Deveaux (Pronounced: De-Voe) is a vampire and is a disciplined individual with some form of self control, even as a vampire. He is also a friend of Nelson, Samson and Reece. He was later killed by Kate Holloway.
Biograhphy[]
Deveaux was born in Cleveland, Tennessee on October 12, 1897, the only child to a French/American mother and an American patriotic farther, he was named after his maternal grandfarther. During his early years, he was taught how to fight by his farther and learned how to intimidate his enemies and stay ahead of them in a fight.
During 1914, he decided to enlist in the US army to fight in World War 1. There, in the training camps, he met his friends and future coven mates: Nelson, Reece and Samson. As a team, they created their own small division in the army
Deveaux and his friends were sent into Germany to fight the war in 1916, though the were successful with defeating their enemies and staying alive, they caught the attention of a German vampire; Amsel. Amsel wasn't happy that anyone was on his so called property, and determined to kill them straight away, but he was very impressed by their prowess and team work, and wondered what they would be like as vampires. Amsel abducted all four of them and took him to a nearby bunker, there he turned all four of them into vampires, and left them after their transformations, he only visited them often to deliver humans for them to feed off.
Deveaux experienced a more difficult year than. Around 1927, Amsel returned to them and offered them a place with his friends, everyone but Deveaux was intrigued, but he was too angry at Amsel andgave him the excuse to kill the vampire.
After their first vampire year mark had passed, the group promised they would meet back in Hamburg after a few years, and they all travelled on their own for the time being.
Physical Appearance[]
Deveaux is described as being tall and muscular with an imposing frame. He was left with many scars on his body and neck from fights with his coven mates in 1917, on his powers behalf. He is at least 6'6" in height, has dark auburn coloured hair that to others, doesn't match together with his pale complexion. He has a set of blue eyes. The western accent he had as a human years ago has all but disappeared, replaced by a visible german accent.
Personality[]
On one side, Deveaux is a strict and disciplined vampire, because of his martial training as a human. Deveaux has become a cautious vampire among his friends. He does keep his distance from them, and is mildly anxious of them when they're too close by.
Nelson calls his appearance ironic, being that he is the most frightening but least violent member of the group. It is this quality that makes him mesmerizing to watch, by both his allies and his enemies
