"Yes, vampires. Vampires, werewolves, ghouls, faeries; they're all real in some form or another." Gabriel grunted his confirmation shortly, downing the whiskey in a practiced motion. He wasn't sure why, but he felt the need to confide in Cat and bring light to his dark world. Although it was against Warden regulations and against the Council's wishes, the situation that they had found themselves in overruled that.<br/><br/>"They don't sparkle, no, although I suppose White Court vampires would be the closest thing to sparkling." He mused thoughtfully. "Red Court vamps are your bloodsucking, giant bat hidden in human flesh, type of monster. The Red court ones aren't undead, but they can turn humans into more of their kind. Black Court camps are your stereotypical, undead vampire. They're mostly extinct now since Bram Stoker wrote Dracula and brought every weakness they have to light." Gabriel snickered cruelly, despising the Black Court for their cruelty.<br/><br/>"Now the ones we're dealing with are White Court," he said finally. "They're the weakest of the court in a physical and magical sense, but what they lack there they make up for in other areas. As far as I'm concerned, they're the most dangerous." The Warden's face darkened once more as he spoke, having had multiple run ins with these parasites. "The White Court feeds on emotions. As they consume these emotions, the soul of their victims weaken. There are different families in the White Court and these families each prefer preying on a different emotion. The largest family, the Raiths, feed on lust. They're all inhumanely beautiful and they know how to work the shaft." He said crudely, shaking his head. "The porn industry and movie industry is rife with the bastards. They're probably the ones pushing the sex trafficking ring."<br/><br/>"The second family," he continued, pouring both Cat and himself another strong drink. "Feeds primarily on fear. They're likely the ones helping with the distribution of ThreeEye. The drug simulates a Wizard's sight, which allows you to see the very nature of a being. The image will never leave your head, however, and remains fresh until the day you die. Some things...some things should never be viewed by the sight." Gabriel's face became pale as he spoke of it and he downed his drink once more. "To a normal human, the fear would be overwhelming."<br/><br/>"The last family feeds on despair. They're  called Skavis. I'm not sure how they fit in or if they'd even be involved." Gabriel shrugged, mentioning them only for completions sake. "The reason that this court is the most dangerous is that, for all intents and purposes, they're human and appear as such. They have a beast hidden within and, when they unleash it, they become stronger and faster than your typical human and a damn sight hungrier because of it. Their feeding is addictive and keeps their victims coming back for more. As if that's not bad enough, the thing that makes them truly dangerous, is their influence. They have money, lots of it, and a lot of political power to boot."
