Sylum Inspiration: Thomas Anderson
Border Clan: Lead Hunter
Thomas Anderson was born in 1890 to John and Michelle Anderson.
He grew up in Baltimore, Maryland and lost his parents to a house fire in 1895 while he was off visiting relatives. His uncle, unable to care for him along with his own seven children, sent him to live with his grandparents in London.
He enlisted in the military in 1914 and was part of the African theatre in World War I. During these skirmishes, he befriended Morpheus, who Turned him when he was mortally wounded.

Their relationship starts with a professional offer of assistance and through instant messaging, texting and phone calls they invade each others’ lonely and yet busy days, learning about themselves and slowly falling in love as they discover they both need something from the other until they finally get a meeting face to face and can get up close and personal.

Last Day: Ask A Pirate!!
As we’re prepping for Pirate Appreciation Day on September 19th, we’re looking for question for our resident Pirates!
Okay guys!! Seriously do I need to start keelhauling?!
Do you really want pouty Pirates, because no one had questions?? We’ve got 11 Pirates … ELEVEN! There must be more questions than the few we’ve gotten.
So who exactly are our resident Pirates?
Captain Jack Sparrow (The one and only)
Captain Hector Barbossa (Technically)
Captain Warrick Calhoun (Pirate!)
Captain Edward Kenway (Fights like a Devil dressed like a Man)
So please send the Vampire Gazette your questions and we’ll herd the Pirates (be something akin to herding cats) together to have a panel discussion to answer your questions.

Sylum Inspiration: John Constantine
Sylum: Hunter
***
So you’re thinking … wait he’s not in Passion Kin Clan.
No he’s not … but Passion is a small Clan and we’re all out of Hunters.
So here’s a random one 🙂
***
John grew up in California with a very Catholic mother. He never asked where his father was, knowing it would upset her to talk about it. He learned later in life that he had disappeared when John was very young. There were rumors of gambling debts, entanglements with the mob, and that he ran off with his secretary.
As a young man he was called to the Priesthood, and went through the eight years of Seminary only to start getting doubts months before he was to be Ordained. His Confessor suggested he take a pilgrimage to the Vatican.
Constantine knelt in front of La Pietà and prayed for guidance. When he stood up, he came face to face with Andrew Kiernan. The two men talked for days, ending with John leaving Seminary and following his true calling. He studied with Keirnan in The Congregation for the Causes of Saints, and spent the next decade traveling the world, studying miracles and holy relics.
He returned to Los Angeles at the news of the death of his mother. Settling back into the city, he started a Private Investigator business, where he took a few odd jobs, but still his focus was on the work sent to him by Kiernan. While investigating a missing person, he stumbled upon Balthazar and his ‘brides’. As the investigation progressed he got pulled into Balthazar’s schemes. As he tried to escape, he was Turned without Consent.
