CHARACTER INFO
Character name: Einar (Norse: lone warrior)
Nicknames: Nidhogg (norse serpent), or Freyr (Norse God)
Character age: 813 years old
Birthdate: January 11, 1194
Gender: Male
Bloodline: Dragon
Level: Master Vampire
Strengths: Excluding the powers that most vampires have Einar also has master level powers (being a master vampire). Einar is fairly powerful and his gaze has a much stronger pull then most vampires would have. Though his gaze alone doesn’t usually effect vampires as much it can pull on lycanthropes and normal humans to an extent where anything that isn’t alpha is usually pulled in by it. Einar can call some cats, though at the moment it is only leopards, jaguars, and tigers, and can fly, though his power of flight isn't all that strong, but he can levitate fairly well using it. His call is fairly powerful and can control even the most strongest lycanthropes (it has once been rumored that he forced a nimir-raj under his control, though this has not been proven). Einar can feed off violence (kind of like Primo) and can also draw blood from a distance. Through his bloodline Einar can manipulate violence as well instigating it with ease as well as ending it quickly. Einar can use it so that while in battle he can drain the fight out of a person making them unwilling to kill or even brawl allowing an easier victory. He has a high resistance towards silver and because of his master level has the power to give marks to a human/lycanthrope of his choosing.

Weaknesses: Excluding the weaknesses that all vampires possess Einar also has other weaknesses. Holy items are especially effective against Einar almost stopping him completely as it would do to a fledgling vampire. His gaze though being much more effective against lycanthropes and humans is weakened more so when used against vampires even fledglings. Originally Einar was once a more peaceful person drawing attributes of the smaller cats that he can control such as leopards. However, time away from the city of Miami recently has caused him to revert to a darker vampire. He now utilizes his power over violence more, gaining him power, but at the same time causing trouble. He has also become a very depressed and cynical person and thus is a little on the suicidal side, making it so that he does not always fight with the want to win and live.

Weapons carried on person: A long heavy blade with a golden handle. The blade itself is made out of silver with another type of hard alloy to keep the blade tough and sharp. Also he keeps with him a small pistol which he keeps loaded with silver bullets. Einar does not always keep with him the blade and he used to never bring along his pistol. However, his past experiences during his time in capture have once again taken his toll on him and he now at least always brings along his pistol paranoid that his life can be in danger at any moment.

He has another tattoo on his right shoulder of a dragon and leopard within a heart with S+R inscribed in it. However, Einar no longer likes to show off the tattoo and plans to get it removed since it as well reminds him of a past life.

Style: Being an older vampire, Einar likes to wear clothes that are from his own timeline. However, Einar also believes that vampires must adept in order to survive and thus wears clothes of the present as well.

Personality description: Normally Einar is a quiet individual who mistrusts most people. His is an extremely loyal person who will die for those he believes in. He has very high standards for those who follow his instructions, only because he follows those above his orders so strictly as well. He used to be one who would prefer diplomacy over action, but as turned towards enjoying battle rather then negotiations. However, he still has been told to have a silver tongue regardless of his enjoyment of a fight. Due to his time as a prisoner Einar has also become a very depressing individual not only holding a bleak outlook on life, but also becoming very cynical. He enjoys listening to classical music for it helps him get his mind off of his life and he is quite unsure that love even exists in this world.

History:
Prior to Arriving in Miami:
Einar doesn’t usually like to discuss his own past, but their has been glimpses of it told throughout his time. Some actually hypothesize that he is Sigurd or Siegfried from the Norse and Germanic Mythological tales. What is known about Einar’s past is that he was once a Norse Viking. He roamed the countryside and other nations terrorizing with his clan. One day a large battle ensued where many warriors on both sides fell in combat. When the battle ceased Einar was left wounded, his clan decimated. His wound was mortal and fatal enough that he would only live for a little while longer. While he lay, there dying night fell and with it, a woman appeared. The woman promised him a new life, where he would be stronger and strike fear in the hearts of his enemies. Upon hearing, all this Einar thought that the woman above him was in reality a valkyrie and was easily seduced by the vampire. The powerful vampire brought him over in a single bite and since his first awakening introduced him to the world of the undead.

He lived under this master vampire for many a year doing most of her grunt work when it came to killing those that crossed her. Then mysteriously soon after becoming a master level vampire his own master disappeared. He then roamed from master to master within the next three hundred years or so, but no one would take him in, suspicious that Einar himself killed his master. Einar now hopes that a new master will take him in, one who is strong and will earn his respect.

