Jordanna Deveraux Priscus



 

Attractive but not beautiful is how most describe the tiny red-headed Jordanna Deveraux. Jordan, as she prefers to be called, is an unusual and controversial addition to the Priscus Clan.  Faced with the decision of throwing away her life in seeking Canio Di Nerezza's destruction, or joining the ranks of the undead to ensure it, she sought out Marie and arranged a bargain of sorts - her life for the protection of her youngest sister Leigh.  On the very night she was to be turned by Marie, Jordan was attacked and left for dead by her own sister, Francesca Di Nerezza.  She was embraced by Marie minutes later, ensuring her own survival, as well as her sister's.

The eldest daughter of Creed Deveraux, Jordan had come to LA seeking one thing - revenge for her father's murder.   As time passed, Jordan found herself in the unlikely position on having not one but two siblings, her twin brother Cole and younger sister Francesca embraced by different Clans.  Her youngest sister Leigh was growing more headstrong - and reckless - by the day.  And rumors within the Kindred world that the three Deveraux sisters made up the prophesized Triumvirate began to grow stronger, placing both Leigh and herself at risk of becoming pawns in a battle for Clan control within LA.  As the battles between herself and Canio became more and more hazardous, and the risks to her family's well-being more apparent, Jordan made her difficult decision - join Marie and live to fight Canio and his Clan.

Fiercely loyal to her sire and her Clan, Jordan joins Asher in his role of Enforcer.  Skilled in combat, as well as in marital manueverings, Jordan is the epitome of a well-trained assassin.  She is not above using her looks to serve her Clan, and more then one slow-witted Di Nerezza flunkie has lost his life attempting to romance her.  Her recent romance with Adam Priscus has raised more then one eyebrow in the Kindred world, including her sire's.  Theirs is most definitely not a match made in heaven.

Jordan's time was a Watcher was not in vain, as she has chosen to follow the teachings of the vampire Lazarus.  This controversial figure in vampire history taught that vampires were created by God, and help to balance the powers of darkness by literally devouring evil - that is, to feed solely on mortals who seek the path of darkness.  Such a concientous separation from the normal mores of Kindred society ensure that it is
a decision that will be challenged time and again throughout the course of Jordan's existence.

Fine-boned and petite, Jordan hardly strikes onlookers as a threat or a warrior.  But make no doubt, she is deadly in her causes - and does not hesitate to strike against those who seek to harm her Clan, or those whom she loves.  The untapped power of the Triumvirate runs most strongly with Jordan, and even Marie remains apprehensive of what might happen if that power were unleashed on the world.

Jordan regards Marie as more then her sire; she views her as a trusted friend and confidante.  Above all, she seeks Marie's approval in her actions, and would willingly lay her life down for her sire's.  This is a resolve that may be put the test in the uncertain atmosphere of New York City...especially when she she has to choose between her sire and Adam.
