Klaus von Reinherz is a passionate man. His goal in life is to keep the world safe from the dangers within Hellsalem’s Lot. From drugs from the Beyond that could keep a man alive without his head; to immortal and bloodthirsty Blood Breeds, Klaus faces these challenges with a cool-head, unbreakable determination and resolve. Of course, he doesn’t face these challenges alone. Klaus is the founder and leader of the secret society, Libra. An organization that has taken up responsibility in dealing with the supernatural. The organization is broad with its members and its members’ talents. Klaus works with his own team on the regular basis. Other members of Libra call his closest members his Valkyries.
Klaus von Reinherz was raised as a noble gentleman. He came from a very wealthy family who could afford combat-trained butlers, such as Gilbert F. Alstein, who serves Klaus. He was a seven-foot-tall tower of a man of 28-years. He had broad shoulders and arms and legs as thick as an oak tree. His underbite is his outstanding feature, large fangs protruding out of his lower lip. When he smiled, he had made people faint in terror and children cry. This has caused him to keep a straight, firm face at times. Even that strategy has made his face much more frightening. Fortunately, he had his team who had grown slightly accustomed to their leader’s outer appearance and saw the truly good man within. Almost most of his Valkyries are in love with him at some level.
Stephanie Aliana Starphase is Klaus’ right-hand, second-in-command of Libra. Stephanie is an older woman in her early 30’s. Like Klaus, she is a Blood user with the ability through her blood to form ice-base attacks through her feet. A “Cool Beauty” is her best description that others have given her, may they be friend or enemy. She was a stunning woman, slightly taller than the average woman. Her hair was long and semi-curly, usually tightly wound in a bun during office hours at her desk. While during and after an intense battle, her hair would come a loose giving her a sultry look. Not even the jagged scar that ran down her high Latina cheekbones detracted from her beauty. Mostly seen in fine-tailored jackets, shirt, tie and alternates between pants suit or a variety of skirts. Mostly skirts. Skirts that could be unbuttoned or zipped up to her hip to allow room for her to use her legs. An impressive feat to fight in specially-made custom weaponized heels!
Stephanie has always been at Klaus’ side even before Libra was established. Several rumors had gone out of how the two met. Some say they were childhood friends. A few had suspected that they were lovers in secret. Only Stephanie and Klaus knew the truth of their history. Some were too scared or felt that it wasn’t their place to ask Klaus directly. Some ladies of Libra had asked Stephanie in how she met Klaus, but the woman would smile her secretive smile in reply and said nothing. Stephanie was in love with Klaus. The young man was the pure light of her dark shadow. He had absolute faith and trust in her to do what needed to be done. She appreciated that trust. No one has ever allowed themselves to trust her so deeply. When Klaus acknowledged her work and devotion, Stephanie’s heart fluttered, and her knees would nearly buckle.
Yasmin “Zazz” Renfro is a very bold woman. The way the woman swore would make a hardcore marine blush when she loses her temper, and it’s a very short fuse. Zazz is very self-indulgent in the pleasures of the flesh. She had a different lover every other day, whether they be human or Beyondian. It was easy for her to attract a man, with her lovely dark skin that contrasted greatly with her short white hair. Her hair curtained over her blue-gray eyes making them pop. Other un-lady-like habits were her taste for cigars, drinking, and gambling. From her outer appearance and her habits, many would question her place in Libra. But she was trained by a well-renown fang hunter, Raju Jugei Shizuyoshi, who had taught her the Big Dipper blood-fighting style. She is very proficient with her techniques, one of them being able to form a solid sword with her blood and her ability to summon fire. Zazz found Klaus to be a desirable specimen of a man. She had made crude jokes and flirted with him not hiding her true intentions. Most jokes went over Klaus’ head but her flirting in her speech and mannerism flustered Klaus to a stuttering mess, more-so when she got handsy. Klaus was a challenge to Zazz. Zazz desired so badly to…well, to put it plainly…get in the man’s pants and rock his world. Ever the gentleman, Klaus politely turns down her offers for casual intimacy and skillfully dodges, grabs or blocks her grabby-hands.
