The Nightray Family is currently one of the Four Great Dukedoms that rule over Pandora's country, trumped in power only by the king. The Nightrays were once close allies with the Baskervilles, Duke Raymond Nightray having been a close and trusted companion of Oswald, the Glen Baskerville of the time. Following the Tragedy of Sablier, Jack Vessalius invited the Nightrays to join the Four Great Dukedoms because he wanted to be able to keep an eye on his enemies. Also, Jack accused Raymond of being a traitor, having allegedly helped rebels safely out of Sablier during the Tragedy to avoid conviction. This was untrue, but because of Jack's title as the hero of the Tragedy of Sablier, nobody questioned him. Jack also gave Raymond and the Nightrays a Door to the Abyss which was guarded by Raven, whom Jack knew wouldn't form a Contract with anyone because of Raven's connection with Gilbert, who was, at the time, in the Abyss, and so it was Jack's intention for the Nightrays to never be able to access their Door to the Abyss.

It has been clearly stated that they are the enemies, opposites, or rivals of the Vessalius Dukedom. The Nightray house is considered dark and evil due to their previous closeness with the Baskervilles 100 years ago, whereas the Vessalius house is considered "the light" due to being thought of as the heroes of 100 years ago. Currently, the family line is now extinct, with all those born as a Nightray deceased.

TriviaEdit

• The Nightray Family is known to prefer dogs to cats, although Claude prefers horses above all other animals.
• The Nightray Family is the largest known family within the Four Great Dukedoms, and yet is also the only family where all legitimate members of the family are deceased.
• As only the adoptive children of the Nightray Dukedom remain, Gilbert is rightfully meant to be the Duke of the Nightray Family; however it is unclear if he will claim this title.
