The Thousand Islands

The Thousand Islands are an extensive collection of islands in the Shivering Sea off the northern coast of Essos and the forested region of Mossovy

Ibbenese fishermen have been known to explore the lands, but rarely fish there, for the creatures in the waters of the Thousand Islands are described as oddly misshapen, with a bitter and unpleasant taste.

These isles are sea-girt scatter of bleak and windswept rocks. Some believe they are the remnants of a drowned kingdom whose buildings were submerged by the rising sea thousands of years ago, owing the appearance of sunken temples and statues upon the shores at low tide.

Few mariners land on the islands, due to their inhabitants, who are aggressive towards any who try to land upon them, although fearful of the waters themselves, into which they will not enter, even under threat of death. Some see this consternation as further proof of a great flood of the isles, from which the descendants have learned to fear to wrath of the sea, and its destructive capabilities.
The Northern Trade Coalition

Their official seal, a white weirwood on red

The Northern Trade Coalition is a trade alliance between several Northern houses. The purpose of the coalition was to stimulate the North's economy and expand sea trade to and from the region.

## History

The coalition was founded in 280 AC by Lord Duncan Manderly. It began as a trade alliance between houses Manderly and Umber, involving construction of a port on the Long Lake and increased trade on the White Knife.

It was expanded at a critical meeting at an inn in Winter Town, where Lord Manderly gathered many Northern noblemen and proposed his plan. Those he invited all accepted, with the exception of Lord Umber, content with the previous trade deal their houses had made.

Several moons later, renovation of a room in the New Keep had been completed, giving the Coalition an official council chambers in White Harbor. House Dustin had also joined the coalition, and an offer has been extended to House Glover as well.

With the onset of a famine in the Vale during the Third Moon of 282 AC, several members of the coalition sailed ships to Gulltown containing food and other supplies.

## Policies

1. All members must routinely tend to their harbors and maintain infrastructure to facilitate trade.
2. All trade agreements, public or private, involving member houses must be reported.
3. (Pending)

## Members

The members of the Northern Trade Coalition include:

- House Manderly of White Harbor

- House Karstark of Karhold

- House Dustin of Barrowton

- House Cerwyn of Castle Cerwyn

- House Flint of Widow's Watch

- House Magnar of Kingshouse

-House Locke of Oldcastle

-House Woolfield of Ramsgate

The Order of Reachfire

File:Placeholder
Born from the ashes of the Siege of Highgarden. The previously unnamed Reachfire Order is a military chivalric order of Knights and Warriors predominantly within the Reach. The founder's scope of it's usage however expanded far beyond the borders of the Reach into the six other Kingdoms. An ideallistic view more appropriate in the Age of Heroes.

## Founding

> "In recognition for your actions in the Siege of Highgarden, I give you 500 knights from the retinues of House Tyrell. Let them be used as a shield to guard the Reach from all enemies, foreign and domestic." - King Daemon Blackfyre III
>
>

In an act of grace, the King awarded the Knight responsible for assisting Lord Roxton with Highgarden's liberation five hundred soldiers from the levy of House Tyrell. Ser Alester, a humble and honorable man couldn't have asked for anything further.

## Rise in power.

> "Our egos will never outweigh the people. In return we only ask for service. Invite the Godsworn. Protect the Silent Sisters as they go about their Holy work. Safeguard the roads. We will be the beacons in this coming storm. The lights of hope and reason." - Ser Alester Oakehart
>
>

Subsequently after being awarded the five hundred souls from the retinues of House Tyrell, in the ashes of their home the birthplace of The Reach, the hallowed halls of the Gardeners, Alester instructed his closest allies and the hardiest of fighters to ride out and spread the word. That Alester Oakheart, Knight, was organizing a military order to protect and rejuvenate the Reach. Over the course of the coming days warriors of all walks of life came to follow him and his ideal. An additional four hundred sixty and seven able bodies from the remains of the Tyrell and Fossoway forces rallied to him. It wasn't until the following day did Alester ask the King for official blessing to raise a military force as an official knightly order, dedicated to his peace.
Valysar

### Currency

Honors (Copper, Bronze, Silver and Gold) (Roughly equivalent to Pennies, Stars, Stags and Dragons respectively)

### Famed for

The Old Man's Temple

Valysar is a walled town within the territory of Volantis, and has been ruled over the Triarchy ever since the expansion under the tiger Triarchs.

