Catena, Angelo, Dr. • Δ i, ii, iii, Ithea. Born 1955 in Cortellazzo, Italy. Graduated 1970, magna cum laude from Oxford University with degrees in biochemistry, psychology and neuroscience. Has worked closely with Albion Ravistelle in Venice, Italy since 1977. He was the first to make major breakthroughs in DNA research and was a co-developer for the Melgia Gene derived from the plant fond by young William Greenhame in the fourteenth century. Dr. Catena has also conducted experiments using the psychological and divinized art of Painter, Basil Pirrip Fenn.
Chatfield, Alan • i, Ithea. Loche Newirth’s attorney in Idaho.
Cole, Richard • ii, Ithea. Road Manager for the rock group Led Zeppelin. Richard was one direct connection that brought Helen Storm (Newirth) to the attention of Albion Ravistelle.
Craven, Helen • ii, Itonalya, Endale Gen. Helen Craven is the birth name of Helen Newirth. (see Helen Newirth.)
Cremo, Graham • iii, Ithea. Born 1968. Graduated from UC Berkeley with degrees in history and archeology. Graham acted as the lead archeologist and chief researcher at the archeological dig site at Wyn Avuqua, Priest Lake, Idaho.
Father Cyrus • ii, Godrethion. Birth details unknown. Father Cyrus was a leader of a Sentinel Monastic Order under the Bishop of London, Stephen Gravesend (d.1338). Monks of this Sentinel Order practiced monastic silence and were also trained as soldiers. Father Cyrus was the primary motivator behind Gravesend’s short lived and little known inquisition across England during the years 1335-38. The Sentinel Monastic Order, along with Bishop Gravesend, burned well over one hundred men, women and children claiming all were heretics, witches and sorcerers. Father Δ Cyrus was the reincarnated bridging spirit Cymachkena (Elliqui: dark dragon), or in other mythological texts, the Devil, Satan, Lucifer, Iblis, Set, Pluto, et cetera. Cyrus was slain by Albion Ravistelle near Strotford Manor, England in 1338. (See Nicolas Cythe, and Cynthia Summoner of the Godrethion.)
Cynthia Summoner of the Godrethion • Δ iii, Godrethion. Born in Wessex, 981. Cynthia is the reincarnated bridging spirit Cymachkena (Elliqui: dark dragon), or in other mythological texts, the Devil, Satan, Lucifer, Iblis, Set, Pluto, et cetera. Over the years 991-1010, she summoned, gathered and organized the massive Godrethion host to cross into unexplored North America to lay siege to the city of Immortals, Wyn Avuqua. She was slain by Vincale at Tiris Avu, 1010. (See Father Cyrus, Nicholas Cythe.)
Cythe, Nicholas • Δ i, ii, iii, Godrethion. Born 1977. Very little is known about Nicholas Cythe save that he was an extremely successful European businessman who owned vineyards in Italy and Spain. It was said that much of his fortune was built by his family, but there is no evidence to support the claim. Nicholas Cythe is the reincarnated bridging spirit Cymachkena (Elliqui: dark dragon), or in other mythological texts, the Devil, Satan, Lucifer, Iblis, Set, Pluto, et cetera. During the New Earth War, Nicholas was closely associated with Albion Ravistelle, the Endale Gen and The Board. He was the first recipient of the Melgia Gene developed by Ravistelle and Dr. Angelo Catena—the first Godrethion to become immortal on Earth. During the Battle of Masques, he was slain by George Eversman. It is said that his death was the end of the dreaded Cymachkena Shivtiris, as slain immortals are denied a Hereafter and doomed to oblivion.
Eastman, Lynn • Δ iii, Ithea. Born 1970 in Michigan, Illinois. Educated at New York Military Academy. In 1995 she was recruited by the private security company, Coldwater, owned by an international conglomerate known as The Board. The Board’s mission was to assist in the progression of the Melgia Gene and the evolutionary acceleration the human species. Lynn Eastman served as the Lead Operator at the Wyn Avuqua dig site, Priest Lake, Idaho. She led The Board forces against the remaining Itonalya at the Battle of Masques.
Echelle, Charles • ii, Ithea. Born 1941. Husband to Leonaie Echelle.
Echelle, Leonaie • ii,iii, Ithea-Itonalya. Born 1923 in Paris, France. Leonaie and her parents immigrated to the United States before World War II. Leonaie met the immortal, Samuel Lifeson in 1963 when she was visiting family in France, and the two fell deeply in love. Their relationship continued until Leonaie realized that Samuel could not grow old with her. She married Charles Echelle in 1989, but she never stopped loving Samuel. In 2015, Leonaie began suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and she was admitted to Greenhaven’s Retirement community in Coeur d’Alene, ID. Leonaie was one of the first recipients to be given immortality through Albion Ravistelle’s and Dr. Angelo Cantena’s genetic breakthroughs with the Melgia Gene. Leonaie now sits on The Board and writes curriculum for new Immortals.
