Z is for Zsadist

"I was dead until you found me, though I breathed. I was sightless, though I could see. And then you came... and I was awakened.- Lover Awakened, p.424

Stolen as an infant, enslaved, raped, beaten, gang raped, beaten and raped some more for a couple hundred years before being horribly mutilated in the course of his rescue and reunion with his brother, Zsadist has a paralyzing fear of sexuality as a result of his time being used a sex slave. Oh, and his parents are dead.

He is repeatedly described as being "enormous" below the belt or otherwise regarded by others with a sense of envy and/or awe. Zsadist initially believes he is defiled forever, to the point of not wanting to touch his daughter because she'll "get it on her."

Lover Awakened: Zsadist's Story

A former blood slave, the vampire Zsadist still bears the scars from a past filled with suffering and humiliation. Renowned for his unquenchable fury and sinister deeds, he is a savage feared by humans and vampires alike. Anger is his only companion, and terror is his only passion—until he rescues a beautiful aristocrat from the evil Lessening Society.

Bella is instantly entranced by the seething power Zsadist possesses. But even as their desire for one another begins to overtake them both, Zsadist’s thirst for vengeance against Bella’s tormentors drives him to the brink of madness. Now, Bella must help her lover overcome the wounds of his tortured past, and find a future with her…

Y for Youtube Characters

I've included this youtube video of some of the other characters in the series, because there isn't a name that begins with Y. Yes, we've seen Autumn and Layla already and aren't they pretty. The Band of Bastards aren't as ugly as I'd imagined. Xcor is supposed to be so ugly, the women will not even look at him. I still like him. Ever since he let Payne go after he'd learn the truth about the bloodletter, it showed he had some brains at least.

X is for Xhex

Xhex's story is told with John's in Lover Mine.

Xhex (pronounced Hex ), daughter of No'One/Autumn, is a half sympath masculine female. She is Revhenge's second in command. Xhex is also mated to John Matthew (Tehrror). She was named by Darius.

Xhex was conceived by her mother after she was raped by sympaths near/during her needing. Unlike Revhenge, her father was a common sympath, not royal nor aristocratic. Xhex controls her sympath side with cilices on her thighs. 

Xhex is an assassin by trade, a profession she enjoys, but for most of the series, she works as head of security at Revhenge's club, ZeroSum.

Xhex and John's romance is, to say the least, a rough one, but one with a happy ending.

Roughly 20-25 years before her involvement with John, Xhex was involved with another Black Dagger Brotherhood warrior- Murhder- who disobeyed orders not to go to the sympath colony where she was being held captive. He is believed to have gone insane after hearing that Xhex is part sympath.

Symphath: Subspecies within the vampire race characterized by the ability and desire to manipulate emotions...

W is for Wrath

by Violetfey

Wrath is also the center and focus of the next novel called 'The King" that is due out next year. He and Beth will be trying to have a baby. Anyway he is fully blind, and his dog, George, walks with him everywhere he goes in the mansion. He doesn't go out at night to fight anymore either.

Book One: Dark Lover
Wrath's Story

The only purebred vampire left on the planet, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who murdered his parents centuries ago. But when one of his most trusted fighters is killed- orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate - Wrath must usher the beautiful female into the world of the undead… 
Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn't there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes. His tales of brotherhood and blood frighten her. But his touch ignites a dawning hunger that threatens to consume them both… 

V is for Vishous

Vishous is semi Divine being the son of the Scribe Virgin, the deity vampires pray to in his universe. He also has a twin sister named Payne.... Vishous, who is well-read and the most intellectual of the brothers, enjoys bondage. When he reveals this to his surgeon shellan, she is highly disturbed. However, after a session in V's "penthouse", she comes around to the idea.

Vishous is also the resident genius and is in charge of communications and security at the compound. Having a hand that glows, it was one of the two legacies his mother the scribe virgin had given him. It would be a strong weapon against the bloodletter at least .

His hand was like a flamethrower and nuclear bomb, capable of melting any metal, turning stone into glass,  and making a kebab out of any plane, train, or automobile he pleased.

He was a valuable and important asset especially to Butch O'Neal the Dehstroyer. Vishous is one of my favorite brothers.

Book Five: Lover Unbound

Vishous' story 

Ruthless and brilliant, Vishous son of the Bloodletter possesses a destructive curse and a frightening ability to see the future. As a pretrans growing up in his father's war camp, he was tormented and abused. As a member of the Brotherhood, he has no interest in love or emotion, only the battle with the Lessening Society. But when a mortal injury puts him in the care of a human surgeon, Dr. Jane Whitcomb compels him to reveal his inner pain and taste true pleasure for the first time- until a destiny he didn't choose takes him into a future that cannot include her.

Undead Ulstead

Black-Dagger - A Lesser

I have to laugh at how utterly hilarious and stupid Lessers have become. Mr. X, the forelesser is usurped, when Mr.O doublecrosses him. Then Ulstead - the calm undead guy with a head on his shoulders manages to become Mr. O's right hand man ,  but is later killed simply because O's tired of him and the Omega favors O more than him lol irdk. They do seem to have problems with management though.

The lessers look like albinos with white hair and eyes. They smell like baby powder and have black blood running through their veins.

U appears in Lover Awakened.

Dawn was just arriving as U walked up to the cabin and opened the door. He slowed as he stepped inside, wanting to savor the moment. The headquarters were his. He had become the Fore-lesser. O was no more.- Ch.39 page336 Lover Awakened

T for Tohrment

source

Tohrment, son of Harm, is a Black Dagger Brotherhood Warrior and the mated of Wellisandra and Autum (No'One). Tohr's story is told in Lover Reborn.

“Where were his shellan and their young? Where was Darius? Where were all the others who had pared off from the trudging path his boots still strode so that they could take residence in the velvet ever-after life of the Fade? Did they watch what happened down here? Did they see what transpired, both the good and bad? Did they miss those they’d left behind? Did they know they were missed? …He shook his head as he stared at the closed door. You never knew the last time you were seeing someone. You didn’t know when the last argument happened, or the last time you had sex, or the last time that you looked into their eyes and thanked God they were in your life. After they were gone? That was all you thought about. Day and night.” -Lover Mine (Tohrment) 

He is the biggest disappointment of all . Upon hearing that his beloved shellan died, he just ups and leaves everyone in a tornado of destruction leaving everyone behind thinking he was dead.  It was a long time before we heard from him again. He was hauled back, emancipated and almost dead, by the angel Lassiter. I also hated Tohr and Autumn's relationship. It wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Lassiter.

Wellsie was his first wife and they were going to have a baby until Mr. O , the lesser who kidnapped Bella , shoots wellsie in the head, and that's when things went downhill for him.
