Si vous voulez en savoir plus sur l'histoire de ce clan, en voici les débuts.

*-*-*
Tout commence vraiment quand l'archéologue français Jules Montigny est finalement porté disparu avec sa jeune assistante de 18 ans, quelque part en Europe centrale. Quelques jours plus tard, dans le plus grand secret, arrivent au manoir familial deux mystérieuses caisses. Elles contiennent plusieurs documents, certains de la main du professeur Montigny, et deux oeufs énormes, sur le point d'éclore. Isidore Montigny, 30 ans, dilettante grâce à la fortune de sa regrettée mère, prend connaissance des documents et découvre l'existence des gargouilles, leur présumé annihilation durant les sombres heures du moyen-âge, et la nature exacte des deux oeufs que lui lègue dans l'urgence son défunt père... Certains documents sont des extraits de livres très anciens, d’autres sont des traductions de gravures sur les murs de cavernes depuis longtemps oubliées. Le professeur révèle que les deux œufs proviennent d’un Nid de gargoyles très ancien, mais n’explique pas comment ils ont survécu au passage du temps. Par contre, il décrit exactement quels équipements acheter pour les amener a éclosion, et la méthode a suivre. Nous sommes à Paris, au début des années 60.
Lorsque les oeufs éclosent quelques années plus tard, Isidore est préparé. Il a confié la fortune de sa mère à Jacques, un ami, véritable génie des affaires, pour le placer sagement. Il a virtuellement isolé la propriété familiale du reste du monde, en vue d'éduquer les deux créatures à l'écart de la convoitise des hommes, selon les souhaits de son père. Il va leur consacrer sa vie entière, leur apprenant les choses de la vie, assurant leur instruction. Il les appelle son garçon et sa fille, ils sont comme ses enfants. Il les voit grandir, mûrir, s'aimer. Puis il finit par réaliser qu'il n'est pas éternel, et que les voir grandir au ralenti comme tout ceux de leur race lui a fait oublier l'avancée inexorable du temps. Avec son génie, Jacques lui a permit de créer la Fondation Montigny pour le Savoir Universel, une organisation multinationale humaniste, visant une large variété de recherches.
Il a donc récemment décidé qu'il était temps de leur préparer un avenir sans lui, et commence à les enjoindre à explorer l'extérieur. Mais au fond de lui, il sait qu'il se passera un peu de temps avant qu'ils ne soient tout à fait prêts... Et le vieil homme attend quelque chose, une intervention extérieure peut-être, qui lui enlèverait ce souci.

-EN- Clan's Background
If you want to know more about the clan's story, here are the beginnings.
text written by Amaury, the creator of the clan.
The Paris Clan is based in an old private mansion owned by Isidore Montigny, head of the Montigny Foundation for Universal Knowledge.
Both Delacroix and Absinthe were born here, and think of Isidore as their father. Mélusine came in a little after and was raised with them. Morphine and Grimm integrated the clan much later.
In Paris there's a lot to be done : low smugglers, organized crime... And strange things happening because of one "Nightstone Unlimited" corporation and her mysterious owner, Dominique Destine.
But the clan can travel through France and Europe as well, thanks to the ressources of the Foundation. And in the dark forests of central europe, old secrets dwell, bounded to the very origins of Delacroix and Absinthe... And the fate of Isidore's father, the archeologist Jules Montigny, is yet to be discovered.
------
Everything begins when french archeologist Jules Montigny is reported missing along with his young assistant, Anne Darmont, during an expedition in Central Europe. Some days later, in secret, two mysterious crates are delivered at the familial manor. Everything indicates they travelled from the village near the last know location of professor Montigny. In the crates are two huge stonelike eggs and a bunch of documents, some of them from the very hand of Jules Montigny.
His son Isidore, 30 years old at the time, has no obligation to ever work thanks to his late mother's incredible fortune. He starts reading the documents and learns all about gargoyles. How they were slain during the middle-ages, how history forgot them and turned them into myth. Some of the documents are pages of ancient books, some are translations of texts carved in the rock of some god-forsaken cavern. The papers explain that the two eggs are indeed gargoyles eggs, but do not explain how they survived. But the professor asks his son to take care of them as if they were his children, and even explain how to do it, what equipment has to be used to allow the eggs to hatch. We're in Paris, during the sixties.
When the eggs hatch a few years later, Isidore starts honoring his father's wishes. The manor is virtually isolated from the outside world. He has asked Jacques, a friend of him and a real business genius, to fund the money wisely. He can now educate the newborns, with all the love and devotion a single father can give.
-ALMOST FORTY YEARS LATER-
Isidore is an old man. Absinthe and Delacroix are the equivalent of twenty-years-old young persons, and they want to go out and see the world.
Jacques' genius permitted the creation of the FMSU, "Fondation Montigny pour le Savoir Universel", (or MFUK, "Montigny Foundation for Universal Knowledge"). It is a humanist, multinational trust aimed at a large variety of researchs.
It is time for the Paris Clan to spread his wings and gloriously fly upon the lights of the city at night.
