Edana's Students
 

For the curious:  last names are given where the author knows them.  Current location, and physical description come under the same heading -- you only get them if I know them.  (g)  Feel free to contact me with suggestions, mind you.  And all dates are given to the nearest decade unless Aidan's told me something more specific.

Thanks to Cpt. DeBrowe for much of the physical description on Surersh, Pravat, and Goiswinth, and for making me consider what I didn't realize I knew about Isoka.  

For those who work better with graphics than words, I've color/direction-coded the list, in addition. A beside the name indicates that the person in question is dead. A indicates they're still alive.

Found:  300 BCE Sparta, Greece.  Edana met Kyra when she lost a race to her in the Heralaneum (the women's Olympics).  Per the Watcher CD, Kyra died her first death at the hands of a jealous rival from the women's games; I just made her Edana's first student.

5' 8" or so, slim, blond, elegant, and quite prepared to take care of herself.  From the 6th season episode 'Patient No. 7'.

Currently working for the NSA and living in Rockville, MD (outside Washington, D.C.).
 
 
 
 

Found:  240 BCE in what is now the Ukraine.

At this time, I have no information on what he looked like or how he ended up with Edana.

Killed in 80 BCE by Marcus Aedilles (Roman immortal mentioned by Methos in the episode "Indiscretions.")
 
 
 
 

Found:  150 BCE on the Sinai Peninsula (now part of Egypt per my map).  Original name was David, son of Barak.

At this time I have no information on what he looked like or how he ended up with Edana.

Killed sometime in the 1940s by Owain Rhys-Tewdor, who bribed the guards at Auschwitz to have him released, then handed David a knife he was too weak to use.  His quickening was seen, if not quite believed, by Sol Goldberg, Connor MacLeod's current Watcher.
 
 
 
 

Found:  30 BCE in what is now Sri Lanka.

Appearance: coffee colored skin; dark hair in tight kinks close to the scalp when he hasn't shaved it off completely; dark eyes.  5' 9".  Built like a long-distance runner in need of a few meals and usually laden like a pack mule with most of his worldly possessions.  Well, discounting the bank accounts Portia (q.v.) manages for him.  

Occupation:  Currently a prospector.  Very much the loner of the family, and has wandered every corner of the world simply because he likes to see new things and because he generally prefers his own company to anyone else.  (Side note:  never challenge a man who can pack half again his own body weight out of a muddy gorge.  And never assume a man who's been hunting gemstones and rare woods for the last few centuries is broke, even if it looks like he knows each thread of his shirt by name as a personal acquaintance....)  Last seen at Damien's wedding in Charleston; no one expects to see him again for a few decades.  

Found:  40 CE in Siam (now Thailand).

Appearance:  dark olive skin, dark hair worn short, dark eyes, 5' 6" tall.  Built like an acrobat and has been one a few times in his life.  Always smiling, which worries his boss, since he's currently an engineer working on car safety.  (It worried people more when he was working as an undertaker.)  

Last seen/reported during the line war with Rhys-Tewdor.  He was in San Francisco visiting one of Edana's line-brothers:  another, younger, Thai immortal named Jarunsuk.  Currently living in Goteborg, Sweden.  
 
 
 
 

Found:  85 CE on Honshu (currently part of Japan).

No information on description or how she ended up with Edana.

Killed in 514 CE.  Her decapitated body was found, but no sword was recovered and her killer remains unknown.
 
 
 
 

Found:  135 CE in the Causcaus mountains near what is currently Georgia.  (No, not the United States. <g>)

Appearance:  Early 40s and ruggedly built; miner/ranch hand rugged, the kind of solid build that looks like it could pull a horse upright and a face that looks like he might have made bets on whether he could coldcock said horse....  Dark curly hair, a thick mustache and dark, sharp, amused eyes.  Definitely Slavic cast to the features.  Deep, rumbling voice.

Current location:  Helsinki, Finland, working as a buyer for an alcohol distribution agency.  Family claim to fame:  herbalist, superb cook, and the best massages, both pleasure and therapeutic, around.  Took the Hipocratic oath centuries back and will teach any and all of the above to anyone who wants to learn.  
   
 
 

Found:  210 CE in Genoa, Italy.

5' 10" tall with golden hair and a build best described as statuesque; speculation ran rampant during her mortal life that she was the daughter of a Gallic slave and a Roman.  Pronounced jaw and long nose of a Roman; height and coloring of a Gaul.  Rather... earthy, even for Edana's line and working on educating one of the new students on sensuality.  First email to be posted on the Eyrie later.  

Current location:  Berne, Switzerland, working in banking as a senior account executive handling several family accounts and a few that aren't family.

I have no information on how she ran into Edana and ended up studying with her.

 
 
 

Found:  330 CE in Alexandria, Egypt.  She and Edana both enjoyed the philosophers around the Library of Alexandria, although Edana was arguing with them and Duathor was seducing them.

