| Desmond was hiding in a closet the night
his parents were murdered by a vampire while he was young. All he could
do was watch as they were drained by this thing which was only suppose
to exist in horror movies. He thought the Police would fix everything
and they did...just not for Desmond. The whole thing was covered up and
filed as a murder-suicide and Desmond withdrew into himself for years.
The only happiness he afforded coming from the movies, books, television
and anything else which let him escape reality. The
first time he saw The Princess Bride he knew that he and Inigo
were of the same blood. Just as Montoya did, Desmond vowed to avenge his
parents murder by finding the vampire responsible and killing it for
good. His years were spent training; learning how to fight with his body
and mind and researching the Occult while amassing the wealth he knew he
would need to afford this quest...as he also found a kinship with the
character Brace Wayne aka Batman.
His efforts never turned anything up in the states
even after he became co-owner of a nightclub which served as a sanctuary
of the supernatural. Ironically the other owner happened to be a Hunter
who was on a search for knowledge...the knowledge which mankind had lost
to legend and which proved the existence of what the two fought in their
distinct ways. Life is funny however, and Desmond grew tired of the
teeming cities and smog filled air of Los Angeles and returned to
France, where he knew there to be another Haven...one which actually
followed the Vampiric rules. And so with a package to deliver to one
whom the Hunter knew Desmond left with little more than a duffel and the
clothes he was wearing. After months of searching and a few encounters
with vampires and other beings Desmond came to a hard fact. With all his
time of training and conditioning he was still only human, and as such
was getting older every year when his foes aged not a day and grew with
their power. On this note he took a sabbatical from his quest to journey
for mystics, shamans, monks, purported mages and anything else which may
have a chance of letting him even the playing field. Ending up in Sri
Lanka Desmond studied under an aged village elder who was once part of a
powerful group of sorcerers who were disbanded by their leader who had
made a pact with a demon.
Teaching Desmond how to harness his inner potential
the two were Master and Student for nearly two years before Desmond once
again felt the burden of time passing and had to leave to continue his
quest...but now Desmond knew more about the arcane, things which would
help even the field and possibly kill his objective. Back on his search
for vengeance he made another vow that day, that he would not stop until
his parents' killer was removed from this world... no matter what the
cost. |
