Evelyn Danvers was born in England under the name of Evelyn Marian Lancaster, the eldest daughter of the wealthy couple William Henry Lancaster and Wilhelmina Derby. She was the first of six siblings, and because she was the firstborn, she was born with amazing powers. They weren't fully developed nor were they the most powerful, but she was happy being that way.
However, this Power was reserved for males; it was a gift given in full potency to the firstborn male, and, depending in the purity of the blood, more dilated to the other sons. It was rare that a girl inherited the Power, and when Evelyn did with no brothers to will the Power to, she was allowed to keep it.
The years went by, and two other girls were born into the Lancaster-Derby family, Morgain Guinevere and Brittany Avalon. But no sons. The last two girls didn't develop the Power, and Evelyn was happy to be able to keep hers.
But, finally, when she was five, a pair of identical twins came to the family; her brothers, the ones destined before birth to gain her powers, Gilbert Gawain and Kay Lancelot.
The father, William, didn't want to take the gift from his favorite, so he decided to let Evelyn keep it, until they were needed to fight. And in that time, supernatural forces were kept under control.
At least until the birth of the last child of the Lancaster clan, Robin Morgause, a girl that brought chaos with her.
At the same time she was born, an organization settled on the land of Salem, in the United States, trying to gain control over the normal people with their magic. But the organization didn't make its way to England until Evelyn had ascended, and had turned nineteen. The Order of the Hole Warlock became dangerous when the first murder was committed October 4th in 1981; John Patrick, the governor of Salem was killed with magic.
The power of this Order was so big, that a Covenant from Ipswich couldn't handle it just by themselves and, remembering the alliance of both countries in 1942, they asked William Lancaster to join them.
So the whole Lancaster family went to the United States, and there they soon met the four boys that were the Sons of Ipswich: James Danvers, Wayne Parry, Glenn Simms and Joseph Garwin. Evelyn wasn't a child anymore, and the instant her eyes fell upon James, she fell in love. He was captivated by the young British girl whose eyes turned as black as his.
William was too old to fight, he didn't have the strength to fight, and he was sure his daughter didn't either. There was only one chance left, but the consequences could be terrible and he didn't want to take the chance. But as the fight went on, the strength of the four Sons of Ipswich wasn't enough, and the choice had to be made: Evelyn had to will her powers to her brothers.
It was a known fact that the Power in boys was stronger than in a girl, as rare as it was to be given to a girl in the first place. So for Evelyn to will her power was the required action. But her father didn't want that. Not only because the Power was something that belonged to her, but also because it could kill her, as well as her brothers. It was a risky option. But she was prepared to take it, or so she thought, and one night, when she could sneak out of the room where she had been locked up, she did it.
And she almost died in the process.
But her brothers were alright, and they defeated the Order of the Hole Warlock. So the battle concluded with a happy ending, and William was preparing to go back to England with his family to his quiet life in London. But Evelyn wasn't. Evelyn wanted to stay in the United States, with James, because they were in love.
Despite being the 'favorite' of her father, he wasn't prepared to let his daughter marry a young and very reckless American teenager. Not only for James' lack of British class, but also for the very fact that he was an American and that he was very reckless with the Power. William knew of the consequences of continuous Using, but James didn't care and didn't want to listen to him.
Besides, there were strict laws about the relationships of high society London, and Evelyn was betrothed to a noble, and not to a nouveau rich boy despite how actually rich he was and how actually new he wasn´t. So William offered an ultimatum: she would go back to her country as Evelyn Marian Lancaster-Derby, or she would stay there without the name and forget everything about her family.
Evelyn didn't have to think twice about it. One night before their departure, she and James got married in secret with the help of the other Sons of Ipswich. And that was the end of her as a Lancaster, the change of surname the happy addition to her new lack of Powers.
Her youngest sister, Robin, was the only one that understood her. Brittany, Morgain and the twins agreed with their father and rejected her. Robin, on the other hand, knew how her older sister felt.
Robin was very young and Evelyn hated to be separate from her, especially when the youngest was starting to discover her new little powers. But both sisters made a vow. Despite how busy and married the elder was or how absent-minded and young the other was, both would always be in touch.
That was how Robin found out she was the aunt of a precious little boy named Caleb. That was how Evelyn found out about the unbearable addiction the Power had bestowed on her twin brothers. That was how Evelyn knew of her niece, a little demon named Aibhlinn Blair and that the little girl conserved the Lancaster name. That was how Robin knew about the new Sons of Ipswich, Reid, Tyler, Pogue and Caleb.
Robin and Evelyn finally met again during a month of vacationing in Switzerland, where Blair and Caleb met for the first time at age eight and nine. It was a relief to both sisters, since the husband of the elder had became completely addicted to the Power, and the younger was worried about the Power her daughter possessed.
The years passed and that was the last time Robin and Evelyn saw each other again. Robin wasn't allowed to leave the country nor could she physically; she had developed a weird connection with her land to stop the urge to Use whenever she wanted to and that kept her home. And Evelyn was in no condition to travel to Europe, since she had developed a need of alcohol to tolerate a life with the rapidly aging James Danvers.
But when Blair was seventeen, Robin sent her to the United States, thinking that maybe she could make her aunt feel better. After all, Evelyn was only ever surrounded by boys, and after the incident with the unknown fifth Son, Robin was sure all Evelyn needed was some time with a care-free and happy teenage girl.
The only problem was, the care-free and happy teenager didn't want to leave her beloved London behind nor did she want to attend some high society prep school in a little town off the map in a country as ugly as the United States
