The Coven is a cabal of Russian vampires who engage in intrigue and organized crime in a bid to gain secret domination over the human race. They are led by an ancient vampire master known only as the "True Tsar", who seemingly pledged the Coven's allegiance to the Shadow Lord Gargos. They are rumored to have Wendigos as their guardians and servants.
History[]
The Coven was formed hundreds of years ago by vampires, for vampires. They have long had a deadly rivalry with the Night Guard, whose members hunted them down mercilessly.
At one point in the 21st century, the Coven lured the two Night Guard warriors and twin sisters, Maya and Mira, to the Ural Mountains of Siberia in order to ambush them. Mira attempted to dispose of the explosive trap to save her sister, but she was buried in the rubble and presumed to have died in the incident. Alive but on the brink of death, the vampires found Mira and brought her before their Tsar, who infused her with his dark elixir and bound her to him-body and soul. After an agonizing few days Mira's transformation from a human woman to an undead vampire was complete, and she returned as a dangerous new member of the Coven; becoming the True Tsar's favored lieutenant.
During a mission to retrieve an artifact from the von Sabrewulf family's seemingly abandoned manor for the Coven, Mira became entangled in a battle between Konrad von Sabrewulf, Aganos, and Thunder. She managed to escape the chaos with the artifact, thanks to the intervention of Porfiry and a pack of wendigoes.
