Their father is a demon (Asmodeus), and their mother is an angel.

While Vincent’s visage mirrors the serene beauty often associated with angels, his eyes tell tales more complex and shadowed. Resembling shards of black ice, his gaze harbors a glint that oscillates between cruelty and intense discernment, casting an enigmatic and somewhat ominous glow. His skin possesses a luminous quality, subtly radiant even under the muted lights of a club, reminiscent of a celestial being who has soaked in the sun’s immortal glow.

Sporting a crown of tight golden curls, cropped short to halo his handsome face, Vincent embodies an arresting blend of ethereal beauty and smoldering allure. Beneath the halo of curls, his eyes smolder with a fire that is both mesmerizing and slightly dangerous, inviting and warning in the same breath.

Though angelic in origin, Vincent’s lineage is tinged with the dark allure of temptation, being the son of the King of Lust. This duality renders him a paradoxical figure, a tantalizing angel with hidden depths of seduction and mischief lurking beneath the surface of his heavenly demeanor.

The narrative thread pertaining to Vincent thickens with the introduction of Ari, his destined chosen one, within the folds of “Cult of the Hexad.” However, the curtain fully lifts, revealing the contours of their relationship and the mysteries enveloping Ari, in “Vincent’s Immortal Curse“. The story tantalizes readers with revelations about Ari’s true identity before reaching an abrupt pause, with the continuation of their saga anticipated in the sequel, the release date of which remains undisclosed.

In the grand tapestry of the narrative, Vincent Draven is a character of light and shadow, of divine beauty and tempting darkness, encapsulating a journey that is as captivating as his smoldering gaze and as mysterious as his dual heritage. Each page bearing his presence is a dance of allure and mystique, inviting readers to lose themselves in the allure of his story and the magnetic pull of his character.

Dominic Draven, the eldest of triplets, alongside his brother Vincent and sister Sophia, is no ordinary man. He is a majestic tapestry of angel and demon, ruling over earthbound supernatural beings with an authority born of his dual heritage. While Vincent embodies the serene grace of angels and Sophia, the unpredictable ferocity of demons, Dominic encapsulates the enthralling dance of light and shadow within himself.

Their father is a demon (Asmodeus), and their mother is an angel.

Possessing an allure that can only be described as breathtaking, Dominic exudes a Mediterranean charm with his dark, mesmerizing features and olive skin kissed by the sun’s golden rays. The narrative later unveils his Persian descent, casting a spell of exotic magnetism. His hair, a cascade of jet-black silk, falls naturally to his shoulders, framing a visage both meticulously groomed and ruggedly appealing, with eyes deep-set and ablaze with an intensity that seems to pierce through the veil of reality itself. These onyx orbs, tinged with an ethereal purple, bear witness to millennia of secrets and tales untold.

Gifted with the polyglot’s ability to dance through languages, Dominic often whispers phrases that weave through the air, carrying the weight and melody of ancient tongues. A master of the mind, he can delve into human consciousness, navigating its labyrinthine corridors to see through their eyes, exert control, and exert his will.

Dominic’s powers are manifold: he unfurls wings to soar through skies; his fangs are not vampiric but tools of unknown mysteries; his hands can bestow healing, and his body rejuvenates at a pace defying mortal constraints. With a mere thought, structures crumble and rebuild under his gaze, a testament to his mastery over matter itself.

Throughout the annals of time, Dominic has acquired skills mundane and extraordinary. A pilot, a polyglot, a healer, a lover of speed and weaponry—each facet of his character is a chapter waiting to be explored. However, beneath the sheen of perfection simmers a volatile temper, a possessiveness towards Keira that paints the canvas of their relationship with vibrant and sometimes alarming hues.

The enigma of Dominic’s age is a thread that runs throughout the series, hinting at a life that has witnessed empires rise and fall. He is ancient, with whispers suggesting an age spanning over four millennia, twice as old as Lucius, bearing the weight and wisdom of years with an elegance and power that is magnetic.

Dominic Draven is not just a character; he is an experience, a journey through time and emotion, a symphony of power and vulnerability, darkness and light, love and possession. With each page turned readers are invited to lose themselves in the depths of his eyes, to fly with him through skies inked with mystery, and to fall, irrevocably and completely, into the saga that unfolds with his every step.

What does Draven look like?

Dominic Draven is a character of otherworldly allure and commanding presence. Dominic is a blend of angel and demon, a symphony of contrasting powers and irresistible charm. His heritage is Persian, with skin that glows with a sun-kissed olive tone. His features are dark and compelling, exuding an exotic magnetism that captivates at first glance.

How old is Draven? That’s a hard question to answer. According to this passage, he would be born sometime around 507 BC (or earlier).

Arsaces I of Persia’s rule began in 247 BC, and according to the books- Dominic ruled as Arsaces for a large part of the Achaemenid empire. (Obviously, Dominic ruled as several Kings, changing through time, as mentioned in Septimus 1)

But before that, we have no dates to prove when Dominic was alive. However, we do have a piece of lore that comes in Septimus 2, when Sophia is telling Kiera about Pertinax.

The story goes that Pertinax was the ruler of supernatural life (presumably on Earth) and also a former president of hell. When Dominic was born, his parentage of half-demon/angel pushed Pertinax out of this role. He has had a vendetta ever since. Septimus 2 mentions Pertinax’s first attack on Arsaces in 193 AD (three months after the murder of Commodus and Pertinax becomes emperor) involving the culmination of -what the books describe as a ‘700-year-old feud’ between Dominic and Pertinax. Therefore, if this feud began at Dominic’s birth (and Pertinax was very angry about this), Dominic’s possible birthday would be around 507 BC.

But then someone else pointed out that Draven is also referred to as Enki. The god first appeared in written works during the Early Dynastic Period III (2600-2334 BCE) and was established as an important god of the Akkadians by c. 2400 BCE, who knew him as Ea. Excavations at Eridu, however, have uncovered evidence of a tradition of shrines to Enki dating back to the founding of the city c. 5400 BCE.

So, how old is Draven? Anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 years old. We know that Lucius is over 2,000 years old, and Draven is much, much older than that.
