Possibly the oldest of the remaining active vampires, Archangel is the current leader of Clan Capadocious, the largest Clan in the history of the city, and former leader of the Clan of the Archangel (Second Largest after he built Cap Clan back up). He is also known as the founder of the NightWatch. Archangel also created the RavenBlack-Alleyway. He has chaired or been an active member of countless city organizations. Other notable events include his take-over of the Hall of Binding, he was the third vampire in the city to obtain the Blood Deity rank, and his no-apologies attitude toward black blood. Archangel does not believe in severence, and remains a second generation vampire in spite of his hatred for his sire. He is well known for his tendency not to give second chances, and for his unorthodox ideas. There is probably no aspect of the city that has not been touched in some way by Archangel. His actions are sometimes quite controversial. He tends to polarize people, meaning that most either love him or hate him, with very few in between.

Background
The beginning 1347
He was Marco Vivaldi, handsome Italian merchant. The ship's hold was full of silks and other exotic merchandise belonging to him and his business partner, and he was just docking at the port in Sicily, after a long and very successful trading trip to China and back. It was October, year of our Lord Thirteen Hundred and Forty Seven.
Several of the crew had been struck ill by some unknown pestilence which left the stricken covered with ghastly black spots. One of the crew had actually died. They had kept the body below, awaiting a christian burial in Sicily. Now Marco was home. When the goods in the hold were sold, he and his partner would split a fortune, and be set for years. But that is not what happened. The ghastly black death spread through the entire town and countryside.
Realizing what a deadly disaster had come to them, the people quickly drove the Italians from their city. But the disease remained, and soon death was everywhere. Fathers abandoned their sick sons. Lawyers refused to come and make out wills for the dying. Friars and nuns were left to care for the sick, and monasteries and convents were soon deserted, as they were stricken, too. Bodies were left in empty houses, and there was no one to give them a Christian burial. Children were abandoned.
Marco cried when they set fire to his ship and his treasures within. Having nobody who would take him in, he went to an abandoned monastery and waited for days without food or water. Waiting for the Black Death to take him as well, for he had no reason for which to live. That was when he met Nyarlathotep.
Nyarlathotep was extremely ancient, older than the pyramids, he called himself one of the first ones, and said that it was a great honor to be bitten by one such as him. Ancient, powerful, and very very dark. He never knew why the ancient vampire had given him the gift. But the first thing he saw with his vampire eyes was a depiction of the Archangel Michael, and it seemed to speak with him.
Marco Vivaldi had become "Archangel," a second generation vampire, with his vampire ears he could hear the squealing of tens of thousands of rats dying from the black death along with the humans they had passed the disease to. The screams of dying rats. He could never get it out of his head...
It was 1347 when the plague arrived in Sicily from China, and Archangel received the dark gift from the ancient vampire. By the following August, the plague had spread as far north as England, where people called it "The Black Death" because of the black spots it produced on the skin. A terrible killer was loose across Europe, and Medieval medicine had nothing to combat it.
In winter the disease seemed to disappear, but only because fleas, which were now helping to carry it from person to person, were dormant then. Each spring, the plague attacked again, killing new victims. After five years 25 million people were dead, one third the population of Europe. As the humans suffered, Archangel grew stronger and stronger, his vampire senses told him when someone was lying or telling the truth. He could smell fear. In business he was very powerful, and he grew prosperous again. He bought a lot of plague-ridden land and buildings, knowing that he would be around long after the plague had passed. He traveled throughout Europe during this time, learning all of its languages.
Even when the worst was over, smaller outbreaks continued, not just for years, but for centuries. The survivors lived in constant fear of the plague's return, and the disease did not disappear until the 1600s; and by this time Archangel had become wealthy again, but he could never get the screams of thousands of dying rats out of his head. It had been a long 250 years.
Medieval society never recovered from the results of the plague. So many people had died that there were serious labor shortages all over Europe. This led workers to demand higher wages, but human landlords refused those demands. Archangel became known in the area as a fair landlord, but by the end of the 1300s peasant revolts broke out in England, France, Belgium and Italy.
