Phantom Thief Faction
Mockingbird is a syndicate comprised of phantom thieves—individuals who engage in theft and other clandestine operations for the sake of justice and the greater good, all while implementing style, grace, elegance, and charisma.
Not much information about Mockingbird has been made public, and for good reason: it would be counterproductive for phantom thieves to operate outside of the shadows.
Word of them and their deeds, however, has garnered the attention of the masses and traction on the Inter-Knot, effectively making them an urban legend of sorts. Despite this, only a select few know the true identity of its members.
Steal from the Rich, Give to the Poor
Mockingbird's goal is akin to that of the real-world legendary hero, Robin Hood.
This is in the sense that they target the shrewd elites and high society of New Eridu, dismantle their corrupt businesses from the inside out, plunder their riches, and give them to those who are actually in need.
Mockingbird Members
Mockingbird Faction Roles
- Founder/Leader: Hugo Vlad
- Member/Apprentice: Vivian Banshee
- Co-Founder/Former Member: Von Lycaon
Hugo Vlad is the Founder and Leader
Hugo Vlad is the founder of Mockingbird and functions as its overall leader and head thief. As a master phantom thief, Hugo is equally as dashing, charming, and eloquent as he is conniving, scheming, and deceitful.
A large portion of Hugo's past remains under wraps, but it may contribute to his violent and volatile tendencies. During these tendencies, Hugo disappears and his whereabouts remain unknown for an extended period of time.
The Illegitimate Son
As revealed in the Season 1 Epilogue, Bury Your Tears in the Past (A), Hugo's full name is Hugo Vlad Ravenlock. He is an illegitimate son of the noble Ravenlock family, where its children would be pitted against each other to be the family's next heir.
Hugo was subject to abuse and mockery as a child, ridiculed and discriminated by his “pureblood” siblings, and forced to commit atrocities in the name of his father.
Growing up, Hugo only ever had a close connection to his now late sister, Serena, whom he was accused of murdering.
The Founding of Mockingbird
Sometime later, Hugo somehow managed to escape the clutches of his abusive family and wandered aimlessly for a while until he was taken in by a man named Jack.
Under Jack's tutelage, he was trained in the ways of the phantom thief alongside a hulking Wolf Thiren named Lycaon, with whom he shared a close partnership. They worked together seamlessly and got along fairly well.
When Jack passed away peacefully, it fell on their shoulders to carry on his legacy, firmly establishing the organization with one goal and one goal only: to steal from the rich and give to the poor. This organization was ultimately named Mockingbird.
Retribution and Emancipation
In a fit of rage and vengeance, Hugo set out to decimate the Ravenlock family. The result was brutal and gruesome that ended with Hugo surrounded by the dead bodies of his former family.
Lycaon witnessed this firsthand and, horrified by what he saw, swore to cut off contact with Hugo and leave Mockingbird.
Bury Your Tears With The Past (A) Guide
Vivian Banshee is an Apprentice Thief
Vivian Banshee is Hugo's apprentice and a master thief in the making. A jack of all trades, she specializes in a wide array of fields from ordinary skills for blending into society to more illicit ones such as lockpicking, pickpocketing, and social manipulation.
Vivian holds her head high when in the midst of New Eridu's high society, effectively blending into them, but keeps her gaze low and sharp, carefully observing their behavior to look for opportunities to further the faction's goals.
Vivian is very stoic, sometimes downright emotionless. She maintains a mysterious composure and likes to throw curious strangers off-track. She also tends to be snappy towards people...save for one person and one person only.
Most Faithful Devotee of Lord Phaethon
Of all the things about Vivian that people can misconceive, there is one thing they must always get right: she is Phaethon's most loyal and most faithful follower.
Everything Vivian does is always in the name of her beloved Lord Phaethon, who she claims saved her when she was at her lowest via a simple reply to one of her comments on a random Inter-Knot post.
