| - The Fellowship is named for Saint Giles, the patron saint of lepers and outcasts. The Fellowship helps its members control their urges, support each other, and fight the vampires who infected them. In Death Masks, a member of the Blackened Denarius recognized Susan Rodriguez as a member because of her markings. They have mystic tattoos that are a binding, a spell cut into the skin to hold the darkness inside, grant them more restraint. And to warn them when it's rising, usually when they expend too much strength and are in danger of losing control. Normally the tattoos are not visible, but as the person uses the abilities their partial transformation gives them they begin to change. They initially are black and seem to swirl on the skin. As the Fellowship member reaches the danger zone, the tattoos turn red. They are allied with the White Council in the War against the Red Court, but have little communication with them. In Changes, they're described as a collection of the supernatural world's misfits and outcasts, many of them being half-vampires. They hate the Red Court with a passion and do everything they can to confound them. They operate in cells, chose targets, train recruits, plant bombs—basically like terrorists. They fund their operations through many shady business activities.