Archangel thinks about how everything changes to a creature that lives as long as a
vampire. Archangel loves art, partially because it was something that can withstand centuries of time, and still be appreciated. But at his age, even statues begin to crumble. Is it possible that a vampire could become so old that it would no longer care about art? Could a vampire, long enough lived, have no appreciation even for the pyramids, because they were built and crumbled during his time? Archangel is a great lover of art, and spends a considerable amount of his immense wealth on it. Archangel loved art even when he was human. How many of his human traits survived the transition? How much humanity is left, once one became a vampire? Quite a bit, Archangel thinks. More than is comfortable, considering that humans are a vampire's "food". Archangel collected fine art. It is his connection to humanity. He remembers the Renaissance... during the 1400's....
1400's
Even during the Black Plague, as his wealth and experience grew, Archangel began to appreciate how fleeting beauty can be, and returned to his homeland in Italy. It was now the early Renaissance, and high art was something that Archangel enjoyed very much.
He collected sculptures by Filippo Brunelleschi, statues by Donatello, Paintings of the Madonna, and owned a Fresco cycle of St Augustine in the Sant'Agostino, San Gimignano (1464-65), a sculpture of Sandro Botticelli, and some Last Supper scenes by various artists. For a short time Archangel was the proud owner of the "Adoration of the Magi for the Spedale degli Innocenti" (1488), which survives to this day. His library held collections of drawings, Ridolfo Ghirlandaio, Sassetta, Giovanni di Paolo, and Vecchietta, to name a bare few. The halls of his castle were filled with original Paintings of Christ, Paintings of the Madonna, and Paintings of Saints.
But with all that, it wasn't until he left Italy on a trip to the north that he found the art that he REALLY loved. For the first time he felt something stir inside him. He felt something touch him when he viewed these works. These northern artists seemed to understand his vampire heart. The art was dark. The subjects ranged from "Charon crossing Styx" to "A vision of Hell" Today, these works are called "Early Northern Renaissance" but in layman's terms, they are known simply as "Gothic"....
Walachia first had a fight on its hands against the Hungarians - however the rise of the Ottoman Empire during the 15th Century saw the region overrun by the Turks. It was from this time that a certain Vlad Dracula, a prince of Walachia in 1456, emerged to become the scourge of the Turks. For a short while, he succeeded in liberating Walachia from the Turks. Archangel, through his network of sources, had heard rumors that this "Prince" might possibly be a vampire. Having met few other vampires, and certainly non of consequence, he decided to seek out this "Prince"....
Vlad had recently broken his treaty with the Turks, and small outbreaks of violence were occuring in Walachian territory. Vlad was retaliating by attacking Turkey. Archangel knew that he would be able to meet this prince on one of these battlefields. Heading into the area with no entourage' and only on horseback, it was many days before he caught up to the first battle, near Nicopolis, in Turkey. It was 1461.
Archangel had arrived too late. Instead of a large city, there was only a field of dead bodies. 20,000 of them. Impaled on stakes. All of them, men women, and children. At the very center of town there was a stake taller than the rest. It held the body of the mayor of Nicopolis, Hamza Pasha.
A small handful of survivors related the scene of Vlad Dracula having a meal amongst the victims of his impaling activities. The sight of the massacre so shook the invading Turkish army that they turned back rather than face the man who could do such a thing. Archangel followed Vlad along the way to the Black Sea, where he intercepted a message from him to The Hungarian Court: "we have killed 23,884 Turks". Accompanying this message, Dracula sent two bags full of Turkish heads, ears and noses to underline his point. Three times Archangel almost caught up with this "Dark Prince", but Vlad Dracula moved and attacked quickly, and frustrated, Archangel returned to Italy, where his network might be able to offer more accurate info.
By 1462, the Ottomans had drawn up an overwhelming army of 60,000 men to wipe out the upstart Walachian Prince. The Turks advanced in two parts - half sailed along the Danube River while the other half marched overland through Bulgaria. Dracula's men kept the Turks shadowed along the Danube - when the Turks started disembarking, the Walachians burst upon them from the forest on horseback and drove them back into their boats with the ferocity of the attack. However, Dracula knew that he could not face the Turks in open battle, as he did not have the numbers to defeat the them in this manner. Having heard a first hand account of this battle, Archangel traveled once again to Walachia, in search of what was most certainly another of his kind, a vampire.
Dracula was waging a guerrilla war against the Turks, and winning. Archangel learned that Dracula was about to attack a villge by name of Tirgoviste, and headed swiftly, but once again, was too late. Archangel found a mile long gorge filled with 20,000 impaled Turkish families, and was present when the Turkish reinforcements arrived. All were shocked.
The brutal display was too much even for the notoriously cruel Turks. They withdrew without joining battle for Tirgoviste, with the Sultan complaining that he could not "win this land from a man who does such things."