5' 2", wiry and dark-skinned, with deep brown eyes and a mass of blue-black hair, Duathor is as feline as her favorite goddess, Bast.

Currently living in Kobenhavn, Denmark and working as a potter.
 
 
 
 

Found:  420 CE in Galway, Ireland.  A rogue and a scoundrel, but other than that, your guess may well be as good as mine.

5' 5", curly red-brown hair, fair skinned and freckled.  Muscular, acrobatic, and prone to play practical jokes, which may be why he's studying quarks and string theory.  Using the name Flynn Raymond; usually uses Flynn O'Doherty.

Location:  Honolulu, Hawaii, teaching quantum physics and aikijutsu.
 
 
 
 

Found:  475 CE in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland.  At a guess, Edana found her while headed toward Skye, but I'm making no bets.

5' 4" tall, brown-gold hair which tends to change shade depending on how much she's outside and blue eyes which don't change at all.   Full of mischief and prone to straight-faced, dry humor.  Her love life is, per Aidan, 'a bit...tempestuous.'

Current name unknown.  Living in Adelaide, Australia, and putting her bossy streak to good use, as one of her sisters put it; she's an orchestra conductor.
 
 
   

Found:  602 CE near what is now Stuttgart, Germany.  As to how Edana found her and trained her?  Well, every teacher has students where they just shake their heads and change the subject:  Goiswinth is one of Edana's.  The most I can get out of her is 'Never ask for peace and quiet--you might get it.'

Appearance:  6' 1" and constantly trying to look shorter; thick blond hair always up in braids, blue eyes, fair skin, and much more blatantly female than she's comfortable with.  

No current name known; currently teaching elementary school in Utah, the States.  
 
 
 

Found:  694 CE near York, England.  No idea how she and Edana ran into each other.

A tall, solidly muscled Saxon woman, blond hair and blue-grey eyes.

She found Damiano in 909 and began his training.  Killed in 911 when she lost a challenge.  Darius sent word to Edana, who took over Damiano's training a few months later.
 
 
 
 

Found:  780 CE in Trondheim, Norway.

Details on this one are fairly sketchy, I'm sorry to say.  He had a formidable reputation, to the point that Lim Mahn, who is only a couple centuries old, knew of him, but no one has told me what the man looked like.  Had an affinity for earth, and was known to be able to punch through rock, but never could teach the rest of his siblings how to do it.  Flynn's (q.v.) best friend.

Killed in 1884 during the battles for control of Khartoum and the Sudan.  Beheaded as a spy, unfortunately, although I've no idea if he actually was spying, or if he was simply the wrong color in the wrong place at the wrong time.
 
 
 
 

Found:  909 CE in Switzerland, north of what's now Lichtenstein.  Studied with Aelfgyfu (q.v.), until she died in 911.  Darius sensibly passed him along to Edana since his rough edges still needed quite a bit of smoothing.

5' 9" tall, 200 lbs, solid muscle wrapped around a constant temper.  Gold skin, dark red hair (wavy when short), and green eyes.  The general consensus is that he looks like an offensive line for a football team...by himself.

Currently living in Charleston, South Carolina, and working as an independent contractor and computer programmer.  Been known to hack on the side from sheer boredom.
 
 
 
 

Found:  950 CE in Istanbul, not ten years after Edana had turned Damiano loose.  She still swears the two of them in succession should have faded even an immortal's hair to grey.

Honey and ivory skin; brown-black hair to mid-back that's frequently sun-reddened, and usually in a thick braid; and tipped, almond-shaped, light ale-brown eyes.  Body of a dancer, posture of a artist's model, and soul of an imp.  The only things marring the perfection are a very visibly broken nose and the impending sense of havoc that looms around him.  And yes, the mischief is quite, quite deliberate.

Was working as an insurgent/rebel in the Sahara and along the Moroccan border.  Now he's in Charleston, South Carolina with Damien, Farrell, and Stormy, and I'm wondering how well the city is holding up.  Probably setting up smuggling routes out of Tblisi , Georgia again now that Jirina Petesceu is dead.  Doesn't smuggled weapons or recreational drugs. Anything else (truffles, roses, coffee, or blue jeans) is a fair target.
 
 
 
 

Found:  1159 CE in the Serengeti.

6' 3", a whippet-thin woman, her skin black enough to sometimes seem blue-tinged.  Keeps her hair cropped close for convenience, and is acknowledged to be the best runner in the family.  Has a fondness for spear rather than sword, and is a devout Christian.

Was briefly living in Charleston, South Carolina, working free-lance for S&S Security and Investigations (i.e., for Damien's lady, Sylvana Storm).  Currently wandering the U.S. with Var Rodriguez (q.v.) and planning to open a pirate cruise line with him, running triangle tours between Florida, Jamaica, and New Orleans.
 
 
 
 

Found:  1224  CE in Leeds, England.  Edana met him when she cut him down from the tree.  A local noble hadn't taken kindly to the satire Terrence composed....  (Yes, the Watcher CD assigned him another teacher; oops?)

