The Nightshade family is one of the main families in the series. The family is from Ancient Greece and has been living there since the time of the Primals, and are even descendent of one of them (Aikaterina). They (and anyone else of that bloodline) also are all Witches/Warlocks. They are the bloodline responsible for the creation of Vampires and Hosts and possibly other creatures. Aikaterina is the procreator of the family and is the Doppelgänger of her grand-daughter, Cynthia. Another famous tie of the family is to The Alliance, founded and run by Adrastos. The family are all capable of mind-manipulation and many go dark because of how extreme they study the magic. Also, the family possess vampire traits and are known to have to feed of human blood, though a lot less then average vampires.
Traits
Appearance
All Nightshades seem to have extremely black hair, the same colour as night. They also can change their eye colour to black because of the Primal blood and their allegiance, which tends to be dark. Otherwise, it has been seen likely for them to have Sapphire blue eyes. When hungry, they are able to extend vampire-like fangs to feed, though these are longer and sharper than a normal vampires.
Personality
The Nightshades are best known for their dark (and stubborn) personality. They nearly always have the ability to turn of their humanity, making it easier for them to get what they want. Always one person per generation is seen to have the stubbornness of the family, which has been described as "deadly persistence". They'll go to any lengths to get what they need, no matter what. Nightshades are known to also be very whitty, sarcastic and hot-headed. They know how to kill in the cruellest ways and aren't known for their forgiving nature and, never, ever losing a grudge. They are, however, protective of loved ones and break their word if it's for their safety. They are also some of the best strategest among the Supernatural and are also very intellectual.
