Even if he cannot use his magic there are other magics that can work. History: Jack was born into magic from the moment he was born. To the outsider it appeared that they were a normal family. They had a normal family except for the traffic death of his mother moments after his birth. It was as if she had just given up. Her son was raided by his grandmother and appeared just as normal as the rest of the family. He went to school like a normal kid and seemed to excel in sports in particular football. He got a scholar ship to LSU to play there and could have gone pro. Except he turned it down to return home and work with his grandmother. That was the only strange thing in his life. Now he works at his family's shop and seems content. Occult History: to understand Jack Laveau you must initiate the secret histories. You see, the family was not as normal as it would appear and Jack least of all. Before he was born, it was discovered that only one , mother or child, could survive. His mother chose him and thus the first male Laveau was born in almost 120 years. The family magic would skip a generation and would usually be given to the eldest femal child. Since his mother was dead, Jack was now the heir. It was unknown if the ancestors would even accept him. When he was five years old, his grandmother took him to the cemetery to meet his Great Great Grandmother. They entered the old mausoleum and Jack stood as his mother called out to their ancestors. The first spirit to arrive was a woman with a large headdress. The spirit looked at the boy and laid her shadowy hands on his shoulders. The other spirits did the same in return. The contract was sealed. They had accepted him. After that day, his grandmother started to teach Jack everything that he would need as a magical member. She then changed his name to Jack Laveau. Every witch in the family would take the last name of their most famous ancestor as respect. Jack returned early from college to take care of his ailing grandmother and to finish the ritual to make him a full user. Now he is sealed to the land of the Tremé and to help the problems of those around him. He supports the Rebels and wants to see the vampires dead. Laveau's are always fiery people. Occult Status:Not a leader of his coven but close to the top. Additional Info: He is a very good cook since he was taught by a master. It is not odd to see him walking from his house to the cemetery carrying bags of freshly made food for his ancestors.

He portrays a ‘tough guy’ demeanor, often intimidating men due to his huge stature and deep voice. Despite his attractive appearance, Nate has a tendency to release Werewolf pheromones into the air, adding more desire and charm to his beauty; Nate is practically irresistible to women and men alike.

He had a tough father whom was the Alpha of the pack, a sensitive and nurturing mother, and two careless older brothers whom constantly fought with each other. Childhood was great for Nate, he has faint memories of his first hunt with his father; which was terrifying but exciting. Though he had some good memories, life was constantly moving for his family; since his father was dominant with the pack, Nate spent most of his days out in the wilderness hunting alone. As he became older, he became more involved with the pack; treated with dignity and respect for mastering his werewolf abilities at such a young age. Around that time, Nate would attend weekly hunts and gatherings with the pack; being carefully guarded as he hunted deer and antelope, he had never felt closer to his family. What Nate didn’t know however, was that a bloody rivalry between the Vampire and Werewolf Hierarchy’s were in a cold war; and unknowing to the pack, the Vampire Hierarchy was planning to break the silence with a total annihilation of the Werewolf Hierarchy on a day that nobody would expect. The day was Nate’s tenth birthday, the pack gathered around in a deep cave, gnawing on the bones of a deer carcass while toasting to the young boy. One by one however, wolves began to disappear from the celebration; his father went out to investigate only to find lifeless werewolf remains, mutilated beyond recognition. In a panic, his father coaxed the Nate and family out of the cave and back to the cabin they lived in; where the Vampires were lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike. As soon as the door was locked and the family headed toward the basement, an ambush of night crawlers had pinned the Alpha down; tearing at his skin as he began to transform. Nate’s mother and brother had begun the transformation in attempts to save the mangled Alpha, but to no avail; their necks were snapped and ripped from their bodies in front of the ten year old boy. Nate lay petrified on the floor, crying and closing his eyes at the gruesome scene; which the vampires found oddly amusing. They took a lit candle out of his birthday cake, and began to morbidly sing ‘happy birthday’ at the boy; teleporting into thin air once the song was complete. After the slaughter, Nate was rushed to live with his uncle in a shack several miles from civilization in the deep woods of New Orleans; the house was so well hidden that only a werewolf could smell the trail to the shack. Within those years, Nate was homeschooled by his uncle, becoming very cunning and smart until his graduation. The duo survived on the wildlife for food and the lake for water, living a feral life in the woods and perfecting his body and mind until he became of age. On his 18th birthday, Nate’s uncle felt had matured enough to be unrecognizable, his uncle assured him that it was his mission to avenge his father. He had the Alpha family birth mark and immense power that no other werewolf could possess. With that, Nate returned to life in the city, purchasing a Lake house far out in the wilderness with the money he made after college with a degree Environmental Science; making sure to lay-low until the time is right to strike, and eliminate the Vampire dictatorship once and for all.
