Alex Cartwright
Age: 286 (Born 1731)
Based on the World of Darkness Vampires the Masquerade publication and Being Human (US Television Series).
Powers & Abilities:
Domination: Contains a series of abilities related to manipulating the actions of others. Domination is one of Alex's key disciplines and his skill with it is so complete he could, if he wished, compel whole groups of people to willingly kill themselves.
Presence: A parallel to Domination, Presence is manipulation of Emotion.
Obtenebration: "The Old Magic" as it were. Commanding shadows to create physical weapons or objects.
Spirit of Razgriz: Inherited by entirely draining the Vitae of the Ancient Dragon Razgriz, consuming its entire essence and soul in the process.
This has granted him a major resistance to the effects of sunlight. While he can be exposed to the sun without bursting into flames he cannot self-heal and the potency of his vampiric powers is impacted.
He can, at will, transform into (a much smaller version of) the nightmare beast for a limited time, but unguarded minds that witness this Hell Dragon are shattered forever.
Use: Alex's manipulation and mastery over delirium has left him with a comedically detached sense of reality that he can pass to others like a communicable disease. This often comes in the form of high-energy antics that can warp or rob a person of their sense of normalcy. Depending on the potency and length of exposure can often rend a mind completely from the shelf of sanity. While everything Alex does is typically within the realm of natural physics, a mixture of mind control, slight of hand and prestidigitation can make Alex seem capable of wielding pure cartoon logic as a weapon.
Alex Cartwright was born in the British Province of New York 1731. His parents were killed during a slave riot when he was 11 that left dozens dead and several homes burnt to the ground.
With no child services back then, Alex became a street urchin and thief before he was picked up by a Lenape tribe and learned several skills that earned him the nickname Kinanike or he who has sharp teeth.
In the 1770's, General George Washington made a push on New York and was driven back to Manhattan. When the British Royal Army moved to take Manhattan from him, Alex was part of the regiment that attacked and was crucial in cutting off Washington's escape to Delaware, forcing him further West. He was gunned down in the Hudson River near where the North Manhattan Bridge now stands.
A soldier by the name of Diedrich Farnsworth pulled his body from the river and turned him into what he is now.
Today, Alex is a New York City Police Detective and partnered with the Vampire Bishop of Manhattan, Detective Gordon Wyatt. Together they keep the vampire community in line and out of the public eye, maintaining the veil of secrecy that's remained in tact for centuries.
Personality:
Alex is, for the lack of a better term, insane. While he is an incredibly powerful Vampire and older than most in charge, he doesn't take a role of leadership seriously and has no interest in being in charge. Among his powers to disappear and duplicate himself, he is also a master of Domination and can even coerce a target into committing suicide with but a word. His insanity, though, stems from his bloodline and he usually hides it well; acting more as an immature man-child than a stark-raving mad lunatic. A lot of his dialogue is often rife with pop culture and is always quick with making light of even the most severe of situations. Despite his disability he is mostly respected by his peers and is often viewed as an amusing respite to an otherwise dim world. However, it's often difficult to tell when a line is crossed and his demeanor rarely changes between moods.

Name: Malfeas
Age: ???
Powers & Abilities:
Malfeas is an intelligent demonic spirit inhabiting the form of a Hellhound. He comes equipped with unique demonic anatomy, Obtenebration and Shadow-Stepping (Teleportation). He can breath fire, because, of course he can and his claws can tear through the veil and unleash Hell on Earth at a whim. Lastly, he has a capability similar to Ghost Rider's Penance Stare that allows him to reap the soul of a creature he has killed and banish it to Hell.
Malfeas is the bound guardian of the Cartwright Manor and one of the former gatekeepers to the entrance of Hell. He was created by the Wyrm as an answer to Gaia's Garou Werewolves, but was rendered redundant by the opportunistic domination and enslavement of the White Howlers, a Garou Tribe corrupted by the Wyrm's influence during their fateful push into the Deep Umbra.
The Garou haven't been the only ones to directly confront the madness of the Deep Umbra. On a whim, Alex found himself navigating the dimension and was uniquely equipped to handle its mind-destroying proclivities. This marks the only time a Vampire has ever been to the Deep Umbra and also the first time anyone has ever taken anything out of it.
Basically, Alex kidnapped Malfeas from Hell and made him his own personal servant.
