Madame Truska

Madame Truska is a skelk, a sea-creature that was often mistaken for being mermaids. She is able to grow fur all over her body as well as removing it again. When her family was attacked and killed by evil fishermen, Vancha brought her to the Cirque Du Freak to live there for thirty years as it is custom for the skelks to live without contact with their species when their husband dies. Madame Truska performs at the Cirque du Freak by growing facial hair and re attract it.
== In the Books ==
Madame Truska was the one who gave Darren his pirate costume. Truska is from a strange land, and initially spoke in a language that sounds like a seal's bark, but Evra later taught her how to speak English. Before learning english, she used a language most at the cirque could not understand. Apparently, she went skinny dipping in "the deep blue" with Vancha March, a Vampire Prince who could speak her native language.. She can also use her beard as a weapon when needed, as in Sons of Destiny , using her beard to strangle Vampaneze. 
In the The Lake of Souls she says that her husband and daughter were killed by an evil fisherman. When we go on to read the book, Darren and Harkat come across a pirate fisherman called Spits Abrams who is a cannibal. So it could be that Truska's husband and daughter were killed, cooked and eaten by Spits.
== In the Movie ==
Madame Truska is nothing like her book character. She can still grow her beard but that is where the similarities end. In the series it is stated that she has dark blonde hair, but in the movie she has dark brown.She doesn't speak in a foreign language and is dating Larten Crepsley, who makes an allusion to the fact that her beard grows as a sign of sexual arousal ("your lips says 'no! no!, but your beard says 'yes! yes!'). She can also tell prophecies. She knew that something bad would happen if Larten blooded Darren. However, she seemed to like Darren and accepted him into The Cirque du Freak, as did the most of the others.

Mika Ver Leth

Mika Ver Leth is a Vampire Prince whom at first Darren despised. He dresses in all black, as that is his custom. He has shiny, jet black hair (portrayed as long in the manga) and dark eagle-like eyes. His features are sharp and raven-like. He was the youngest prince before Darren at a mere 270 years old. He is very stern, gloomy, ugly and grumpy. He has many wrinkles on his forehead and sides of his mouth from always frowning. He rarely, if ever, smiles. Because of this he gives off a very intimidating persona. Like all princes, he has huge muscles and is quite tall (over 6 feet). He is very loyal to the Vampire clan and prizes honor and good-standing above all else. In the fight for Vampire Mountain in book 6, Mika led the second wave of fighters against the Vampaneze. He enjoys fighting and hates icky spiders. Seba had told Darren of Ba'Shan's spiders, Darren said to Seba do not tell Mika because he would stamp them out of existence.

Original board

The original board is the first chess board ever made.
== History ==
=== Origins of the board ===
The original board was given to humanity by the Old Ones to help in our development in to a more advanced race as they did with hundreds or thousands of other planets originally it was guarded by humanity (most likely druids on account of the fact that Drust possessed it during his pilgrimage to destroy the tunnel with Bec McConn) until Lord Loss took it from Drust's dead body to try and unlock its powers after seeing Drust with it upon a cliff in a place of old magic where violence is forbidden.
=== The creation of chess ===
To give themselves something to do while protecting the board the human guardians created figurines out of pieces of wood and created a game to use with them the game caught on and was replicated many times on different boards without the powers of the original and later even found purchase upon the demonic realm which gave hope to those in the Grady clan who were stricken by the curse of the werewolf that effected them for more than a thousand years.
== Powers ==
Even in the thousand years Lord Loss possessed the board it seems he had not discovered all its powers as he made no reference to its greatest power of being able to trigger evolution in beasts if the animals in question so chose however he had discovered a minimum of one power which he used at least twice this power was the immense size of the board on the inside despite the lack of size it possessed in the demonic and human dimensions it is not known if it has any other powers but due to Lord Loss' initial comment about him sensing great power coming from the board it is likely it could have many more powers that have remained undiscovered to all who have tried to tap its secrets.

He died of "old age" in book eight due to the fact he walked into the wilderness and wrestled a bear (due to their life-style, old Vampires often choose to fight a battle they know they possess no hope of winning rather than die peacefully). He also helped Darren fight the Vampaneze. He is also the one who re-blooded Vancha March when Vancha was originally a half-vampaneze.
