Gnonyma Sophia Durant
Formally 'Lila', until she changed her name.
Gnonyma is the mother of Vercor and Stathis. She is very shrewd and extremely stubborn. Although she can be loud about her staunch opinions she respects the unspoken family hierarchy and will defer to Vercor when he speaks. Her specialised magic is in names. She is the family name giver, able to know people's true name and the name that would suit them best.
Widowed to: Philippe Montavon-Durant. Took his wife's name and was a specialist in magical incantations. |

Vercor Augustus Durant | Archon
"Der Drache"
Vercor is the Archon of his bloodline which encompasses all those with genuine claim to the line of Drachenblut and Despoinides. In short, is the one who has the final decision on all family matters. During his time as Archon he has established that it is as dangerous to waste his time as to leave him out of important matters.
His area of study is magic in its purest form, often identified as the point at which will becomes manifest. Study of this has allowed him to better use pure magic in its offensive, defensive and sensory purposing in stronger and more effective forms. This early series of breakthroughs has allowed him to continue his research into more specific areas out of the intrusive gaze of family expectation.
Married to: Lieselotte Durant, formally of the Kohler family and talented elemental mage. |

Stathis Pertinax Durant | The Archon's Aide
Stathis is the older brother of Vercor and his brother's aide. Since his brother's appointment to scholarship, Stathis has been supplying him with his every need and protecting him from threats big and small. He is extremely close to Vercor and comfortable with his place in the family. When Vercor married Stathis' tasks were shared with Lieselotte and later his primary task was to care for and teach Vercor's children.
His specialty is force magic and shields, though his brother has taught him a few tricks. In his years teaching his nephew and niece he has grown especially close to Isidor who also has to guard her brother. Although not the most politically apt, Stathis has done well enough in business, though more through hard graft than through business smarts. It's only down to years of experience that he's able to hide a certain rough awkwardness and tame a fierce knee-jerk temper. His wisdom is in knowing how to manage the delicate family dynamics of the Durants.
Unmarried. |

Viatorus Atlas Durant | The Dreamwalker
The youngest Durant, Viatorus is his generation's scholar and a natural dreamwalker and very talented at astral projection. He's socially awkward, timid except when he doesn't know to be, and far smarter than he'll ever come across. Studying suits him, which is lucky, and he's very thankful for his sister who he's very fond of, despite her sometimes overbearing protectiveness.

Engaged: Ingirun Nyström. |

Isidor Briar Durant | The Dreamwalker's Aide
"Briar"
Isidor is sharp, and has put her keen mind to the task of business and security. She more than makes up for her brother's cluelessness or nervousness in social situations. From an early age she has defended her brother from physical attack, psychic entities and sarcastic jabs. She will always assume a suspicious attitude towards those spending time with her brother, and has even less patience for disrespect than her father. She has a lot to prove and is extremely aware that her brother does too.
Isidor is incredibly talented and able to use 'pure' and arcane magic with nearly as little effort as her father. She also knows how to summon an axe, but most of her skill relies on manipulating arcane power. She has also picked up several tricks to banish entities, put quick protections up and to draw back her brother when he's away from his body.
Unmarried: Will be last to be arranged a marriage. |