Much like the nearby settlement of Volon Therys, despite being called a town, it is comparable in size to Westerosi cities like Lannisport or Gulltown.

## Layout

Built around the Rhoyne as it flows south towards the great delta where it meets the Summer Sea, the largest buildings are found at the waterside, with the density and height of construction decreasing the further from the fast-flowing waters one travels.

Buildings of particular note include:

* The timber-yards - Serving a similar purpose as Volon Therys, Valysar functions as a processing stop upon the journey of Qohorik timber onto the traders that carry it across the Summer Sea, and the city reflects this. One in four buildings at the edge of the river have some connection to the labour, whether it be saw-yards, storage warehouses or the quarters of those whom work within them.
* The Old Man's Temple - Dedicated to the Old Man of the River, the son of Mother Rhoyne, the oval shaped place of worship is delicately painted to resemble the shelled appearance of the lesser god it reveres. Whilst the more zealous of the city claim the building is in fact made of shell rather than stone, any real inspection of the construction will prove this belief to be false.
Una Hailsnow

## Early Life

Una Hailsnow was born in245 AC as a legal daughter of Halys Snow and Sansa the Huntress. As a reward to her father for being a faithful servant of House Hornwood, his daughter was allowed to have an adapted name of Hailsnow.

Una was trained by her father to be a fighter like him. She preferred the sword and shield. She quickly became known for her size and strength and her beauty. But she had no time for any of the men and anytime a man came near her she would beat them with her fists. And if they got too close she used her sword.

## Harwin the Black

Una stayed in the Hornwood, camping in the woods and hunting the Moose and other animals to sustain herself. One day two travelers on horses stumbled across her camp and started pillaging it for the little resources she had. When she found them she killed one and kept the other; tying him to a tree and torturing him repeatedly. But no matter what she would do the captive seemed to enjoy the scenario and the pair got to talking. It turned out he was Lord Harwin she had been torturing. She quickly apologised and released him. But he had fallen in love with her and they stayed in contact. She eventually became his sworn sword and had a bastard child with him - Edmon Snow.

She went along with Lord Harwin's plan to murder Lady Royce on the Kingsroad and fled to Essos with her lover. Her current status is unknown.

### Gathering the worthy.

Ser Alester sent a message with several good men of his household guard, calling for all citizens fit to fight for the King's peace to meet at the Deserted Rose, a Tavern in Kings Landing. The turnout was much more than Alester could have hoped for and fifteen good folk pledged their blades to Lord Alester, Knight and heir of Old Oak. Ten Knights of the hedge with a couple notable names among them. A pair of sellswords looking to besmirch their former company and the most surprising of them all. A baker family.

### A pause to Justice.

Just as the party was setting out the next day, a meeting had been convened at the behest of a Highlord in the Reach. Lord Leyton Hightower called his fellow Reach Lords to him and Ser Alester and Ser Fossoway were beholden to attend despite their previous engagement.

### First Blood.

The party encounters minimal resistance in the terms of peacekeeping. Lord Fossoway is not satiated and Alester still doesn't wish to return home just yet. Sers Tommard and Royce find a trail of boot prints in marching line.

Tor

Tor is the smallest of the fourteen major islands of the Stepstones.

## History

Little more than a barren peak reaching from the Narrow Sea, Tor is the smallest of the major islands, and is considered to be the least desirable, both from a strategic and functional point of view. The rough terrain makes farming and other agriculture difficult, and what is not blown away by the frequent storms that pass through grows stunted and weak from the acidic soil.

