Atop a hill behind a large intricate, wrought-iron gate lacquered the deepest hue of ebony is the home of the vampire Ace. The pebbled driveway is lined with white Roman columns, and the grounds are covered in all directions with the Family flower; tulips of every shade, size and delicacy.
The house itself is a massive white wooden plantation-style manor. The house stands three-stories tall and has a tower at the north most side. The four wings of the manor are inter-connected to ensure a square-shaped structure at the center of the dwelling. That is where a private garden can be found containing Ace's prized Dawn-to-Dusk tulips. The beautiful rare flowers surround a bronzed chariot and rider statue. The detailed statue bears a striking resemblance to Ace and was a gift from his Sire.
Within the manor, in the Great Room, hangs a tapestry sized portrait of the Dumont Family. At the center of the painting, seated in a high-backed chair is Ace Dumont, patriarch of the Family. Standing slightly behind him but more side-by-side is his Sire, CT Serafini, and Ace's Husband, Moon_Shadow. At Ace's right stands his Son, Draconis Novek, and at his left stands his Daughter, Labyrinth. To their sides, respectively, stand Jacomo Varis, Airey, Lannair Cuan, Kiara, Hwknight, Cormia, Syne, and Voltanis. The loyal Family's strength is apparent in the tilt of their heads and pride in the same secretive smile they share.
Below the portrait, etched into a golden plate with a delicate flowing hand, the Family motto reads "Fidelitas supremus totus alius"
