Name: Callian Rembrant
Hero/Villain Name: Ashen Soul
Age: 1935
Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 174
Appearance:
Power Source: Mystical
History:
Callian was born to a farming family in England where he grew up learning how to live a good, honest life. When a Crusade came along, Cal felt that he was obligated to join the ranks and fight for his nation and his God by either turning the Moorish people or wiping them out. During one particular battle, Cal and three other men disappeared from the field never to be seen alive again.
Unlike his comrades, who had been sucked dry of both blood and life itself, Callian woke up dead. His senses were sharper and he was hungry. With the help of the ones responsible for what happened he learned how to hunt and live as a vampire. While he normally fed the way Europeans considered traditional for his kind, he was quick to learn that blood was one of the less-filling things that sustained his undeath. He found that through concentration and special training, he could sap the very life energy from the living. Cal was retrained to work with and for the very people he had been trying to convert during his life, though no one could ever make him get rid of his Western customs and he refused to give up his old uniform and armor.
When the Crusades ended, Callian decided it was time to become his own Knight and finally discarded his Crusader garb, but only to make his own, keeping as European as possible in spite of his new "family" that consisted of Moorish and Asian vampires. In the years afterward spent as a vampire Cal mastered his powers and hunger and became a formidable force among his kind. In 1403, Callian was killed by a rival group of vampires that managed to get him out into the punishing light of Sol (the Sun) where his body burned away to ashes. The ashes were collected by his creator and kept until the migration from Earth to Grace. Between the arrival and adapting to a new world, Cal's mortal keepers were killed in an early stage of the mutants created by Grace and his ashes became spread into the grisly scene. Through the essence of being a vampire and an effect of his life-consuming power, Callian was able to reconstruct his body with the blood and lingering life energy of the murdered and found himself in a confusing new home with a whole new set of languages to learn.
Callian has learned that most of his powers as a vampire are incredibly weak now, but also that he has developed a new power that he can use to temporarily disable potential prey or enemies. Cal was surprised to discover, purely by mistake, that the planet's sun did not burn him like Earth's did. He believes that it is because this sun is not Sol, the sun that was to bear his kind's curse of death in the light.
As a former Knight, Callian retains his chivalrous nature since he missed the centuries that would have killed his noble persona. It is due to this chivalry that he feels an obligation to the one that taught him how to cope with society in Grace, making him their loyal servant and, gradually, a powerful ally.