## Recent History

Tor was claimed by The Stonefist, Captain Alran, when he and his brother declared themselves Pirate Kings of the Stepstones. Shunning Tor, he decided to make his seat the nearby isle of Felstrong.
The Skirmish on Redwater Coast

The Skirmish on Redwater Coast was a naval battle that marked the start of Royal involvement in the War of Unification.

## Events

Meeting with a joint Lyseni-Velayron-Royal fleet, the forces of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters clashed first with the Iron Throne off the western coast of the Stepstones island of Redwater. Whilst named a skirmish by the accounts of the exchange, the battle was widespread, and resulted in significant losses for both sides. The Kingdom of the Three Daughters would eventually prevail, and would use Redwater as a forward outpost for its attempts against Lys until the Liberation of Golden Haven.

During the seventh moon of 245AC, a Myrish fleet, commanded by the legendary Captain Nyesso Marios numbering eighty warships, sailed south, bound for Lys, but found themselves stalled by the pirate fleet of Stallonos Saan, whom had been hired by the Free City to make time for Blackfyre reinforcements and were lying in wait of the shore of Redwater. A vicious naval battle occurred, resulting in the deaths of both Nysesso and Stallanos' first-born son Syreo, whom were slain when their vessels, *Black Lace* and *Wvyern* collided during the heat of the engagement.

Shortly afterwards the loss of their Captain, reinforcements in the form of Velaryon and Royal warships appeared upon the western horizon and Nyesso's lieutenant, Tregos, now Captain of the Myrish forces, ordered his men to make for the island of Redwater, retreating onto land where they could fortify and better defend against the greater force. As the last of their ships burned, the Myrish sailors and warriors hurried to build wooden palisades and trenches to slow the enemy approach.

Ser Lerris Velaryon, Captain of the Westerosi reinforcements ordered the immediate pursuit of the Myrish soldiers, but found himself cut off by the arrival of another, larger fleet flying the flag of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters, and above it the three-headed crimson dragon. Moving his ships to spar them from the brunt of the oncoming force, Stallanos Saan left the Westerosi fleet's flank unguarded, and soon near a third of the ships had burned, sunk or both.

Opting to retreat rather than suffer further loses at the hands of the Tyroshi ships, Lerris Velaryon fled south, towards Lys itself, to consolidate strength for the oncoming conflicts.
Justine

Other versions
* Book Justine

**Justine** is a werewolf from New York.

## History

When Simon Lewis became vampire he was appointed as ambassador to the Werewolves by the new leader of the Brooklyn vampire clan, Raphael Santiago, due to his good relationship with the new alpha of the local pack, Luke Garroway.

When Simon went to Jade Wolf to talk to Luke, Justine was the waitress who served him and brought him a planting of noodles, which he obviously didn't eat as a vampire. Apparently, Simon found her attractive as he stared at her and when she smiled at him her fangs became visible, which Justine didn't like at all.
The Thunder Hooves (Jelmāzma Kipagon)

## Overview

The Black Hawk

## History

Ever since he was a boy, Ornmyr was quick on his feet. His agility led to him become a hunter for his tribe, quickly becoming the main source of food for the small group of thirty. The more Ornmyr’s hunting skills grew, the more it seemed the rest of his tribe’s skill waned. Thinking his tribe ungrateful and lazy, on his nineteenth nameday Ornmyr abandoned his tribe to go live alone in the Haunted Forest.

Taking residence in an abandoned hut built in the trees, Ornmyr soon found himself companion. An enormous black, white, and grey eagle seemed to have claimed the hut before him, and often would feed on the scraps that Ornmyr threw from his fire. Over time he managed to

## Family Information

### Salt Wife

Syrus Bolton

tame the eagle, with the bird leading Ornmyr to game too large for the eagle herself to take down. Naming his feathery friend Nightwing, the two became inseparable.

