The Bird’s Team

One of the most known and talented teams of all the Reaper groups. At one point, it held a consistent title as the strongest for nearly two decades. Although, at the start of Reaper Skies, the team has had the lowest ratings it’d had for years.

## Previous Team Members

### 7692 CH Members:

The members of this group served for roughly 19 years, the shortest time The Birds had ever lasted. This was likely due to many of the simultaneous retirements and replacements of members at once.

* Crane Elizabeth Sinclairs [*Codenamed:* The Crane]
* Avialae Seong [*Codenamed:* Birdbones]
* Passerine Kim [*Codenamed:* Perching One]
* Leon Albright Owlsey [*Codenamed:* Owl Eyes]
* Brooklyn Evolet Winters [*Codenamed:* Snowbird]
* Gracie Bloomington [*Codenamed:* Talons]
* (Unofficial) Fallen Peter Jacobs-Green [*Codenamed:* The Falconer]

#### *Angel of 7692 CH:*

* Corpse

This was the final team the Angel, Corpse, worked for. He would note this team as “the most disappointing firework in the world.” After this, Corpse was no longer assigned to work for any other teams. Some suspect it was the death of *Gracie Bloomington,* his rumored to be daughter, that drove him into retirement, and vanishing from public knowledge. But it’s mostly speculation as to what caused his disappearance.

### 7699 CH Members:

Not much is documented about this version of The Bird’s Team, but that didn’t mean they weren’t strong. The children of Oriole were put into this team, and rightfully so as they were incredibly skilled. But in a very unexpected turn, Flickerbird Sinclairs retired from Reaper life very early on, only during her seventh year as a part of this team. Which stirred some alarm in the public. Especially since the other Sinclairs sibling remaining in the team was Vulture Sinclairs, a ruthless and terrifying fighter. He was destructive and tended to cause more trouble than necessary.

This resulted in H.D.As.’s decision to manage his behavior more hands on. And seven years later, Vulture would be killed in action.

* Flickerbird Annarose Sinclairs-Steele [*Codenamed:* Lantern]
* Vulture Xander Sinclairs [*Codenamed:* The Bloodeater]

#### *Angel of 7699:*

* Alouette van Edenscheu [*Codenamed:* The Palaver]
* Lesley Parker [*Codenamed:* Candle]

Serving for only about half a year, Alouette wasn’t a very significant name to this variant of The Bird’s Team. Her replacement though, Lesley Parker, was quite the follow up. They were a bright and cheery Angel who had studied in forensics and medicine, and they were incredibly talented at their religious duties. Unafraid of violence, but delicate in the face of the feared. After The Bird’s Team’s members all either retired, or were displaced, Lesley was put back into the medical field, though briefly returned for a while as an Angel for other teams.

### 7662 CH Members:

The longest lasting team of 35 years, and definitely the most well known variant of the teams past and current. Oriole was the star Reaper of the team, and would often be the one leading the group out and into the jaws of danger itself. She was one of the strongest Reapers in history, and was held a hero by all who knew her. H.D.As. would often use her as the face of the association, and parade her as the champion of the people. Other members would fall to the wayside, unknown and forgotten.

The majority of its original members had either died or retired, while Oriole kept the team alive for 10 more years after their leaving. After Oriole’s retirement and death, a large ceremony was held in her honor. H.D.As. continues to promote the 7662 CH Bird’s Team as the golden standard of all Reaper teams, and their legacy remains of the most well documented in the history of all Reapers.

* Oriole Angeline Sinclairs [*Codenamed:* The Oriole]
* Osprey Orours [*Codenamed:* The Scavenger]
* Rosalee Evelyn Fernfield [*Codenamed:* Little Bird]
* Jackson Yong Hawke [*Codenamed:* The Hawk]
* Adel Rastami [*Codenamed:* Eagleheart]
* Mavis Lynn Huang [*Codenamed:* Songbird]
* Eva Ya Huang [*Codenamed:* The Dancer]
* Kestrel Gemmie Garcia [*Codenamed:* The Kestrel]

#### *Angel of 7662:*

* Alouette van Edenscheu [*Codenamed:* The Palaver]

Alouette was previously a reaper whom rose through the ranks heavily through connections, and she was known as one of the best information brokers in the world. She’d even make a side job of it. After the rise and retirement of Oriole Sinclairs, one of the most renowned Reapers in the world. Alouette sought to recreate her success with Oriole’s children, though it was in poor attempt. Not long after taking the mantle of Angel for the next generation of The Bird’s Team, she had died in an attack on the main campus of H.D.As. on a routine Angel’s meeting.

### 7549 CH Members:

The first members and variant of The Bird’s Team, they weren’t super notable as a group yet as of this time. But they were ranked quite high in their ratings, and went on for about 23 years of service.

* Lark Luebella Altaira [*Codenamed:* The Lark]

#### *Angel of 7549 CH:*

* Corpse

Corpse is arguably, the oldest member of the birds. He’s worked with several variations of the teams, though this as his first. His existence is an enigma, and at the time, all information on him was classified. His mysterious presence helped, as despite his quiet and cold demeanor, he was knowledgeable and kind. Preforming rituals and prayers with an ease that made anyone feel protected.
