Chess

Chess is a board game of skill. It is based on the Crux, the heart of the Universes. It has 32 black and 32 white squares, very much like the Crux. It also has 32 pieces on the board.
== Lord Loss and Chess ==
Lord Loss became fixated with Chess ever since he saw Drust, a Druid, playing it on the original board. He took the board from Drust's dead body to play on. Little did he know its full power at first.
== Bartholomew Garadex ==
Bartholomew Garadex, a distant member of the Grady family, found Lord Loss and his love of Chess. He played in a series of simple games. Each game he won, a werewolf in his family would be reverted back to human. In the end, old Bartholomew died, leaving his secrets in a magic code in a diary.
== The New Challenge ==
A non-magical human managed to decode the diary of Bartholomew. He then challenged Lord Loss but there was a catch. They would have to play on five boards simultaneously while a helper battled some of Lord Loss' familiars. If they failed, they and the werewolf would be killed. To this day, it is used.

Chris Massoglia

Christopher Paul "Chris" Massoglia (born March 29, 1992) is the actor who portrays Darren Shan in the Cirque du Freak movie.
== Early life ==
Chris Massoglia was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Christopher and Karen Massoglia. His father is a chiropractor and his mother a homemaker. His parents are devout Christians and Republicans, and Massoglia grew up a fan of Christian pop music (as well as unable to listen to rap music). He was homeschooled by his mother and while his peers were taking third grade-level subjects, Massoglia was taking eighth grade-level courses. By the age of 13, he had enrolled in an online university where his coursework included developmental psychology, Biblical studies, algebra, and American history. He also had studied jujitsu, played piano, trained as a hip-hop dancer, knew American sign language, and rode horses. He was also a stand-out Little League Baseball player. The Massoglia family has, as of 2009, refused to move to Hollywood, preferring to maintain a home in Minneapolis despite the extensive travel for Chris that this requires.
== Movie career ==
He began attending acting workshops at a dancing academy in his home town of Minneapolis while in middle school, and auditioning for television commercials by creating home-made audition tapes.[3] His first jobs included commercials for Target, Marshall Field's, PepsiCo, and Best Buy.
He began acting in 2003 under the name "Chris Kelly" (sometimes appearing as "Chris J. Kelly") in an episode of the television program Law & Order: Criminal Intent. The same year, he was considered for the part of 10-year-old Sean in the Nicole Kidman film Birth, but the family refused to allow him to appear naked on screen with a nude, grown woman. He auditioned for Spider-Man 2 (getting far enough in the casting process to spend an afternoon with Tobey Maguire) and Bad News Bears (he returned six times for call-backs but was not cast). He spent the summer of 2004 away from auditions to play Little League Baseball; his team (the Robbinsdale All-Stars) won the Minnesota state title that year but did not go to the Little League World Series after losing in the Indianapolis regionals. He appeared in two episodes of Medical Investigation in 2004, and four episodes of the TNT cable television police drama Wanted in 2005. He began using his family name of Massoglia in 2008.
He made his feature film acting debut in 2007 in the motion picture "A Plumm Summer", but his most prominent role as of 2009 was as "Darren Shan" in the 2009 film Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. Originally scheduled to debut in theaters in 2010, the film was moved to October 2009 to "capitalize on the Halloween season", and opened a month prior to another highly-anticipated vampire picture, .

* A Plumm Summer (2007)

Death

Death a.k.a. The Shadow, as it is referred to by The Disciples, is the leader of all Demonata. It is the natural force of Death with a conciousness, making it extremely deadly.
== The Demonata ==
=== Demon Apocalypse ===
Lord Loss and Nadia Moore served Death to achieve his goal. 
=== Death's Shadow ===
The Shadow's identity was revealed in the end of the chapter. It also brought back the dead in the form of zombies. 
=== Wolf Island ===
Grubbs, Beranabus, and Kernel have been torturing other demons about the identity of The Shadow.
=== Dark Calling ===
An Old Creature reveals to Kernel that Death was created when Bec cheated death. It worked in secrecy for hundreds of years, before revealing itself to numerous demon masters, including Lord Loss. It overpowered them and became the leader of all Demonata. Because of its power, it promised all demons that they would have eternal life.
=== Hell's Heroes ===
Death's physical form is destroyed in Hell's Heroes when the Kah-Gash turns back time to recreate a safer Universe.
Grubbs, Bec and Kernel recreate the universe, except in the restarted universe, Bec never cheated death, and therefore Death never developed a consciousness.
== Appearance ==
The Shadow looks like a giant octopus, with many tentacles. There are mouth's on the tentacles. It has very good grip, as Bec couldn't escape from it without assistance. It looks like it is made with patches of darkness, which are souls of the dead which have been brought back. The soul of Beranabus was part of the Shadow until its body was destroyed for the first time.
== Power and Abilities ==
The Shadow is Death, so it has a variety of powers and abilities.
One unique ability is the power to resurrect the dead. It resurrected Nadia Moore and thousands of people on the ship where it fought Beranabus. 
The body is not composed of solid matter so Shadow can be cut apart. However, it can also heal itself from all wounds, as revealed when Beranabus stabbed it. 
Death's tenteacles have the capability to penetrate, as shown in Death's Shadow, where it killed Beranabus. When Bec was in the Shadow's grip, she felt excruciating pain as the Shadow tried to extract the piece of Kah-Gash from her.
=== Weakness ===
Although the Shadow is a unique creature, it had one weakness which was exploited in Dark Calling. A window could be opened directly into the Shadow, and the physical body can be temporarily destroyed from the inside. Opening a window into Death is not easy, even for Kernel. When Death realised living beings were inside him, he unleashed tendrils much like the ones outside of his body.

Debbat Alg

Debbat Alg was a beautiful girl whom Jebel Rum had feelings for.
== History ==
She was the high maid of Wadi and Bastina was her handmaiden. Debbat helped Jebel get permission to go to Tabaygat, though only because she wanted to be honoured if Jebel didn't return or married to the most powerful man in Wadi if he did. When Jebel returned, Debbat was arrogantly sure that he would choose her as his wife but later grew to hate Jebel since she felt he brought shame upon Wadi. Jebel lost interest in Debbat and married Bastina instead.
== Personality ==
Debbat Alg was an extremely beautiful girl but she was also vain, petty, shallow and arrogant. She was eager to be honoured and only helped Jebel get permission to go to Tabaygat because she would be honoured if he failed or married to an invincible husband if he didn't. However Debbat had no feelings for Jebel; instead she had her eye on his elder brothers J'An and J'Al and couldn't decide which she wanted more. Debbat was smugly certain that Jebel would choose her as his wife, which displays her vanity and arrogance. Debbat was also considerably less compassionate than Jebel or Bastina, being indifferent to the brutal way slaves were treated or the fact that people were executed on a daily basis. However she did appear to love her father, Wadi Alg and was playful and affectionate around him.

Dervish's mansion

Dervish's mansion is in Carcery Vale. He bought an old place, and then did it up over the years until it was a mansion. His study is filled with books on the occult, and he has lots of bedrooms. His mansion once belonged to the infamous Lord Sheftree who fed a baby to piranhas. Dervish adorns the walls of the mansion with many weapons.
The cellar is the most important part of the house. It is a cave built into the rock, with a locked entrance from outside and a hidden entrance from the wine cellar. He uses it when he needs to make deals with demons, such as curing people of the family curse. This is why it is the only place in Carcery Vale that is not protected against demons.
