The Knights Of White

JAG
Hero in The Knights of White #1: The Beast Within
How old am I? I don’t remember. Too damn old. Eternity it seems sometimes. As leader of the Knights I’m supposed to keep them all alive. It can make a day of battle feel like a lifetime. Not that they kill easy. Still, behead them, and they die. I’ve lost a few Knights and that’s too many. (Pauses and looks down for an moment) Salvador claims I was saved to serve a greater purpose. That I have a pure soul and that’s why the Beasts wanted me.(Disgusted sound)Whatever. I say it’s compelete bullshit. I’m here to fight and I do it well. I should. It’s all I live for. No. (A muscle in his jaw jumps) It’s more than that. The Darklands stole my life. I don’t want them taking anybody elses. I want them stopped. No. I want their very existence terminated.

DES
Hero in The Knights of White #2: Beast of Desire
Ninety-nine years and 12 days. That’s how old I am. Well, unless you start counting from the day I became a Knight. Then I’m seventy plus 12 days. Unlike Jag, I don’t mind counting the days. This life doesn’t suck so much to me. We have it pretty good as far as I see it. We don’t get sick. We heal fast when injured in battle.(Smiles)The sex is damn good. Gotta love that primal instinct we have. (laughs and wiggles his brows) The women damn sure do. (Get’s serius) Besides..we matter. What we do matters. Nobody even missed me when I died. But now…now I have a purpose. And Jag needs me. The man is seriously f’d up. Somebody has to keep his head on straight. I mean, the man fights evil, and he names his horse Diablo. That is borderline sick. The horse should be called ‘Able’. As in, the only living creature ABLE to understand Jag. I try though. I really try. But a man has limits.

ROCK
The other Knights think I’m young and impulsive. Like 50 is young. (Shakes head). Not that I care. I mean, I do what I do. I kick Darkland ass. It’s why I’m here. Why the hell do we need to stand around and talk about it. Just kick ass and be done with it already. I hesitated once…It cost me everyone I loved. (Heavy sigh) Anyway, I won’t make that mistake again. I don’t give a damn how hard the guys pressure me. If I see trouble I’m gonna shut it down. If they don’t like, well, f* em’. (Shrug) You know?

RINEHART
Talk doesn’t save lives. Actions do. In some ways, I get Rock for that reason. Still, the boy needs to learn some discipline. In the military you learn to focus and then act. Rock…he charges into things without having his head screwed on straight. (Shoves his cowboy hat back with his index finger)Rock just wants vengence. We’ll I’ve got news for that boy. We all do. But vengenece can get your ass killed. Shit. I watched every damn one of my platoon get killed by the Darklands. They were the only family I had. But I don’t let it eat me up inside like Rock does. I let it simmer. Rock needs to learn that vengence is better served when nicely warmed over. That’s when it packs the biggest punch. That’s when it does the damage.

And then there is the one who leads the leader. The mentor to Jag…
SALVADOR
A direct descendant of Raphael, he has a hidden past and secrets held tightly concealed. He has a mission driven by the purpose these secrets have given him. He is both the creator and mentor of Jag and his Knights.

MAX
Hero in The Knights of White #3: Beast of Darkness
No one knows where he came from, where he trained, or how he became a Knight of White.

The Women

KAREN
Heroine in The Knights of White #1: The Beast Within
She was Caroline in a prior life and Jag’s wife. She was killed by the Darklands. She alone can guide Jag to accepting his destiny.

Karen lost her parents to a car accident, just as she lost friends to the drugs so popular near the Mexico border. She went off to college, leaving Brownsville behind and begging her kid sister Eva to follow. But there was no convincing Eva who had met a man who she ended up marrying. After college, Karen became a reporter for a travel magazine, seeing the world, looking for something she didn’t understand but needed. Something that pushed her to explore new places, to look for a way to fill a void that she felt deep inside.

EVA
Eva is Karen’s sister. She comes so close to conversion to Darkland that Karen barely saves her. In the end, Eva becomes the first female Knight.

Eva is the sister who plays it safe, growing up with plans for a white picket fence and kids. When her husband is killed by the Darkland Beasts as a way to lure Karen home, Eva’s world is turned upside down. Her entire world is about to change in ways she could never imagine possible.

MARISOL
She is the healer to the Knights of White, able to heal with angel magic. Her past is mysterious, her duty to serves the Knights under the direct supervision of Salvador. Pleasures of the physical are off limits to Marisol. No matter how much she desires, no matter how much she yearns, she cannot cave to human needs. It is part of the test, she is undergoing. A test only Salvador understands. A test born of a past life where she sought vengeance. A test she is determined to pass. There is only one problem…she has fallen in love with one of the Knights.

JESSICA
Heroine in The Knights of White #2: Beast of Desire
Her father is a senator, a self-made millionaire of humble beginnings. Her mother was an archeologist who died of cancer before she could find the treasure she sought, the magical box that holds a list of angelic bloodlines. Jessica is about to find out why that list was so important to her mother.

SARAH
Heroine in The Knights of White #3: Beast of Darkness
Dead People speak to Sarah as they did her mother and she often assists police with investigations. When she was 18 a demon possessed a close friend and killed her parents and she now feels she must live a life of solitude afraid of drawing evil to those around her.

LAURA
She has special gifts, the ability to manipulate objects with her mind and extreme intuitiveness. Her parents fear these gifts will make her a lab rat so she is taught from an early age to hide her talents. This drives her to a desperate need to fit in and she becomes a doctor and scientist, striving to find a way to cure people like herself. When she isolates the gene that creates special powers she garners government interest and just as her parents feared, there are those who want to misuse her work, and her talents.

Meet the Enemy…

The Darkland Beasts

He is evil beyond comprehension and seeks power at all cost.

BLACK DOG
He is the leader of the shape shifting Hell Hounds, a group of servants to Adrian gifted to him by Cain.

SEGUNDO