While Ornmyr could hunt to survive, he did not know how to work leather, weave cloth, or fletch an arrow. He eventually established a good relationship with the tribes of the haunted forest and the Ravenwatch. Ornmyr would trade meat, pelts, and animal parts in return for arrows, leathers, and other “manufactured” goods. They called Ornmyr “Blackhawk”, for his massive black bird and his cloak fashioned from his companion’s shed feathers. After several altercations with stingy wildlings ending up with eyes torn from their sockets, the Blackhawk has established himself over the years as a man not to be cheated.

## Recent Events

Recently, Ornmyr has befriended Baegir, the Wolf Breaker. A Thenn of towering size, his strength will no doubt aid the Black Hawk on his many hunts. On their very first hunt together, they would find a grey direwolf. Using his deep connection with nature, the Black Hawk calmed the beast, and brought it back to his hut in the trees.

On a journey to Darkpine Hall to trade with the Ravenswatch, Ornmyr found something truly magnificent: encased in a small chunk of ice, the Black Hawk found a legendary artifact; the Horn of Joramun, said to be able to bring down the wall with its call. The Black Hawk thought it was pretty neat.

Taking the most of his situation, the Black Hawk began mustering an army to march south of the wall. Men from Whitetree, Stoneback, and the whole Thunder Fist tribe backed him, numbering his followers at over 3800. Several weeks later, the tribes of Gorrandson and Icehook joined him, pushing his followers to over ten thousand.

Over the months, more and more tribes would rush to the Black Hawk's side. In time, Ornmyr had gathered all the tribes save two. The Stoneheads, and the Highfists. His host over thirty thousand strong, they marched yet further North in search of Giants. Finding a huge horde of forty-three, the Black Hawk managed to convince four of them to follow him back to the rest of the army.

Torrhen 'the Imp' Karstark

**Torrhen Karstark** is the third trueborn child of Lord Karlon Karstark and his wife, Serena Cerwyn. He was born to the couple in 276 AC in their home of Karhold. During the birth of Torrhen, his mother died. The maesters say that Torrhen had been unnatural and deformed, and it killed his mother. Despite the anger his father Karlon felt, he managed to forgive his son Torrhen for it but still he reminds him of his dead wife whenever he sees him.

## Appearance

Torrhen Karstark is a dwarf with stubby legs, a jutting forehead, eyes of pure ice white, and black hair. His unique stare has been said to make most people uncomfortable, which Torrhen tries to use to his advantage.
The Highfist Clan

The Highfist Clan is a large wildling tribe that inhabit the lands around the Fist of the First Men, including the Haunted Forest to the south and east.

They frequently raid the lands of the Stonehead Tribe, their close neighbours, and as such most Highfist Clan members have more Stonehead blood in their veins that any other, given the number of women stolen from them.
The Festival of Colour

The Festival of Colour is an annual celebration that takes place in the Free City of Tyrosh, typically during the ninth moon of the year. It runs for two weeks, and is intended to celebrate the dyes that first made Tyrosh rich.

## History

First celebrated in 133AC by the Archon Irrio Hartys, the Festival of Colour has changed over the years. It was first celebrated by just the nobility, who would hold a great feast within the Archon's Palace, feasting on foods dyed in brilliant vibrancy, from red breads to green quail eggs. Such was a show of such brazen wealth that it has largely fallen out of favour with the rich of the city over the years, but it still persists to some extent.

Whilst the House Hartys has faded into obscurity, the festival persists, but is very different from what was once created by Archon Irrio. The celebrations now last seven days, and involve most of the free residents of the city.

## Format

For the duration of the festival, those taking part are encouraged to wear bright colours or dye their high vibrant colours - something most often achieved by the less well-off members of the city via use of boiled onion skins to produce vibrant yellow tunics. The more wealthy will traditionally show it off via use of purple and blue dyes, both of which associated with significantly expense.

Throughout the week, the common and market districts of the city are transformed by an army of merchants selling brightly coloured trinkets and food, seeking to make a fortune from the visitors that influx into the city to enjoy the festivities. At the Fountain of the Drunken God, a great stage is constructed and decorated with streamers of fabric, and musicians and mummers perform throughout the day and night.

