Character Mini-Biography

As soldiers overtook the Iberian Peninsula, Islam was forced upon the people. Many were given no choice in the matter, and even more were collateral damage of conquest. Niklas was one result of the Umayyad conquest.

Living at a crossroads with his mother, he entertained passersby with music, while his mother entertained them with her body. When Niklas was eleven, someone murdered his mother for "sinning against Allah" by selling her body. As he reached adulthood, Niklas was forced into aiding "his" people in a war against the Franks.

This was a war that history called The Battle of Tours. Fighting on horseback, he was a fierce warrior, but a spear to the horse's leg sent the young warrior to the cold hard ground. Within seconds, his dying horse fell on top of him, crushing him.

Feeling his life leaving him, it wasn't until nightfall that someone found him. It was the vampire Malik Akhbar, who had been following the wake of destruction and occasionally helping kill a few of the opposing side while they slept.

Pulling the broken man out from under the dead horse, Malik decided to take a chance and turn Niklas. By the next night, Niklas was no longer "alive", and his body was all healed. Rapidly, the two of them hurried out of the country to rejoin others Malik created.

Centuries later, Niklas was one of many created by Malik, and they finally returned to Spain. Niklas had created a few fledglings of his own, ones who were more like a harem of lovers than anything else. Unluckily, this was during the time of the Spanish Inquisition. After another century, Niklas was the only one left.

Over the remaining centuries, Niklas adopted a surname and tried to live as quiet a life as he could...just so the Inquisition would leave him alone. It was during this time that Niklas pursued his music. He focused on the violin and musical composition. He ghost wrote several symphonies under many different names.

After spending centuries traveling all over Europe, including meeting and befriending the infamous vampire Tanja, it was time to see new lands. Boarding a ship, he sailed for the New World. After arriving in the Americas, he settled in New York. A few decades later, he heard talk about a horrible disaster. A cruise ship had sunk in a devastating way, and many people died.

Niklas ended up stalking one of the survivors, a young British woman. Feeling that he could help her, and in a way, help himself, he turned her.
