BRIEF HISTORY: ( At least three paragraphs)
History: As a human:
Newland Latravis Strephon was the handsome eldest son of a wealthy Baron. At the age of six he was struck with a crippling disease that left him nearly paralyzed and always sickly. Tired of being so limited, Newland dedicated his life to searching for a cure, and at the age of twenty-three met a man named Lucius Moncreaff who appeared as an angel of salvation, offering Newland a cure for his disease…eternity in undeath. Newland scoffed the idea at first, but when the indifferent Lucius just shrugged and said that he could either take him up on the offer or else spend the rest of his life handicapped, Newland immediately agreed and allowed Lucius to turn him into a vampire. As soon as the process was complete, Newland’s body was like new but still on the mend, and for the first three years of his new vampiric existence he was confined to a wheelchair.
As a vampire:
Once Newland was completely healed he and Lucius moved out of their apartment and bought an old abandoned theatre building, known to vampires as the Soul Carnival. The Soul Carnival was very popular, offering refuge to renegade vampires who swore allegiance to Lucius.
Vampires came and went, but there were ten permanent tennants in all. Among them a young man named Silas Hadrian, who had run away from home after a tragic accident involving the death of his beloved sister. Silas and Newland became best friends, Newland saying he always thought of Silas fondly as a younger brother.
During the October of the Soul Carnival’s twentieth year, as masqued ball was held. During this time Lucius managed to seduce a young woman known as Bella Crede. She begged him to allow her to become part of his troupe, but he said that was quite impossible, and Newland felt so sorry for her that he stepped in and told her that she could join the troupe if she could keep a secret. She eagerly assured him that she could, and he told her their secret. She didn’t believe him until he dragged her into the topmost part of the building and tried to make her a vampire by biting her on the neck and sucking her blood. She put up a fight about it and affected his aim, so that he teeth sunk deeply into her shoulder. She turned and ran, screaming at the top of her lungs and blood pouring down her shoulder and staining her dress, and then disappeared into the streets. She returned later with an angry mob at her heels. The Soul Carnival was burned to the ground that very night.
Only five of the ten vampires escaped from the flames. Lucius was furious with Newland and broke both his legs, then left him on the ground to die from exposure of sunlight.
This never happened. Newland had managed to drag himself under a tarp and lay under there for three days until he was found by a rotund gentleman named Manuel Prescott, who took Newland to his house to try and nurse him back to health. Newland was in such a weakened state that he made no objection, but once they reached the house he broke down and tore into the man’s throat, spilling blood all over himself and the floor. Revived, his legs began to mend, and he began to prowl around the house making victims of the household servants. Once he was fully recovered, he began on a search for Lucius to carry out a bitter vengance.
Lucius was not to be recovered, but he did find Silas Hadrian – who had been waiting faithfully for his return – along with some other whom Silas had turned into vampires. They became the group known simply as The Hegemony.
Personality: Newland is, at best, cold and malicious, but not necessarily cruel or "evil". He enjoys the many liberties being leader grants him and often takes advantage of these priveleges. He is a sauve, graceful, elegant being who loves fur, leather, and velvet. His voice - perhaps his most memorable feature aside from his thick waist-length black curls and dark navy-blue eyes - is rich and can make even the simplest statement sound suggestive.
