Laskaris Family

The Laskaris Family is a Pureblood Vampire family in Mysteria. They are the "aristocrats" of Vampire society, and are the only beings who are keeping the vampire species alive because of the powerful witch who created them and their body and blood being "made from scratch" of her own blood. This family is made up of the "from scratch" vampires, Basilius and Ioana, and their daughter Amara, who is the first born Pureblood-Witch Hybrid.

Basilius
"' If you are wondering if I regret consulting Thalia of my desire to continue my line, I did. I could not bear the thought of her using you to gain more power. But she created me, I did not fully realise her true intentions because I was made to obey her.'"-- Basilius to Amara in

Basilius is the husband of Ioana and father Amara Clarke. In technical terms, he is the son of Thalia, since she created him and Ioana by her blood and magic. He is the patriarch of the family and the secret leader of The Regime. He is the kind of man to do whatever is best for his wife and daughter. While the Vampire Society sees Nikolai and Natalia as the leaders of The Regime, Basilius is the first to be consulted about the status of their species and finalise decisions that the Council has drafted.

Since the day of his creation, Basilius has been loyal to his "mother" Thalia. She did not need to teach him why he must obey and follow, since he already felt admiration for her because he was created.

Ioana
"' I wanted a child. To share my secrets to and to teach someone a life that I wasn't taught. But I knew that if I had you, I would have never kept you. Thalia had sick purposes for you, and I hated her.'"-- Ioana to Amara in

Ioana is the wife of Basilius and mother to Amara. Just like Basilius, she is "biologically" the daughter of Thalia. She is the Matriarch of The Regime, though her position has been kept secret since the establishment. She too is consulted about matters of the Vampire Society, but only on matters regarding laws. The very first laws were made by her to protect the vampires from exposure to werewolves. She is very protective over the people she loves and the species she leads. She is like the "mother of vampires".

Unlike her husband, Ioana was not as loving towards Thalia since her creation. Of course she felt grateful for giving life to her, but they way she treated her and Basilius was not parently. She described the relationship as "being slaves for her," doing her dirty work while she was dealing with Céleste and her werewolves.

Amara
"'I woke up feeling...different. There was a burning aching feeling in my throat that resonated throughout my body. It was painful, and it all came into a peak when I smelled the scent of Luna and the burning became fire. I suddenly had fangs in my mouth ad charged at her, taking in the taste of her blood. It was addicting...but Luna was not enjoying herself.'"-- Amara to Ioana in

Amara is the daughter of Basilius and Ioana, and the first "true" Pureblood Vampire. She is unique in every way, being a Hybrid from the two heritages of Purebloods and Witches. While she was born on September 21, 1999, she was conceived and developing in the summer of the 31st Century BC. After being announced that the Pureblood princess was alive and well, she became an instant interest by many witches and vampires. Her blood was special to the witches, as it was the purest form of vampirism and could power spells and rituals that required great strength. Nikolai and Natalia were determined to capture her to drink and use her blood to enhance their "basic" vampire skills into Pureblood status to finally overthrow the Laskaris Family from its reign and keep them hidden forever and expand the vampire species without laws. They also wanted to use her blood to convert werewolves into hybrids to fight the witches and werewolves from ending their existence.

Since birth, Amara was unaware of her true identity. Even when she knew about the history of the supernatural world, she didn't expect herself to be the center of society. Her surrogate mother, Anna Clarke, was a witch, meaning Amara picked up her heritage. She practised Witchcraft reguarly with her childhood best friend Luna Nightenburg and
