''H.I.V.E.'', which stands for the [[AcademyOfEvil Higher Institute of Villainous Education]], is a VillainProtagonist series by Creator/MarkWalden about, as the title suggests, a school for villains. The series consists of nine books (plus a short World Book Day story) but, due to NoExportForYou, the last six volumes have only been released recently in America. The author, Mark Walden, seems to enjoy his fanbase, and has a blog, a small forum, and a separate email account for fans.

''H.I.V.E.'', which stands for the [[AcademyOfEvil Higher Institute of Villainous Education]], is a VillainProtagonist series by Creator/MarkWalden about, as the title suggests, a school for villains. The series consists of nine books (plus a short World Book Day story) but, due to NoExportForYou, the last six of the nine volumes have only been released recently in America. The author, Mark Walden, seems to enjoy his fanbase, and has a blog, a small forum, and a separate email account for fans. Online, there is little evidence to show the books' popularity, but H.I.V.E.'s forum is bursting with enthusiastic members.

** [[PosthumousCharacter Xiu Mei]] is the wife of [[LoveMakesYouEvil Wu Zhang]] and the mother of [[GentleGiant Wing,]] as well as the programmer ("mother") of [[AIIsACrapshoot Overlord]]. In addition to referring to Xiu Mei as his mother, Overlord refers to [[BenevolentAI H.I.V.E.mind]] as his brother because they share a code base, and vice versa. H.I.V.E.mind's programmer/"father" is [[MotherlyScientist Professor Theodore Pike]]. Overlord has fourteen known sons, including [[EvilKnockoff Zero]], the twelve other clones introduced in book eight, and [[ScienceHero Otto]]. Otto was raised by [[FosteringForProfit Mrs. McCreedy]] along with [[SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome Tom]] and [[RoseHairedSweetie Penny]]. Otto seems on track to marry [[GadgeteerGenius Laura]], whose parents are Mary and Andrew Brand, and whose younger brother, Dougie, will likely be an Alpha as well once he is older. Shelby is also a likely candidate to enter the family via Wing.

** Bloodline only adds to this horrifyingly convoluted blood family. [[spoiler:Anna is a genetic combination of Otto and a Sinistre witch, likely Lucy Dexter. Lucy's mother is the daughter of the Contessa, who is the daughter of the Shadow Queen Francesca Sinistre.]]
** Between the two families, if we assume that Shelby and Laura are included, but exclude [[spoiler:Otto and Anna's unborn siblings]], that's a total of 25 people. It would be easier to name recurring characters who ''aren't'' in this group.

However, this is unlikely. As H.I.V.E.mind can only exist in either Otto's implant or his own data core, this would be subjecting Otto to a lifetime with him as a passenger. On top of that, H.I.V.E.mind knows that Otto wants nothing more than to be a normal human, and it is most likely that the instructions he sent to the Cradle were to make Otto a new body with no implant at all.]]
