More than anything he enjoys the thrill of the chase, more often than not being chased. He uses his knowledge in psychology to find what makes a woman tick and uses it to his advantage.

His olive skin and dark hair give way to his Italian heritage. Deacon carries himself with an air of confidence that is sometimes confused with arrogance, though in all actuality it’s a bit of both. Deacon is often in a dress shirt and blazer matched with jeans and dress shoes. When he does opt to go out in casual attire Deacon typically wears tight fitting shirts, leather jackets, jeans and still wears dress shoes. </em></div></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Personality:</strong></td><td><div style="text-align: justify;"><em>While Deacon is a caring person, he cares in his own messed up way. He enjoys watching people and figuring out what makes them tick, which makes him quiet for the most part. Once he figures out what can push buttons however he begins to talk and open up more. For all of his curiosity about others Deacon doesn’t open up much himself, then again not many psychologists do. He is very aware of his own psychosis and hides it well. He is his own kind of psychopath. One who cares just enough to show empathy and compassion, and possibly develop real relationships with people. </em></div></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Enemies</strong></td><td><div style="text-align: justify;"><em>Witch Hunters, Douche Bags, Voodoo Dicks, Shrinks who try to analyze other shrinks, anyone who messes with his students or his coven (besides him.) </em></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr><tr><td><div align="center"><hr/><strong><em><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 20pt;">History | Background</span></em></strong><br/><hr/></div></td></tr><tr><td><div style="text-align: justify;"> Deacon grew up not knowing just how special he was until he turned about 10. His mother and father passed away leaving him to go live with his great aunt. She was his only surviving relative and the family had written her off as crazy. It wasn’t until he got to know her that he realized why everyone had said that. His Aunt was a witch. The gene had skipped his mother’s generation and somehow passed onto him.<br/><br/>His aunt astonished with the fact that it had passed on to a male, as he’d come from a family of all female witches decided to train him. She could feel his potential power and wanted to teach him to harness is. When his first ability emerged though, and he ventured into his own hell, and made his way back out, without truly going through the entire Descensum ritual that she became overwhelmed and sent him away to Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional, she had attended many years before and had been informed by some of her old class mates that they had just started accepting male students. <br/><br/>Once at school Deacon made rather fast friends with quite a few people, but Cordelia Goode and Jackson Morison (both a year his junior) always managed to stand out, Jackson being the wild child and Cordelia being more studious. Deacon was always one to study and he excelled in mental exercises, but he loved to use them for things he shouldn’t, the perfect combination of both wild and intellectual. Telepathy, mind control, and dream walking are just a few of the skills he picked up while at school. <br/><br/>As the years went on, student came and went, but the three friends remained. Jackson finally went off to find himself and do whatever it was that Jackson did outside the walls of the school, and Deacon was proud of him. Cordelia and he stayed however dealing with the new kids that came in and Cordelia’s mother when she felt the need to ‘grace’ the coven with her presence. Deacon had seen so much go on in his time at the school that he decided to begin to take psychology classes so that he could help the kids learn to cope with things and their new lives.<br/><br/>It wasn’t until two particular kids came through the halls of Robichaux's that his world truly changed. Theo and Layla rocked Deacon’s world just enough that the man realized he truly did have a heart, it just more often than not didn’t want to work. Deacon had been in school via online courses since he’d turned eighteen, and was about 3 years away from getting his degree when the two arrived. Theo quickly earning the role of little brother in Deacon’s mind, but Layla…Layla was something else. He wanted to help her and spent as much time with her as he could. She was so very damaged that Deacon stayed in Louisiana as long as he could, but only six months after the kids got to the school he left for Stanford to finish his degree so that he might be able to truly give the girl the psychological help that she needed, not thinking about what leaving might do to the poor young thing.<br/><br/>Fresh out of school with a doctorate in clinical psychology Deacon has made his way home and spent the few days following the introduction ritual watching the new students of Robichaux's trying to get a handle on things. With the introduction of the under classmen however, it’s time to stop lurking in the shadows. Personalities will soon start testing eachother’s mental limits and push buttons they don’t know they are pushing. In Deacon’s mind it’s his job to not only help the children live harmoniously together and survive the trials, but perhaps come out less mentally damaged then the generations before them as well.<br/></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
