Born in Ireland the son of a peasant, Drachan Kerr was
the eldest of twins. His twin sister, Cyra, is the
closest link Drachan has to his past. Drachan and
Cyra share a special bond that exceeds the limitations
of twin siblings..they share the deaths of their
parents. In a fit of unbridled rage, Cyra murdered
their parents one night in 1515 because her father had
a nasty habit of raping her, and her mother allowed
it....allowed it in stride, for oftentimes she would
sit back and laugh at the incestuous antics in which
they engaged. Drachan, being a gallant individual,
covered up the murders...risking his own life for that
of his beloved sister.
Drachan and Cyra ended up in England in 1517 as a result of their exile. The government officials took pity on the twins because of their innocent smiles. Innocent. The word would follow Drachan to meet Cullen Shaw Priscus. Cullen was introduced to Cyra via Drachan, and the two started a heated love affair. This angered Drachan, and as a result, Drachan challenged Cullen to a duel of sorts, being a chivalrous individual. When Cullen accepted, Cyra briefly lost her mind and attempted to stop the duel. In the midst of the excitement and rancor, Cullen Embraced Drachan. Cyra witnessed the death of her Twin, but failed to see his Embrace. In a fit of anger, with hopes that her anger would be enough fuel to harm the Vampire Cullen, Cyra charged at Cullen. Instinctively, Cullen stabbed Cyra, fatally wounding her. Drachan awoke just in time to see his sister's murder, and flashed back to the bloody sight of his parents' deaths. The flashback would become the first of many quasi-premonitions Drachan would father over the centuries. Drachan, without knowing, nay, understanding what he was doing, Embraced Cyra. As a result, Cyra was saved from Eternal Death. Cullen Embraced Drachan because of his valliant display of courage. Drachan Embraced Cyra because she was his Beloved Twin. Cyra, well, that's another story...
Drachan is angered by Cyra's antics...and angst has
arisen between the once close twins, but the ties
remain, as they always will, and Cyra smuggled a Lapis
Lazuli Ring for her brother, thus allowing Drachan to
walk in the sun. The chivalrous Irishman is enraged
at the fact that his sister was drawn away by a
hotheaded Cullen. Drachan makes everyone well aware
that Cullen is NOT his favourite person, and as a
result, Cullen would be wise to stay away from Drachan
and his Irish temper.
