Marcus

Marcus Wheelwither may seem like on of the best young doctors teaching interns at Tulane University, but like many in the Big Easy, he harbors a darkness. He is a man who has found faith, a rarity in these times. The question that haunts him, drives him....

Will his beliefs be enough to overcome the Beast that lives in his soul?

Marcus was born as a Dhampir, a mortal mother and a vampire father. He has lived through the the civil war, serving as a medic, and serving his father's coven, The Wheelwither Coven with the wounded wretches of that war. His soul was almost lost to the darkness. His medical skills have always put him in a position to aid his father. When the World War came, he was called upon by the coven to perform again. But, his humanity cried out in pain to cease. In his darkest hour, he found a friend. Sister Mary Temperence, a stout nun, saw his true nature, helped him to ease away from the bloodlust of his vampire heritage, and showed him the wonders of true faith.

When his father, only known as Alister, saw the path his son was treading, he ended the nuns life.

And, it was in this moment, that God helped Marcus find the strength to stand up to his father, to hold a crucifix without pain, and cast his father out, sent him fleeing back to the darkness he came from.

Alister knew fear that night. but he also knew his son of old. His son had bathed in the blood of thousands. It was just a matter of time before he would come home again. The father sought out the son, made it clear his disapproval, but also his newfound respect for his son's wishes. He only asked, that Marcus not forget his true family over the lonely years...
