Just got a chance to read a bit of Vlad's bio and I noticed this:

[quote]*[b]His father became abusive and beat Vlad's mother[/b] unconscious, Vlad was taken away by authorities, [b]but his father requested he be left with family friends[/b];
*Vlad came into the family, [b]which consisted of a father and son[/b], and had done far better than Vlad's family, [b]so he vowed to inherit that family's wealth even over his stepbrother via trickery and psychological warfare[/b];
*It turns out the stepfather was smarter, and the son less wimpy, than credit had been given, and [b]Vlad and his stepbrother fought often enough that it became a problem[/b];
*[b]The stepfather put them both into a private training school[/b] to make better use of their aura than it currently had, [b]and their fighting was mostly quelled by stricter punishments[/b];[/quote]