Erinyes • Δ iii, Godrethion. Very little is known about Erinyes. The Godrethion host that destroyed Wyn Avuqua told stories that the Monk, Erinyes, was a Fate (a story likely derived from the Greek Moirai: Clotho, Lachesis or Atropos). Erinyes’ sex was mysterious, though most deemed the Fate to be female. It is also believed that Erinyes’ teaching was the foundation for the violent Monastic Order of Sentinels that emerged in England sometime around 1250. (See Father Cyrus.) During the Fall of Wyn Avuqua, Erinyes was counselor, herald and soldier under the command of the Godrethion Summoner, Cynthia. Erinyes was killed by Vincale before the omvide Dellithion in 1010 AD.
Etheldred • iii, Godrethion. Birth year unknown. Etheldred was a Field Marshal in Wessex before he was summoned as a Godrethion. Cynthia of Wessex appointed Etheldred Earl Constable during the planning stages of the Wyn Avuquain campaign. Just north of the omvide Mellithion, Etheldred’s sortie captured Loche Newirth, Julia Iris and young Edwin Newirth prior to the siege of Wyn Avuqua. Realizing that mighty Thi had crossed over within Edwin, Etheldred marshaled his captives to Cynthia. During the siege, Etheldred was killed by Adam Talansman before the omvide Dellithion in the year 1010 AD.
Eversman, George • Δ i, ii, iii, Itonalya, Orathom Wis. Born 1002 in the City of Wyn Avuqua. George’s birth name was Iteav and he was the only son of Queen Yafarra. Eight-year-old Iteav was beheaded, drawn and quartered before the gates of Wyn Avuqua by his own mother to enable the bridging Godrethion, Thi (Edwin Newirth), to escape the city. Iteav was restored by the healer Godrethion, Lornensha, and brought secretly to Italy where he spent most of his life. Over the centuries, Eversman drew together the remaining Itonalya and founded the modern Orathom Wis which would continue to follow the Old Law of eliminating bridging deities on Earth. During the The Battle of Masques, George Eversman killed and cast into oblivion the Cymachkena, the Devil.
Fenn, Basil Pirrip • Δ i, ii, iii, Ithea. Born Basil Godell, 1975, in Canterbury, England to Diana Godell and Bill Hagenemer. Later he was sent with his brother Loche Newirth to live with Diana’s twin sister Rebecca and her husband Jules Pirrip in the United States. After an assassination attempt that killed the surrogate parents, the brothers were separated and hidden. Basil was sent to live with Elizabeth and Howard Fenn, who changed his name to Basil Pirrp Fenn. Basil is the augured Poet foretold in Itonalya lore. His paintings were believed to contain doorways or portholes between this life and the next. This porthole allowed deities to look upon the human condition and feel its beauty and power without interfering in human affairs. However, his paintings, if looked upon by human eyes, would draw the imperfections of mortals into the sphere of the gods, thus invading and destroying the fabric of the supernal realm. It was also believed that he and his brother, the Poet Loche Newirth, would end the long slavery of the Immortals to the One God, Thi, and rid the world of divine intervention forever. Basil took his own life at the Uffizi in Florence, Italy, in October of this year.
Fenn, Elizabeth • i, Ithea. Born 1953 in Lacey, Washington. Step mother to Basil Pirrip Fenn.
Fenn, Howard • i, iii, Ithea. Born 1951 in Olympia, Washington. Step father to Basil Pirrip Fenn. Howard met with a terrible accident while raising his step son, Basil. Howard beheld an early work of Basil’s that nearly claimed his life. The experience placed Howard into a coma for several days. When he revived, doctors were uncertain if he would ever speak or walk again. Basil, wracke
d with guilt, painted a portrait with the intention of healing Howard. With John Whitely, Basil visited his stepfather and showed the painting. It brought Howard back to mental health, but he would never regain the use of his legs. After the Battle of the Uffizi, Howard remained with Albion Ravistelle in Venice to study Itonalya History.
Finnley, Astrid, Dr. • Δ iii, Ithea. Born 1970 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Graduated cum laude from the University of Idaho in 1994, and finished her doctoral degree in Mythology and World Religion at Gonzaga University, 1999. She is currently a Professor of Mythology and History at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington. Most of Astrid’s work has been in linguistics, but her obsession was the controversial subject of the Itonalya and their ancient city known as Wyn Avuqua. She self-published three books on Wyn Avuquain lore, language, historical evidence and cultural relevance. Most of her work has been regarded as pseudo history and speculative fiction by scholars, and her insistence on the subject has damaged her credibility as a historian and educator. In 2015 she received a grant to research the connection of Sumerian, Celtic and Egyptian languages, but she instead used the funds to complete her research to prove, once and for all, the existence of Wyn Avuqua.
