Christopher
The challenger to the Vampire Thrown, a vampire cast out from his family, and now fighting not just to get back in, but to take over.
A selfish and dislikeable figure, Christopher believes he's owed much from his nearly endless life. He was a yes-man of a vampire for centuries. He was a man high in the ranks of his family, deep in the business of ruling a city with an iron fist. He was proud of what he was.
Those days are long gone. He's seen an incompetent leader rule the family for far too long. Now he realizes he threw his support behind the wrong figure. It's time for a change, for Angelo's head to be on a platter. Time for the Vampires to rule the city, as is their divine, given right.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Christopher is a shadow of a man, his form is slim, seemingly barren of muscles. His skin is tight on his frame. He's been forced to go without for far too long. His feedings are shorter, his stock less nourishing, and hid form decaying a little more each day as a result. These years have turned him to a man running on spite, rage, and desperation more than anything else.
His clothes are a bit more worn, more rugged. He doesn't wear the finery of your typical vampire. His suits have some worn threads in them. He's a prince on a budget. In his current crowd, it fits perfectly. A band of outlaws, coming to take over at all costs.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Not much is publicly known about Christopher's history. As is the case with nearly all vampires, he doesn't talk about it. Musings in back halls wonder about his age. Some place him as much as 400 years old. He's served under numerous vampire masters in his time, rumor has it he was once a chief Lietuenant in London's Family before he chose to cast his luck in the New World.
The most solid bits of his history pick up around 1920. He was climbing the ranks of the Philadelphia family. A yes-man to the mob-like mentality. He did as he was told. A good vampire. He was rather slow to climb the ranks. Time dripped by and his life never changed much. Always stuck a rung or two lower than he should be. Others took credit for his success.
An opportunity for change came around in the 60s. A coup. Angelo overthrew the Vampire Master, with Christopher's help. And yet... things didn't get better. Angelo's gratitude was short lived. By the 90s, they were rivals in the same family. Christopher was one of the 'trusted lieutenants', but it always felt like his days were numbered. He'd never receive his rightful place on top.
Insult to injury, Angelo was a terrible vampire master. Angelo's ego lead them to loss and defeat after loss. In most cities, the wolves serve the vampires. In Philadelphia? Angelo fears to tread near them.
2019 came and Christopher's patience went. The whole city was changing, the vampire's fortunes were not. Humans were now growing to be a power. There was a human army who could fight the monsters. An army who could fight and kill vampires. It could go on no longer.
Christopher's Rebellion began.
