Keith Walker

A soldier of Valencia during Liselotte Rhiannon Corvina's rise, he became the Horcrux of her sealing and because of that gained pseudo immortality. After the keys to Liselotte's prison were distributed among members of the Saint Church, they planned to have him executed because he knew the location of Liselotte's imprisonment and could free her if he wanted to. The Saint Church sent an assassin, Grace Hecate to gain Keith's trust and if necessary, execute him. Grace fell in love with Keith and the two married, they hid this fact from the Saint Church, but eventually the church began to suspect Grace and they sent alternative agents. It was reported to the Arch Bishops that Grace was pregnate with Keith's child, and the church decided they would use them against Keith. Keith's stigma for sealing Liselotte was immortality from anyone but those he loved, because he fell in love with Grace, the Saint Church had her murdered and their unborn child slashed to pieces. The souls of the two were bound into the vessels of young girls that shared similar physical characteristics of the original. The girls all had a bloodline similar to that of Liselotte and were tasked with killing Keith. Each time they died, within twenty-five years another would replace them, gaining all memories, skills, and abilities of the previous. House Hecate as people who inherited this stigma were called, was made into the "leaders" of the Saint Church and their background over glorified, in reality they each had a lifespan of twenty-five to fifty years to kill Keith or the stigma would consume and kill them.
