Description: Though not tall, Creed is solid and bulky. He is darkly attractive and has as predatory gaze. He wears furs to cover his form and prefers more simple adornments. He has short cropped hair, cut with an odd shaped and very sharp knife. His beard is medium length and helps lend an air of age to otherwise youthful features. His body is covered in tattoos, these were once magical before the portal explosion. Normally he carries a knife, a staff and a satchel with simple gear but this is all gone now.
Personality: Creed is smart, calculating and extremely vicious. Often mistaken for a brute, Creed does nothing to dissuade those who think this. He is typically a loner but sees the value in teamwork. He has spent years in the court of Asmodeus, learning stratagems and craftiness from the King of Hell itself. Far from the simple killer he once was, Creed was chosen as a plant in the invasion to report back to his lord and carry out his wishes.
Background: Creed was born a killer by nature. He grew up with his clan near the settlement of Varna and from an early age the clan found his tendency toward cruelty disturbing. He would be overly forceful when playing with other children, often leading to disputes that he ended violently and he became ostracized within the clan as he aged due to many injuries among those he disagreed with. He was however a prodigy in the clan hierarchy through his shifting abilities. When the inevitable clashes with humans along the clan borders occurred, he was invaluable in protecting his people.
However there came a time when his nature overcame his mortality and his Sires fiendish and vampire heritage began to come to the fore. Instead of simply killing interlopers, Creed began to feast on them. He also began to develop wings and his features took on a more savage cast. The elders of the clan met to decide his fate and it was decided that he would be sent from the clan regardless of his prowess. Banished, Creed went into the wilds for a time where he grieved for his loss, but this soon turned to anger and hatred. Eventually he returned during a dark summer night to slaughter the entire clan.
Creed then made his way into Varna and became a terror in the streets during the night. His vampiric nature surfaced even more prominently and he lost himself, feeding on any he could hunt in the dark streets. But Varna was too small and soon he had to flee back into the wilds when house Vadalis began searching for him. Eventually he was caught by a cadre of druids who banished the creature he had become to the Nine Hells due to the many despicable deeds he had committed. He survived alone for some time on the lowest layer of Hell, stalking and feeding on any humanoids he could find. Eventually he took one victim too many and came to the notice of Asmodeus, who saw potential in the half-breed vampire/shifter and took him in.
He was tested of course.
