Necromancy Family Overview and Wanted Lines
The Cain Family fled from Ireland in the early 1840s during the Potato Famine. Initially Cormac Cain, the second son of settles in New York City as did most immigrants, but city life didn’t suit him. Oh a whim he hopped a train south with all of his worldly belongings and didn’t stop moving until he ended up in Louisiana. He ignored the talk of The Swamp Witches as he traveled from Louisiana down into the Bayou, but Swamp witches were exactly what he found there. Incidentally he married one. Yazmina Thibodaux, now Yazmina Cain (whom Mina was named after) was the oldest daughter of an old Cajun family that dated back to some of the first French settlers that tried to work the swamp. The Children of Yazmina and Cormac helped spawn a great magical family graced with the gift of Necromancy, Cormac having married into the one of the Eight Great Families of Witchcraft.
For the most part the Cains kept to themselves, eventually branching out from the Bayou and moving into New Orleans and the times changed. When the fighting began between Lazarus and Harmony, The Necromancers began to get a bad name. This cause tension to rise and animosity to grow between the Cains and the other seven.For decades, even up until The Incident, the Necromancers were naturally distrustful towards their magical brethren and remain so until this day.
