The Shadow Council

A Clandestine group of three supernatural advisors to the the British Crown. Given it’s clandestine nature, non-Supernatural citizens rarely know of it’s existence. Officially established in 1558 upon the ascension of Queen Elizabeth I, elements of the Shadow Council have been advising the Crown since 1532.

The Council meets twice a week, on Thursday and Sunday nights.

Vampire Potentate:

The Potentate is elected either by vote from all the hives in the United Kingdom or, in an emergency situation, by Royal Decree. He is a well-known Rove with extensive political acumen.

Werewolf Dewan:

Werewolf adviser to the Crown. A Loner. Styled as the Earl of Upper Slaughter, though he holds no actual country seat. The current Dewan is mostly concerned with military matters, and is the Commander in Chief of the Royal Lupine Guard. He sees to werewolf assignments in the army, among his other duties. He is a very private individual, and outside of his work as Dewan, very little is known about him.

Preternatural Muhjah:

This advisor to Queen Victoria is meant to break the stalemate between the Potentate and the Dewan. The post was established by George III in 1771 and it’s holder represents the voice of the modern age. It is also implied that the Muhjah would oversee any and all affairs related to preternaturals within the kingdom, as the Potentate oversees vampires and the Dewan does werewolves.
