Nathan doesn’t talk much about his life before Japan. He fought in the Civil War, was a decorated officer, that saw too many of his men killed. After the war, he drank to stop the memories and barely held onto his rank and pension.
He was sent to Japan to help train the soldiers into an Imperial Army. Except they were kids and not even close to being ready to face battle. When they sent them anyway he rode in afterwards trying to save those he could.
He ended up taken by Takamori, the Shogun warrior holding back the Emperors advances. He hated the man instantly, yet felt a pull to him that made him want to do anything he asked. Takamori detoxed him, trained him, and then sent him to battle.
Nathan watched in horror as they were slaughted now under true military soldiers. He carried Takamori’s sword to the young emperor and told his story. All of it. Including what war does to a man. Showed him the honor of Takamori’s heritage.
He returned to the village only to discover Takamori was actually Katsumoto, a Vampire and his Mate.
He was Turned and Claimed that night.

Favorite Birthday Food/Dinner? That special meal that you like to get to celebrate?
There’s a few different things I like, my chicken pot pie, going out to a nice place, and sometimes just take out sitting in the car watching a random tv show!
Here is another favorite story! I love Jensen in this story. Check out all of taibhrigh’s stories & of course their artwork!
Let’s celebrate all the artists! Sending encouragement to everyone that is an artist!
And sending a big Thank You to those artists who have done some awesome stuff for Sylum!
Seriously – thank you to taibhrigh for all the banners and artwork.
I showcased some of my favorite characters to write via Monday’s Sylum Inspiration. But they weren’t my only favorite characters to write.
So here’s a list of the rest!
Paul Mallory snuck his way into being a favorite.
He has a different perspective on the world as a Double-0 plus who he ended up Mated to.
Plus he comes with a Dragon!
Aguilar and his twin brother Callum were born October 21st in the year of our lord 1460 AD and was in Masyaf.
They’re parents were Assassins, the little they knew of them, was that their father, Sebastiano was from Spain and their mother, Brigit, who was from Ireland. Their father was trained at Masyaf, who on a mission, fell in love with Brigit, brought her back and trained her. The two had been killed during the Spanish Inquisition, a year after the boys had been born. They ended up raised by the Assassin Order, and trained to follow in their parents footsteps.
When they set out on their own missions, Aguilar went to Spain, while Callum went to Ireland.
Aguilar took over the missions their parents had been killed. Hunting down Templars that were using the Spanish Inquisition for their own goals.
He ended up meeting Maria, saving her from a local ‘Inquisitor’. She had made it clear that she wouldn’t bow to the the false church, and become their whore. Aguilar fell for her instantly, the two ended up married six months later – solidify his cover as a Silk Merchant.
She knew about his Assassin work, and patched him up when he would return home. Over the years she bore him three daughters – but refused to let him train any of them.
While working on a mission with Maximus, Aguilar was mortally wounded. There was no doubt in his mind, he would be Turned.
I don’t even want to think how close December is.
But it’s closer than you think. It’s like you blink and it gets closer.
How is everyone doing?
Horoscopes. Do you follow them? Find them interesting? Not sure what your star sign is!?
I’m a Scorpio – it fits 🙂
Again choosing 1 out of the Aesthetics was tough! But this one I really like the details on this particular one.
But should check out all their Aesthetics!
Here’s a list of new characters that are invading storyline.
This is Matthew Thompson, who was just to be a simple Chippy *hahahaha* who now owns 4th Division that is a million dollar international construction company. Which came in handy when dealing with storyline that needed things built, and trying to locate ‘random chosen ones’. He knows where bodies are buried, ended up hoarding secrets, and really he’s just a simple chippy.
You have been introduced to him a couple of times so he’s already snuck into storyline.
His story will come out at a later date as it ties to a whole larger arc type of stories. And seriously at this moment we are working on trying to get Family finished.
The rest of the new guys weaseling in are a mix bunch – some you’ve met,while others raided and demanding their story now.
Question: Well this is going to be an interesting one. There is no question!!?? Instead send me top 5 favorite characters and I’ll pick a few of them for snippets. As I’m down to 5 need to get way behind again! 😀