After Arriving to Miami to Present:
Einar’s arrival and time within Miami was short, but sweet. Though he will never admit to such now it was probably one of the best times of his life. So much happened to him that it almost seemed like a dream. When he first came he immediately met with the Mistress of the City, one named Darla. She welcomed him within open arms and Einar happily joined her kiss. It wasn’t soon after that Einar met the other members of her kiss and the one that he would from that point on compete with for the title of Témoin, Guy. Each vampire had their own merits and both competed on an equal level one never truly breaking away from the other. His competition for the chance to being Darla’s second was not what Einar remembers most of his time within Miami before being captured. No, his more vivid memories are of a loving nature.

When the vampire still called himself Sigurd he met the Nimir-ra of the local pard. Einar instantly fell in love with the one named Rhia and along side her nothing seemed to trouble him. The relationship between the two quickly grew and even went so far as to have Einar mark her. From that point on the two were no longer just lovers, but Vampire and animal to call. They gained a bond that only strengthened their love. However, this in its own right brought perils. These dangers were soon realized as a new vampire, a new force, moved into Miami. His name was Gerard and he was as old and powerful as Darla herself. Originally everyone stayed very much on edge around the powerful vampire, his silver tongue even slicker then Einar’s. It was this new arrival that from an outsider’s point of view caused Einar his title shot at Témoin. He began to worry for the sake of Rhia and thinking that Gerard was a much better master held back on immediately defending Darla’s honor. Not soon after Gerard’s arrival Darla chose Guy to be her second and with that decision pushed Einar’s into his own. Einar met with Gerard days later, discussing his absorption into the powerful vampire’s ranks.

Einar gave the blood oath to the Master Vampire like all other vampires within a kiss and all vampires that came before him. With that one ritual he was now Gerard’s until the vampire deemed otherwise. Einar’s love Rhia was a little worried about the vampire, but she respected Einar’s decision and decided to trust the new vampire. Time passed on and Einar followed Gerard’s orders quickly rising through the ranks to no longer be just some lowly submissive. He still hadn’t reached a high position within Gerard’s kiss, but he was no small thing. It was during this time that Gerard gave Einar the mission that would change the rest of his life. The mission was of simple nature and would greatly benefit Einar later on. The vampire laws were still being passed through the government and because of such the counsel decreed that no Masters would go to war with each other. However, Gerard saw this as an opportunity to strengthen his own hold on neighboring territories inadvertently. He sent out Einar to not only pose as a diplomatic ambassador to a neighboring Master, but at the same time strengthen the hold of the land to the Master’s second so that he may take the lands from him and rule it as an ally to Gerard.

Einar hadn’t thought he would be there long, but as days turned to weeks he began to worry. He wished to go back to his love at all costs and was scared that there separation might cause some sort of rift. Because of such Einar acted without thinking, attempting to hurry along the mission. Einar was caught by the current Master of the City and immediately placed as a prisoner. The vampire was tortured every day; excruciating and creative methods were used to make him talk. Einar would not talk refusing to betray his master, as such the torture only increased. Time passed and again Einar began to worry about his love, it was then that the marks were broken and no longer could he feel his leopard. A part of him was relieved and satisfied that she would not die with him, for surely he thought he was going to die. However, the other part of him held much regret and hatred towards Rhia, that she would abandon him and not risk all to come and save him. Though Einar knew that the hatred within him towards Rhia was wrong and misdirected he still could not shake it. Einar thought many a time that he would die within the place, for in fact there had been times where the Master of the City attempted to use starvation as a method of torture.

