Moccai

Once, Moccai was the kind and benevolent leader of the clan along with her mate Thesarian. The two started out as gentle Fae, carving out a humble beginning together tucked away in the deep forest. Soon their clan grew as they welcomed travelers and convinced them to settle. The clan thrived under the kindness of the rules but the pair didn't necessarily deem themselves fit to be leaders. They were soft, gentle, and thus other clans took advantage of them. Seeing that this hurt their clan members, the two Fae sought out replacements for themselves.

The Council was created, a group of elder dragons with various viewpoints and skill sets. Within that Council they elected a new leader and came to a mutual agreement over the matter. This leader, while not holding all of the power over the clan, would serve at the main decision maker. Lorelei, a willful dragon and a strong sorceress took on the title of Queen. Her mate, Neolithe, was chosen by her to rule at her side however his power was limited to his place in the Council while she remained the face of the clan.

Satisfied with this outcome, Moccai and Thesarian settled into their place on the Council and watched their clan grow under Lorelei's rule. She was strong and had heart but nobody knew that her dabbling in dark magic would take such a toll on her mind. The effects of the Queens research didn't show themselves until the previous leaders had grown old. Soon Moccai and Thesarian passed away peacefully of old age, thinking their clan was in good hands. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Their bodies went missing just in time for the burial and there was nothing to bury. The Council searched but nobody could find the old leaders. The mystery went unsolved and the clan became unsettled and saddened by the loss. The old leaders were gone.

Years later, it was becoming evident that the Queen was going mad. It was more obvious with each passing day but nobody realized that madness had been dwelling under the surface for a while now. She had been trying to keep it in check but it had claws and those claws gripped her soul with an unyielding hold. In her hidden lair where she practiced her necromancy, she struck success. The spell was mastered, the old leaders rose again. Twisted and mangled from her experiments, they took on the form of Aberrations. No longer Fae, they were morphed into new bodies and their minds couldn't adapt to the changes. They to were driven to madness as they tasted death and rose into their new shape.

She tamed their rabid viciousness, brought them back to a state of intelligence enough so that she could convince them to work with her. Chaotic and without purpose, the pair agreed. They were presented to the clan, the old leaders revived and made better than before. The clan was horrified but the beasts were so terrifying with the swirling madness in their eyes that they all fell silent in their presence. The clan looked upon the old leaders in fear, just as Lorelei had wanted. The Council was shocked and realized this had to be the last straw. Somebody had to do something about Lorelei. She had to be overthrown.




After regaining intelligence with Lorelei's help, Moccai grew smart. She was bright even before she had passed and now with more time to inform herself on the world around her, she might have surpassed even the mad Queen herself. She keeps this hidden, pretending to be dumb and obedient to the witch's orders. They were to act as her guard dogs in a way, to intimidate people into leaving the Queen in power so that she could become a dictator of sorts. Moccai herself was planning quietly beneath the surface, taking in every bit of Lorelei's manipulation tactics and perfecting them herself.

She wanted the clan back. She would rule it again with her mate but this time they wouldn't be weak or humble. They wouldn't cower in the face of confrontation. After all, their weakness led to the clan's demise. Because they allowed others to make the decisions for them, Lorelei had allowed evil to take root. No more. Chaos would reign and everybody would understand what true power looked like. Her new children, born strong as Aberrations, would bring a different kind of strength to the world.

She is often visited by Moloch, the Deity of Nightmares, when she sleeps.
