JECHT RUTELLA || JULIAN RING
April 28, 1581
139 years old

Jecht was born in England 1581 as a human named Julian Ring. His father was a nobleman and who married a women of wealth, though her family gained their fortune through hunting the supernatural. His father had no idea she was a hunter, and only found out when they were attacked when Julian was only a few months old. Julian's mother died because of a vampire wanting revenge on her family. After her death, Julian's father became a hunter obsessed with revenge against the vampire who stole her life. He trained Julian how to hunt and fight, but Julian hated it, and hardly took his father's teachings seriously. He went on hunts with him but it was always easy targets that would not put Julian in danger, so he never realized how dangerous the job could potentially become, and he loved it when his father would be gone for months. When he was 25, Julian was dragged along another mission with his father but it quickly spiraled out of control. The two of them were attacked by a nest of vampires and they hated Julian's father plus his mother's side of the family. Out of spite they turned Julian, the only heir his father and his mother's family had, into the creature they hated most: a vampire.

Julian was taken by the vampire clan to recover while his father was left behind to feel the despair of his only son being turned into a monster. Julian hated the vampires for ruining his life and he refused to willingly drink blood. Julian's sire was a German vampire named Wolfram von Jecht who refused to let him die and often forced him to drink blood. Two months later, Julian was still difficult to control and refusing to accept his vampirism but that all changed when his father found the clan. He thought his father was there to rescue him, but to his surprise his father tried to kill him. No matter how much he pleaded Julian's father called him a monster and refused to accept him as his son anymore. Julian was forced to fight his father when he attacked and, due to the lack of blood in his system, accidently lost control of himself and killed his father. When he came to his senses, he realized what he had done and fell into despair, only surviving because of the care of Wolfram.

Julian became mentally unstable and could barely control his vampirism at times to the point where the other vampires considered killing him because he was a threat, but Wolfram refused to let his child die, and the two of them fled the clan. Julian became more accepting of Wolfram afterwards and started seeing him as the father he should have had, not the vengeful killer his birth father had become. Julian called him "Jecht" because when they first met he refused to call him by his name due to hating Wolfram, but even through the hatred had subsided, Julian was too used to calling him Jecht and continued to do so. They traveled many places together, often travelling the sea on a small ship Wolfram acquired, and Julian was taught many things by him. He learned how to hunt humans for blood and to control his instincts, but also how to navigate a boat and to read the stars like a compass during their travels. Unfortunately, their adventures came to an end after five years, when hunters found them. Wolfram was killed while trying to buy time for Julian to escape to their boat, but there was a storm occurring, which made it difficult for Julian to steer it. The only good thing about the storm was that the hunters would not dare go after him. The storm caused the ship to wreck and Julian fell into the sea, only surviving because of his vampire healing abilities, and eventually washed up unconscious on a beach some time later.

He was found by a woman named Joyce Rutella, and when he woke up, he panicked and the first word out of his mouth was "Jecht". Joyce mistook this for Julian's name and he didn't bother to correct her, too distracted by the death of Wolfram to care. The kind woman allowed him to stay with her and wanting a new start in life, he posed as her son, from that moment on going by the name Jecht Rutella.

Jecht was happy to finally have a "mother" in his life. She was widowed and lived alone, so she was happy to have Jecht live with her. He took care of the manual labor around the house and insisted she relax. Joyce was a former dancer in the court ballet so she did not like sitting still, even in her old age, and for fun she taught Jecht some dance moves. Jecht took her teachings seriously and committed every dance step she taught him to memory, from time to time wondering if his birth mother would have taught him to dance too if she had lived. Jecht got a job and did his best to blend in with the humans, normally only feeding off travelers who would not stick around in town long enough for people to notice a vampire was among them. He worked at the port and though he longed to return to his life to the sea, he was happy living with Joyce, and stayed with her for years. When she passed away Jecht felt anguished over losing another important person in his life. He finally understood why most vampires stayed away from humans and realized why, even with their powerful strength and abilities, that so many of his kind believed they were cursed. He resolved to never again get attached to one and began seeing them only as food.

He grieved alone in their old house and only left once in awhile to feed, until he finally decided he could not stand living there any longer, and he ventured into town trying to figure out what to do. He found his answer when a group of human pirates arrived to pillage the village. Jecht expressed interest in joining them and although the captain was hesitant, a few of his men had died, so he reluctantly allowed Jecht to join. Jecht stayed with them for only a few hours because that was how long it took him to easily overpower the human captain. He bit into his neck and killed him by draining his body's blood, and threatened the rest of the crew into obeying him. Those who resisted were either thrown overboard or thrown into the cellar to be kept as food, while those who submitted were allowed to roam the ship as his temporary crew. He traveled to different ports in different countries, and within a month he met another vampire named Trixxtal.

He abandoned his human crew in favor of his new friend, Trixxtal, and the two of them decided to travel with each other instead. They went to many places, one of the most significant being a city of gold where they obtained magical items that granted them powers of water and lightning. They were mistaken as pirates in one town, but the idea intrigued them, and decided to become actual pirates. Over the next hundred years they gathered a pirate crew, a ship, stole treasure, attacked other crews, and many other things that gave them a fearsome reputation. Jecht and Trixxtal, the captain and first mate of the FlyingDeath, terrified people on both land and sea.

Jecht has stayed by Trixxtal's side but their relationship definitely has it's ups and downs. Jecht's pride starts a lot of arguments between them so they fight often, but when they aren't bickering, Jecht trusts the other vampire completely and will go to great lengths to make Trixxtal happy. Jecht cares for him deeply and sometimes treats him like a lover, despite never verbally expressing any romantic feelings. But his actions convey more than his silence does and Jecht sometimes joins Trixxtal in calling each other affectionate nicknames, has initiated kisses with him, and gave him a special pocketwatch as a gift.
