Cassidy Dragonstone has a long and colorful history, ever since her birth in 1835 in the railroad town of Canyon Diablo, Arizona. Her father was a Morgazi adept, killed by an Aztec Medicine Man when he tried to enslave the Medicine Man's tribe. Her mother was a Morgazi mage of moderate but not outstanding abilities and with very little shapeshifting ability beyond keeping her boobs high and her ass tight long after they should have begun to sag. It was this limitation that allowed Eunice Dragonstone to carry Cassidy to term, unlike the struggle so many of the Morgazi females had bearing offspring, especially the weaker ones.
Cassidy was born with her father's slippery sense of ethics -- and his power. She grew up running wild in the brothel that her mother ran, and then took up gunslinging and train robbing when her Ascension drove her from the brutal Arizona sun into a life that revolved around the night.
Her father had another secret, that he had kept from all but the Vhampir queen -- thieves ran in the Dragonstone line, and one of the items that had been stolen right out from under the nose of Morgause, the traitorous murderess who had bound Myrddin, the Aelvise envoy to the Vhampir during the time of Camelot, before he was able to finish teaching the Morgazi the Aelvise magics he had promised them as part of the treaty that kept the Vhampir from draining the Aelvise dry of their powerful blood, was a certain crystal. Within the heart of this crystal were all of the magics held by the mage, Myrddin. This stone had been handed down, along with a mission... put an end to EVERY SINGLE ASTOLAT that one could discover. The story had gone that there would come a time when a successor to Myrddin would come, and that, for that one, and that one alone, the stone would sing its secrets. Among the most powerful of her Clan, as well as one of the most secretive and most elusive, it was Cassidy who was entrusted with a changeling child -- stolen by the Sluagh from the Aelivise woman to whom he'd been born, and stashed with the Vhampir on the basis of a prophecy that marked the boy as important to the Vhampir, though it did not specify -why-, the only thing the Sluagh had brought with the boy was his name. The young man's name, when taken back to its Celtic roots, was translated as Myrddin, Son of Death. One day, without telling him why, while he was barely old enough to sit up on his own, yet, she let the young foundling play in her belongings -- in particular, with a box of nondescript crystals that she kept in a drawer. He did not know that she was testing his magics, for a child of Aelvise and Sluagh was bound to be powerful in all things Grey, but it was -she- who was shocked when it was Myrddin's crystal that sang at the boy's touch. Revenge was upon them, and it would be Cassidy Dragonstone who would avenge the broken treaty and obtain Myrddin's magics for the Morgazi at long last.
