*Appearance: From a distance, the man seems an average height, neither muscular nor fat, but lean and solid. Black hair falls straight down just past his shoulders. He refuses to wear wigs, powders or ribbons, preferring it to hang limp sometimes even covering his eyes. We will get to the eyes later, they should be saved for last. His dress is always elegant pushing boundaries of extreme grandeur: multicolored velvet waistcoats, white starched cotton dress shirts with lace at the throat and wrists, tight leather breeches, shining gold buckles on polished boots. Always groomed to perfection, he is a control fanatic of that you can be sure. Nails trimmed, filed. Mouth full of polished white teeth, perfectly cared for though a touch animalistic with enlarged canines. He usually wears one of four distinct facial expressions: bored with his mind elsewhere, charming with a non threatening smile, brooding with his brow furrowed, or arrogant and proud. And his eyes, they are what bring him from average to unforgettable, the gaze glows yellow electrified like the wolf he can transform into,
*About:How to describe the inner workings of a man when he hasn't gotten it all worked out for his own self? His major faults are a lack of morals, self centeredness, sulking when he doesn't get his way and bemoaning the bad situations he often places himself in. He holds onto grudges, to make an enemy simply mock him or make of him the brunt of some joke, his arrogance can not allow it. Knowing he is a preternatural creature with all the benefits only strokes the ego inflamed by his wealth, looks and keen intelligence. Yet Lachesis is not all bad: society seems made for his charm, he never breaks a confidence, he is generous, willing to fight for a cause. As a father, he imitates his own upbringing by spoiling and encouraging his boys to be men; with his daughter he feels quite different though [heaven help the first lad who seeks her attention]
*Weaknesses/Fears: Lisa: he fears, respects, wants to please and protect her at all costs. His children: Jean Pierre, Jericho and Isonette are precious to him, he would kill and die for them. The family history: he'd rather it all stay secret. Women: Lachesis is a hound. As much as his lady terrifies him, as much as he cares for her he can't quite hold himself in check. Speed: the trained fighter is a brute strength type of fighter. Vanity: a proud individual, he doesn't like being mocked or made a laughingstock of. He needs his gentleman status, his big house, fancy carriage and all the trappings of wealth. Silver: touching it is unpleasant and being impaled with something forged of it would be extremely painful and might lead to death. Beheading/Removal of Heart: doom.
*Weapons/Magic: His body is a weapon. A born werewolf he has no difficulty changing to a deadly beast, complete with claws and fangs. But this is a secret he thinks must be kept so a sharp rapier always hangs from his hip.
*History: Born minutes after a twin sister into a life of privilege, Lachesis's father used his immortality and cunning to secure a vast fortune. The name du Ponteloc was spoken with respect. As eldest son and heir he was incredibly spoiled, only the firmer hand of his mother kept him from growing up to be insufferable. To keep their race as werewolf a secret the twins werent allowed to enter society until in complete control of their darker sides in their late teens. While Clotho was groomed to be a perfect wife, Lach was encouraged to be as wild and devilish as possible. Everything changed when the twins reached one and twenty. Their father was brutally murdered in their own home, Lachesis saw a tall blonde vampire leap from the window and vanish into the woods. Sent out to examine the family properties [also because his attachment to his twin sister began to concern their mother] he arrived at the family estate in Merovech. Soon after he was forced to submit to marrying the first girl he seduced in town, Khaska Adair, who was soon pregnant. A visit from Clotho and the news that his mother ended her life ruined any chance the couple had of happiness. The bond between the twins disturbed the Mrs. du Ponteloc to the point that she abandoned her new husband, their home and Jean Pierre, the babe she birthed. His sister soon quit the house as well. To console himself Lachesis formed a pack of werewolves, crowned himself alpha and set about making conquests of the three femmes: a harlot, an innocent and a tyrant. The first proved no challenge, the second was too difficult, and the third was a bitch, Ms. Elizabeth Critch. When the first tried to claim him as her mate, his Lisa beat her to death ensuring her rank of alpha and Lach as her mate. Respect and yes, fear, surprisingly led to affection for the foul tempered wench; she gave him a second son Jericho before Pierre's second birthday. Love was not enough to fully tame Lachesis; six years of soft seduction cracked the innocent, Kitami Aklia, and one brief union resulted in the birth of a daughter named for his mother Isonette. Trouble started then for the girl had her father's distinctive eye coloring, as the years passed his pack fell to his pride and philandering reputation. The invitations stopped arriving, people began to whisper when he walked by, even the poorest beggar preached on a corner of wolves descending on the town, incestuous devil twins and yellow eyed monster-children. Lisa has little patience for his sulking about, leaving was their best option. The family booked passage and departed to the city of Avaleur. Still Lachesis is king of putting himself in the worst situations, without telling Lisa he also booked passage for Kitami and their little girl.
*Pets: Several horses, hunting dogs and his wife's pet wolf
Jean Pierre du Ponteloc
*NPC: (playby: Ian Sommerhaulder) Lachesis's 17 year old son, born from his first wife, Khaska du Ponteloc. Looking at him you see a not yet grown copy of his father save a few minor differences. Pere, as he is called, stands an inch or two shorter, black hair doesn't quite touch his collar, his dress is less extravagant, he almost always wears an agreeable smile, and his eyes are the color of the ocean instead of the bold yellow. He is a sweet boy, well mannered, a follower rather than leader. His good nature is often confused for simplicity, avoiding confrontation at all cost can be viewed as cowardice, wanting to please seems like kissing arse; do not be misled he just learned it is best to stay out of the way.
