Another of the
original Dark-Hunters, Velkan used
to have a brother Gregori who was in
the series, but I decided long ago
that Gregori wasn't necessary and
dropped him. Velkan and his bride,
Retta, however remain.
One neat tidbit, my best friend's
grandmother was born in the
Carpathian mountains and immigrated
to America just prior to WWI because
a soothsayer warned that their
village would be wiped out by a
great power and it was decimated
during the war. |

Velkan
(Falcon)
| Velkan was the illegitimate son of a Hungarian princess and a
Moldavian prince who like the infamous Vlad Dracul was a member of the
Order of the Dragon. Velkan grew up at his father's side, fighting
invaders. |
His brothers were captured and
enslaved by their enemies when he was thirteen and it was rumored
that Velkan (who was believed to be a sorcerer) had been taken too,
but rather than be turned into a slave, he sold his soul to the
devil for freedom. He vowed that no one would ever enslave or tame
him. At age 15, he fought and freed his one brother who still lived.
At 26, he captured a band of
invaders who had attacked and ransacked a group of nuns on their way
to Trigoviste. There in their
midst, he found a novice they had captured who they had intended to
rape and kill. She was from Wallachia and was none other than the
daughter of Vlad Dracul, one of his father's most hated enemies and
rivals.
Before Velkan could hand her over
to his father, he fell in love with her and the two were married in
secret. They vowed their love would last forever. Unfortunately,
forever takes on a whole new meaning in the Dark-Hunter world.
Through an act of betrayal, he
and his wife, Esperetta are now bound together as Dark-Hunters, in
more ways than one and they absolutely hate each other.
