I was born in 30 B.C. in Rome. I am an illegitimate child of a Roman patrician and a Celtic slave from the land of Gaul. In his mortal years, I traveled the empire and much of the known world compiling a travelogue/history of the world.

I was approximately 40 years old, when I was abducted by druids, who followed the religion of the Gods of the Groves and was taken into their Grove. There, I was made into a vampire by the God of The Grove just before the yearly Feast of Samhain and instructed by the said God to go and try, with any means possible, to find out why vampires in other places - and himself as well - had been burned or destroyed when they have not been exposed to fire or the sun. I traveled to Egypt and became the caretaker of the original two vampires “Those who must be kept.”

I am a intelligent, wise and optimistic vampire, one of the oldest who are known to be still surviving, a Child of the Millennia. Due to my many drinks of blood from the now-dead vampire queen Akasha from whom the vampiring life originated, I am immensely powerful and possesses a number of advanced powers, including the ability to cause combustion and the ability to fly . I can also read minds with much ease and block my own mind from being read by using the mind gift' Another ability I possesses is the killing gift.

I am a great painter and scholar, who loves to read and has had several treasured libraries which have been lost due to fire.