Most of the nobility will celebrate the Festival in their own way within their manses in the Golden District, but often will visit the stage at the Fountain too, where they can enjoy the entertainment in their own private area of the plaza, surrounded by a wall of guards that separate them from the common rabble.
The Skirmish in the Stormy Wood

## History

The Reach Rangers under the command of Ser Damion Fossoway and Ser Alester Oakheart tracked a group of heavily armored and armed bandits deeper into the Stormlands. Under the pretence these men were the former scourges that haint Ser Damion's past.

However, while it was revealed at the culmination of the short and bloody conflict that these men were not the same men that Lord Fossoway Hunted.

Before the initial plunge, Ser Alester commanded the group to split into two groups at the behest of and counsel of Lord Fossoway. The more experienced riders would be with the vanguard who would be commanded by Lord Fossoway. The lieutenant Alester placed in charge was Ser Tommard of Ninestars. One of the Valeman responsible for discovering the heavy bootprints in the muck of the Stormlands. Alester would take on the remaining men and form a right flank to be the anvil against which Damion pushed the bandits.

## The Course of Battle

Lord Fossoway divided his vanguard into two chevrons of five riders. Two outrider skirmishers per chevron to ride down any fleeing enemies before they could outrun the engagement proper. The tactic was masterful and broke the bandits who awaited in ambush formation.

As planned, Ser Alester's flanking group drew the enemy in much closer than previously percieved and the battle quickly became one of a ground clash rather than a horse to ground clash. The pincer approach was costly as Ser Alester's less tried and true formation of reinforcements were being bested by the highwaymen in terms of skill where it counted. Despite slaying the bandit gang leader, Arrel the Black, Ser Alester's troops were relieved by the nearby overflow of Lord Fossoway's charge. The skirmish was quickly decided afterwards.

## The Losses.

Nine Knights perished for their commanders that day. Among them notable:

* Ser Tommard of Ninestars, Lieutenant to Lord Fossoway
* Ser Samwell Blueblade, Fellow Reachman

Eight bandits also were expedited to the Stranger while Five were captured.

At the end of the events, a cache of stolen goods was uncovered and the dead were gathered.
Walano

Walano is one of the fourteen islands that make up the main Summer Isles archipelago.

## Description

The northernmost of the three major islands in the Summer Isles, Walano is the  second largest island in terms of size and largest in population. This is primarily due to it containing three major cities: Lotus Port, Last Lament, and Tall Trees Town, the last of which is widely considered to be the heart of culture and religion in the Summer Isles. The Island of Walano has grown wealthy over the millennia through profitable trade with the mainland continents of Westeros and Essos. Although it has been raided by slavers from Slaver’s Bay and The Free Cities many times, there has never been a large scale foreign attack.

## Rulers

The Island of Walano is ruled over by three Princes/Princesses, each ruling from one of the three major cities on the Isle. House Zoq rules over the city of Last Lament as well as the North-Western tip of the island. House Raaso rules over the city of Lotus Port as well as most of the Western half of the island. House Zhaqu rules over the city of Tall Trees Town as well as the Eastern half of the island.

Now, however, the balance of power on the Island of Walano has been completely overturned, perhaps forever. With Xhala Raaso having taken over the cities of both Last Lament and Tall Trees Town and having killed or forced into hiding all members of her rival Houses, the near future of Walano is sure to be a bloody one.

## Locations

### Lotus Port

The largest and most populous city in the Summer Isles, the City of Lotus Port is located on the southern banks of the Island of Walano, on the western half of the island. While large and populous, the city of Lotus Port does not hold as much cultural and religious significance as the city of Tall Trees Town, nor as much importance in trade as the city of Last Lament. Nevertheless, Lotus Port remains an important strategic settlement, and the Raaso family which rules it is known to be one of the most powerful in all of the Summer Isles.

Under Xhala Raaso’s rule, Lotus Port has been declared the Capitol of all of the Summer Isles by its child Queen, and the city has been fortified heavily in preparation for attack.