Vivian's devotion has been reinforced in the Season 1 Epilogue, Bury Your Tears in the Past (B), after Phaethon awoke to their dormant powers of purifying Ether corruption and negated hers, effectively saving her life.
Tears of Misfortune
Though its origins remain unknown, Vivian has the supernatural ability to foresee a person's demise, which is denoted by tears streaming down her face.
It's also worth noting that Vivian cannot see anything else from the future besides the death of someone, which ultimately caused her to both be feared and discriminated against, and giving her the title of “child of misfortune”.
This is also a source of self-loathing for Vivian, as she has questioned herself time and time again why, of all the things she can foresee, did it have to exclusively be someone's end.
Raised by Exaltists
Vivian was originally an orphan until she was taken in by a man named Landon, who was an Exaltist. At the time, Landon was responsible for creating an early prototype of the Sacrifice serum that the Exaltists currently use.
However, his concoction was unstable. The Exaltists wanted Sacrifices with some semblance of human consciousness, but his experiments lacked it, so his research was immediately shut down.
Landon's Crimes
Landon conducted tests on live human subjects by deceiving them into voluntarily taking the serum. He would tell them only half-truths—that the serum would dramatically boost one's Ether aptitude but left out the part that it would also speed up Ether corruption.
He would select his victims from his small following by introducing them to Vivian. If she were to look at them and shed her tears of misfortune, they were considered “chosen” and they would receive his “blessing”.
Relationship with Dina
While growing up under the Exaltists' care, Vivian formed a close friendship with Landon's biological daughter, Dina. Together, they watched Landon bestow his “blessing” unto people and soon enough, Vivian became aware of what he was actually doing.
One day, Vivian looked at Dina and shed her tears of misfortune. Desperate to save face after his research was shut down, Landon agreed to inject his own daughter with the serum, but Vivian intervened.
Death of Landon and Rivalry with Dina
Upon stepping in to stop Landon from injecting the serum into Dina, Vivian looked at him and cried her tears of misfortune in front of his own following, which prompted him to either receive his own “blessing” or be revealed as a hypocrite.
Hesitating and refusing to do so forced Landon to reveal his true self and pull out a gun to try and kill everyone, to which Camille stepped in and killed Landon with his own pistol.
Dina, upon witnessing her father's death, vowed to get revenge on Vivian for taking away the only person she's ever loved and looked up to, thus starting a lifelong feud between the former friends.
Bury Your Tears With The Past (B) Guide
Von Lycaon is the Co-Founder
Von Lycaon is the charismatic and chivalrous leader of the Victoria Housekeeping Co. faction, and is the co-founder of Mockingbird alongside Hugo.
Due to an incident and unsettled differences with the latter, however, Lycaon cut ties with him and the syndicate, and started life anew.
A Warning and a Falling Out
When Hugo and Lycaon were both starting out, Jack had been aware of the former's volatile nature for a while. Though Lycaon's predatory instincts were still very prominent, Jack sensed that he was more in control than his partner.
One night, Jack pulled Lycaon aside to warn him of the potential threat that Hugo is capable of. Unbeknownst to the pair, Hugo listened in and was hurt by the accusation.
As a result, Hugo ran away and decided to settle the score with the Ravenlock family with the belief that justice is the end that justifies all means, including murder. Witnessing the gruesome aftermath, the two bitterly parted ways as their beliefs diverged.
Reparation and Reconciliation
In truth, it was Hartman, a low-ranking member of the Ravenlock family, who slaughtered them. While it did cross Hugo's mind to finish his own father, he was never the one who dealt the final blow.
When Lycaon got to the scene and saw his former partner surrounded by corpses, Hugo didn't bother to clear things up as the seed of doubt had already been planted into him by Jack.
With the truth finally revealed and things finally cleared up, the two reconciled, accepting that though they may differ in beliefs, they are still responsible for the choices they make. And so long as they don't become the monsters they swore to fight, that was enough.
