Through the Devil's Eyes: Notes for Nicky (7 page)

Name 

Description 

(1st) Bade Keel 

Bade rarely speaks and has little power since he was appointed, as a suggestion by Savage himself, due to his battling skills and in hopes of winning his loyalty when it came time for war. Bade sticks to his loyal servants, which are all men, and does not like to deal with outsiders. He is more of an all-out warrior, a champion warrior. Bade is handsome and manly, and is desired by most every woman that meets him but has little interest in any of them. He prefers to use their desperation for fun and entertainment for his men and lovers. Bade has not been known to be in love, but the moment he met Nick Jayzon he fell hard and desires him like no other. He will be loyal to Nick just in case it may win him favor and more attention from Nick.

(2nd) Daijiro Tillian 

Daijiro is a crotchety old man who looks as if he will turn to dust at any time but is stronger than he looks, strong as steel in fact. If you punch Daijiro, he won't feel it and you will break your hand. His body cannot be penetrated with the usual weapon, he must be frozen; frozen solid and then broken. For this reason Daijiro, will not come near ice and you are never to serve him anything cold.

(3rd) Marius Cane 

Marius is an egotistical jackass. He has been using Galena to try and win favor with Savage, who has never trusted or cared for him at all. Marius has a lot of followers and a huge army. He provokes greed and hatred towards friends and blinds them to sympathy or any type of sincere feelings. Marius cares little for anyone but himself and enjoys other’s failures. He was granted his realm and title after his uncle died and his younger cousin died in a suspicious accident, leaving Marius the only heir.

(4th) Fagan Aherne 

Lord of the 4th, Fagan has similar traits to his daughters. He can cause you to see things that are not there. He has been married many times but is consistently losing his wives to other, stronger Lords. He is spineless and afraid of everything and everyone. Paranoia overwhelms him constantly. His realm could easily be defeated if not for his daughter Catriona handling his armies and befriending Amery Luvis, who helps protect her. Fagan’s daughters are Audra, Ria and Catriona, all with great powers of their own. Audra is the oldest but is rarely seen following a battle caused her to be severely scarred. Ria is the second oldest, the most promiscuous, and thought to be the most beautiful ever since Audra’s scarring. Ria enjoys attention and never thought much about her youngest sister until she became the focus for Nick’s new bride. Her jealousy forced her into an overwhelming insanity. She wanted Nick more than ever and to prove that he was supposed to be hers and only hers. Catriona is her father’s pride, but he would sell even her out to gain more power. Fagan finds Elijah detestable and prefers Cat to focus on Amery due to his powerful realm. He will never accept Eli unless he is made a Lord somehow.

(5th) Amery Luvis 

Lord of the 5th realm, Amery is somewhat cocky, but is best friends with Catriona despite her father’s disapproval. He killed Galena's mother and Savage's wife, but only after she, Belinda, buried his lover alive in cement. Amery’s love, Haile, was thought to be too beautiful and Belinda's jealousy heightened when Savage noticed her and was set to have her called to him. Amery believed Galena helped her mother kill Haile and that Savage supported the attack, so he has wanted to seek justice against them all. Amery, is very political and is about restoring order but is not to be completely trusted. He lies most of the time since he sees it as no one’s business what he is thinking. The only power he has was been granted by the High Council after his father died. He is the youngest on the Council besides Nick. His abilities match Savage’s, but he was not strong enough to defeat Savage or Nick. He could only defeat Galena if he could get close enough. With more knowledge about Galena, Amery began to have respect for her and sought to have her soul treated as a hero and not a devil. Amery has barely paid attention to any other woman since Haile’s death, but once Elijah took an interest in Catriona, Amery’s long time best friend, he has been awaken to seeing her as more than a friend. He holds a grudge against Nick for killing his assistant and loyal friend, Timber, but he hates Eli for desiring Catriona. Amery’s love for Cat only grows and his jealousy of Eli grows with it.

(6th) Galena Savage 

The temporary Lord of the 2nd realm, Galena’s timeless beauty is undeniable. She is strong in battle but she lacks the tactical skills to make her great. She has similar abilities to Savage and Nick but is nowhere near their level of strength. Galena survived only because her mother defied her husband and announced her birth to the High Council, forcing Savage to accept her as his own. If anything were to happen to Galena, his position would have come into question and invited an unwanted investigation. All Lords and their families are protected and any death must be investigated completely. Galena’s mother, Belinda, was never forgiven and Galena has suffered for her mother’s betrayal ever since. Savage takes all his frustrations out on her and has never seen her as an equal part of the family. Galena’s pregnancy with Lena was an even bigger disgrace, especially considering the father was what he believed to be nowhere near Savage’s standards. Galena was close to Dante and found his new lifestyle promising for her newborn daughter. Marius was never made aware of her and still has no idea he has a daughter. If he find out, he will use her to take claim to the Savage inheritance.

(6th) Gideon Stark 

Lord of the 6th and the most honorable Lord, Gideon is highly respected by the high Council and, because of it, rarely suffers attacks from others. He was once Savage’s most trusted friend, but the friendship was one sided. Savage used Gideon to get information and win favor with the High Council. Gideon’s brief departure from his realm was restored when Galena was killed and Nick took over at the Ninth, Nick and Amery recommended him back to his Lordship over the 6th realm. His respect for Kayla grew and Gideon now has a huge respect for the entire Jayzon family, considering them an everlasting ally.

(7th) Bastien Trog 

Bastien is only slightly younger than Savage. His powers aren’t as deadly at first, but he can cause your muscles to turn to rubber and have no control while he executes you mercilessly. He is never to be trusted and is just as greedy as Savage; he just doesn’t have the army or the power to battle him. He tries to stay out of the way, but consistently endures attacks by Rein – purely for Rein’s enjoyment. The attacks are only to keep Bastien weaker than Rein and never do any more than damage than necessary, just in case Rein needs Bastien to advance himself. Bastien has two wives: Twila is rarely faithful. She is headstrong and makes sex games enjoyable for Bastien and for all her lovers. Mirette, Bastien’s other wife, barely speaks, or even look up from her feet, but her loyalty to her husband wins her favor time and again.
