Teague O'Connel is a member of Verbena and a self-styled bard.
Overview[]
Teague was estranged from his family for being gay, and later contracted HIV. He made money by performing as a harpist at Renaissance Fairs, and his Ren-Fair friends were a surrogate family for him.[1]
Teague was recruited by Robin while performing on Halloween in 1993. Robin saved him from a couple of gay-bashers who had assaulted him, and told him that Verbena could heal Teague of AIDS.[2] He was later brought to a chantry along with Jon Fairmont, Aileen Wilkinson, Deborah Gray, Kameria Shula, and Takoda Walking-Bear to be initiated into the Tradition.
During training, Teague had a vision of a past life in which he was a Celtic bard fighting the Romans.[3] Before the coven's Lammas celebration, Teague and the others were subjected to a mock kidnapping in order to fully Awaken then.[4]
While celebrating Beltaine at New Hope Farm in 2003, Teague and his coven-mates discovered a dying cu sith.[5] The following Midsummer, he participated in training a new group of initiates, and then took part in the ritual murder of Jon in order to revitalize the Node beneath the farm.[6]
