Personality: In a conventional sense, Meliscent is willing to do anything to achieve her ends. She is constantly plotting and strategizing, recognizing the impact of each and every decision. To her, life is merely a game of chess, and she happens to be setting her pieces in motion for checkmate. This attitude, feeling as if she controls the world, has caused her to become more and more self centered over the years. She cares about herself and hardly for anyone else, becoming increasingly cruel in punishments over the year.
However, she maintains her composure and grace, appearing as the proper queen she pretends to be. She does get her hands dirty, but doesn't allow it to taint her public image. Inspiring and persuasive, Meliscent manages to get people to rally behind her, no matter how twisted her ideals truly are. There is an alluring quality to her, the same attraction that some experience for the most twisted and dark characters in books and films. She
is all darkness and evils, drawing innocent souls and corrupting them, using them, and throwing them away once done.

Opinions On the World Order Given that this order is of Meliscent's design, she's quite happy with it. She allowed the other houses to remain in order to give some illusion of free will, hope, and independence. A strong believer that the illusion of free will is the opiate of the masses, Meliscent is content with things to remain the way they are. She no longer has to hide in the shadows or beg on the streets for crumbs--she (and her house) are on top.
Family History The Greys were a rather impoverished family, local to England. For generations, they were scholars hardly able to furnish much of a living, instead passing the debt on to the next generation to deal with. Overtime, this debt became exponential, and Meliscent's father jumped into Thames in order to avoid the debt collectors. Being the youngest daughter in the family, Meliscent had not yet been married off. All of her other siblings had arranged marriages, and at her mother's insistence, Meliscent took to the streets.
Character Specific History She earned more at night than her father had been able to do by day. She continued to work as a Lady of the Night, and one day, the famed Oscar Wilde was one of her customers. He solicited her services, asking her to accompany him to public events in order to quell any rumors that he was a homosexual. He called her the Lady Grey and wrote one of his most famous novels for her--
The Picture of Dorian Gray. For one summer, Meliscent pretended to be his lover, and he gave her a large sum of money for her services.
Using the money, she paid off her family debt just two weeks before her mother died of illness. Destitute and once again penniless, Meliscent grew bitter and returned to the streets, only with a different occupation. She became a contract killer, seducing men and poisoning them. The Lady Grey was the name she went by in business dealings, and this was quite successful, until one of her targets forced her to drink his blood. Within hours, Meliscent had attacked a drifter and drained him of his blood, and began her career as a vampire.
She continued her work as a contract killer, finding that it provided her wealth and food. She remained in this capacity for decades, enrolling in a university once they were properly open to women. The Lady Grey became a myth among criminal circles, yet those who contacted her for her services were never disappointed. It was Meliscent who organized the vampires to rise up once their numbers became too large, and due to her craftiness, she successfully organized the revolution.
In the wars, Meliscent served as the Queen of the House of Grey--named after her, of course. Cunning and cruel, Meliscent has survived numerous attempts at overthrow, growing more and more powerful by the day. She currently is engaged, yet there is no love there. It is merely a political alliance, and in secret, Meliscent is plotting to have her fiance killed.
She doesn't have any room for love.
