Neal Freire
Age: ~16 Date of birth: February 29th Height: 1.72 Hair: Blue Eyes: Red with concentric circles Occupation: High school student Unusual features: Eye Patch Ability: Travel Nirvana Freire, or more commonly called "Neal" is a servant of the Navarus family and a junior student at Arzew Academy. He is a member of Carne's student council. He has an episodic first meeting with Lark, which leads to the creation of hostility between them. Nirvana's mother was a member of the Sermenys house, a pureblood vampire house that has immense financial power. The Sermenys try to maintain the purity of their bloodlines by marrying only other pureblood vampires. The concentric circles of Nirvana's eyes should not be possible if he was a child of two pureblood vampires, so Nirvana was considered a product of adultery. Being a disgrace to the household, the head of the Sermenys house had Nirvana locked up indefinitely. While imprisoned, Nirvana's only wish was to leave the world. When he was around 12 years old, he developed, all by himself, the ability to "travel" to a place unrelated to Crepuscule. When Nirvana first used his ability, he escaped his jail cell and appeared in front of Ratatusk Navarus. Since Navarus is a first generation, he wasn't born in Crepuscule, and therefore met the condition of Nirvana's ability in order to 'travel' to him. Navarus kept the boy as a servant. He educated the boy, used a magic barrier to seal Nirvana's ability and planted his curse ability in him, when the boy was a junior in Arzew Academy. As a slave to the Navarus house, Nirvana was forced to assist Setz and Carne. A young Carne found "Nirvana" too difficult to pronounce so she started calling him "Neal". Around the time Setz was in middle school, Neal used his ability to follow Navarus, when he was showing Setz the corpse of Elize Trenkel Navarus. Neal then overheared Navarus explaining to Setz that he was alive in the womb of his mother's corpse for 500 years. Neal never went to middle school, but he was able to attend Arzew high school, after Carne repeatedly begged Navarus about it, calling Neal pitiful. (Source: Crepuscule Wikia)