Sadly for Dracula, he was then deposed as Prince of Walachia, and fled to the Hungarian capital, where he was given refuge. In 1476, he once again became prince of Walachia after invading with a new army.
Archangel never caught up with Dracula. The other vampire was finally killed. Ambushed outside Bucharest, his headless corpse was found in a swamp, impaled through the heart on a tall stake, just like 70,000 of his victims. His head was delivered on a platter to the Turkish Sultan at Constantinople - And Archangel was there, with the Sultan, and although he found only the dark hole of an important unsolved mystery inside, he congratulated the Sultan on the death of the Blood Thirsty Dracula. He looked into the dead eyes of the severed head, and saw nothing.
1500's and 1600's
The 1500's and 1600's
have been written, but
are omitted here, as
they are intended to
drive future plotlines
Early 1700's Colonial America
Archangel had always loved the sea. He chartered a special vessel to take him to the Americas, the new world. It was year 1711.
America in colonial days was a land of farmers. Archangel, on migrating to America found no great cities with innumerable openings for the industrious and thrifty, no great industries with salaried positions. He found only a vast, uncultivated region -- the valleys, the plains, the illimitable succession of rolling hills, crowned with primeval forest; and from this he watched the colonists clear the timbers and delve into the soil for their daily bread. Hence a nation of tillers of the soil. Archangel was stricken with how CLEAN everything was. A few ministers and artisans, rulers and merchants, there had to be, but their combined numbers were few compared with the great body of the people -- the farmers.
Archangel was a very wealthy man. With his vampire senses he just KNEW that plantations were about to be EVERYWHERE.
By 1732, Archangel had played the part of a wealthy plantation owner for 21 years.
By any account he was known as a respectable, if somewhat eccentric colonist.
When Poor Richard's Almanac was first published in that year, he made a special
trip to visit the author. That was also the year he met Peter Faneuil, a wealthy
merchant. Archangel liked him because he reminded him of his human life as a
merchant. Archangel liked anyone, even humans, who could create great wealth.
Peter was also the first human he trusted with the knowledge of his vampirism.
In 1737, he met John Smibert, another very intelligent man. They remained freinds until the man's death. In 1741, Archangel introduced the two men and by 1742 Faneuil hall, financed by Peter Faneuil and designed by John Smiibert was open to the public in Boston.
In 1750, a new dance rage from Europe swept the colonies, and Archangel would throw great midnight waltzing parties at his plantation mansion. Many of these parties were attended by great thinkers, such as Benjamin Franklin, a young man with a genius head on his shoulders. A year later, the man had invented the lighting rod, and Archangel paid him a great deal of money to have one installed onto his mansion.
Late 1700's American Revolutionary Period
In 1760 King George III was coronated, and Archangel knew there was going to be trouble. Having met the man when he was a mere prince, Archangel once remarked that the future king was "a pompous ass."
However on May 22, 1761, The world's very first life insurance policy was issued in Philadelphia, underwritten by Archangel and a few progressive merchants. Archangel, being a long-lived creature, was in a unique position to see developing trends and capitalize on them. He thought that in the near future, everyone would have life insurance. It was, after all, his idea.
In 1766 Archangel met with a man by name of Cavendish. This human had isolated an element he referred to as "Hydrogen." Archangel understood something that many of his kind did not. Vampires, for the most part, lacked curiosity, and preferred things to be "traditional". Archangel saw this as folly, and though he had no instincts to explore on his own, he certainly had enough intelligence and wisdom to cash in on those who did. The Humans. Great explorers. A long time ago, back when he was human, Archangel was a world explorer. This scientific stuff touched him in a deep way that few could understand at all. So be it.
It was year 1770. Archangel awoke from his slumber in the middle of the morning to the screams of his servants in Boston. Archangel's suite was on the second story level and he saw the captain of a British Garrison open fire on a large group of innocent Bostonians who had done nothing more than protest King George's Taxes. The screams had awakened him, and he stood in the darkness with a morning sunbeam no more than two inches from his chest. He watched, at an odd angle, the British gunmen fire, repeatedly, into an unarmed crowd, in what was later to be called "The Boston Massacre"...
He remembered every line of the Captain's face. He learned the man's habits. He followed the man a few weeks later, to a local pub frequented by the British red-coats. Archangel ordered a meal, and waited for the drunken Captain to make his way back to the British Garrison. On a dark street, Archangel confronted the Drunken Captain.