Fryless, Mallory (Mal) • iii, Ithea. Born 1971 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Studied history and world religion at the University of Idaho before dropping out. Started his own business with Graham Cremo doing research excavation. He was a site dig site manager at Wyn Avuqua, Priest Lake, Idaho.
Geraldine of Ascott (of Leaves) • ii, Godrethion. (See Lornensha)
Godell, Alexander • i, Ithea. Loche Newirth’s birth name, given by his father William Greenhame and mother, Diana Godell. After the Moses Lake assassination attempt his name was changed to Loche Newirth. (See Loche Newirth.)
Godell, Diana • Δ i, iii, Ithea. Born 1944 in Canterbury, England. Diana gave birth to Alexander (Loche Newirth) and Basil Godell (Basil Pirrip Fenn), the augured Poet and Painter of ancient Itonalya myth. Discovering their divine purpose, Diana and Bill Hagenemer (William Greenhame) sent the boys to the United States to live with Diana’s twin sister, Rebecca and her husband Jules Pirrip. After an assassination attempt in Moses Lake, Washington, that killed both Jules and Rebecca, the surviving boys were split up. Basil was sent to live with foster parents Howard and Elizabeth Fenn. Alexander was sent back to Diana in Europe and the two went into hiding. During that time she changed Alexander’s name to Loche Newirth. When Loche decided to attend college in the United States, Diana remained sequestered. In 2010, it was William Greenhame, not Albion Ravistelle, who assisted in the faking of Diana’s death. The elaborate scheme was designed to throw off pursuit for fear of her capture and torture. Unfortunately, she was found and taken by the Endale Gen, and used as a hostage against the brothers. Following the Battle of the Uffizi, Diana was rescued by William Greenhame. Her aging body prevented her from fighting in the New Earth War, but she was a powerful support to her husband William and her sons. At William’s request, she stayed far from the front. When she learned of her husband’s beheading, she returned to Venice and was fortunate to retrieve William’s head from the surface of the Adriatic. She then arranged for Dr. Angelo Catena to restore her husband.
Gravesend, Steven, Bishop • Δ ii, Ithea. Gravesend was elected in 1318 and consecrated in 1319. As a suspected Godrethion (a rather powerful and murderous one), the Orathom Wis had sent Albion Ravistelle to eliminate him. Gravesend was, in fact, not a bridging spirit, but very often in the company of the Godrethion, Father Cyrus whose spirit emitted a profoundly dark Rathinalya. During the attempt on the Bishop’s life at Strotford Manor in 1338, William of Leaves had intended to poison the ailing Bishop, but at the last minute changed his mind and decided to pour the tainted wine on the floor. But before the boy could tip the rim, Gravesend seized the cup and poured the drink into his own mouth. As breath left his body, he confessed that he had condoned and ordered the death of hundreds due to the powerful influence of Father Cyrus.
Greenhame, William Heubert • Δ i, ii, iii, Itonalya, Orathom Wis. Born in 1332 to Father Radulfus Grenehamer and Geraldine of Leaves near the village of Ascott, England. His parents were both Godrethion. In 1338, attempting to save his mother from the being taken by a witch hunting mob led by Bishop of London, Stephen Gravesend, William’s throat was cut by the Sentinel Monk, Cyrus. To the great shock and delight of his father, The wound miraculously healed. Albion Ravistelle, who was hunting Godrethion (suspecting the Bishop of London to be a bridging spirit), discovered the young immortal and took him under his protection. During the New Earth War, William was beheaded by Nicholas Cythe. Gavress was performed by Albion Ravistelle on the Adriatic Sea just off the coast of Venice. But before William’s demise, his head was recovered from the water by Diana Godell. His body, too, was retrieved by assistants to Dr. Angelo Catena. Dr. Catena restored William to health through the use of the newly developed Melgia Gene and the ancient, magical leaves of William’s mother, Geraldine. William then followed after his son Loche across Menkaure. During the Battle of Masques William managed to bring Albion Ravistelle back to the Old Law.
Grenehamer, Father Radulfus • Δ ii, Godrethion. Birth year unknown. Husband to Geraldine of Ascott. Father to William Greenhame. Was presented with the post of Vicar at St. Mary the Virgin, Ascott, 1331. Married in secret to Geraldine in 1332. Albion Ravistelle was aware that Radulfus was a Godrethion, but decided to allow him to live given the Priest’s wholesome works. He was killed at Strotford Manor, England by Father Cyrus while protecting his son William in the year 1338.
