Institutionalized for various severe mental illnesses long before being Embraced, these three men, two women and a teenage boy found a precarious stability in each other. Until they met at Bridgewater State Asylum, each had suffered from some form of catatonia or solitary delusion. They soon became fast companions, sharing a delusory medieval world of dragons, kings and sorcerers which, by the mad workings of their unbalanced minds, they created together.
Although this group delusion was a deeper and more complex problem than had previously existed, it at least gave them a limited ability to interact with the real world. They saw their doctors as monks, and Bridgewater as a monastery where they were knights recovering from a bloody quest.
One evening, a black knight came to the monastery and ensorcelled them -- at least, that is how they viewed their Embrace. The knight, who called himself Skarvan, took them far from the monastery. They traveled on enchanted steeds to New York City. There, the knight showed them their new castle -- an abandoned shack outside the city -- which, as his squires, they were to defend at all costs.
Every night they would rise from their earthen beds and watch the black knight ride out to prepare the "Dragonfeast" -- the kidnapping, murder and exsanguination of a mortal. The knight would return with a beast and its spawn (several mortals) that he had killed in "deadly combat," and then feed the neonate squires their blood.
