Background

From Russia with Love

Bob A'Par was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 1893 the second child of a small revenant family kept secretly by a powerful Tzimisce Archbishop. Before the end he would end up being the only boy of three children, one sister older and another younger all within 3 years of one another. After his youngest sister was born he saw much less of his parents and other strange servants of the house attended to the children's needs. At least partially, the kids were largely on their own and were not given a spoiled life, mostly kept confined in the cellar of the large mansion they lived in. As they grew older they started to receive more and more attention from those around the house, the attention would soon grow into training. They were educated, though only taught what the master had deemed an appropriate curriculum, this training went well beyond the normal education children receive and he was forced through rigorous physical training and combat drills starting at a young age. When he was 12 a strange women named Anastasiya came to live with the children, who were now allowed to have bedrooms in the man part of the mansion, though kept mostly to one wing. She began to inform them on matters of the occult and continued with their training and education, personally overseeing every aspect of it. Bob had always believed that she looked very much like the memories he had of his own mother, though he was certain that she was not. Questions regarding such things were strictly forbidden. Three years later, when Bob was 15 his parents returned to the manor, for Bob this is when the trouble began.

Shortly after his parents returned the master of the manor, several people whom Bob did not recognize, Anastasiya, and his parents met in a private room. The meeting was long and all three children were anxious to see what would come of it, where had their parents been, why did they return now? Anastasiya, who Bob now considered the closest thing he'd had to a real mother, never came out of that room. No one ever spoke of her, he made the mistake of asking only once. After that day rumors began to circulate through the house, rumors that the master was leaving. A week after the meeting he found out officially from his father, their family, along with the master and several other servants would be moving to The United States. The Sabbat there was struggling with the Cammerilla to claim lands it was believed that by sending the more senior members of The Sabbat there they could overpower the young Camerilla upstarts of America. In this The Sabbat was not entirely wrong.

Coming to America

Their arrival to America went without trouble, their travel by boat was long and they stayed below deck for almost the entire trip. Along their journey the children's parents began to explain the entire situation to them, they were vampires and soon the children would be too. The master was a more powerful vampire, and their family had served him for generations, before the children could become vampires their would need to be more children to continue the tradition. They established themselves in Mexico City, compared to their manor in Russia it was small, but the smaller number of servants within-it coupled with the kids new freedom made it seem like a much bigger world. The children began to take a more active role in the business of the household, they began to meet other Sabbat members and help with small dealings around town. They essentially functioned and were treated like ghouls, most visitors assumed they were.

In 1910, Bob was 17, he assisted his father in an assassination in downtown Mexico City, he thought it was odd that it didn't bother him at all, watching a man die. Over the next three years the children's involvement continued to grow, they began taking smaller missions on their own, some assassinations, and some missions slightly more public. They began to travel out of Mexico City, they made trips all along the west coast, and most commonly to Los Angles. By the time Bob was 20 he had killed enough people to impress most mass murders, he'd battled other Vampires as well as other supernatural creatures, besides lacking the thirst for blood he was nearly a vampire. It was then that it was explained to him that in order for their to be another generation in the family, he would need to sire a child with each of his sisters. Deep down, in the side of him that was still human he knew that something was gravely wrong with such an act, but again somehow he found himself not at all repulsed.

A year later his older sister Kelly had just had a daughter, and his younger sister Amber was pregnant with another child. The master of the house had assured him it would be a son, that he had done well in preserving the long line of his family. Late on the night that normal families celebrated the new year Hojo, Bob's father came to him, and told him that it was time. Kelly and Bob were to be turned tonight, Amber would be turned after the child was born. Bob and Kelly welcomed the embrace, they knew that it was coming and they were pleased to finally officially join the ranks of The Sabbat. Hojo sired them both that night, but what Bob thought would be a promising transformation and new power was not all that he had thought it would be. Kelly was even more distraught by the change, she grew increasingly bitter and angry, showing a temper that had never been present before now. She thirsted constantly, even immediately after feeding. On top of that Bob and Kelly were allowed less and less time in Mexico City, forced into North America to do their master's bidding, after a few months had passed they were called to return back to Mexico City. Amber's child had been born, a boy as was predicted, and it was time that Hojo turn Amber as well. However things did not go as planned that night.
