Appearance: Mithias can't blend in amongst humans, unfortunately. He is about 6' 2", very long straight black hair, white skin, and vivid yellow/golden eyes. He looks like a mature, young adult in age. His nails are also white and clawlike. He is usually dressed in something durable and obscuring. If outside in the day, he'd have a wide brimmed hat or hood, usually everything is black. Has steel vambraces. 

Bio: It was the decline of the era of the Templar knights. The holy land had been lost, more than once, and the Turks had forced the order entirely out of the Middle East. Despite a blackening name and recent losses in war, the Templars were actually quite successful on another front. The order served God, King, and Pope not just in defending lands, but in defending humanity itself. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, The Templar Knights had a secretive sect that was specifically charged with hunting down supernatural beings. Witches, undead, abhorrent spirits, were wolves, and of course vampires, were their targets. "Vampire hunters," if you will, took their orders directly from His Holiness. Their ranks were usually filled by family members alone, yet rarely a gifted outsider would pass initiation. It was this line of work that brought Mithias in contact with vampires. 

Mithias was a young man, a hunter, a knight, and also soon to be a father. He lived in a small town in Germany, near the boarder with France. One day, he attracted the attention of a powerful vampire, because he questioned his purpose. Rather than killing a young vampire, as his order commanded of him, he secretly let her go. Witnessing that incident, the elder vampire took an interest in him, leading him on futile chases into the wilderness. Mithias never had any chance of catching him, and eventually, they began having conversations. The human was an interesting subject. The vampire tricked him into enthralling himself and manipulated him. The conclusion of this little dance however was rushed the day the Templars were abolished. 

It was Friday the 13th, October, when Mithias' life was turned upside down. The Pope had denounced them. Knights and anyone associated with them were being attacked, killed, their lands and gold confiscated, and their families imprisoned on suspicion of heresy and treason. Mithias fled but could not stop his pregnant wife from being taken. Knowing she would be tortured and imprisoned he was desperate for help. He quickly turned to the only one he knew who might aid him, the mysterious one in the woods at night who existed above all this human mayhem. 

In short, the vampire delighted in Mithias' plea. The formed an unwritten pact of blood and Mithias was given the power to save his family. He rescued his wife and saw her to safety and protected her. He killed anyone in his path. 

Time went by. Evelyn soon died of disease and little Damien had to be raised pretty much as an orphan. It was difficult for Mithias to be a father looking as he did, needing what he did, but Mithias was ever grateful to the vampire that had changed him. He was able to oversee his family lineage from the shadows for many, many generations. 

Mithias eventually discovered that his maker was a fickle, selfish creature who lived for amusement and satisfaction, but the two never came to confrontation. They parted ways. Mithias was free to live as he chose. 

Personality: Mithias' is verily lacking a sense of humor. He's honest and honorable, but is missing out on a lot of "fun" because of it. He would disagree however, citing his enjoyment of following his distant family and the beauty of nature. He doesn't revel in bloodshed or war at all, but accepts death as a natural part of life with no regrets. Avoiding regret is important for an immortal. 

Power: Totally immune to supernatural mind-affecting powers. Mithias' mental abilities have manifested inwards into an impenetrable wall. His mind cannot be read. He can chose to block out telepathic messages. He is unaffected by influence or suggestion or illusions. His emotions can't be altered. Trying turns out to be completely futile. For most of his vampire life, that was his only power, and he honed it to perfection for good reason. 

Side: Neutral between humans and vampires. Believes all beings have spirits or souls that are strengthened and deepened by life and experience. He doesn't consider humans to be special in their vulnerability. They are clearly capable of great evil, but he chalks it up to their ignorance and short lifespans. Nor does Mithias believe vampires are inherently superior beings, yet he revers elders who have attained great wisdom. Mithias would be angered by unnecessary slaughter in either direction. 

Mithias' maker was Morgan's grandsire, so he is technically related to her descendents as a kind of "uncle." He is primarily interested in preserving the vampire species and tends to agree wit hthe Blackmoors. 

Weapons: Usually 1-2 swords, 2-3 guns, barbed daggers, and a whip. Mithias makes use of modern weapons and technology. He might use: 
Two FN Five-seven's with armor piercing rounds. 
Modern, synthetic compound bow with poisoned arrows (kills humans, paralyzes vmapires)
Bolas, nylon cables.
Smoke grenades
Flash grenades
Twin titanium-alloy katana-like swords with uniquely designed clip-fastening device on hips/belt.
A simple whip, coiled against his lower back.
Three barbed daggers designed to get stuck in the flesh of the enemy and continuously drain blood through a groove down the middle of the blades. These are named daggers. 

Skills: Mithias loves driving, and this extends from cars, to heavy machienery, to aircraft. Horesback riding, swordsmanship, and archery are a given. He's also become good with guns and basic computer knowledge. Like most vampires, he has financial savvy and is an investor as an official occupation... albeit under a false name. He has reasons for knowing a fair amount of chemistry and can speak several European languages.

Flaws: Obviously, Mithias can't blend in with humans, except perhaps at goth rave parties. He hates rave music. He also can't read minds, and can't influence another's thoughts, emotions, or use any type of mind control. He can fall for a good liar.
