Blackmore

The family is a Magus lineage in Britain.
==Characteristics==
Their original name's history is lost as of the modern day, the family took the name Blackmore from a powerful Dead Apostle that was connected to the family. They took the name as a sign of respect for the Dead Apostle despite the Dead Apostle having died around two thousand years prior.
The family consists of soul carriers who practice the manipulation of Spirits, and they regard birds as sacred.
They owned the land which eventually became known as Blackmore Cemetery, the family eventually becoming its gravekeepers. They have been temporarily entrusted with the remains of King Arthur as of the modern day. The Blackmores have ties to the British government, and the government sometimes provides them with information because of the disagreements between Blackmore Cemetery and the Holy Church.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 7: case.

For centuries the gravekeepers have chosen a child from the village to train and be their successor so that the line of gravekeepers continues. The current gravekeeper Bersac Blackmore chose Gray nine years before the start of the story.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 6: case. Atlas Contract (Upper) - Chapter 2 Part 2 The Blackmore Magic Crest has had no Magecraft added to it through the generations. Its only function is to allow the owner to manipulate Add, the Mystic Code passed down through Blackmore Cemetery. The Magic Crest's lack of Magecraft means there is virtually no rejection when it is implanted into someone outside the family. This is why Gray is able to have it despite not being from the Blackmore bloodline.Lord El-Melloi II Case Files Volume 7: case.
