They are a musical group formed by the "lost" group of Carpathian children. They travel like old-fashioned minstrels or troubadours, from town to town, city to city, never employing outside musicians or technicians and always performing only their own songs. If anyone notices their not aging, they pose as their own descendants. Savon's death, their lifestyle of being up all night, and their pet leopards caused the Vampire Hunting Society to take notice and target them.
