About Me About Me NotesAbout Me
We're all hiding something, aren't we? From the moment we wake, look in that mirror; all we do is spin our little lies. Suck in that gut, color that hair; twist off that wedding ring.
And why not? What's the penalty? What are the consequences, really? "I'm only human," you say, and all is forgiven.
But what if some cruel twist of fate makes you something else- something other? Who forgives you then? Byron wrote about Prometheus. "The wretched gift eternity was thine and thou has borne it well" - Making death a victory.
Every human spends a night or two on the dark side and regrets it. But what if you only exist on the dark side? We just want the same things that you do: a chance at life, at love. We 're not so different in that way. And so we try and sometimes fail. But when you're something other-- A monster, the consequences are worse. Much worse.
You wake up from your nightmares. We don't.

Aidan & Bishop
Aidan lived the next 150 years in the Boston region, serving Bishop and the other leader vampires of the Family. Not much is known about his life during this time except that he acquired a reputation of ferocity and inhumanity committing numerous killings. He was the most feared vampire of the Boston area, and he mentions that he also fought in the American Civil War for the Union army, including the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, with about 23,000 casualties.
He was there when Bishop was announced the leader of the Boston family, and afterwards decided to set out on his own. He settled down in Montreal for a while but eventually moved back to Boston. On his return he decided to change his ways and started drinking blood bags instead of killing actual people. Aidan eventually found Josh being tormented by Marcus and Blue Collar, and took pity on him. They soon became good friends and Aidan helped Josh get a job as an orderly at Boston's Suffolk County Hospital, where Aidan had been working as a nurse.
"So, go ahead. Live forever. Forget what you've forgotten.
But they won't. They never do."
But they won't. They never do."
Unlike most of his kind, Aidan does not possess contempt for werewolves, as he took pity on Josh after finding Marcus and his friend ruffing Josh up in an alleyway. Since meeting Josh and Sally, Aidan has come to see them as his family, acting as the older brother of the trio. Aidan suffers from guilt and self-loathing, as a part of him knows that vampires are killers, and he must fight hard to suppress his innate killer. Constantly trying suppress his natural instincts makes additional stresses an unwelcome thing for Aidan. None-the-less, he is fairly level headed in most situations. Aidan is highly charismatic, especially when he wants to be. He uses this aspect of his personality to compensate for the fact he is almost incapable of telepathically compelling humans like other vampires can.
