History: Early Life - Young Adult: Grew up in a small part of the American Southeast. Father was a farmer. Not much is known about this time in Aidan's life. Adulthood: He met Jenny at a Fair and instantly fell for her. Within a year they were married and she was already pregnant, against her father's wishes. Aidan himself decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a farmer, though he greatly disliked it. He had a few slaves, a gift from Jenny's father (a rich plantation owner). The marriage was good, but after the loss of their first and then second daughter, Aidan and Jen started to grow apart. The Civil War: Aidan joined in the Civil War many years later, perhaps to spite his wife or maybe in an attempt to die. His brother and him were already estranged and greatly hated one another and the two would often seek one another out in battles to kill the other. Adrian shot Aidan in the stomach (under the rib), and when he went to finish him off, Aidan pulled out his knife, stabbing his brother and slowly killing him. His famous last words that he whispered to his brother were "Now we are truly blood brothers." Aidan would later be shot again and stabbed in the Civil War until it finally ended. He found himself on the losing side and it was bitter for him. The Turning: Out of money, in a marriage that was failing, Aidan took to drinking. He as notorious for becoming violent while drinking, even towards his wife.It's said Aidan was drinking at a Saloon when a prostitute (who was a vampire) bit and fed off of Aidan, killing him. When he awoke, she told him how he could live forever, him and his wife (the vampire had already given him her blood, thus .. in essence, giving Aidan no choice in turning). Jenny, however, did have the choice and didn't want to turn and thought him a monster. What happened after that is unknown. Present: For a time, Aidan was a gunslinger, an Outlaw with other vampires. As time past and the Wild West slowly died, he tried to become one with society and attempted a normal life as a banker (which failed). He then created his own small Coven, but it quickly fell apart (mainly due to his negligence and other vampires enticing away his followers). He even had a human slave for awhile, and was beginning to fall for her. But he set her free, for his and her own protection. Since then, Aidan has been a wanderer. Going from town to town. Taking small jobs and staying under the radar. Who he was before being turned into a vampire is very vague and largely unknown. He keeps that a secret. Aidan murdered someone and it has haunted him for all these years, causing him to drown the pain with anything.
Personality: Tough, aggressive, uncooperative, hard to warm up to, loyal. Once someone gets past his walls, Aidan is a friend for life. He generally dislikes his own kind more than anything else (due to the fact he was turned sort of against his will). He is a jealous person with an addictive personality. He tends to be emotional detached and fears romantic relationships (he loves his wife, even after her death). He's sarcastic and can easily be seen by others as an angry and cold-hearted individual.
Notables: Mortimer Draven, the only person he's known for a long period of time that hasn't betrayed him or hurt him. He considers Mort his best friend, even if he never admits it or shows it. Mort is like a brother and a father figure to Aidan.
Residence: Unknown
Work: Jobless
Tattoos, Piercings, Scars: No tattoos, no piercings, many small scars from childhood injuries (falls, scraps). His right knuckles are scarred up from fights. He has the scar of where he was bitten on his left shoulder, close to his neck (he was bitten from behind). Aidan has a bullet wound on his left side, under his ribs. He also has a cut/stab-like wound on the palm (and inside his fingers, as if he grabbed the knife or sword) of his right hand. Both are rumored to be from the Civil War.