### Last Lament

While smaller and less populous than both Lotus Port and Tall Trees Town, Last Lament boasts to be the wealthiest city in all of the Summer Isles. This is almost entirely due to its location as the northernmost city in the Isles, and the fact that most foreign traders stop in Last Lament before any other Summer Islander port.

Under Xhala Raaso’s rule, much of the wealth of Last Lament has been seized during the sacking of the city to fund the child Queen’s vast army.

### Tall Trees Town

Known widely to be the cultural and religious center of the Summer Isles, Tall Trees Town has a rich and storied history. The High Priestesses of the Summer Islands reside in Tall Trees Town, where they carve the history of their people into the famous Talking Trees.

Under Xhala Raaso’s rule, the High Priestesses have been imprisoned, and those who have spoken out against the child Queen have been killed.
The Mott Family

The Mott Family is one of the two primary ruling families in Qohor, the other being the Eranel Family. They style themselves as the *Master Forgelords of Qohor*.

Their wealth comes from the products they forge within the Steel Hold, and the renown of their prowess. The family was responsible for the gifting of a Valyrian Steel arakh to Khal Azho, and own a suit of plate armour made from the material.

## The Steel Hold

Home of the Mott Family, the most famed and skilled of all the families that heat and shape steel and other metals into keen blades, steadfast shields and a myriad of other items, the Steel Hold is a colossal monolith of dark stone and metal. It is protected by two concentric rings of high walls upon which guardsmen in fanciful armour patrol. It is said that the very dirt around the Steel Hold is warm to touch from the never-ceasing forges found at the heart of the construction.
The Burning Fleet

The Burning Fleet is a sellsail company based predominately around the Stepstones, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters and the Free City of Lys. They have proven to be an expensive but highly effective company on a number of occasions, most recently in an altercation between two separate families in Myr.

They are most recognisable for their sails of pale orange-red and their large flagship, a dromond with over fifty oars.
The Blinkpeak Clan

The Blindpeak Clan are a small wildling tribe that lives in the Frostfangs, near the mountain known as the Blind Peak, which gives the clan their name.

Capable navigators and climbers, many members of the tribe claim to be able to traverse the mountain tops at any time, even when a blizzard is blowing through the range. Despite their undeniable talent, few have managed to definitively prove their claims though, and few progress further than bold boasts around a hearth-fire.
The Veiled Isle

The Veiled Isle is one of the fourteen major Stepstones islands. It is named for the frequent fogs and mists that cover the island.

## History

Located deceptively close to Dorne, The Veiled Isle is shrouded in near continuous mists. As such, the isle provides a refuge for those not wanting to be found, although often proves perilous to those who seek harbour. Rocks and crags hidden by fog litter the waters around the island, and the land itself is fraught with caverns and cliffs that threaten to drop the unwary to a quick death.

## Recent History

Until recently, the Veiled Isle and the nearby island of Bloodstone was ruled over by the Sleeper King, before his crew mutinied him, abandoning him on a small, nameless isle south of Redwater.
Lin Yuan Yang

Treaty at Dagger Lake

The Treaty at Dagger Lake was the name given to the historical signing of an agreement between the Free Cities of Qohor and Norvos, stating that they would stand together in trade and war against the growing Targaryen threat in the Disputed Lands.

## Prelude

Between the years of 244AC and 247AC, the Targaryens exiled to Westeros started their rapid expansion of power in the Disputed Lands, quickly claiming Tyrosh and Myr via use of puppet officials, before declaring war upon Lys too. Shocked by the speed of their growth, the Bearded Priests of Norvos, led by Belar the Certain, sent the Magister Vargen Ahrohr to treat with the Mott and Eranel families of Qohor, seeking an alliance.

## The Treaty

After three moons of negotiations of terms and clauses, the treaty was finalised and ready for officiation. The Norvoshi wished for the treaty to be signed within their own city, the Qohorik the same, so it was eventually decided that they signing would take place at the edge of their respective territories, upon the largest isle in Dagger Lake, which had been recently scoured of the pirate-lord Haggar the Dour.

