Keri Prescott (Fairuza Balk)
Keri Prescott was a goth-girl and mid-level witch. Despite her penchant for dressing in black, Keri
was the most upbeat and optimistic member of Patrick's earlier crew, probably because it was the
first place she felt accepted for what she was. Keri relied on her magic whenever possible in an
encounter. She was naturally very powerful, just untrained, and Peter St. James was starting to train her before
the group's fatal battle at the Paradise Theater. Patrick had assumed that Keri had been killed but
in reality the Dusk Lord Talan recognized her sorcerous potential and turned her into a Dusk Lord.
She recently resurfaced in the company of Talan as his apprentice. When Talan was killed, Keri took his
body and used it to awaken an ancient being, now revealed as the vampire goddess Sekhmet. Transformed by
frequent consumption of Skehmet's blood Keri eventually became a new form of vampire and after Sekhmet's
defeat she became a member of the Circle of the Black Thorn. Keri was inside the Wolfram & Hart building
when it was destroyed and it is unknown if she survived or not.

Sekhmet (Hudson Leick)
In Egyptian mythology Sekhmet was a bloody war goddess, prone to acts of great violence. In reality, she is one of
the earliest vampires ever created, perhaps even the first one (even she does not remember for sure). In ancient
times Sekhmet and her followers carved a bloody swath across what would eventually become Egypt and northern Africa
before being stopped by the sun god Ra and his followers. Imprisoned in a sarcophagus, Sekhmet was buried deep in
the ground in a distant land far from Egypt. Unfortunately that land is currently the location of the city of Los
Angeles and Sekhmet's sarcophagus was uncovered by the Dusk Lord Talan and his apprentice Keri Prescott almost a
year ago. Keri was able to awaken Sekhmet using the liquified remains of Talan after the Dusk Lord was killed.
Since awakening Sekhmet has been acclimating herself to modern society and has now begun a campaign to unite her
scattered children (vampires) and cleanse them of the curses that have weakened them over the millenia since she
last walked the Earth.

Jennifer Guerrin (Tina Majorino)
Jennifer Guerrin comes from a broken home. Her father abused her and her mother, and her mother did nothing about it. What makes Jennifer
different from hundreds of other teenage girls in the greater Los Angeles area is that her dreams came true, frequently. Though she did not
know it, Jennifer was the mystical Daughter of the Moirae (Fates). Unlike most psychics, Jennifer didn't just dream about things that were
to come, her dreams actually altered the future to match what she dreamed. Even the most set in stone ancient prophecies could be completely
undone by one of Jennifer's dreams. Jennifer was not really aware of her power, except when one of her dreams involved someone she knew. That
changed the day she finally tired of her father's abuse. She wished her parents would be gone, wished it harder than she ever had before, and
that night she dreamt of her father killing her mother and then himself. And the next day it happened, just as she'd dreamed it. Jennifer ran
away but word of her abilities spread through the Los Angeles occult community and several different parties, including Wolfram & Hart,
pursued her hoping to control her powerful abilities for their own ends. In the end she was tricked into crafting a prophecy that cancelled
out her own powers. Jennifer was rescued by Patrick and the others and she
has now taken up residence in the East Hills Teen Shelter until she can figure out what to do with her life.
