Chi-Lan also known as Pearl the Far Seeing is a Chinese mystic turned vampire. Dolma of the Temple Atop the Mountain gave her her blood and since that night Chi-Lan has used her powers of foresight to aid The Conclave of Nine in their goals.
Each vampire, no matter who created them or the bloodline they come from, has their own dark power. Alric has the power of shapeshifting, Theo the power to turn to mist, Chi-lan is the power of prophecy.
Most distrust her within The Nine as she is one of two Children of Lamia within the small sect. Those that remain are branded rebels and anarchists and it is unclear of Chi-Lan's real goals.
She is a hedonist at heart so maybe she purely loves the thrill of defying the orders of the First Consul.
Instruments of Darkness: Devourer of Souls is set in gaslit London, 1789 AD. It's a gothic horror story about secret societies, an Egyptian goddess of the underworld and a cable of vampires trying to save humanity from those that created them.
It's a dark historical fantasy that weave's it's way through London's forgotten water ways and ancient sewers, hidden temples and murderous cultists.