Einar was only able to survive by a miscalculation by the Master of the City. As it turned out the Master of the City was fairly old and because of such solved all the problems and squabbles among his kiss in the most barbaric fashion. Almost every week gladiator matches would commence to settle disputes. Despite what were originally his wishes Einar fed off that violence in order to keep himself alive. Eventually as his views on the world became more cynical and his belief that he would be there for the rest of his after life became more concrete, he began to use the power of his bloodline more. No longer did he merely feed when he had to, but now he instigated the fights, he pushed members of the Master’s own kiss into mortal battles were the looser was slain. He fed on the violence no longer ashamed of it, but realizing it as a crucial part of his existence. Surprisingly it was this rise in power due to his feedings that had helped secure his freedom. By the time the Master of the City had realized what Einar was doing it was too late. Einar had gained much power from it and he had used it to his advantage. The Master of the City came to know Einar as a liability and decided that he would need to get rid of him without looking weak. It was Master Gerard who was able to give the vampire this chance. Einar’s master had been trying to negotiate his freedom since the first day of his capture. However, what he had offered had never really been worth the trade to the Master of the City. That was until now where suddenly it was quite dangerous to keep Einar around. He decided to use Gerard’s attempts at gaining Einar’s freedom as a way to release the vampire without seeming weak. Not only would the Master of the City potentially gain something, but he would also get rid of a dangerous vampire without any of his kiss realizing the true motive.

Einar was shocked when he learned that he was to be given his freedom and was almost depressed by that fact. He had been positive that he was going to die there and because of his time captured had lost much. When he returned many of the things he once knew would no longer be waiting for him. Though he decided to return in the end due to a much stronger loyalty to his Master, Gerard, he knew that his life would never be the same. Einar now makes his way back towards Miami a changed vampire. The vampire plans to live on and make a new, even if he must face the demons of his past.

The story of how Einar became abandoned.

Einar's life

Einar made his way to a small village within Germany. It was the days of old and though the small village wasn’t big enough to really have its own master watching over it, Einar’s master took it upon herself to do such. The village was in crisis now and had pleaded with nobles for warriors to stop a dragon plaguing their lands. The nobles had sent some warriors, but all were destroyed by the hands of the dragon. Einar’s master saw their failure as an opportunity to secure mortals, for labor, and supplies, so she sent Einar. Einar was sent in even though he was a century short to even possibly attain master level and held no real vampric skill yet. However, the vampire was deathly loyal and had much skill with a blade, being once a Nordic warrior. In the eyes of his mistress, he was seen as more important then some of her own master vampires. Einar arrived within the small village shortly, his mistress so powerful that even there her power reached him, awaking him each night. Einar spent weeks within the village slowly gaining the trust of the people and information from them. After some time the villagers finally agreed to give some mortals and supplies in return for the death of the dragon. Einar spent his time preparing for the next few days, completely pleased that things were going as planned. However, something that was not planned surprised Einar. Einar fell in love with a local mortal. Her name was Isabelle and she was the daughter of a local farmer. She had surprised Einar with her kindness and acceptance of him being a vampire. The two grew quite close, secretly meeting in the days of preparation. When Einar had left to kill the dragon, he had made a promise to return and bring Isabelle back with him so they could be together for an eternity.

Einar tracked the dragon to a large cavern north of the village. There with the silver moonlight playing along the dragon’s scales and Einar’s sword, the battle broke out. After hours of bloody battle and countless wounds, Einar was finally victorious. The dragon was still a youngling and had been badly wounded from the countless brave warriors that had come prior. Einar thanked the gods for his fortune, but soon realized when his adrenaline rush ended that his wounds were grave and he would die soon. Einar did the only thing he could do; Einar crawled his way to the fast dyeing dragon and drank of its intoxicating blood. Such power filled Einar’s veins in that one instant that all his wounds healed instantaneously and Einar gained the power of a master that would have took him centuries. Einar was drunk on power for days, gone for so long that upon his return to the village many admitted to believing him dead. Einar took his leave shortly after, the mortals he had bargained for carrying his supplies. Isabelle accompanied those mortals, secreting herself away by dressing a long cloak to hide herself.

On his travels back, Einar’s mistress contacted him telepathically realizing his power boost. It was during this time that Einar asked for the permission to bring over his lover. His mistress agreed not realizing Isabelle hadn’t told the village and not wanting to get in the way of love. With her approval, Einar took the two remaining days to begin to turn his lover into what he was. Einar was greeted warmly upon his arrival back home and happily gave his lover the last bite before her change. Einar then went to die in his coffin that dawn the happiest he had ever been. Einar awoke at true dark that night his stomach strangely in a knot. Einar pushed his lid off the sounds of yelling assaulting his ears and the smell of ash assaulting his nose. Einar’s eyes grew wide as they gazed upon fires lit throughout the safe haven.

