Many years later, Anthony was a physician during the Napoleonic wars, and was attacked by a nosferatu on the battlefield.

A master of deception, she led the damned to their deaths for a thousand years. In 1217, she defied Lucifer by saving the life of Hugh, a young knight, and was Punished with torture in the Pit of Hell. When she returned from Hell, she and Hugh -- now a Guardian -- spent eight hundred years battling each other physically and emotionally, until he Fell in 1991. Lilith joined the FBI as Lily Milton, using her position to cover up demonic activity, and established a close friendship with the vampire Colin Ames-Beaumont. Following the events of DEMON ANGEL in 2007, Lilith became the head of Special Investigations. She lives in San Francisco with Hugh Castleford and her hellhound, Sir Pup. She still loves to lie. Preferred weapons: Guns. And swords. Her tongue.

When he sacrifices himself to save the life of another, he becomes a Guardian, and is determined to save Lilith's soul. Gifted with the power of Truth, he is impervious to her lies and manipulations. He also becomes a mentor to many Guardian novices, and one of the Doyen's most trusted advisors. However, after eight hundred years, he loses his faith and Falls. Human again, Hugh becomes a professor of literature in a San Francisco university. His book, LILITH, recounting his life as a Guardian and relationship with the demon Lilith, is published by his adopted sister, Savi Murray, and is the basis for the DemonSlayer card and video games. When several of his students are killed in demonic rituals, Hugh becomes a suspect in the investigation. After DEMON ANGEL, Hugh Castleford becomes co-director of Special Investigations, and acts as mentor to novice Guardians. He lives in San Francisco with Lilith and Sir Pup.

Note: If Selah teleports with Colin Ames-Beaumont, she cannot control her destination; they will teleport to the Chaos realm, and as long as she is touching him, she cannot leave the realm. She cannot teleport to the Chaos realm without using Colin or the Doyen's Sword as an anchor. Preferred weapons: Her sword, and a crossbow.

However, the power of his bite -- though blissful for his victim -- also leaves his victims with no memory of him, and he still succumbs to the power of bloodlust. While visiting a friend in Switzerland in 1816, the vain Colin invoked a curse that erased his mirror reflection, replacing it with visions of Chaos. His tainted blood also serves as an anchor that realm. After the events of DEMON MOON, Colin lives in San Francisco with his partner, Savi Murray. He owns Ramsdell Pharmaceuticals and Polidori's nightclub, and is the head of the San Francisco vampire community. He and Savi act as ambassadors for the Guardians to other vampire communities. Preferred weapons: His ridiculously handsome face, and his swords.

After their deaths, she lived with her Indian grandmother (Nani, aka Auntie) and together, they adopted Hugh into their family. Unaware that everything in Hugh's book was real, Savi created a card game, and then a video game, based on LILITH. When she does discover the truth, she remains skeptical but curious -- and after a nosferatu attack on an airplane leaves her blood tainted with hellhound venom and nosferatu blood, Lilith recruits her into Special Investigations, where Savi uses her photographic memory, computer hacking skills, and her affinity for electronics to track demons and create new devices to assist vampires and Guardians in their fight against demons and nosferatu. After the events of DEMON MOON, Savi lives in San Francisco with her partner Colin, continues to work at Special Investigations and Polidori's, and has a weak anchor to Chaos. Preferred weapon: Her computer.
