Character Factoids

• Blackberries were always his favorite (GP)
• When he lets his hair dry naturally, it has a lot of curl to it. (tKD, DM)
• He has quite a reaction to his first kiss with Anita. Was it just his hunger or was he drawn to her even then?
• He first marked Anita to save, first her life, then his own. Both marks were given without her permission and Anita is very vocal in her dislike of that. (GP through CotD)
• He does not like to be referred to/called 'master'. (tLaC, tKD)
• In GP he promises to protect Anita.
• He was born on a dirt floor in France and became the whipping boy for an aristocrat's son. He has a series of whip-mark scars on his back still. (BB)
• He was a libertine before he was turned. (?ID?)
• Lissette was his maker, the one that turned him, and he was brought over for lust; his first true master was Julian, a cruel master who enjoyed tormenting him. He came into Belle Morte's care after being dead for five years. (ID)
• While in Belle Morte's care, he became close to and fell in love with Asher. Asher took a human servant, a young woman named Julianna, who he then helped form a menage a trois with (first mentioned in BO, page 62)

• His pet name for Anita has always been "ma petite" and although it annoys her, she has come to love it, thus when he calls her "Anita", she knows she is in trouble.
• He is an incubus; he feeds on lust. He is a carrier of the ardeur, a hunger that is as compelling and relentless as the need to drink blood. It is a rare power of Belle Morte's line, and he appears to have passed it on to Anita. (NiC)
• His nickname for Asher is "mon chardonneret", meaning "my goldfinch" (BM) Anita calls him this from her shared memories.
• He has the ability to feed off of sexual energy, thanks to Belle Morte. This is said to be his main reason behind opening Guilty Pleasures, so that he can feed the lust of the ardeur* without actually touching the customers ( he feeds off of the energy they create) (NiC)
• After becoming the Master of the City, he vowed to create no more vampires; he doesn't believe that he should be able to chose who lives and who dies (ID)
