Resources - My vessel was always the intellectual one during college and university,
but "nice guys finish last"
- a point of view I can respect. Jonny Vaughr started with simple 'over appraisals' and cheating people out of their heirlooms.
When I came along, his 'endeavours' seemed small, so I set our sights on relics of the past, using my knowledge to our advantage.
Now I enjoy a lavish lifestyle by mortal standards.

Paragon - I still recall fragments from when our house came together to form the Shadowlands.
The creator decreed that mortal souls would be doomed to oblivion and it was us who would send them there.
A fate we could not tolerate.
It took much preparation, but our craft was unparalleled and we formed a bubble from the fabric of creation itself - A refuge for the mortals we had suffered exile for.

Dreams of the Past - I can't even remember if we used to dream in the Abyss. Perhaps it is a new thing since binding myself to his mortal flesh, but my nights are filled with imagery that fills me with dread. I see a desolate landscape, with pillars of black rock. In the blood red sky, where the sun should be, a large black swirling mass and then I hear the screaming and moaning. There is something in that black mass that knows me and hungers...

Hunted - Even before I took possession of this vessel, Jonny Vaughr had made a fair share of enemies with his, 'less than ethical' ways.
At first, it was people he had scammed or lied to. Since taking over new interested parties have me in their sights.
Hunters and even the occasional vampire have sought me out, for my expertise. They don't always take "No" for an answer.
They assume I am just knowledgable about the past, not realising I lived much of that ancient history. If they ever knew the truth...
