Appearance:

I'll get back to you on this, undecided.

Personality:

Donovan understands the finer points of pain and ecstasy. He's empathetic to people as he bites. At some point in time, Don was afraid to bite because of this, but very rapidly realized that he had to do what he had to do to survive. Because of this, Don is the one person who will answer the question, "does the end justifies the means?" With an affirmed, and solid yes.

History:

Back in the 1800's, Don was your average aristocrat heir who was destined to take over his fathers work as a lawyer in England. He had everything that he could possibly want, wealth, power, good family and he could have any girl that he wanted. There were many women that he was interested in but one in particular that caught his eye, this woman had just arrived in town and she had the air of mystery all around her that drew many men to her side. She was tall, pale skinned and more beautiful then anyone he had ever seen before. Something about her screamed of power and Don was drawn like all the others. Because of his status and the power he seemed to command the woman took an interest in him as well, allowing him to court her before finally inviting him to take a walk with her in the park. On this trip, thing were quiet and the late hour was strange for two younger people to be out given the time period, but he followed after her power. She led him to a dark and remote part of the main park in town and she took him to her, biting him before he knew what was happening. The woman changed him quickly, waiting with him through the pain of the change until he was able to move with her again. She took him on his first hunt, killing an older woman who was wondering alone. This woman taught him everything about being a vampire and she often shared her blood with him in order to make him stronger then he was.

As time went on, through the years, he discovered that this woman was the Queen of the Vampires in the sect of Canturbury. She lead the Seethe in the area of Washington, right on the borderline towards Montana. Because of being a rare human to be changed by the queen herself, she kept him close and he moved with her to the United States during the 1900's, back to where her seethe was so that she could better continue her rule. Being among the favored in the seethe he had several freedoms that others had not, he was able to live on his own and keep a menagerie of humans within his household to sustain his life so that he wouldn't have to go out hunting to kill. Being out and hunting humans seemed to cause him trouble, he could feel everything that they felt and knew the pain and terror he brought on those he fed upon whenever they realized that he was about to take their lives. Though feeding on human blood made him stronger then any animal blood could do, and being changed by the queen meant that he was at her call to handle anything that she asked of him. Don became an assassin and hunter for the queen, often handling creatures who drew too much attention from the public as well as sending him to deal with the diplomatic situations anytime they called to have a talk. Don comes off as a laid back and smooth talking vampire, but he is dangerous because of his few attachments to life. Though most vampires prefer to stay away from the werewolves, this vampire has become a custom to having to deal with their kind. After his Queen had dissapeared, Don presumed death, and left the east coast for the west, and lived in NYC up until now. Now, Donovan works as a chef in the mornings and lives the nightlife as a Vampire.