Only known within Libra’s inner circle, Zazz was shockingly a mother! It was Klaus himself who had made this discovery first. Zazz was incredibly injured during Libra’s early days. She was quite young at the time. When she had gotten hurt she had managed to get Klaus’ attention and given instructions to her apartment. She had never told anyone where she lived. Klaus did as he was told and when he knocked on the apartment door he was greeted by a smaller version of Zazz. Her name was Valerie, Zazz’s daughter! Zazz loves her daughter very much. Zazz keeps her family life and her life of pleasure separately. She has made it a rule to never, ever bring strange men to her home. She splits her paycheck, most going into the care of her daughter. It didn’t take long for Klaus to earn Valerie’s trust. Valerie was an adventurous and curious young girl. When Zazz recovered Klaus had a firm talk with her with an increase in pay, a better apartment, a proper sitter and enrolling Valerie into school! It was perhaps then, that Zazz herself fell for Klaus. Her daughter liked him, and he showed that he genuinely cared for Zazz and her daughter’s well-being. Zazz slightly matured. Slightly. She continues to pursue other men…but her body and her heart long for Klaus.
K.K. is a fierce yet beautiful woman. Known to wear a red long trench coat over a revealing cropped shirt and shorts, thigh-high heeled boots and an eye patch over her right eye. Another Blood user like Klaus and Stephanie; her blood activates her ability to use electricity, surrounding or delivered by bullets. K.K. is a sniper and gunwoman. She’s also a loving wife and mother to two young sons. K.K. is very fond of Klaus. Klaus or Klausie (her affectionate nickname for him) has been adopted by K.K. as her little brother. She is very protective of him. K.K. doesn’t trust Stephanie. Doesn’t like how close she and Klaus are and might be possibly jealous how this woman came seemingly from the shadows to “keep her Klausie to herself”. K.K. has refused to friendly with Stephanie when she tries to make nice with her. K.K. doesn’t hide her dislike. It is often said that K.K. gets a bad vibe from Stephanie, that the woman was sneaky, hiding something. K.K. didn’t approve of Zazz either. It was amusing at first when Zazz and Klaus met for the first time. But after the first couple of times, it got old and K.K. would rather Klaus have a meaningful relationship. But, K.K. supports Zazz wholeheartedly as one mother to another.
Chain Sumeragi has a tiny, teeny, weeny crush on Klaus. Just a small one. She believed it would pass. Chain is a member of the Werewolf Bureau. Through them, she met Klaus and did a few assignments for the Vatican together. Klaus was a great nice guy. But a total dork. Which made him adorable. Klaus was very different from most men. He was nice and classy. Chain was comfortable with their close but far relationship. Until she met Stephanie. Stephanie was an impressive woman to Chain. There was something cool (no pun intended) and mysterious about her that Chain admired. It didn’t surprise her that Stephanie was closer to Klaus. She was perfect for him. Stephanie was powerful and seeing her work in perfect unison either in the office or on the battlefield, Chain though they were the perfect couple. Zazz had no business near Klaus! Klaus was too good for that slutty, dirty, silver-haired monkey hag! She had no right to put those nasty paws on his shoulders, his chest and at one time she had managed to pinch his rear! As adorably red he had turn and that incredible squeak that came out of him that had Chain giggling hours later…Zazz had no right! And that tramp had the gall to call out Chain’s love for Klaus! She certainly wasn’t jealous of Zazz! No, absolutely not! She was not jealous that Zazz was braver than her to touch Klaus! Not jealous that Zazz would speak wicked fantasies to Klaus (some of those fantasies almost…nearly…were like Chain’s). Chain was certainly not envious of Zazz’s crazy schemes to play the damsel-in-distress and beg Klaus to save her and tuck her into his large arms and fuss over her. Nope! No way! Not at all! Zazz didn’t deserve Klaus. Klaus needed a woman to match him. Someone like Stephanie. As soon as her favorite big sister (in her heart and mind) got together with Klaus, Chain would be happy and her teeny, weeny, tiny crush on Klaus would finally go away.
Mr. Klaus was Leona Watch’s light. The gentleman of Libra didn’t see her as the coward that she had described herself to be. In his eyes, he saw a young lady who continued to strive for the light through the darkness. That despite her fears she continued to walk forward and that made one have an unshakeable spirit! Those words touched her and when he had welcomed her to Libra as herself and not under the assumed name she had taken, she had fallen in love. Of course, one didn’t need the Eyes of the All-Seeing Gods to see that she had competition.
