Seelie Court

The community of those infected with the necrophage and their friends and family. Although styled after Irish folklore, the court was only founded in 1931, after Hannah assumed the "throne" and introduced a new, more viable strain of the virus. This new strain allowed the infected to retain their fertility and had a much lower fatality rate. The Court is located somewhere in New Jersey, and can be reached through obscure means that have something to do with the couriers.

Parkhurst, Dr. Gregory

He is currently fully infected.
