Name: Denis de Rouille
Age: 34
Race (Lineage Origin): Azzallese/D'angeline
Gender: male
Height: 6'2"
Home Province/Country: Azzalle/Terre d'Ange
Appearance: (1-2 Paragraphs) Denis is tall and well-built, seemingly made up of angular lines and planes. Even though his skin is pale, he seems darker because of his almost-black eyes and ebony hair. His features seem a tad Tsingani, causing some to question the purity of his bloodline - though not to his face.
History:
Denis was born to a middle-class family in Azzalle, the youngest son of three children. His father was a merchant of a high end shop, and his mother a former Eglantine Adept. Her talent was singing, and Denis can remember music as a huge part of his childhood. However, when he was seven, the music stopped. His mother became quite depressed, and nothing her three children could do seemed to comfort her. His father went often to the City on "business" and it seemed that the more depressed his mother became, the more his father went away. Denis was his mother's favorite, and they soon began to spend more and more time together, to the exclusion of the other children. His elder brother spent more time with their father, even going on trips with them, leaving his elder sister to her own devices most of the time.
When Denis was twelve, his parents had a huge fight which culminated in his father shoving his mother down a flight of stairs, killing her and landing himself in prison. Suddenly without parents, his elder brother, who had just barely gained his majority, was faced with raising his siblings. To his credit, he took on the job, and the family limped along for some time. However, Vincent was young, and not very watchful over his siblings. Denis began to fall in with the "wrong" crowd, and soon was taken under the wing of one Lukas Vialle, a notorious criminal, who also sold opium, which was quite the profitable trade. Denis started as a runner, taking messages and contraband for Lukas, and eventually rose in the man's esteem.
When Denis reached adulthood, he had become like a son to Lukas, who was old and in failing health. The man had amassed quite a bit of wealth, and a considerable network to continue his nefarious activities. He pushed Denis to marry his daughter, Rosalyn, who was several years Denis's senior, but who would inherit the man's wealth. Lukas finally passed, leaving his business to Denis, who by now was estranged from his siblings. Denis was not content to remain a big fish in a small pond, however, and packed off his wife and infant daughter, Rochelle, to the City of Elua, where his drug trade began to flourish, although he was not well-received by those who monopolized the trade.
Now thirty-four, Denis has amassed quite a bit of wealth, and many enemies, as well.
