As if she had killed the best part of herself.
She walked slowly up to the avenue to catch a cab. She was moving back to Riverside Drive. She would not return to that town house on Fifth Avenue ever again.
FAMILY RECORDS:
LLEWELLYN
Due to the sensitive information contained in this file, most of it speculative in nature, this record is classified CONCLAVE
LEVEL ONLY.
The Llewellyn family has risen to become one of the wealthiest and most powerful in the Coven. They amassed a great fortune by their monopoly of the New York and New
Jersey seaports. A branch of the family moved to Houston during the oil boom during the late nineteenth century, and the majority of the family has been based there since.

It is the Repository’s belief that Bliss Llewellyn is Gabrielle’s first trueborn daughter, born from a union with Lucifer in {DATE
REDACTED}. Bliss was believed to have been destroyed by the Regis upon her birth in {DATE REDACTED}. The
Repository is still piecing together its information, which has not yet been verified, but it appears that the child survived through a betrayal by {NAME REDACTED—FL}. We are also tentatively able to conclude, given the information gleaned from various sources, that for centuries Allegra never had any knowledge of her child’s existence.
The House of Records lists Bliss Llewellyn as carrying the spirit of the angel Yura, an angel of the Light. Yet a crossreference on the history of the angel Yura revealed that Yura also appears on the List of the Finished, for whom reincarnation is no longer possible.
It is the Venators’ belief that Forsyth Llewellyn, recently revealed to be yet another traitor Silver Blood on the conclave, has consistently used his elevated status to tamper with the birth record of Allegra’s firstborn daughter, allowing him to call up her spirit in every incarnation and foster her in his home while keeping her true identity a secret. However, commendable work by our Repository scribes have brought forward the original birth record for Bliss Llewellyn for this cycle which was signed by then-Regent Nan Cutler. In this record, it lists her spirit as Azazel, angel of the dark, which we are now assuming is Bliss’s the true name and one that was given to her by her father, the Morningstar.
Bliss grew up in Houston, Texas, and arrived at Duchesne her sophomore year. Texas Committee regional reports indicate that Bliss had a fierce and fearless personality, and was famous as the only cheerleader in the state who could execute a tumbling leap off the top of a fifty-person pyramid.
She moved to New York when her father won the vacant senate seat, along with her stepmother and her younger half sister. It is the Venator’s belief that BobiAnne Llewellyn was Bliss’s birth mother in this cycle, a fact that was kept from Bliss for reasons that are still unverified.
A few months after moving to the city, Bliss was discovered during a Farnsworth scouting session at the school, and soon launched a very successful modeling career. Until recently, she was the face of several jeans campaigns, and her photographs were splashed across the billboards of Times Square and
SoHo. Duchesne intern reports state that Bliss’s early friendship with Mimi Force has since cooled and that she gravitated toward a friendship with Schuyler Van Alen, Oliver
Hazard-Perry, and Dylan Ward.
Her rocky and ultimately tragic romance with Dylan Ward began with a chance meeting in an alley behind several nightclubs. He was her date to the fall Informals, and our sources suggest that she had planned to make him her human familiar (not knowing he was also a Blue Blood), until he disappeared after Aggie Carondolet’s death. (See Dylan Ward file for more information.)
From the late Warden Dupont’s files, we found a note to
Lawrence Van Alen that was never delivered:
Maggie Stanford was a sixteen-year-old Blue Blood who disappeared from the home of Admiral and Mrs.
Thomas Vanderbilt during the 1870 Patrician Ball; foul play was suspected. Miss Stanford was the daughter of Mrs. and Mr. Tiberius Stanford of
Newport, Rhode Island, the founder of Stanford Oil.
Maggie was engaged at the time of her disappearance to Alfred, Lord Burlington, Earl of
Devonshire.
Maggie was a patient at St. Dymphna Asylum, in
Newport, for suicidal tendencies, delusions, and nightmares. The Red Blood doctors thought she was schizophrenic, but it is my belief that her symptoms were a sign of Corruption. Maggie tried to kill herself by drowning, but failed.
Lawrence: I think this is the clue. I think Maggie was Allegra’s missing girl—Please come see me as soon as you are able to come to the Repository.
The Committee notes that this document was dated the day of the Silver Blood attack that killed Warden Dupont.
