previously be lieved: see new documents updating Allegra’s
history/diary/Hazard-Perry notes), Allegra forsook her blood bond to her bondmate and vampire twin,
Charles Force (Michael, Pure of Heart: see Force Family Files/Angelus Files/Pure) to elope with her
human familiar, Stephen Chase. The marriage rema ins the only instance of a vampire-human bonding.
The couple lived in hiding for several years until Charles Force, acting from hi s position as Regis of the
Conclave, lifted the sancti on and allowed Allegra to return to the Coven.
Allegra succumbed to a self-im posed coma in 1995, three years following the birth of her
half-human daughter, who was c onceived from the illegal union with her husband/human familiar.
While earlier reports indicated that Allegra lapsed into unconsciousness immediately following the
birth of her child, the Repository has concluded that the confusion on the dates of Allegra’s current
long-term hospitalization stemmed from her lengthy stay at the maternity ward after the difficult birth
of her child. The date of that earlier internment (9/1/1992) was mistakenly app lied as the date of her
remittance into th e care facility.
It is speculated that sorrow from th e death of her human husband {DEATH
UNCONFIRMED–RENFIELD} was what led Allegra to lapse into a comatose state. She would not
participate in the Caerimonia Osculo r with any other human after their bonding, and when he died, she
chose to withdraw from life as well.
A recent visit to her hospital bed re vealed that even at forty years of age, Allegra has kept her
incandescent beauty. Wh ile most of the community used to visit at her bedside, in recent years, only
two visitors have signed the secu rity logs: her estranged bondmate, Charles Force, and her daughter,

Schuyler Van Alen. While some in the Coven believe that Charles Force could use his considerable influence on his
twin to wake her, he himself ha s admitted that he has no such power over her reduced state.

CONFIDENTIAL,
From Lawrence Van Alen Records
This letter was found among Allegra Van Alen’s personal effects.
My daughter,
If you are reading this, you are awake. I am writing, for I fear we shall not meet in this lifetime or
in any other. I am leaving for Rio tomorrow evening, and I do not know if I will be able to return.
Before I left, I wanted to finally answer the question you posed to me before I went into exile. Yes,
you did have a child in {REDACTED}. We kept her hidden from you after her birth, and her
destruction was my doing. I cannot speak for Charles, but I ask you to forgive him for the sin we
committed so many centuries ago. He did only what I asked of him, for the good of the Coven.
I leave you as ever, your loving father,
Lawrence

Gabrielle birthed many reincarnated sp irits in many cycles. She is, in a sense, mother to all, but we
have recently learned that she had not one but tw o trueborn daughters: children who were created as
new spirits and not simply a reincarnation of an immortal one. (So far, Gabrielle is the only vampire
able to procreate in the human sense. No other vamp ire female has been able to create new life instead
of carrying the immortal spirits of those who came before.) The House of Records has always been aware of Schuyler Van Alen, but only recently has been
apprised of the continued existence of Allegra’s other daughter, one bor n during {REDACTED}. The
child was to have been destroyed by order of the Regis. New information indicates that Cordelia Van
Alen may have been correct in her assumption that the child survived as a result of treachery within the
Conclave. With the disappearance of Forsyth Llewelly n during the attack at St. John the Divine, and
