Sylum Clan

Sylum: Hunter

His parents are Paul and Rebecca Messer. Paul leads a life of crime following in the Messer tradition. While his mother did love him, she ultimately sided with her husband and left Danny without support or direction to make a change in his life.

For a time, Danny fell in with the Tanglewood Boys and Sonny Sassone, only realized his mistake when he watched them kill some wannabe kid.  Danny convinces Sonny that for him to go to college, he needed to leave the Tanglewood Boys. Sonny granted him an outdate figuring Danny would fail and come crawling back.

Once Sonny realzied Danny wasn’t coming back, and was starting a career in baseball, he broke his wrist ending it, think it would pull him back into the Tanglewood.

Danny threw himself into his studies and got his degree, then joined the NYPD, working his way through overt and covert discrimination caused by bearing the Messer name and became a CSI.

When he turned his back on the Messer name and what it stood for, Paul Messer disowned him.

Sonny, became impatient for Danny to come crawling back to him, and went after his prize.  Sassone attacked Danny in his apartment and Turned him Without Consent.

Sylum: Hunter

As the Afternoon Fic is finished and now in a full edit before release during Advent – I figured to post the new bios for this month’s Sylum Inspiration.

Mac Taylor was born and raised in Chicago.  His parents David & Kristen both worked, and provided him with a good childhood.

He was mostly raised by his Uncle Dan Taylor, a Vietnam Veteran.  He learned a lot about life, and ended up following his footsteps and joined the US Marine Corps.  After boot camp he learned that his uncle had passed, leaving him everything.   Not needing the money at the time, he set up charities in his uncles name, and set some aside.

Once he left the Marine Corps he joined the NYPD – working his way up to Lieutenant in the Crime Scene Unit. He met Claire and the two married and settled into life in New York.

Mac lost his wife Claire in the 9/11 attacks. He threw himself into his work, avoiding feeling anything. The only one who stayed close to him was his friend and colleague Stella Bonasara.

His Uncle had told him about Vampires, having fought with a unique group during the war.   So when he arrived at Daniel Messer’s home to the scene of Sonny Sassone Turning the young man, he reacted instantly.

Lucky for him Erik Brooks (Blade) was pursing Sonny and finished Daniel’s Turning.

Less than 24 hours later, Mac was Turned and Mated to Danny.
