue over Seana, and that Francis wants to kill her before she harms one of his family members. However, Orion warns him to not interfere with anything going on, since Claire (his wife) gave him a severe warning to not interfere with anything in Celesta and Lily's lives. He then argues with Seana about the past and how she accused him of not caring that Riley and Emila Kane were murdered and he did nothing to avenge their deaths, only she did. He then has to incapacitate Francis before he killed Seana. Then, he gives Seana a final warning to leave Lily and Celesta be, or he would kill her himself.
