Personality:
Graves follows his own rules when it comes to responsibilities, cast out of Japan at a young age for a vampire, he worked his way around the world, searching for answers. When he found the answers he seeked, he discarded them as if they were nothing. The answers did not serve him justice, nor did they resolve any unfinished business. Blood was a delicacy he believes it's only purpose was to maintain life and try to keep from abusing off it. 

Becoming a citizen in America, he found himself drafted into wars, keeping his identity a secret, he thrashed through countless human lives. Drinking only what he needed to survive, returning a war hero - to the unsuspecting country that trusted him. The blood of his comrades, and the opposing forces still fresh on his hands, the taste still left on his lips. 

It's one thing to dream of monsters, and fear the shadows in the corners, but to become one and live like one. He hated it, pushed it into the deepest darkest corners of his mind, but in the darkest of nights - he enjoyed it. 

as a human, you fear the unknown, you fear death around every corner. But it does not stop you from doing the most amazing things - Being a vampire, living with immortality, every fear a human feels about everything, is multiplied when it comes to the rise of the sun. Learning to travel and survive while hiding the beast takes a lot out of people.