"You kill for no reason except sport." He said to the Captain.
"...and YOU'RE a bloody Vampire!" The suddenly sober Captain said as Archangel was sprayed with Holy water and garlic oil.
It had been a trap. Archangel had realized that this group had been hunting him all along, and he had been fool enough to jump into this trap both feet first.
Archangel was very good at "zipping" and disappeared before they could do him any further harm. He was hurt, but this had been a valuable lesson. Make no confrontation unless you know EXACTLY who you are dealing with!

DFC of Archangel
In January 2006, this character along with the †darkwolf,†Mooncalf and †hazetheinnocen were DFC due to the lies of Elizabeth,player of †Hesu, and her cronies. She lied to RB and stated plainly that Tejas, the player of Mooncalf, also controlled our other 3 characters and was stalking and harassing her. RB DFC'd all 4 characters for this crime and then when the 4 players wrote him to find out why their character was deleted. RB said because he was told that these 4 were controlled by Tejas and stalking the character Hesu. The minute he found out that he was lied to and that darkwolf's player lived in Texas, haze's player lived in Australia and that Archangel was played by the same player for 5 years, and Tejas controlled Mooncalf, he was pissed. He immediately reversed the DFC. Hesu and company then began spamming RB with threats unless he re-DFC'd us, so he put in a News Update On January 10,2006 titled Please Shut Up. This news update was directed to Elizabeth, (The Player behind Hesu), her lies and her cronies. To continue to bring up this DFC which had nothing to do with running too many unsupported clones or illegal coin drops, proves the hatred and bias of those players to the players of these four characters who were unjustly harassed and lied about. It is my hope, as the player behind the vampire Archangel, that nobody ever has to go through what I went through. Never Forget.
Life in RavenBlack City
2002
- †Archangel is sired, completing the "three brothers" - †Mooncalf, †Capadocious, and Archangel.
- Archangel invented the blue square technique, where several vampires could sleep on a single city block, turning it blue for protection. The fortresses seemed like a brilliant idea at the time – and can still impress, even though in this age, they would be useless. It was an entire era onto its own, and had a very simple idea behind it: move around in a large group – generally of 8 – and the chance of you being attacked diminished to almost zero.
- Seeing a need for order, Archangel formed the Nightwatch, a neutral city police force. To make sure all was fair, †Archangel lobbied all parties to sign on. Lending their names in support were BOTH †Mooncalf and †Capadocious, as well as a host of others such as †AstaTheBroken and †Beljeferon.
2003
- RavenBlack-Alleyway was formed by †Archangel, a hall simply for roleplay only. It became an alternative to the RBB.
- It isn't often that a vampire would die, or die forever – if they're cautious to stay away from the sun – but one Kindred was forever taken away from us that otherwise lovely month. His name was †Pazuzu. Archangel petitioned Lord RavenBlack to create a graveyard to place his remains. It is located at Larch and 50th, right next to Euterpe Station. It is guarded by Archangel's NightWatch City police.
- Archangel defends RavenBlack against the Church of Blood.
- Archangel becomes first vampire to gain all powers.
- Joins Clan Archangel under Tartufo.
- Clan Archangel was quietly running a massive recruitment campaign. †Tartufo wanted to brag to the city about their size, but †Archangel urged stealth, lest they be crushed as a threat. Clan Archangel was growing quickly, but the warriors were almost completely untrained.
- †Archangel, backed unanimously by the other officers in Clan Archangel, overthrew †Tartufo who was taking all of the glory and doing none of the work. Archangel's coronation produced the most massive display of posting ever on the RBB. Clan Archangel arrived on the scene as an unknown clan, already 100 members strong, the third largest clan of the day.
- †Capadocious approached his brother †Archangel to have Clan Archangel join The Dynasty. †Archangel stalled, saying the clan was still new. The Join or Die ultimatum was not yet given.
Original Nightwatch Poster
- Clan Archangel quietly prepared for the inevitable fight against The Dynasty. The clan was composed largly of undertained fledgling vampires. †Archangel insisted to his frightened officers that they could resist the Join or Die ultimatum if it was given, if only they had time to prepare...
- Unprepared for a confrontation with The Dynasty, Archangel quietly funded Capadocian enemies, and attempted to spread dissent among the heads of the Dynasty clans against Capadocious. Archangel joins the Dynasty Dojo, undetected by KenoshaVamp, the Chief of security. This was due to Archangel using his own name and not a thrall, (not using any kind of false pretenses) instead relying on the idea that nobody would check with Capadocious. It worked.
