The Official Crest of the Scarlet Clan
The Scarlet Clan are one of the first founders of Adams Town. With their ability to turn their skin into stone, these powerful vampires are a formidable adversary. As the war of the clans quickly approaches, the vampires have amassed an army of vampire ghouls right beneath the feet of every citizen of Adams.
As the product of their reckless feeding practices, these vampire ghouls wait under the shadows, waiting for their master.
Kalia Scarlet
Born under the wing of the prestigious and feared Scarlet Clan, Kalia Scarlet was known for her bold and reckless battle tactics, which often blurred the line between bravery and chaos. She quickly earned a reputation within the clan as a fierce and unpredictable warrior, one whose methods often left destruction in their wake.
However, hidden beneath her fearless exterior lay a deeper, darker truth—one that would shape her destiny and forever alter her loyalty to the clan.
Whispers within the Scarlet Clan spoke of Lucious Scarlet, a prodigious figure revered and envied for what many considered a perfect existence. Lucious had been born a pureblood vampire, possessing all the strengths and abilities of their kind without any of the crippling weaknesses. He was a living embodiment of power, destined for greatness. But a century ago, fate had other plans.
During a treacherous journey through the northern mountain pass, Lucious’s caravan was ambushed by a pack of werewolves. The attack was brutal and swift, leaving him fatally wounded. By dawn, the heir of the Scarlet Clan was dead, his blood staining the cold mountain soil.
But what few knew, and what Kalia discovered through years of quiet servitude and observation, was the truth about Lucious and the bond they shared. Rumors of their connection were far from exaggerated—Lucious wasn’t just a revered clan member; he was Kalia’s brother. His death wasn’t just a loss to the clan—it was a personal tragedy.
With her discovery came a revelation: the betrayal of the clan’s leadership. The truth behind Lucious’s death wasn’t as simple as a random werewolf ambush. Hidden motives, power struggles, and negligence within the Scarlet Clan had contributed to his downfall, and they had let him die without lifting a finger to prevent it.
Cyrus Bane
Currently residing in a dormant state, Cyrus Bane is the silent guardian of the Scarlet Clan’s military forces, overseeing their training, strategy, and deployment from the shadows. His presence is felt, even if his appearances are rare, for the warriors under his command know that his reputation alone carries weight. He is a warrior of unparalleled skill and experience, known for his stoic demeanor and calculated tactics, but beneath that hardened exterior lies a deep and complicated bond with the one person who challenged him the most—Kalia Scarlet.
Cyrus’s origins are rooted in a different clan, one whose name has long been lost or erased from the pages of history after its dissolution. When the clan fell, Cyrus’s survival was ensured by his transfer to the Scarlet Clan, where he quickly proved himself invaluable. Trusted by the clan’s leadership, Cyrus was given an unexpected task: raising and training Kalia Scarlet, who was only seven years old at the time. Though their bond began as one of duty, it evolved into something much deeper. He became her mentor, her protector, and, in many ways, the closest thing she had to family after the death of Lucious Scarlet.
Under Cyrus’s guidance, Kalia flourished. She learned the art of war—how to wield a sword, defend herself with a shield, and outmaneuver even the most experienced opponents on the battlefield. Cyrus encouraged her boldness, her thirst for battle, and her determination, all the while shaping her into a warrior whose strength could rival even the clan’s finest. But as Kalia grew, so too did her recklessness and the darkness within her, fueled by her hatred toward the Scarlet Clan and the trauma of Lucious’s death.
When the clans waged their last war, Kalia became a destructive force on the battlefield. Fueled by rage and a desire to punish both friend and foe alike, she unleashed her full potential, cutting through enemy lines with brutal efficiency. But when the war ended and the victor had been declared, Kalia didn’t stop. She continued her rampage, seeking to annihilate anyone and anything in her path, blinded by bloodlust and vengeance.
Cyrus was left with no choice. His greatest pupil, the very person he had trained to be an unstoppable warrior, had become the clan’s greatest threat.
Elder Elenore Sahelian of the Scarlet Clan
As the current ruling elder of the Scarlet Clan, Elenore Sahelian holds more than just power—she commands influence and respect across multiple vampire clans, making her one of the most politically strategic leaders of her era. Known for her ability to forge alliances and manipulate outcomes to suit her vision, she is both revered and feared by allies and rivals alike. Her reign, however, is built on a delicate balance of success and failure, one of the most significant being the fallout from the conflict involving Kalia Scarlet.
Rumors have long circulated through Adams that Elenore secretly formed an alliance with the town’s hunters to stop Kalia’s rampage. Kalia had become an uncontrollable force, massacring anyone who stood in her way, and Elenore knew that if left unchecked, Kalia’s rage would not only destroy the town but also spark retaliation from other clans. A war between humans, hunters, and vampires would be inevitable—and disastrous.
Determined to prevent that outcome, Elenore devised a calculated plan. She enlisted Cyrus Bane, the only warrior capable of matching Kalia’s strength and skill, to confront her inside the sanctuary. Meanwhile, she had the hunters set a trap—one designed to capture Kalia alive, if possible, but deadly enough to end her should she prove uncontrollable.
But the battle inside the sanctuary did not go as Elenore had anticipated. Cyrus and Kalia clashed in a brutal, violent encounter that shook the very foundations of the ancient sanctuary. Kalia, driven by rage, pushed Cyrus to his limits, while Cyrus fought desperately to subdue her without killing her. The hunters’ trap was triggered, but not as intended. The combination of mirrors, magic, enchanted weapons, and Kalia’s unstable power caused a catastrophic backlash.
When the dust settled, both Cyrus and Kalia were petrified—turned to stone as a result of the spell gone awry. Neither warrior would rise for centuries to come, frozen in time as living statues within the sanctuary.
Though Elenore had failed to control the immediate situation, her cunning ensured that she emerged victorious in the long term. The other vampire clans, seeing Elenore’s ability to navigate such a delicate crisis, granted her control of the Scarlet Clan for the next century. Her political maneuvering allowed her to consolidate power, making the clan stronger despite the loss of two of its most powerful warriors.
Even now, as the centuries pass, Elenore keeps a close watch on the sanctuary, knowing that the petrification spell will not hold forever. Both Cyrus and Kalia will eventually return, and when they do, Elenore plans to ensure that their resurgence serves her vision of the Scarlet Clan’s future—or, if necessary, that they remain buried in history.
