 | Aswick of Tytalus (•1093 †1228) |
| An old man but still powerful and respected inside the Hibernian Tribunal, he has been a demon hunter until his body supported his actions. His point of view about the Ars fits that, traditionally, attributed to his House. Many are puzzled by how, several years ago, he decided to give up any chance to live a better future, and chose to jail himself on a souther isle of Ireland, out of the big centers of power. But, you know, Aswick is not that kind of man who acts without a profit. Since 1224 he has been ruling Cliffheart and, as Primus, he knows Cliffheart's secret. He dies in 1228, by natural death. He leaves his studies and the Heart's secret to Yolhe, also dedicating to her his last months of study and fatigue. | |
 | Eileen of Merinita - Eileen's personal pages |
| Her fairy nature and the search of an interior balance between her Blood and the Order make this maga's hermetic studies inconstant; her own character leads her to curative and illusory spells; the latter based on Mentem and Imaginem, useful to avoid fighting. Her behaviour often seems incoprehensible to the other Members of the Order and to her Sodales too, though mundanes are fascinated by her presence and her enchanting voice. | |
 | Gaia of Ex-Miscellanea (•1195 †1228) - Gaia and her custodes (italian) |
| Gaia of Ex-Miscellanea was a master in Auram. She dedicated her entire life to the Order and to fight werewolves, which had killed her beloved, faeris and demons, creatures particurlarly weird and bizzare. To reveal the nature of her House she spent her last years at her Pater's, Howling Hills. Back at Cliffheart she dies in misterious circumstances. Her fellow will remember her extreme reason and her... Her Sodales planted a huge tree in memory of her: a sweet melody comes out when wind blows through leaves. | |
| Yolhe of Tytalus - Yolhe's laboratory notes |
| Yolhe's physical ugliness, together with her unbearable way to look at people, provokes, in anyone who fixes her eyes, a deep aversion and hostility againt her. Yolhe, for this reason, repays the world with her often evil and destructive arts. She follows the hermetic elemental school. After her Pater Aswick of Tytalus died in the 1228, she has became new Cliffheart Primus. Luigi is her Custos. | |

He's a good man, thinking to be the linking ring among the present Magi and to be able to lead magic to the original and ancient magnificence.

 | Pathos (•11?? †1229) - Gaia and her custodes (italian) Carrying, evidently, blood of giants in his veins, Pathos looks ugly: his enormous body bears several scars and his face is covered with blindfolds, hiding the horrors of the battle where he lost his tongue too...With a wild strength, he's virtuous in using the battle axe but don't underestimate his sword. Even if he's a squire, he's enough intelligent to be able to write latin, even if a bad way, being able to communicate with his master. When he starts fighting, it's really hard to stop him. He has simple manners and loves animals. He manages the Cliffheart's stable. Preferred weapon: Battle axe |

Mark "cheek" Mark knows his job when he's working, he doesn't lack in skills and body, that permit him unusual efforts, but his passion for women, alcohol and gamble makes him an unreliable person.
