Sylum: Hunter<\/h2>\n

***<\/p>\n

So you’re thinking … wait he’s not in Passion Kin Clan.<\/p>\n

No he’s not … but Passion is a small Clan and we’re all out of Hunters.<\/p>\n

So here’s a random one \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

John<\/a> grew up in California with a very Catholic mother. \u00a0He never asked where his father was, knowing it would upset her to talk about it. \u00a0He learned later in life that he had disappeared when John was very young. \u00a0There were rumors of gambling debts, entanglements with the mob, and that he ran off with his secretary.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0His Confessor suggested he take a pilgrimage to the Vatican.<\/p>\n

Constantine knelt in front of La Piet\u00e0 and prayed for guidance. \u00a0When he stood up, he came face to face with\u00a0Andrew Kiernan. \u00a0The two men talked for days, ending with John leaving Seminary and following his true calling. \u00a0He studied with Keirnan in The Congregation for the Causes of Saints, and spent the next decade traveling the world, studying miracles and holy relics.<\/p>\n

He returned to Los Angeles at the news of the death of his mother. \u00a0Settling 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. \u00a0While investigating a missing person, he stumbled upon\u00a0Balthazar\u00a0and his \u2018brides\u2019. \u00a0As the investigation progressed he got pulled into Balthazar\u2019s schemes. \u00a0As he tried to escape, he was Turned without Consent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
