There are initially four immortals in the series (although one doesn't know it). In The Key, Neriah is made immortal by Matt.
[edit] Lorian
Lorian is the head of the Guardians of Time, and the Tribunal. He was the first-born of two immortals; Lathenia and Dartemis are his siblings. Although he was born a man, he chose to become sex-less, in order that he may make unbiased disisions. It is implied that he harbours a secret love for Lady Arabella. He secretly fathered Arkarian in an attempt to create a new immortal.
[edit] Lathenia
Lathenia is the leader of the Order of Chaos. She rules from her palace of crystall and ice, as her weakness is fire, which although it cannot kill her, will hurt her. She is the soul-mate of Marduke, and vows to avenge him when she sees what his time in the Middle realm, cause by Ethan, did to him.
[edit] Dartemis
Dartemis is know to some as a magician of Legend, thought to be nothing more than Myth, or someone long dead. He was the youngest of the Immortal Triplets, while Lorian and Lathenia fought for first place, he remained content to come out third. The other two knew that he had great power, and ergo they both wanted him on their side. Lorian won him over, and convinced him to hide out until the time was right for him to make an entrance. Lathenia thought that Lorian had Killed Dartemis so that she couldn't use his power. Until the End of Key, he remains in him palace at the very edge of the Universe, the only place Lathenia wouldn't be able to sense her brother. He left once to sire Matt

This leads him to think that he is a failure, and isn't Named, even though the prophecy says that he will lead them. In The Key he leaves Earth to visit his birth father, Dartemis, to learn the ways of immortality. Upon his arrival he imbues Neriah with the Gift of Immortality given to him by his father.
