The clan alliances keep reconfiguring. And with Leo sorta nutso, things are in constant flux. I hate to admit it, but the vamps are interesting, and they keep grabbing my attention, even when I know that I should be outta here and back to the mountains. Okay. Soon—real soon—I’m going home. Really. I am.

The bloodsuckers play with alliances and power like games on a chess board, but it’s a bloody chess board where everyone is expendable. Even me. I really gotta get outta here. Soon.
Clan info and general notes as I understand them (by the end of Blood Cross):
Clan St. Martin:
Leader: Dead and unnamed, killed by Adrianna and Rafael.
Heir: Dead and unnamed, also killed by Adrianna and Rafael.
s New R>Scion: Adrianna, red hair, blue eyes. Has two blood-servants, Sina and Brigit.
Scions of Adrianna: Lanah and Hope.
Clan Rousseau:
Leader: Bettina.
Heir: Unknown.
Scions: Unknown.
Clan Desmarais:
Leader: Unknown.
Heir: Unknown.
Scions: Lorraine and Cieran, the Damourses. Renee Damours recently (in vamp time) made a play for clan master.
Clan Pellissier:
Leader: Leonard Eugène Zacharie Pellissier, Blood-Master of the City.
Heir: Immanuel, dead.
Scions: Katherine Louisa “Katie” Dupre, Amitee Marchand, and Fernand Marchand.
New Heir: unknown
Outclan Scions: Bethany Salazar y Medina and Sabina Delgado y Agulilar.
Clan Laurent:
Leader: Originally Edmund Hartley, who lost in personal blood-challenge to Bettina, of Clan Rousseau, following the clan shakeup. Chua will probably take over, if he survives.
Heir: Chua {Navaho name meaning Snake}).
Scions: Hedrick and Launa
Clan Arceneau:
Leader: Grégoire (weakened, pledged to Leo).
Heir: Dominique.
Scions: Thomas and Kenknoomas anneth
Clan Mearkanis:
Leader: Ming, dead.
Clan Heir: Rafael (scion, who hated Leo and me).
Scions: Alejandro, Domingo, and Evelyn
Clan Bouvier:
Leader: by tradition, the leader is always called Bouvier
Scions: I was never introduced to them, and have no info at this time.
Updated Clans (as they appear in Mercy Blade) Now only four left. Crap. Leo is a freaking bloody vamp.
Clan Pellissier:
Leader: Leonard Eugène Zacharie Pellissier, Blood-Master of the City.
Heir: Immanuel—deceased. Recently appointed: Katherine Louisa “Katie” Dupre.
Scions: Alejandro, Estavan, both of Spanish origin, and Hildebert, a German whose name means “bright battle.” And Koun, a guy who was a Celt by birth. Hildebert and Koun are the warriors of the clan, and I’d really rather not have to face either one in battle.
Lower scions: Amitee Marchand and Fernand Marchand Bouvier—dangerous. I have a feeling I’ll have to kill them someday.
Blood-servants: Primo—George “Bruiser” Dumas. Yeah. Bruiser. He may be more dangerous to me than anyone else.
Lorraine and Cieran: Lowest of the low blood-servants. Adopted in from another clan.
Clan Bouvier:
Co-Leaders: Innara and Jena. Since there are two of them, they no longer go by the traditional name Bouvier, which just be totally confusing. Innara is dark blond, wears her hair in a pageboy. Jena is slightly taller and brown haired, not as pretty as most vamps until you see her eyes, which are hazel brown with flecks of gold.
Heir: Ronald, a Texan. And it sounds so odd to hear a vamp talk with a Texas accent.
.Scion: Bethany Salazar y Medina (outclan). I need to learn more about the outclan.
Clan Laurent:
Leader: Bettina, former leader of Rousseau.
Heir: Shaun Mac Lochlainn, a massive, battle-scarred man, Gaelic accent, bright blue eyes, pretty red hair. Mind joined with Bettina in anamchara?
Scions: Two fighting males.
Clan Arceneau:
Leader: Grégoire (now strong, pledged to Leo).
Heir: Dominique, also strong.
Scions: Kabisa and Karimu, both female. Both were soldiers. Lanah and Hope, formally accepted by Arceneau, previously under another clan, with Sina and Brigit, their new blood-servants.