Haganemer, Bill • i, Itonalya, Orathom Wis. One of many names William Greenhame has used through the centuries. (See William Greenhame.)
Hartman, Andi • iii, Ithea. Born 1970 in London, England. Graduated magna cum laude from Oxford University with degrees in criminology and psychology. Joined the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) counter terrorism unit in 2007 She was accepted onto The Board in 2009.
Hannazil, Chet, Senator • iii, Ithea. Born 1943 in Salt Lake City, Utah. American attorney and Republican politician. Graduated Brigham Young University in 1967. Received his J.D. degree from Florida State University, College of Law in 1971. Elected to the US Senate 1988. The Board appointed him Chair in 1999. He was stabbed to death with a ball point pen by Albion Ravistelle at The Board’s final meeting of this year.
Herzog, Geoff • iii, Ithea. Author, educator and historian. One of Astrid Finnley’s professors from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington.
Hruska, Marcel “Red Hawk” • iii, Ithea. Born 1991 on the Coeur d’Alene Reservation in Idaho. Studied history at the University of Idaho. Currently working on his masters at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington. Marcel Hruska has assisted Professor Astrid Finnley in her work concerning the Indigenous Tribes and their connection to the Itonalya of Wyn Avuqua.
Iris, Julia • Δ i, ii, iii, Itonalya. Born 1980 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Graduated cum laude from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, 2004. Julia raised the capitol to design and build a restaurant in Hope, Idaho called The Floating Hope. In October of this year, Julia received a mortal gunshot wound to the stomach from Dr. Marcus Rearden. She woke hours later in complete health with Loche Newirth at her side. Following this life altering discovery, Julia struggled to come to terms with not only her newly found immortality, but also her personal identity and place in existence. She was abducted by Helen Newirth and used as ransom for Helen’s son, Edwin. While a captive, her education as an immortal began under the tutelage of Albion Ravistelle. She was rescued by William Greenhame. As Julia accepted her new life she embraced both mercy and compassion as moral guides, and these meditations allowed her to serve as a kind of moral compass to Loche Newirth. During the New Earth War, Julia fought alongside Loche Newirth and the Orathom Wis. She lives with Loche and Edwin Newirth in North Idaho.
Iteav • Δ iii, Itonalya. Born 1002, Iteav is the only child of Queen Yafarra of Wyn Avuqua. This is the birth name of the O
rathom Wis Angofal, George Eversman. (See George Eversman.)
Jakes • ii. An English soldier under the rule of Edward III.
John • ii. An English soldier under the rule of Edward III.
Langley, Olivia • ii, Itonalya, Orathom Wis. Born 1907 in Cork, Ireland. Olivia was presumed dead after a wall in her family’s stone house collapsed and crushed her five year old body. Her parents frantically dug her out from the rubble. When she was pulled free they wept over the unmoving, deformed body. Not long into their lament, Olivia’s legs began to twitch, and suddenly snapped back into their normal, healthy shape. Then Olivia sat up and asked why they were crying. Her father was elated beyond words, but her mother was fearful of something more sinister and claimed that the Devil was at work. This fear drove a fissure between the family. The division was so acute that Olivia and her father were forced to leave Ireland. The two immigrated to the United States in 1914. It was in New York, at a Manhattan speak easy that William Greenhame, Corey Thomas and Samuel Lifeson met Olivia and her husband (a bandstand singer and jazz guitarist, Angus Windiman) for the first time, by pure chance, in 1927. Without knowing why, Olivia simply walked up to the trio and offered them each a piece of chewing gum. Learning of the terrible accident, William brought her into the Orathom Wis a year later. Olivia eventually became part owner in one of William’s franchises, Greenhaven Retirement Communities, where she helped to assist families and their elderly loved ones. There she met and cared for Leonaie Echelle. During the New Earth War, Olivia fought in the Battle of Masques.
Lifeson, Samuel • Δ i, ii, iii, Itonalya, Orathom Wis. Born 1395 in Ireland. Samuel managed to keep his immortality secret from his family and his community until his mid-forties when talk circulated that his physical body did not seem to age. By the time he was fifty, many of his friends felt as if he was concealing some dark secret. Samuel, uncertain how to explain his immortal body, decided to leave his family and friends without a word and begin a new life. Samuel would do this three more times over the next century. When he met William Greenhame, Samuel found meaning for the first time. He joined the Orathom Wis in 1528. In the early 1960’s Samuel met the love of his life, Leonaie Echelle. Determined to stay with her, he planned in secret to make her immortal through the Leaves of William Greenhame, and the science of Albion Ravistelle and Dr. Angelo Catena. During the New Earth War, Samuel fought at the Battle of the Uffizi. He was beheaded by the assassin Emil Wishfeill in Venice of this year.