- Confusion hit Capadocious' circle of clans (The Dynasty). There was a sudden revolt, and †Mooncalf himself seemed to be used as an excuse for the betrayal. It was claimed that Mooncalf's very presence was unwanted in the clan, as none trust the evidently manipulative creature. It turned out that they were right not to, as Mooncalf joined The Dynasty with the intention of getting revenge on †Capadocious.
- as the Dynasty broke up, †Archangel, a student of The Dojo (who was also the leader of Clan Archangel unknown to anyone there), began a recruiting drive for Clan Archangel which resulted in over 20 students lifted from the Dojo, and †Kenosha_Vamp closing the doors before the 24 hours. When the new Shadow Court Dojo opens the next day, a new application and tougher screening process are in place.
- Clan Archangel threw a massive party in their halls, having narrowly escaped a direct confrontation with The Dynasty.
- Archangel became one the biggest Black Blooders, reminding the city that before the streets appeared, black blood was the ONLY kind of blood there was.
- He forms The Forge, a school for new vampires run by Clan Archangel.
- Those in the city without the knowledge of black blood, or the ability to make it work, began to admonish black blooders like †Mooncalf, †Capadocious, and †Archangel, saying its use was immoral.
- †Capadocious and †Archangel became rivals. Capadocious saw Archangel's earlier failure to join the Dynasty as a betrayal.
- †GraveGuard was created by †Archangel, and was the first of the NightWatch Transit Guards to appear. Although not technically a transit guard, he did set the model and standard for the transit guards which were to come.
- December 7 - †Archangel created the remaining nine NightWatch Transit Guards. Their function was to help those in need and to educate newcomers to the city.
- Dec 25 - Archangel throws a city-wide Christmas Party on his IRC channel. The party takes on a life of it's own. December 31 - The massive Christmas party is officially declared a New Year's Party.
2004
- Archangel and others established the RavenBlack Municipal Court, created for settling matters which could not be settled amongst individuals.
- †Capadocious was finally zeroed by the collective force of the city; his clan was also decimated. Clan Archangel and the Church of Blood disagreed over which clan got the killshot. Neither side could produce hard proof. This event touched off the AA/CoB war.
- †EvilBill declared that the sole purpose of his clan was to destroy Clan Archangel as the city was not big enough for both clans.
- †Capadocious invented Torpor due to multiple rezeroes by Clan Archangel, Shadow Court and others. The idea became popular.
- Church of Blood attacked Clan Archangel over a member of Clan Archangel who insulted EvilBill.
- Massive zeroings on both sides of the AA/CoB war continued, making it the bloodiest war in city history to that date.
- In spite of a war, Clan Archangel became the largest clan ever to exist in the city, their total membership reaching well over 400 and nearly 500.
- Bankrupt, †EvilBill attempted to rally the city behind him in the AA/CoB war, by demonizing †Archangel. The propaganda was surprisingly successful, and the war continued.
- Clan Archangel finally repelled the CoB, ending the longest and bloodiest war in RavenBlack city history. †Archangel quipped "Bill we gotta do this again next year."
2005
- Archangel places †evilchicken in charge of clanAA. They pretend to have a falling out. This is a ruse. Archangel join's Cap Clan and is given access to all of the boards. He commences spying.
- Mission accomplished, Archangel returns to Clan AA and is re-instated as Liege by EvilChicken, but this causes unrest within the clan.
- Tian Attempts to Overthrow Archangel and fails
- Avigon betrays Archangel and attempts an overthrow.
- Hesu Attempts another overthrow, ending a triple series of overthrow attempts.
- Archangel takes †Mooncalf as his second in command knowing he can trust him.
- Clan Archangel announced that they officially 'owned' the Hall of Binding, but not Severance, and whoever did not pay a binding fee to them would be scrolled and displaced from the Hall. This lasted for over a year and caused many to have private unannounced bindings. The practice ended when Archangel stepped down as leader of the clan.
2006
- January 9 - †RavenBlack smote †Mooncalf, †Archangel, †hazetheinnocen, and †darkwolf. They were all resurrected the following day. (OOC: The player behind Hesu lied to Raven Black, and he corrected the error once he realized he had been duped. Hesu and her friends begin spamming Raven and making threats if he does not reverse his decision and he makes a special game update that day directed at the player behind Hesu)
- After an emotionally devastating betrayal by †Crazyinblack, †Archangel handed command of Clan Archangel over to his brother †Mooncalf, and left the clan, never to return.