On a cloudy day, the Magisters and Bearded Priests of Norvos met with the heads of the Eranel and Mott families of Qohor, and the agreement was signed, and has been upheld ever since.
The Red Paw Tribe

The Red Paw Tribe is a clan of wildlings that reside in the Haunted Forest, around a primitive village of huts known as the Fox's Den. They survive by hunting the few deer and boar that reside within the trees, and by catching fish in the nearby tributaries of the Antler River.

They often move south, closer to the Wall when the snow begins to deepen with the change of seasons.

They are known from their crude helmets and plate armour, shaped from scales of slate and other stone. Their weapons are also made of stone, but of fine craftsmanship, with handles bound in deer hide and sinew.

* Book Alaric
* Film Alaric

**SPOILER WARNING: Plot details follow. *Caution is advised!***

Detective **Alaric Rodriguez** was a werewolf of the New York pack, a loyal follower and friend of the pack leader Luke Garroway, as well as his partner at the NYPD.

## History

### Early life

When Alaric first Turned, he came to Luke for help. The pair eventually became detectives and partners at the New York Police Department, working closely as they took over cases that would interest their pack.

### New leader

In 2016, their pack—specifically Theo, their leader at the time—is among the group of Downworlders interested in the Mortal Cup. He and Luke were tasked to use their connections at the NYPD to look for Clary Fray, who was believed to be in possession of the Cup. At the same time, they were assigned to continue working on the "Demonic Murder" cases, later discovered to be deaths caused by Valentine's experiments.

Alaric would constantly remind Luke that their people were watching them closely, and that they should still be cautious so as not to risk their covers.

Despite seemingly wanting to side with Luke in his own endeavors, Alaric remained loyal to Theo and the pack. He followed his orders and even kidnapped Clary and Simon Lewis, bringing them to Jade Wolf to be interrogated. Nonetheless, he tried to protect them from Theo's wrath by speaking to Clary himself. It was also through Alaric that Luke was able to track them down. When Luke killed Theo, Alaric bowed to Luke, recognizing him as their new alpha.

### Decisions

Luke's leadership and loyalty to the pack came into question several times since he took over, and even Alaric came to doubt his decisions at times. Alaric was against letting the vampire Simon stay at the Jade Wolf but was swayed by Luke. When Jace became a suspect in the murder of their fellow pack member Gretel, Alaric seemingly supported Luke's belief in Jace's innocence despite the other pack member's eagerness to go after the Shadowhunter for justice.

Finally, when they learned that the Soul-Sword could decimate their kind, Alaric, though doubtful himself, trusted Luke's judgment and was able to convince the pack to join Luke and the other Downworlders to see Jace's plan through. They were promised that Jace would be able to destroy the Sword, and once it was, the Downworlders would charge and attack Valentine; believing that they would be safe, they stormed into the Institute after receiving the cue, though Luke, Maia, and Meliorn were engaged in battle outside and were left behind. However, Jace had unknowingly activated the sword, and Valentine wielded it just as Alaric and the other Downworlders entered, killing them all almost instantly.

Daniel Quinn

**Daniel Quinn** was a vampire and a member of the Brooklyn vampire clan.

## History

As a clan member, Quinn was a follower of his clan leader, Raphael Santiago. However, when he found out that Simon Lewis was a Daylighter, his allegiance quickly shifted and he and other vampires went behind Raphael's back and told Simon that they wanted to be a part of his clan; Simon had no interest in heading up his own clan and declined.

When Quinn found Simon at the Hunter's Moon, he ordered him a shot of plasma and invited him to a bleeder den, where mundanes willingly came to get fed on by vampires. There, Quinn hooked Simon up with a frequent mundane patron, Heidi. After Simon left, Quinn fed on Heidi but was unable to control himself and drained her of blood, killing her. When Simon found out, he confronted Quinn at the den; the two faced off in a battle and Quinn was staked and killed. To clear Simon's name, Raphael told the detective Ollie, under the influence of his *encanto*, about Quinn but told her that he had disappeared and would never be found.
