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.