Zazz, her senior, flirted shamefully with the poor man. Every time Leona walked through the doors of Libra for the first time of the day, she catches Zazz trying to crawl into Mr. Klaus’ arms or lap. The poor man would gently hold her away and protest with a blush. Or, if it was a sexy sneak attack (which she would pounce on him to grope him), in a panic Mr. Klaus would catch Zazz at the last second and throw her! Of course, keeping in mind that she was a lady (no matter how raunchy) would make sure she landed on something soft…which would be the couch or seated upside down in a chair. Or sometimes, he would put her in a hold against his body. Zazz instantly picked up in less than a day later that Leona was crushing on Mr. Klaus. Zazz would tease her ruthlessly but it would lead to them gushing over his figure together. Leona did pick up from Zazz that through her naughty flirtations and dirty purrs that she really, really cared for Mr. Klaus…though it was dangerous to his health. Like the time Zazz lured Mr. Klaus to an underground fight club to save her…again.
Then there was Ms. Stephanie. Like Chain, Leona could see that they would make a powerful couple. Ms. Stephanie was beautiful, intelligent and poised (when she had her daily coffee and wasn’t pulling all-nighters). Leona had assumed with a breaking heart that Mr. Klaus and Ms. Stephanie were together. But Zazz told her that they weren’t. Mr. Klaus was oblivious to Ms. Stephanie’s feelings and K.K. wouldn’t allow it! Leona was shocked! She did see it for herself when Mr. Klaus had made a lengthy comment of gratitude to Ms. Stephanie. Ms. Stephanie waved his comment off and excused herself to the kitchen for another cup of coffee. Leona followed minutes later into the kitchen for a drink and caught Ms. Stephanie blushing like crazy and speaking in Spanish. From what Leona could make out, it was something about Mr. Klaus…“ love”…“stupid”…“heart”…“stupid”…“ my god”…“torture”…she continued to ramble and giggle to herself like she was a teenager again!
Chain was the biggest shock! Chain seemed so unattached to everyone. But she did show that she cared in her own way. She hated Zazz. It was one of Zazz and Chain’s fights that got a little out of hand that grew from verbal to physical. As Zazz and Chain screamed into each other’s faces (they were in the office alone) Zazz revealed Chain’s crush on Mr. Klaus. Chain denied it aggressively…with a slap to Zazz’s face. Leona didn’t have time to respond to the revelation when Zazz double slapped Chain and a cat fight of epic proportions broke out. The fight didn’t end until Leona had to use her Plain Eyeball technique (after a couch was thrown out the window and two of Mr. Klaus’ precious potted plants were destroyed). Both women felt guilty and bought Mr. Klaus another plant in apology.
K.K. liked Leona. She was a sweetheart and Klaus seemed rather fond of her as well. Klaus needs a good woman in his life and Leona was the best thing to walk through the doors of Libra. She wasn’t sneaky like Stephanie! Leona wore her heart on her sleeve and cried easily when she was upset or moved. She was much more affectionate than Chain. Yes, K.K. was aware of Chain’s affections. Chain didn’t act on them because she was letting Stephanie have her way. Another reason to dislike that cold-hearted woman, Stephanie! Leona wasn’t nasty like Zazz. As amusing to see the fellow-mother flirt with Klaus, she came on a bit too strong. Leona was sassy in her own way. It was rare but even Leona had sassed Klaus or scolded him for doing something silly. Leona wasn’t completely blinded by her admiration of the man. K.K. helped Leona out; telling her about Klaus’s favorite food and his interests. K.K. even helped to give Leona and Klaus alone time. Which was very hard with several women vying for his attention and between the hectic life of living in Hellsalem’s Lot.
The final Valkyrie was someone unusual. Zeta O’Brien was a beautifully strange non-huma. She was a bipedal merwoman. Another pupil under Zazz’s master, Master Raju, trained in the Big Dipper blood style fighting technique to control the wind. Zeta and Zazz started off on the wrong foot. True to Zazz, she made fun of Zeta’s appearance. Laughed at her skin and her body. Never had Zeta felt so insulted! It hurt a little. She had never been made fun of. Master Raju never gave any comment about her appearance, other than she wasn’t an huma. The count that had raised her taught her many things, even art and what made art beautiful. The count had stared at her at times and told her she was lovely. She didn’t quite understand him but took it positively. Learning that she would be left with Libra was a shock. Master Raju gave no warning, just abandoned her amongst strangers! But they had been kind and accommodating. Their leader, Mr. Klaus, was quick to have a large tank for her comfort and was very kind to share his space with his great greenroom. Mr. Klaus was a good male huma.
