Giant Mess of Families/Metaxas

**metaxas family**

Descended from none other than Alexander the Great, the Metaxas family are the masters of the Magical sector of Metaxas in the region of Macedonia. They are detached from the rest of the Wizarding world, preferring their seclusion in the magical barrier-protected, much bigger Magical sector of Metaxas. Despite their separation from the rest of the world, their spirit brand Metaxa is quite popular. The Muggle and Magical Metaxa brands are one and the same, except the Magical blend have been spiked with nanite gel that gives the family completely undetected surveillance on anyone and everyone who ingests it for 24 hours. This is how the family got their title as one of the most infamous info brokers of the Magical world.

As the price paid by Alexander for him to reach the level of greatness he has today, the Metaxas family suffers from an unbreakable, inheritable curse that more or less makes sure that they never make it past 60 years of age that manifests itself as a deadly illness that attacks their lungs. By the latest generation, the family has a number of professional potioneers and healers working on the nearest they could get to a cure or anything that could keep the illness at bay until it ultimately claims them when the time comes.

They are loosely allied with the Michelakakis family and are bound to the Jo family through the marriage of Galatea Metaxas and Jo Jae-Kyung. Other families closely tied with them are Xanthopoulos, Kriezis, Galifianakis, Yannakakis and Whitelaw among others.
