• Description

  Taken in with the aristocratic attire of the 1800's he could be found in Victorian style clothing and jewels. Gabriel Du Coudray is a man of high social status and takes great pride in his appearances. His blonde hair was always kept down but neat and his complexion never aged due to him being a vampire. His silver eyes were a rare color for some to see but they appeared to be his best feature. While he had brains over brawn he was still strong. He had even spent time among monks to hone his vampiric desires for blood so as to not give in to the monster he had become. While he needed blood on a regular basis he usually took to blood tablets. His mood and personality varied in certain company.[Still working on desc]

• Biography

  Born in 1792 to the wealthy Lord Ancil Du Coudray and his wife, the young noble boy grew to exceed his parent's expectations of him. They had an estate on the countryside of Bordeaux in France with a lovely vineyard growing on it in which slaves had tended to.
  
  The Coudrays' earned their wealth in wine making, as did most others in Bordeaux, as well as in trades of goods over seas and being collectors and sellers of fine art. Young Gabriel was given the best tutoring and education money could buy. When he graduated from an all boys college he had found his life at its peak.
  
  He was to to be betrothed to woman of high standards whom he had come to love and know, but a turn events changed his life. On the evening of his 25th birthday he had been in the company of woman who was congratulating him on his success. The woman was no other than the vampire Anastasie Lemercier, who preyed upon the young Gabriel with her charm and led him astray from his beloved. The night has since been fogged in his memory but he had awoken to find bite marks on his neck and his body scorched from the ray of sun entering the bed chamber. He had been turned into a creature of the night himself and sought guidance from the woman he despised but came to love as a mentor till he grew much stronger than she and turned the tables. Gabriel's known family who have thought him murdered had not survived the years that came and went and neither had his betrothed and a new era came upon him. Over two centuries have passed since he came into the world, including his time as a vampire.
  
  He reclaimed his title of Lord in 1863 and has since held the title. Like his father before him, he is a collector of arts as well as artifacts and will trade and sell them for the right price. He resides in his country chateau overlooking vineyards (location not specific but is European based) and is seldom seen out during the day without a servant or two in tow holding an umbrella over his head.
  
  He is a patron of the arts and supports museums and universities. Gabriel has one of his private libraries and collections open for public viewing much like an exhibit that is over seen by one his most trusted associates during day hours. He enjoys hosting lavish parties to be held in his home especially during summer hours when he his garden is in bloom and he hosts evening parties for aristocrats alike to come and attend.
