</i><br/>Thomas Campbell had been a common farmer's son, neither wealthy or well educated, but he had the love of a young woman named Elizabeth and plans of marrying her regardless of his station. For that he worked himself to the bone, scraping together every bit of coin that he could muster to prove that he had what it took to provide for a wife and eventual family. Against all odds he had received the blessing of her father to take the young lady's hand and was to be married to her within a fortnight. However, he would not live to see her in a white gown, at least not as he was in those simpler times.<br/><br/>A stranger had come to call on the family of his bride-to-be one fateful evening, and as was the custom of the times one did not simply turn away an obviously higher born gentleman. Unfortunately for Elizabeth and her kin they had opened their home to a beast far deadlier than the coyotes and wolves of the wilderness. They had allowed a vampire into their home. It did not take the creature long to dispatch the frightened humans, slashing the throats of Elizabeth's father and mother before turning his dreadful gaze on her. He descended on her in a heartbeat, and she was barely able to scream before his fangs were sunk deep into the veins that ran along her slender throat.<br/><br/>It was that scream that Thomas had heard as he made his way to her small cottage to join them for supper, and his heart skipped a beat. It was a ritual they had followed for months, for him to join the family on Sundays in praising God and taking a meal in His name. That night though would be the end of any such worship for young Thomas.<br/><br/>He had just burst through the door ready to assail anyone that was harming his beloved, but the sight that greeted him turned his blood to ice. The entire cottage was smeared with the lifeblood of Elizabeth's family from the walls to the overturned furnishings. Thomas barely had time to process everything that he was witnessing when he saw the beast lift his mouth from Elizabeth's throat and drop her to the floor.<br/><br/>The next few moments were a blur of rage and sorrow as Thomas lashed out at the vampire. He was quickly overpowered though and expected to at least see his sweet beloved in the afterlife. However, the creature spoke to him in that moment, and those words would never leave him. "I can bring her back to you. All you have to do is say yes."<br/><br/>So Thomas said the one word that would damn him for eternity as tears streamed down his face, "Yes..." With that word Thomas felt the fangs sink into his flesh and his world began to darken until a bloody wrist was placed to his lips. There was something intoxicating about it in that moment and Thomas gripped it and drank greedily from the wound.<br/><br/>The vampire had not only taken everything away from, he had lied about bringing back his beloved. Elizabeth had passed away right there as the tainted blood flowed through his veins, killing him but bringing him to life all at once. He had wanted to rip the man's throat clean from his body once the convulsions had stopped, but found himself too weak to even move, and that was much the way he had been kept for the following fifteen years...<br/><br/><i>The Year of Our Lord: 1761<br/>
</i><br/>Fifteen short years had passed since that dark night when Thomas traded away his humanity to the man he would come to know as Julian Leitner. A sadistic mentor who spent the youth of Thomas's undead years instructing him etiquette and mathematics, languages and history. The lessons would not have been so bad if they weren't accompanied by beatings that stole away every ounce of hope that the fledgling vampire had remaining. However, all things come to an end, and Thomas had built up reserves of strength over the many years until he was finally strong enough to break free of both the physical and mental hold that Julian had upon him.<br/><br/>He had slammed his sire against a bookshelf after years of endless torment and domination and ran him through with a saber that was kept on the wall of their home. Thomas knew that it wouldn't kill him, but it would keep him pinned there long enough to escape, and escape he did. He fled into the night with only the clothes on his back, never looking back for the fear that he would see Julian's enraged visage following close behind.<br/><br/><i>The Year of Our Lord: 1862<br/>
</i><br/>Just over a century later Thomas found himself among the streets of New York, a predator constantly among its prey. In fact, as far as the vampire knew, he was the only one of his kind remaining, for he had not encountered another since Julian. He had debated ending his existence many times over the years, but he still held firm to the tenant that suicide was a mortal sin. A laughable notion considering he was one of the most unholy creatures to ever tread the Earth, but it was those sorts of thoughts that helped him hang on to whatever scraps of humanity remained within him.<br/><br/>That humanity was what had given birth to Thomas's realization of not having to kill his victims unless he had no other choice. Unlike the manner in which his sire had dispatched humans, tossing them aside like garbage to rot where they landed, Thomas had learned to use the euphoric effects of his bite to caress his victims into silence. He would leave them drained, but alive nonetheless for he still harbored respect for them unlike Julian who saw them as nothing more than cattle to be slaughtered. It was during one of those merciful feedings one warm July night that Thomas had learned he was not alone after all.<br/><br/>"Well now," the familiar Austrian accent rang out across the night, "I see you've been keeping yourself well fed at least my dear boy."<br/><br/>Looking up from the throat of the blonde he had lured out to the alleyway Thomas felt that same icy chill run through him that had assaulted his senses the night he was turned. There at the head of the alley was Julian Leitner dressed in his usual finery, but something was different...he wasn't alone.<br/><br/>At his side stood a young woman of exquisite beauty, and since Thomas could not detect the beat of a heart from her he could only assume that Julian had created another companion. It wasn't until his sire spoke once more that the implications of this girl caused a lump to form in his throat. "It took well over a century, but I finally kept good on my promise Thomas. She even has her name..."
