The Blackthorn Family is an old and wealthy Shadowhunter family. 
== History ==
In 1878, Rupert Blackthorn married Tatiana Lightwood. Months before the birth of their first child, Jesse, Rupert was eaten by a demonic worm that used to be Benedict Lightwood. Despite Rupert's death, Tatiana was still taken in by the Blackthorns.
As of 2012, the Los Angeles Institute is run by a Blackthorn and has been since as early as 1993. This generation of Blackthorns has a little bit of faerie blood, particularly in Andrew's eldest children, Helen and Mark, whose mother was a Seelie Court lady named Nerissa. This family is notable for their blue-green eyes and their names based from Greek or Latin historical figures because of Andrew's fascination with their mythology.
The Blackthorns have at least two family homes: the Blackthorn Hall in London, defaulted to the family through Tatiana's marriage to a Blackthorn and her claim on the property, and the Blackthorn manor in Idris which once burned down and was rebuilt.
In December 2012, Helen and her wife Aline adopted an orphaned baby warlock named Lynn; they would have three more children, two adopted and one biological via surrogacy. Julian married Emma Carstairs, and they had five children named John, Clarke, Lyssa, Marcus, and Cordelia.
