Significant Affiliations/Connections to the Current Crew: Kaizen Corporation. Jefferson Smock (father, alive, vampire) Katia Smock (mother, alive, vampire) three older siblings. Tenuous connection to Seth Frost and Annari Neuriko
Appearance: Brown hair, brown eyes, pale skin. Barely looks a day over 18. Clean cut with a lean, toned body. Some of it is the natural vampire genes but he also keeps in shape with a rigorous daily workout routine. Generally attractive but not excessively so. Also has a comprehensive skin routine.
Cade has the vampire mutation. so he is stronger than he looks, faster than he has any right to be, and has a nice set of fangs. Oh, and bloodlust.
Personality: Narcissist, spoiled, obsessive. Like most vampires, Cade is a natural born predator but that nature is magnified by the fact that he's never really been told no and his family has enough money to persuade the people who would. He's not the most emotionally stable person but he's great at hiding it behind a manufactured facade of charm and sophistication.
He's not the most booksmart of the Smock children but he's certainly not stupid. That said, he can be impulsive, especially when it comes to chasing his obsessions, and that often leads to not thinking things through or covering his tracks properly.
History: Born in 2290, Cayden Smock is the baby of the family by fourteen years, joining his three vampire siblings. With his birth, the family finally felt complete but as he grew, it became clear that the climate in the Smock household was maybe not the best for a child with his particular temperament. It wasn't so much that Cayden was a bad seed as much as a potential liability.
Physically, Cayden was a late bloomer, but his vampire mutation was a different story. Like all vampire children, Cayden got his fangs when he lost his baby teeth and his adult teeth grew in, but unlike other vampire children, he began showing signs of bloodlust around this time as well. His increased strength and speed weren't far behind and were, in fact, exceptional for his age and size.
Some who knew about his peculiarities thought Cayden to be the next rung on Asphodel's evolutionary ladder and neither Jefferson nor Katia did anything to change this assumption. They were the only ones who knew the actual truth, though.
Cayden's obsessive tendencies also appeared early on, with the first object of his fascination being his human nanny. His next, a slightly older student while he was away at boarding school. And so it continued, with him cycling through one person after the next with varying levels of interest, and racking up a long list of offenses at his multitude of schools - trespassing, assault, harassment, stalking.
And these were easy enough for his powerful family to sweep under the rug - in independent space anyway. Goibniu, being a Coalition planet, was a different story and rape was an offense not so easily overlooked. They refused to expunge Cayden's record when he was kicked out of the prestigious boarding school on their planet, though the short legal battle that followed resulted in sealed records instead. It wasn't perfect, but it would have to do for now.
After completing his schooling, Cayden took a position in Kaizen Corporation and has been working for his family's company ever since.
