PERSONALITY:

Pleasant: He's he type to always smile and say hello to people he passes on the street. He tends to be polite most of the time unless someone sets him off for some reason then he can garner a bit of a temper.
Quiet: While he's not a shy person he doesn't tend to speak unless he really has something to say.
solemn: He does have a sense of someone who is lost about him. He still has a bit of a broken heart though he tries not to show it.
Open: He's a friendly person, he doesn't shy away from conversations once they are started. except for his major secrets he's a pretty open book.
Over-confident: He tends to think that he can get himself out of any situation. He trusts a bit too much in his own intuition. He can be a bit authoritative at ti
Kind- He is a good person at heart. He loves helping others ann going that extra mile.
Adaptable: This man can adapt to almost any situation at the drop of a hat. It isn't hard for him to put on a show if he needs to save face , nor for him to drag up a quick persona or charm to get himself out of trouble with his silver tongue.

Intelligent: he's a pretty smart guy and good at strategy. He can even be a bit sly at times.

Adventurous: He likes exploring new avenues. It probably gets him into more trouble than anything.

Creative: he does have a bit of a creative streak in him. He admires his son's ability with art.
Unconventional: well he's not the most average of people. He doesn't quite see the truth as something very... stable...it can be manipulated as needed . He tends to see the law more as guidlines than anything else also. While when it comes to things that hurt other people he's vehemantly against...stealing from the rich and other such actions aren't really at the top of his bad list. In some ways he's not even sure if he'll really stop his side job as a hacker when everything is done.
Outgoing: he's a pretty outgoing person.

HISTORY:

He was born to an average family ( or at least who people thought were average) in California. As far as finances when they were pretty comfortable. his parent's were both immigrants...one from japan the other from Russia. Both had been extremely talented however, they had never really done much with their talents. However, they were able to get decent paying jobs to send their child to school. He went through high-school and began college as a physics major. This was when things started to take a turn for both the worst and best. he had just gotten engaged to Moira...his high-school sweetheart. however, that same year his mother was diagnosed with colon cancer and just a week after his father died in a drug overdose. He was 19 years old when he married Moira. His mother died the week after the wedding and a few months after he discovered that His wife however, couldn't conceive. Only a week later he was diagnosed with a non-aggressive but unheard of cancer . In case he wasn't going to survive, he was dedicated to leaving an heir and some funds behind with his wife. He had started to take up hacking into systems for money. Only stealing from those who could afford it of course. Sometimes even playing a bit of a Robin hood. financially she would be secure , but she had always dreamed of having a family. He wanted to be certain to leave her with something if she died.

Vlad had started to become sicker though. It was convenient enough that he ran into a demon as one of his "clients". The demon however gave him a different offer. He bargained his soul for a child, and a child he did receive. His wife Moira conceived however, the pregnancy was perfect in the start. Everything seemed to be going well, he had even been told that he was in remission. By the end she barely had the strength to stay alert. Both she and the child died from complications. he had lost everyone and everything. He didn't really have anyone holding onto him, he had no one and nothing to hold on to. he was done. He walked out of the hospital and made his way towards the dam... he was just going to let the water take him as it would. On his way he passed a building...her heard a sound. Cats whining? ... he went towards the sound...babies...crying. He saw a box...children that were just abandoned. It kindled some amount of anger that someone would ever do something like this... he wanted to take them all and save them...but he went to the police. He wanted to adopt them all but he knew it wasn't feasible. They were going to place the children in the system... he had even seen the shelter that they were heading to.

He adopted one of them and relocated to Essex new jersey. He just wanted to get away from everything else. . It felt like choosing the lesser of two evils but he did. he loved the young boy instantly...even when he discovered the boy's...gift. He wasn't really shocked by it having met a demon in person...it did take some research for him to understand how to handle the boy especially when he wasn't a boy. As the years passed he and his son whom he'd named Saxon grew older . He eventually ended up adopting a foster child Evangeline. She like her now brother was a Fox shifter. At least He had recorded them as siblings. He thought it would be great for Saxon to have a sister...even if they weren't biological...they didn't really need to know. He had a family. He was happy, until everything started to take a turn for the worst.

That demon had returned to lay claim to Vlad's soul. He protested due to his losing everything...but the demon reminded him. He asked for a child...and now he had two. That's when the cancer suddenly went out of remission. He started becoming ill again. He wouldn't dare tell his children why. Not until he was on his death bed and he begged the demon for another deal. The demon offered for him to earn his soul back. He'd have to steal for him... different artifacts...and pieces of art...depending on what the demon wanted. If he succeeded in meeting a certain quota...which he never told Vlad what it was. Then he'd be set free. If he ever missed a job (not that it was an easy thing to do since the demon held his soul...disobedience was almost impossible)...he'd be back on his death bed and his soul would belong to the demon.

Vlad took the deal and was thus marked with the brand of the demon. He had to He practically became an indentured servant to the man, his soul in the hands of the demon. . He couldn't leave his two kids behind. He tried to do the jobs on his own at first, While he was fine with the jobs that just required a bit of hacking in and transferring funds ...Etc. He soon found out that he wasn't quite healthy enough to pull off the major thefts and the quick getaways that he needed to make off with the art that he ordered to steal. His knowledge of physics worked amazing for clean getaway's in theory but he just didn't have the vitality or agility to pull it off. He was distraught and didn't know what he was going to do . That's when he admitted to his son everything that was wrong. Saxon...was willing to help him. Vlad didn't care for the idea (mostly because he didn't want to endanger Saxon..not so much because of the stealing part)...but it was going to be temporary. And as long as the jobs weren't too risky he wouldn't get caught Vlad would still be there to deal with closing off the computer systems and keeping his son's identity safe and his record clean. He'd just have to make the plans for Saxon to follow and everything would work out. With every job the mark fades just a bit...but it has a good ways to go. They could soon go back to being a normal family again.