- †Archangel started a newspaper called "Archangel's Opinion". It failed horribly. It seemed nobody wanted to hear his opinion.
- †Archangel was seen occasionally in the streets as a drunken derilict. He was homeless, clannless, and was even seen begging or for spare change. A shell of his former self, the former Liege of Clan Archangel slept in the transit stations.
- †Archangel's leg was eaten by †The Shambler. Witnesses recall that the once brave vampire was seen cowering in fear of the C'thuloid.
- †Archangel was found sleeping in the bushes of the Capadocian Castle, having been kicked out of nearby Euterpe Station for vagrancy. †Capadocious barely recognized his brother, but took him in for a bath and a meal. †Archangel joined Cap Clan.
- †Capadocious left the city, giving †Willhelm the keys to Clan Capadocious. †Archangel was sent to the Capadocian Dojo, to learn how to find shops and use weapons. (No Shit, that's what they said)
2007
- (January) While Archangel languishes in the dojo (5 months now), †NAE left Clan Capadocious taking many with her.
- (May) †Demonic_Diati left Clan Capadocious, taking many with him. (Arch is still studying in the Dojo, they won't let him out)
- (June) †Willhelm left Clan Capadocious handing control over to †mrbrutus. (Arch has been studying for 10 months now) :P
- (July) †mrbrutus left Clan Capadocious, handing the keys to †BubbleKnight. (Yep, still in the Dojo)
- (August) After a long line of steady exoduses since †Capadocious left the city, †Archangel was finally released from the Capadocian Dojo after a year. He was appalled to see that the clan is nearly decimated.
- (September) †BubbleKnight all but disappeared, leaving †Thalialeu, his second in command, in charge of Clan Capadocious. Archangel asked for control of the clan and was denied.
- (October) †HerGlowingEyes led a last final exodus out of Cap Clan, which left an effective 3 members. †Thalialeu reluctantly handed control of the day-to-day operations over to †Archangel.
- (November) - †Archangel grew Clan Capadocious to a healthy 40+ members, mostly vampires new to the city.
- (December) - Archangel Discovers that Thalia has locked the doors on him.
- Capadocious comes out of retirement and intervenes. Since Thalia was not a decsendent of Capadocious, nor was Lord BubbleKnight, and being as how Archangel was Capadocious's brother, along with Archangel's proven clan-building ability, it was decided that the clan would go ahead under Archangel. However, this action temporarily split the clan into 3 factions, as Thalia and others did not wish to give up power so easily, and each faction insisted that they were the "real" Cap-clan, even if it was in name-only. While the other factions have memberships of 2-3 vampires, Archangel moves forward with the actual clan, consisting of over 60 vampires at this point.
2008
- Archangel attempts twice to re-unite the factions, both attempts are met with sneak attacks as negotiations begin.
- By March 15, 2008 Clan Capadocious, under Archangel, had grown to number approximately 350 members, while the former faction had dwindled down to only Thalia herself, with BubbleKnight being completely absent. A third "faction", consisting of only three members, was simply crushed.
- Archangel destroys another clan Azrael's Knights for attempting to assist one of the two vanity factions.
2009
- In January, Archangel approves a symbol for the clan. It is now the official Capadocian Flag.
- In April of 2009, Cap clan experienced a REALITY SHIFT. Archangel is the first to disappear into an alternate universe.
- On June 20, 2009, Hanyou 2IC of Cap Clan Created a duplicate Clan Board, and held a secret meeting of the clan without †Archangel and attempts an overthrow. Hanyou is removed from the clan and later zeroed.
- In August, Archangel breaks his own record, growing Clan Capadocious to the 500 member mark, making it the Largest clan ever to exist in the city, toppling his old record formerly held by Clan Archangel of 477 members.
- In October, Archangel accepts the title of NightWatch Ambassador.
- December, Archangel begins writing The "10 and 20", Capadocian Birthrights.
2010
- January 29, Archangel announces a general Capadocian amnesty to all enemies and ex-Capadocians in the city. This coincides with the release of the Capadocian Birthrights. All Capadocians everywhere, in or out of clan, now enjoy basic guarantees and rights forever.
- February 10, The Idea Task Force (ITF) is formed by †Moon_Shadow and †Archangel, so that common everyday citizens may participate in improving the city.
