• Malgaard : Our coven, like any organization, cannot function properly with two heads, Doctor. And between the two of us, there appears to be one head too many...

• Christian Grey : You're not going to try to recruit me for your coven?

  Malgaard : That would not be wise. You see there are others among us like you... Others who spare their victims lives and see themselves as more mortal than immortal. It is a manageable group at the present... but with the right leader? No. I realized long ago there could be only one fate for you.

• Malgaard : It was when news reached Baldwin I that pilgrims en route to the holy city were being ravaged by blood-drinking demons, that he dispatched us -- his loyal knights -- to the site of the attacks... We never arrived. Midway through our journey, we were set upon by the very demons we had been sent to vanquish. The attack came one night while we slept, and before the dawn of the next day, each member of our group had been initiated into the ranks of the undead... Those creatures whose kiss had changed us so profoundly were the forerunners of our kind... primitive... unaware of the potential of their powers and as superstitious as those they fed on -- cringing like credulous fools at the sight of the cross. But as for us, before joining the Templars, we had been noblemen. Poor and landless perhaps, but not lacking in ambition. We immediately saw the potential of our new abilities and before long, the Templars, under our direction, had become the center of a worldwide web of power. The kingdom of the night might have been established then and there, in fourteenth century Europe, had circumstances -- and Philip IV -- not turned against us. As it was, the Templars' base of power was destroyed, and, of the group of immortals that had controlled the order, I was the sole survivor. Only now, after a struggle of many centuries, have I finally been returned to my rightful position... looking out over those who will soon live to serve me and my kind.
