Lavinia Allocer's peerage

The peerage lead by Lavinia Allocer, occasionally also by Zenjirou Sasamoto, is the core group in High School DxD: Black, as well as the third strongest in Kuoh academy, right after Serena Sitri's and Audrey Gremory's own. Formed mostly by former humans/hybrids and being the youngest peerage right after the great Apocalypse, the group is unstable at best, only hold together by their sense of companionship and the desire of their king to become similar to the previous Gremory, Rias Gremory's peerage.

Since their queen is currently engaged to Irene Dantalion, Lavinia's group is afiliated and allies with her peerage. The group is also somehow part of the protagonist's own harem, much for his chagrin.

## Overview

The group was officially a peerage with the reincarnation of their Queen Zenjirou Sasamoto, as the first piece in Lavinia's own peerage during her first semester in Kuoh Academy. As the series progresses, more and more members began to take their places as new pieces for her. By the end of Volume 10, the peerage would would consist of 7 members, as Annabelle went stray after volume 4, and Takeshi also went stray and later died in volume 6. So far, the peerage has engaged in four Rating Games, losing the first two, drawing in the third, and finally winning in the fourth.

## Allies & affiliations

### Yoko

A first-rate senjutsu user, she's always around to help the group, as well as make a dirty joke around her proclaimed 'wife'. As such, the supernatural youkai faction from kanto is also allied to the said group.

### Berolina Allocer and Peerage

They would later train the younger peerage in order for them to survive the 22-Arcana Challenge.

### Irene Dantalion's Peerage

## Ranking

being still a new peerage, the group took part in just one Rating Game, and losing it so. Despite that, the key-word for them is 'potential'. Being all descendants or linked to powerful, royal beings, some of them even from high lineages, Lavinia's peerage is one which has the highests potential, Lavinia herself being part of the 'Silver Generation', a group of young devils with outstanding powers,whose evil pieces are all mutation Pieces. The peerage has also high evolutionary potential.
