My pomme is Zarek of Moesia. He was born in Greece in 155 BC. Zarek was the unwanted son of a Greek slave and a Roman senator. Moments after his birth, his mother gave him to a servant with orders to kill the infant. The servant took mercy on the child and took him to his father who had no more use for the baby than his mother had so Zarek became the whipping boy of a noble Roman family. After his death he became a dark-hunter a servent of Artemis who treated him just as cruelly as his family. Now he is my bodyguard and enforcer. He only leaves my side when I am with my family.

Meet Zarek
Nick changed his mind as soon as Mike slid open the passenger door and he caught his first look at Zarek of Moesia.
Zarek emerged from the opening like Lucifer from his deepest pit, with a chip on his shoulder so large, Nick was amazed they had managed to get the helicopter off the ground.
Dressed all in black, Zarek wore jeans, Harley biker boots, and a long-sleeved t-shirt. He seemed completely oblivious to the cold damp air that made up a New Orleans�s winter night. He had a long silver sword earring in his left ear, with a hilt made of a skull and cross bones.
Zarek stepped out with a sneer. His straight black hair brushed his shoulders and his jet eyes were filled with contempt and hatred. Nick was used to bad attitude, hell he�d been weaned onto it. But he�d never met a man who had one worse than Zarek.
He reminded Nick of the murderers his father had brought home. Cold. Unfeeling. Lethal. Whenever Zarek looked at you, you got the feeling he was measuring you for your coffin size.
Zarek braced his left hand against the side of the chopper, and leaned back in long enough to grab a large black duffle bag. Nick stared at Zarek�s huge hand in awe. Each finger, including his thumb, was covered with a long, articulated silver claw and tipped with a point so sharp that Nick knew it must be Zarek�s weapon of choice.
This man liked to get down and dirty with his kills.
Shit, for Zarek, being called psychotic would be a step up.
