Blood Regent of Harbingers of Blood

“The Hand of Despair, the Blade of Devotion.”

“The serpent has two hands—one that offers, and one that strikes.
Both are holy, for both preserve the truth.”
— Book of the Blood-Wrought, III:12

Morrigan Alastor is the Blood Regent of the Harbingers of Blood, Sovereign of Arcem Serpentis, and Grand Master Knight of the Knights of the Shielded Blood within the Source’s Realm. She is the enforcer of the bloodline’s vision and the living blade that defends the law of their bloodline. Pale as moonlight and crowned in white hair streaked with black, she moves with the grace of a monarch and the precision of a predator. Her eyes are cold storms of silver and shadow; her voice carries the weight of centuries and the mercy of none.

“The blade remembers what the heart has forgotten,
and in its silence the truth of the serpent is made known.”
— Book of the Blood-Wrought, I:6

Once a stowaway aboard Zoe’s ship, Morrigan’s audacity caught the Arch’s attention. Their meeting ignited an eternal bond sealed in blood and power. Since her Embrace, she has ruled beside Zoe through conquest, trial, and revelation, their bond unbroken across the ages. Together they are revered as the Mothers of Monsters—rulers, lovers, and equals, bound not by hierarchy but by devotion.

Within the Source’s Realm, Morrigan stands as Grand Master Knight of the Knights of the Shielded Blood, a neutral order sworn to defend the realm against tyranny and corruption. She commands the Hounds of Alastor within the bloodline, an elite warband trained in the arts of combat and subterfuge, and serves as Executioner within the Progeny Legal System. As Regent, she bears the shard of the Mantle of Power entrusted to her by Zoe, ensuring the bloodline’s strength in the Arch’s absence.

“By the covenant of flame, the loyal are tested.
Those who endure the fire are remade as the will of Sutekh.”
— Book of Ash and Judgement, II:4

Morrigan is discipline made flesh—a creature of law and consequence whose affection is expressed through guardianship rather than words. She values precision, strength, and the silence between commands. Where Zoe embodies vision and law, Morrigan embodies will and enforcement. Her presence demands obedience; her rare smile, salvation.

Her attire is as deliberate as her demeanor: black and white leathers bound in steel, corseted and commanding, reflecting both dominion and seduction. She is alluring, dangerous, and absolute; forged of both blade and spirit

“The fire consumes the unworthy,
but to the devoted it becomes light.”
— Book of Ash and Judgement, 3:11

Morrigan’s mastery of weapon and will are legendary. She wields both steel and Serpentis with elegance rather than brutality, her Protean instincts honed by centuries of warfare. Those who underestimate her seldom live long enough to repeat the mistake. To her, loyalty is sacred, and mercy a privilege of the strong.

“Let the devout stand unburned within the trial,
for the serpent guards those who endure.”
— Book of Ash and Judgement, I:9

She teaches that despair, properly channeled, becomes devotion—and through devotion, revelation. Her sermons to the Hounds echo with the creed: “In blood we find truth; in obedience, purpose.” She continues to sail the world, bringing Zoe the finest fae blood to sustain her hunger and vision. She is the Hand of Despair, the living blade of the Arch, the mistress of the Hounds and keeper of discipline—the other half of the serpent’s soul.

Personality

Morrigan is a woman of stillness and storm — her silence carries the weight of judgment, her gaze the promise of consequence. She is severe yet not cruel, patient yet unrelenting. Those who stand beside her find protection beyond measure; those who stand against her find the cold edge of revelation. To love her is to bleed for purpose, and to follow her is to walk through fire without fear.

Creed

“I am the blade that parts illusion from truth.
I am despair, made loyal.”

“Despair is the womb of devotion.
Through the breaking comes the becoming.
Those who bow to truth are made whole by the flame.”
— Book of the Blood-Wrought, 2:3

“In blood we find truth; in obedience, purpose.
In the discipline of the serpent, we become eternal.”
— Book of Ash and Judgement, 4:7
