GUARD OF VOLTERRA - MISSION SUMMONS

FOR: THE ADDRESSED, SEE BELOW.

WHERE: COSTA RICA/PANAMA. SOUTHERN CENTRAL AMERICA

ASSIGNMENT: LOCATE AND DISPOSE OF CRIMINAL BY THE NAME OF 'JOHAM'

CHARGED WITH: EXTREME REPEATED RISK OF SECURITY; IRRESPONSIBLE FRATERNIZING WITH HUMANS; ILLEGAL EXPERIMENTATION; CONTINUED CREATION OF HYBRIDS (HALF-HUMAN, HALF-VAMPIRE CREATURES) DESPITE THE RISK OF EXPOSURE TO HUMANITY

DETAILS: THE LAW (ONE MUST NOT REVEAL HIMSELF TO A HUMAN LEST HE FACE THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH) HAS RECENTLY EXTENDED TO INCLUDE 'LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO HUMAN INDIVIDUALS' AS A NEW CLAUSE.

WHILE THE VOLTURI SHALL DEIGN TO ALLOW THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF HYBRIDS (WITH CONTINUED PROOF OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS + ABIDANCE OF THE LAW) ANY PURPOSEFUL CREATION OF HYBRIDS WILL BE VIEWED AS A BREAKING OF THE LAW.

THIS FIRST STEP IS TAKEN TO CORRECT ALL OVERSIGHT IN THE CONTINUED ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW AND WILL SOON EXTEND TO ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY DECIDE TO ASSOCIATE WITH, AND NOT AROUND, HUMANITY. WITH THE CONTINUED DIGITIZATION OF THE MODERN ERA ALL PARTICIPATION IN HUMAN SOCIETY IS DEEMED ILLEGAL.

THIS CLAUSE IS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

- THE VOLTURI COVEN. 29 JULY, 2039


Attached are four letters. You will notice upon first glance the date on the corner of each. You will not open the first one until you arrive in Central America. Further instructions may be found inside. You will not open them out of order. You will not open the first where anyone else can see. They are for your eyes only and must be burned after reading.

Since the letters, and the instructions within, were designed over thirty years ago, many specifics have not been designated. Of course, while I had you in mind—as I always do for tasks such as these—I knew that the other key players in this mission would not be something I could decide beforehand. With the additions listed alongside your name, you are welcome to bring any others along. I understand some of our visitors have been excited to witness justice in action. You may bring whoever you desire. You may also leave anyone you desire. I trust your judgement.

There are many things, you see, that I cannot decide anymore.

Your mission is likely to be tedious, but it is simple: find Joham. Any offspring discovered alongside him are to remain unharmed. Unless, of course, they attempt to interfere with enforcement of The Law.

It's with great pride and excitement that I hand to you the most important mission of your career. Open the first letter once you land in Costa Rica. Respond only when successful. Use vague language and always speak as if being watched.

All my trust,

Aro