Einar ran through the halls hurriedly reaching his mistress’s room. He opened the doors his eyes immediately setting on his mistress who lay on the floor, her head severed, and her heart ripped out. Though she had no face to look upon, Einar knew whom she was and screamed in horror. His mind despite the horrific scene calling his attention before him immediately thought of his lover. Einar ran to her quarters, panic on his face and depressing thoughts playing within his head. Einar opened the doors to her resting place his eyes seeking her coffin. His eyes mirrored the sorrow that he felt as he watched the flames consume the coffin. His sorrow only heightened as he stood their petrified listening to the screams of his lover as she died by the flames. He was left motionless, unable to do anything as the cross hammered onto the coffin kept him from attempting to rescue his loved one. His fear spiked dramatically however, as his lovers screams quickly faded, becoming silence. As Einar hid behind his hands protecting his eyes from the light of the cross, he sensed out searching for her spark of life. Soon enough though his fears were answered as he found no spark within the coffin and his sorrow turned to anger. This anger was not just a normal anger, but a rage so great that it was almost a palpable thing.

Einar rose from the burning coffin his eyes bleeding to white fire as he turned to the door and drew his blade. Soon after leaving the room, he had found some of the culprits. They were the humans he had brought back with him. Einar would later find out that the villagers had no plans to become food and had actually planned this from the beginning. Einar rushed them screaming, “Isabelle!” Einar though being a Norse warrior was completely outnumbered however; Einar had come into his master powers and used that strength. Einar put many of the intruders under a small hypnosis, slaughtering them as he passed. Sigrid’s power only grew as he moved on his body feeding on the violence unknowingly. Some of the mortals were crosses, but the violence and recent dragon blood allowed him to fight off the complete paralysis made by it in order to kill them. Thought he crosses allowed the humans to not completely be hypnotized it did slow down their reaction time enough down so that it seemed Einar moved with godlike speed.

Eventually many of the intruders began to flee on the sight of Einar screaming as they ran, “Demon!” Though he would be called this many times later in his after life, in this case it was not Einar being a vampire that made him such, but his rage. As Einar heard them flee, his anger refused to let them escape. Einar tapped into another power of his then, calling leopards to him. Einar stepped out of the safe haven then, his burning eyes matching the burning fortress. As the building collapsed behind him, Einar watched as wereleopards slaughtered all the intruders who attempted to escape. When the last human fell, the adrenaline and power gained through violence began to fade. With that, the leoaprds left, leaving Einar all alone. Einar fell to his knees, his life now more empty then ever before. Einar’s eyes burned out, squelched by the tears that came to his sea colored eyes. Einar then let his emotions flow, drowning himself in blood tears all the while screaming, “Isabelle!!!!!”

Einar found refuge after that in a small cavern where he spent the next nights silent and mourning. Eventually, the council would choose a new master. The master’s name was Vincent and he had been their master’s second before her death. Einar would always wonder after that fateful day where Vincent had been during the murder of their mistress and if perhaps he had a hand in it. Einar not really knowing what to do next approached Vincent feeling he had no other choice. Einar was given a surprise however, when Vincent accused Einar of killing their mistress. Though it could not be proven and held no motive whatsoever the damage was done. For when Vincent would not take Einar back into the kiss, no master would either. Einar spent centuries after that still haunted by his Isabelle, blaming evangelists and those townsfolk long ago for his misfortunes, the loss of his love, his master, and his reputation/honor. He cursed the mortals and to this day is very untrusting of any normal mortals who hold high religious beliefs.

I Einar, in the presence of the witnesses of the House of Anlui gathered here this night, in this most righteous hall which will endure for ages into the future, give my unfailing fealty to Gerard Anlui in full obedience of speech and action, without favor or affection, malice or ill will. I will henceforth for until released faithfully support, protect and defend his Lordship; and that I will, in the like manner, abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations he hath make. For each and all of which I make homage and fealty with hands and with mouth to the my said lord and elder, and I swear upon my life and the lives of those whom I care for that I will always be a faithful vassal to thee in all things that a vassal is required to be faithful to his lord.

I will defend thee, my lord, and all thy wards, and the city and all your men and your possessions against malefactors and invaders, at my request and that of my successors at my own cost, and I will give to the power over all that I am and all that I possess in peace and in war, whenever they shall be claimed by thee. And if I do not observe to thee each and all the things declared above, and should come against these things, I wish that all the aforesaid properties and possessions should by that very fact be handed over to thee and to thy successors.
So help me, I do swear.
Einar