Zeta quietly observed her new acquaintances while pretending to read sometimes. She noticed quickly the female humas’ behavior when around Klaus. It was so painfully obvious that all but K.K. (who had a mate and offspring) were attracted to Mr. Klaus. From her own observations, Mr. Klaus was much taller than most male huma. He was obviously strong, and she had witnessed his display of strength often. Zeta admitted to herself that he was impressive in that aspect. Breath-taking indeed. Mr. Klaus was very intelligent. While he made his rounds in his greenroom and if Zeta was in her tank, they would talk about anything that came to mind. It was like talking to the former count. They talked about art, music, philosophy, and he was kind enough to answer questions about the huma-lifestyle. He was pleasant to be around.
Zeta had never in her life contemplated falling in love. It was a foreign concept. She only asked about love from Leona, someone who was single and K.K. who was mated or married. Leona explained shyly that love is wanting to be close to someone who makes you feel good about yourself. K.K. gushed about her loving husband. K.K.’s explanation was the joy of someone just being there for you. Someone who you could throw yourself into their arms and feel safe and loved every day. To enjoy your lives together through good and the bad and be able to survive together. Someone willing to create new life to love and raise.
New life. That struck a chord with Zeta sharply. She was fascinated with offspring. So small and innocent, full of life! Like Leona, she was shocked when she learned that her senior had her own offspring. Valerie was an adorable treasure and the transformation of Zazz from a vulgar and sex-crazed woman to a gentle and loving mother made Zeta realized how powerful loving a child and being loved by that child was. Curious, she asked Mr. Klaus if he wanted children. He smiled (and it didn’t startle her!) and admitted he loved children, though when children see his face they were terrified of him. He hoped that his own children wouldn’t be afraid of him. From what Zeta observed from life and from television, most male huma seemed apprehensive with the subject at children or sharing a life indefinitely with someone. Only a small handful seem to look forward to having children. Zeta’s biological clock had punched in and Zeta, being a non-huma and partly animal, her instincts were inspired, and she felt the desire to mate most strongly…and who would make the perfect mate?
There was an encounter with a blood breed at an aquarium. Mr. Klaus, Leona, and Zeta were the closest to the area to respond. Before the blood breed was sealed away, it had managed to strike Zeta’s breathing apparatus! Zeta struggled to breathe and was brought to her knees as she began to black-out. Zeta felt herself being lifted off the ground and then she was surrounded by water. After her gills were filled with water, her eyes regained focus. Looking up she found herself in Mr. Klaus’ arms. He was soaked for he had jumped into a tidal pool habitat. Mr. Klaus’ body heat contrasted so greatly against the cool water. Zeta wanted to absorb that warmth, have it curl up inside her. She understood a little why Zazz played the damsel-in-distress right then. Mr. Klaus! Since then, her instincts collided with her emotions! Now, when she was alone with Mr. Klaus, mostly during missions, she felt nervous and did her best to keep her hands to herself. Mr. Klaus didn’t seem like to be touched so intimately so sudden! Zazz proved that.
Gilbert thought his young master was the luckiest yet the most oblivious young man in the world. The butler of Libra had seen it all and knew all. He knew every young ladies’ love for his charge. They loved Young Master Klaus in their own special ways.
Young Miss Leona was experiencing her first love.
Miss Stephanie had longed for his master for so long it was almost as painful as frostbite.
Miss Chain was in denial. Her love may be small, but it was love nonetheless.
Miss Zazz though crude with her methods, longed for a good man in her and her daughter’s life.
Miss Zeta was also going through first love that was boosted by her animalistic instincts.
Gilbert was doing a bit of dusting and with a discreet glance over his shouldered, he watched as the ladies in love watched Klaus pick up his delicate cup of tea and drink soundlessly.
Leona had been fiddling with her camera. Now she was looking up slightly, her blue eyes gleaming through the tiny crack between her lashes as she takes every minute detail of his form.
Stephanie looked up from her computer and reached for her coffee mug. Only, she was drinking to eye Klaus as well.
Zeta liked to read and walk at the same time. She had paused in her step and peeked over the book.
Finally, Zazz, who were spread out over the second couch, lifted herself on her shoulders and hummed. Practically near a purr.
Chain had arrived earlier and was possibly in her favorite vantage point to observe everything (Klaus) while invisible.
Gilbert hopes that this matter would be resolve someday soon. He just couldn’t predict how it would end. It’s not like Klaus could marry them all. Although, the butler smiled to himself at a thought. K.K. had mentioned that the (wealthy) Chinese practice polygamy and it seems to work out well.
The Young Master could afford them all and anything goes in Hellsalem’s Lot!
