She was tired of constantly running but it wasn't fair to her husband or their child. She didn't know she was pregnant when she made that decision. She left them in London and then traveled around Europe until she realized her condition. Throwing a dart over her shoulder at a map she let fate make her next choice. The dart landed on Vancouver. She found a place to lay low and when Kaspian was born, she started having that feeling of being watched. Dropping her infant off at a church, she left his life too. The only memento he would have of his mother was a Herondale ring on a chain around his neck that no one could see.<br/><br/>Kaspian grew up in foster care. And yes, the hinted at horrors were true. Older kids picked on you unless you fight back--there was a lot of fighting back. He was naturally protective though and when Katherine came into his life at six, she was pretty useless at the whole being able to defend yourself part of things. He called her Kat and they were inseparable until a few years later when Jin Zhou and his wife wanted to adopt Katherine and only Katherine. As a child, Kaspian didn't differentiate that he was white and she was Chinese, she was just Kat and she found her way past his rough exterior and made him laugh. The rich couple were less optimistic. His wife had immediately taken to Katherine's gentle nature, it took Jin a few hours to work out that Kaspian was less a brother and more of a protector and that was something he could live with.<br/><br/>Jin Zhou's brother was a multi-billionaire in bitcoin, Jin enjoyed similar wealth as an early investor in the Binance company and sitting on the board. Kaspian was largely raised by their head of security. Kaspian went to school with Kat, came home and studied Shotokan and longsword with Gavin, giving the Zhou's time alone with their daughter. It was before his tenth birthday that he saw his first werewolf. When you're a kid, tv has a way of making a lot of things seem way more normal than they should be. It was in the distance and not coming right at him...so no cause for alarm. Then he saw it tear into someone who bumped into him. All he could think of was his sister getting raked from top to bottom for bumping into someone.<br/><br/>That was a turning point for Kaspian. The marital arts became more than just fun and sparring. He started answering those 'what do you want to be when you grow up' questions with things like a detective or a professor, because those were the two kinds of people he could think of that knew how to research something and not succeed due to dumb luck. He was still a kid, but he had a focus now. Before he turned eighteen, the growing rift between Kaspian and his adoptive parents had grown pretty wide. They didn't quite disown him, they paid for his schooling and felt their obligation ended there. Kaspian had not dealt well with some of the prospective suitors they introduced Katherine to. Kaspian saw through their bullshit and didn't care what family line they came from, they were still stupid and/or spoiled assholes.<br/><br/>Not a good year for him. Being able to go to school did not mean being able to eat or pay for rent. He wanted no part of gang life, the only person he knew was Gavin. Gavin wasn't one of those graduates of West Point. His past was far more murky. His boss made it clear what would happen if he helped Kaspian financially. So he made arrangements for his protégé to stay in the loft above the dojo and spent a good part of his off time over the next few months teaching Kaspian how to break into places without leaving a mark and stealing. It was very Robin Hood with some extra raiding of the fridge. Kaspian lived like this for a few years. He went back to school and studied on how to become a bounty hunter and private investigator. Apparently its not that hard, just a few licenses and some mentoring needed.<br/><br/>It was during a stake out when he discovered vampires exist too. The girl looked like Kat. Yeah that wasn't going to fly. It was during this...admittedly losing struggle on his part that he discovered the Shadow Hunters. He was twenty two then and his entire life got turned upside down. They knew what the ring meant, fuck they could even see the ring around his neck. Being a Herondale was something to these people. Its been three years of solid training trying to 'catch up' to where other people are at his age.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Passionate | Brave | Sarcastic | Loyal | Stubborn | Tenacious| Sentimental<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong>The Sight, Physically Gifted, Angelic Runes<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Abilities he's proficient at:</strong> </span><br/><strong>Academics</strong>: Good education with a leaning towards becoming an investigator.<br/><strong>Athletics</strong>: Naturally athletic combined with lots of training.<br/><strong>Close Combat</strong>: Learning Shotokan karate since he was 8.
