Ravenshade Society leader Victor Caelum fell in love with Abigail Whitman under a pseudonym but was forced to leave due to family pressure. Abigail went to Eastern Europe to search for him after becoming pregnant, but was beaten and silenced by Victor's marriage partner Aurora Sinclair. Heartbroken, she falsely claimed that the child's father was not Victor. As the misunderstanding between the two was about to be resolved, Victor was killed by the Aurora family.
