Description:

Raphael is a handsome guy in his mid-twenties. He wears his blond hair short and his blue eyes radiate somekind of innocence. His body is trained but not too muscular. He smiles and laughs rarely, but seems to have yet humor. His clothing style is in accordance with the situation, but almost always in natural tones. In the vicinity of large group of plants like parks or Gardens, he "blooms" on downright and loses its melancholy from which he sometimes seems grabbed. In new places he looks as he searches for details, he can remember.

History:

Captive, slave, drudge, vassal, servant, slave, these were names of Raphael in the most years of his life. He had many masters, but most of them he can not remember. For many he was nothing more as a tool. At best he was a pet. There were also one or the other owners of Raphael treated well, but where he could seldom stay long by them. He was sold, given away or stolen many times. That he hasn't lost his mind is a miracle. His childhood is unknown to himself. The only thing he remembers is a melody but he does not know what it means to him, however.

But five years ago, things changed. His former master was send to final death by a group of hunters. He was lucky that he was away delivering a message to another vampire at the time of the attack. He returned to find the Haven to be fiery inferno. Without a goal, he wandered off. It did not take long to become snapped again. This time it was a Gangrel, Daniel Warren. He did not care who his lord was. He never possessed the power to terminate its existence because something in him grabbed for his life. He resigned himself to fate again. This time it was different. The Vampire was nice to him. He cared almost lovingly at him. Raphael learned much of what he lacked in life. Reading, writing, arithmetic, he learned all the basic knowledge which was denied him not to get any stupid ideas. The only return Daniel demanded was that Raphael cares for his garden when he is not there. This he did with pleasure. It was reassuring to him, and that was obvious to him. His physical wounds he suffered in the years quickly disappeared and also the psychic wounds were closed slowly. Daniel was a member of a small branch of the Circle of the Crone. It had a good reason that he took care of Raphael. He sought a successor. He was tired of the years and wanted to go into a deep sleep. But he had to take care only that he has someone who cares about his legacy. Raphael was given the power of decision. If he wants again have a change of his master, or whether he wants to be his own master. This decision was not much hard and he was embraced from Daniel to the night. The next years they prepared both the rest of Daniel. Although Daniel was a Gangrel, the Beast in him was asleep for the most of the time. Raphael, however, often had to fight against his Beast.

He was a member of the Circle and was slow introduced in his new "life".

When the time of Daniel came, he demanded of Raphael, to guard his legacy. This he didn’t understand quite at the beginning. Daniel was buried in a coffin in his own little garden and the earth was filled, the plants grow stronger than ever before. No one could enter the garden again. It was as if the vines self conjugated to Vitae. Raphael was the first time on his own, the first time as a free person.

He found the records Daniel left to him and read a certain memo just for him. Not the garden is the legacy but the blood that they are both share. He should protect and strengthen this. Raphael said goodbye to his co-members of the Circle and went to live out his freedom. With the knowledge that he might carry the seeds of a new bloodline in his blood, he headed to a new city.
