If he's willing to sacrifice everything.
- Founder of the Monteliyet Family
Dreygorio Valseya Monteliyet of the Gelerium Imperium
- As a family built from within the shadows and stained with the blood of many, the Monteliyets have a rigid and challenging family culture of their own that has raised generation after generation of Moneteliyets to become assassins, torturers, mage hunters, and spies. With a doctrine that has everyone following incredibly strict rules, the Monteliyets have etched their names in the foundation of Zaichaer since their arrival. They are known to be a reclusive family that is as mysteriously alluring as they are daunting, if not terrifying.
It was Dreygorio that was the first of the Monteliyets, a mage hunter of the Gelerian Imperium who was lucky enough to e born into the higher echelons of Imperium society. When he took over as head of the family, he pursued many profitable ventures that afforded them the greatest pride and honor among the itinerant citizens of the Imperium. The Monteliyets became skilled mage hunters, spies, and assassins. The Monteliyets used their fame to secure their position of authority among the shadow side of Zaichaer and created a vast network of information.
As the years went on the Monteliyets migrated to what is now known as Zaichaer, finding a place within their order of mage hunters and information specialists. Their talents showed so well in the art of working in the shadows that they were given special authority over regulating the criminal elements of Zaichaer. Presently the family act as the eyes and ears of the state, while maintaining various duties.

The Monteliyet's have their hands in many pots, but more so the ones that gain them both respect and infamy.
- Ⅰ} Counter Intel:
- The main division of the Monteliyet Family and what has earned them both reverence and ire, is information & investigation. Knowledge is power and this facet goes to any and all lengths to uncover the truth. The Counter Intel facet specializes in preventing information from leaking, as well as information being stolen. The agents under this umbrella work close with the Espianoge Division agents, to protect sensitive information from being tampered with by an outside influence. They also work alongside the state in preventing important information from leaking into the public, especially information that could cause an uproar or mass panic. This division also acts as private investigators, such as monitoring activity among specific targets and handling any disturbances from other families of high society. Their division also maintains private holding cells, which are used to detain suspects for questioning, or those being tortured. - Ⅱ} Mage Hunting:
- Next to information trading, the Monteliyets are renowned mage hunters who pride themselves on this fact. Though done through mostly freelance work, the Monteliyets are pioneers in the art of tracking, disabling, and capturing mages or containing uncontrolled magic. They gain influence among the Order of Reconciliation for their talents and introducing the use of wolves in efforts to sniff out magic. - Ⅲ} Criminal Supervision:
- Though not on any official records, the Monteliyet Family ensures that the darkness of the Zaichaer's "underworld" and "Civil Society" never meet. They are known to act on behalf of officials within the governing body of the High City, employing their "watchful eyes" to regulate and police the city's criminal underworld. It makes sure that the underbelly of the city, and criminals and degenerates of other nefarious practices who congregate therein do not disrupt the civil society. Whenever the two seem to intermingle, it usually prompts the government to send them out to find and erase the cause of the disturbance from existence. - Ⅳ} Espionage:
- Primarily, the espionage division maintains the stealth operations of the Monteliyet Family. Amongst those employed into the ranks, you will find the quickest of the quickest, as well as those who excel in hand-to-hand combat, as well as saboteurs of all kinds. Assignments of this division vary from assassinations or infiltrations to mop-up operations to kidnapping and even protection of those who can afford the fee. However, jobs that need to be done quickly and clean are their main tasks. There are no mistakes allowed to those within this division, and a strict sense of leaving no trace behind is established among them. - Ⅴ} New Atheism:
- The New Atheism division deals with the brunt of science & innovation over the use of magic. While the agents in this division, mostly engineers and scholars working side by side, do have the ability to fight if the need arises as they are trained in martial arts such as hand-to-hand combat and basic weapon skills. Members of this division are tasked with inventing and improving the technology of the Monteliyet house. They are also responsible for all the research of new augmentations and the creation of new tech, as well as assisting the military in any capacity.
The Wolves of the Underworld
- The Wolves of Shadows make up the upper echelon of the Monteliyet family and its businesses, holding council on how to deal with threats to their power and to the peace of civil society. Masters of intel, as well as masters of espionage, as well as clean-up operations, the main family members are known around the High city for their level of "subtlety", the aftermath of their talents more seen than spoken of. Though they all share equal power in the family businesses, a Monteliyet is always in charge of one of the five facets of the family businesses.
The Monteliyet Estate
► Show Spoiler
- The Monteliyet family home, Beomir Manor, is located just beyond the West End of Zaichaer. Vast expanses of land, outlined by a great number of bushes and trees, contain the gargantuan building of the manor. A long stairway leads to the manor's entrance, where a huge fountain is established within the enormous courtyard nearby. The lofty manor has a substantial amount of stories; each level comprises numerous rooms that are furnished with elegant, luxurious furniture and possessions and belongings of the family. The Monteliyet home also comes outfitted with a greenhouse, a stable for horses as well as a separate lodging for the staff.
The manor is also a maze to the uninvited, as when it was first built the home was given many hallways that lead to nowhere, or trapdoors that lead you out of the manor or even to your death. Only the servants of the home and the family themselves can navigate the home with effortless ease, as anyone else is destined to be lead on a while goose chase, or doomed to wander the halls till they die.
