History
The Vacker Legacy • The Great Vacker Hurlfest
The Vackers are the most noble family among the elves. They are looked upon as idols due to their seemingly perfect features and their status. The Vackers are very good friends to the Ruewens. With an exception to Alvar, the Vackers support the Black Swan, with three of them being members of the order. The Vackers value their name and prestige. Because of this, Alvar’s betrayal, Fitz and Biana’s banishment, and the discovery of the troll hives have brought shame to the youngest generation of Vackers.
The Vacker Legacy[edit | edit source]
The Vacker Legacy described by Alvar Vacker turns out to be more of Luzia Vacker's legacy. Luzia Vacker formed a treasonous alliance with the trolls, helping and housing their hives on her property. Vespera claims that Luzia Vacker used her illusion techniques to hide the hives. Vespera also claimed Luzia Vacker might've been the reason for her jailing to distract and obscure her own doings.
Personalities[edit | edit source]
The Vackers may be a little obsessed with their legacy, so much so that they try to hide anything that would tarnish it. After Alvar’s betrayal, some of the other members of the Vacker family looked at Alvar and his family as failures to the Vacker name. They can be so obsessed with their legacy that they tried to cover up the fact that Fallon and Luzia Vacker are only half-siblings.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
The main characters in the series have pale coloring and dark hair, but the Vackers come with every hair color, skin color, feature shape, and body type. They are typically the "prettiest" of them all.
Home[edit | edit source]
Currently, the Vacker family resides at Everglen (other then Alvar whose whereabouts from Legacy is Candleshade ). According to Flashback, Everglen is an ancient property that Alden inherited from Luzia Vacker. After the inheritance, Alden had the estate renovated. The only remaining part of the original estate is the room Alden currently uses as his office.
Quotes[edit | edit source]
“You'll understand, someday, day when you see the Vacker Legacy for what it is.”
“The air in the room shifted, turning hotter and heavier each stare sent their way- a blast of searing judgement aimed at the family of Vackers who'd brought scorn upon the name. Fitz and Biana seemed to shrink under the weight of it, ducking their chins and picking up their pace as angry murmurs began to swell- starting as a low rustle and growing into a pounding thrum.”