5' 11" or so, curly greying hair, close cropped, and a wicked sense of humor.  Spent centuries as a bard and has a talent for words and a tendency to slip into storyteller mode.  A very pleasant man, actually, when he's not having romantic problems.

Currently living in Tacoma, WA, and I have no idea what he's doing for a living.  (Opinions, suggestions?  Advertising, maybe, or marketing?)  Married to Carolyn Marsh (nee Carol Ann Marshak), a highly successful romance writer.
 
 
 
 

Found:  1279 CE in Algiers.  He was born in Barcelona, swept overboard in 1276, washed ashore in Algiers.  Edana found him working his way along the coast as a mercenary in 1279.  (At least, that's the story that gets told to outsiders.)

5' 9", slim, and a very erect posture that makes people think he's a bit taller still.  Sandy hair that goes gold in the sun, dark blue eyes, and a thin, fine-featured aristocratic face.  Disa's favorite brother.

Was working in Caracas, Venezuela, in shipping; now traveling the U.S. with Mandisa and discussing what to do next.  The consensus seems to be setting up a pirate cruise line in the Caribbean.  They're looking into the business details on it.
 
 
 
 

Found:  1330 CE living in the delta of the Niger river on the Bight of Benin.  What Aidan was doing down there is beyond me; I try not to ask, some days.

Appearance:  5' 6" tall, full-breasted, wide hips, and tends to move slowly except in fights.  Dark chocolate skin, black hair, dark brown eyes.  Loves brilliantly colored clothes because no one ever thinks she might own dark greys for sneaking around.

Currently owns and runs a bar on Martinique and has no compunctions about playing up the slow island speech for better tips.  

Found:  1390 CE on Jawa.

5' 5" and extremely muscular across the shoulders and torso.  Add in a very determined stride and the (frequently unflattering) comparison to a tank becomes more understandable.   Golden skin, black hair, and brown eyes.

Killed in 1997 in Australia by Will Moran and Johannes Engeles, who took her on two to one.  One of the early casualties of the line war.
 
 
 
 

Found:  1440 CE on Hawaii.  Again, your guess is as good as mine as to what Edana was doing there.

Description:  5' 7" tall, with black hair worn long from a disinclination to bother with haircuts.  Honey colored skin, and barely darker eyes.  An apparently average build which is solid muscle.  An easy grace to her movements and a low, lovely voice with a very lyrical accent.  Current name:  unknown.  Gets along well with Flynn (q.v.).

Current whereabouts:  in retreat on Holy Ground in the Dove's Cote, northwest of Donegal, Ireland, mourning a recently deceased husband (Tani).
 
 
 
 

Found:  1590 CE in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  The only thing Edana ever says about what she was doing there is, and I quote, "The Spanish didn't like the English in those days.  In 1590, neither did I."

Description:  Dark hair and dark brown eyes.

Killed in 1648 when she tried to take in and help a smaller, slighter immortal:  Kenny.
 
 
 
 

Found:  1757 CE in what's currently southwestern Oklahoma.  At a guess, Edana was exploring the North American continent, since she believed Methos might be dead.

Description:  a tall, rangy Osage warrior.  Approximately 6' 2", 170 lbs, and Aidan refered to him as 'gorgeous.'  A nasty fighter with knife and spear.

Killed in 1763 by Melvin Koren (Kronos) while Edana was making a trip to a Spanish settlement for supplies.  A slow, painful death, from what she found of his body.  She tracked Koren almost two hundred miles before she lost his trail.
 
 
 

Found:  1800 CE in Washington, D.C.  Since that's the year it became the national capital for the United States, that might explain what they were both doing there....

Description:  5' 6", with copper hair and hazel eyes, and a bit broader through the shoulders than was acceptable to fashion in those days.  Aidan says she was a frontier girl come to D.C. for the culture and better marriage prospects.  She and Marcus Constantine were lovers for a little over a year before she died.

Killed by one of Luther's students in 1915, at Owain Rhys-Tewdor's instigation.
 
 

Found:  in Philadelphia, PA by Christopher Henslowe (line of Rhys-Tewdor, now deceased) in 1996.  Henslowe knifed Marc in the back and took him back to Canada as his 'student'.  Within a few months, he'd decided Marc wasn't going to make it in the Game and started training him as bait for a trap.  Aidan took him on as a student in February of 1998; Methos killed Henslowe that same afternoon.

Description:  6' 3",  with amber eyes, dark, loosely curling hair, and light brown skin.  Still slender but they're putting muscle on him.  Fights lefthanded with bastard sword for now (too many bad habits trained into him with katana).

Currently studying with Aidan in Seacouver, and officially her 'research assistant.'
 
 

In total,

9 dead & 17 alive
 

Note well:  This list does NOT include students where Edana has only helped with their training, such as Alexandrias, Xenokrates, or Rich Ryan.
