Sinclair Family

"A family? That's right! What I wish for more than anything is a family. A family name that will last for all eternity, a family name that will make the Earth and Hell tremble, defending the Church and protecting the maidens from the devil! Haha what more could a man ask for?"

- Original Sinclair The Sinclair family is a major family to appear in DxD Dragons of the Apocalypse, being the main family of one of the two main protagonists, Erik Sinclair and a notable family of magical exorcists who aid in defending the church and others against enemies, most notable fallen angels, devils, and demons. Clair the Saint later gained the title and became the progenitor of the Sinclair family after he saved King Richard from a group of demons who attempted to kill him in order to set up their own puppet King, as a result of his actions he became a saint and died a very wealthy man later creating the Sinclair family to pass on his name.

The Legend of Clair
The Sinclair family starts with Clair, a poor boy in Italy who instead of taking on his family trade decided to wander the world in search of knowledge and wisdom, he later learned the secrets of magic from a magician however he rejected the form of magic stating he hated that it wasn't spiritual enough and mimicked the magic of devils. He later figured out how to create a special form of magic called white magic, that would allow him to maintain his religious beliefs while also defending the innocent and powerless from evil. He then used this magic to exorcise numerous devils and evil spirits for a series of decades.

When he was later found by King Richard who requested he join the crusades, Clair declined the offer even when threatened to be thrown in prison. He then came across knowledge while stumbling outside of a bar of three devils who were conspiring to murder the king in order for their own power. Clair using his magic stopped the assassination attempt and was later brought before the King who offered him anything he liked. He instead asked for a peaceful life and a family, having gained all the knowledge he believed possible from this world.

At the end of his life he found a unique form of magic known as Ancestral Magic that would allow him to live on through his family instead of passing onto Heaven or Hell. He then called all his children and grandchildren forward and used a spell to link them together. To seal the magic he made them promise that they would always protect the Church over the King, Good over Evil, and Knowledge over Powers. Due to his actions later in history he became known as a minor Saint, St. Clair before being modernized as Sinclair.

Summary
The Sinclair family has existed for centuries and while they defended the King during times crisis they were more loyal towards the Church instead. This changed in the 1500s when they allied with King Henry over the Catholic Church and thus became a important family among the Church of England, slaying devils and evil spirits, and protecting the royal family. This family then grew into what became known as a Coven, taking in smaller magician covens or exorcist families and making them Sinclair by name and then by blood. The current head of the family has been in power for over two decades, fathering four children and plans to retire giving the household to the child with the most proficiency in the family's magic.

There used to be a branch family in America however after World War 1 this family disbanded due to the scandal in the Supernatural world that they were colluding with stray devils for their own power.
