Damien

Damien Norell ‖ 26 ‖ Returned ‖ FC: Daniel Sharman ‖ TAKEN

________________       AUTOPSY REPORT      ________________

CAUSE OF DEATH: Blunt force trauma to the parietal lobe.  

SCENE OF THE CRIME: The abandoned Norrell Mansion.

DATE OF DEATH: DECEMBER 14, 1998

From the moment of his birth, Damien was considered a tragic mistake. Having unwittingly taken the life of his mother because of child birthing complications, he was fated to be seen as a harbinger of death by his father and brother.

One may say that it’s best be raised around by your own flesh and blood instead of being given to strangers, but anyone that knew Damien personally would disagree. Although family friends and fellow classmates would often notice the bruises that covered the boy’s body, no one spoke up, believing it the Norrell’s business, and their business alone.

After years of being told he was useless and that he was at fault for his mother’s death, something in Damien snapped. The constant verbal and physical abuse from his father and brother had taken a toll on the young man’s mental health, causing him to completely detach himself from all pain in an effort to kill the family that should have protected him.

One night after finishing his bartending shift at Harry’s Pub, his father tried to attack him once again. For the first time in Damien’s life, he fought back, throwing the man who had tormented him onto the ground with such force that it cracked his skull. It would have been considered a victory if it weren’t for his brother sneaking up behind him, hitting him over the head with a fire poker.

DATE OF RETURN: SEPTEMBER 10, 2011

The abuse had planted a seed of hatred deep within the boy; once he returned, it grew to control him. Any hope for a normal life filled with happiness and love had been beaten out of him by his own flesh and blood.

With every passing day, Damien seems to inch farther away from his humanity, increasing the chance that he will never be happy again. He has come to enjoy inflicting pain on others, as well as possessing human bodies in order to carry out his dirty work and strike fear into certain Bentley residents. With each day, his ability to possess people grows stronger, and he finds that it’s becoming increasingly easier to take control of both body and mind at will.

The newest vessel he’s found has piqued a strange amount of interest within him. Though he isn’t sure why he’s so intrigued, Damien believes it to have something do to with the fact that this girl — Litha Petrova — “murdered” her own mother and has started down a path to darkness. Whatever his reasons, it’s very clear to himself that he’ll be keeping an eye on this particular vessel for safekeeping.
