Allen Johannes

Background
Allen came to America in the early 1920s after migrating from Sweden. He hoped to be able to capture what most people called, “The American Dream”. He hoped to find purpose in a new land. He had hoped that he would be able to build his life and move forward. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case as the Great Depression took away any form of wealth that Allen had thought he had. The little wealth that he did have, taken by the very country that had fueled his dreams. He fought back, sought to find answers in a government and time that had none. His anger raised brows and it quickly assembled groups of men all over the state that shared his ideals. His movement against the government slowly growing with each day. At the height of his power, in 1935, in this political struggling time, he was Embraced. His life and priorities changed after he was turned. He started to see that caring for human politics was pointless and that the humans government only worked to oppress its own people, and with his Embracement Allen no longer had say over anything human. His loyalties to his friends from his past was tested but ultimately Allen chose to align with those who he knew survival was possible. Allen worked under his Sire until the time came where he could rise above him and start to once again regain the power he once had as a human. And he succeeded. Quickly, Allen moved up the ranks among the kindred, catching the notice of higher powers. He knew that his strength alone would become his greatest asset. That all changed when he met Anton. Anton knew that Allen was simply more than just brute force. The vampire saw in Allen a talent that could help him keep his people in their proper places and so Anton brought Allen over onto his side. Allen may be considered a young vampire compared to others who are longer lived and hold no seat of power, but it’s his mind that caught the attention of the Prince. He thinks in a chessboard mentality, his actions and choices working like chess pieces. His goal simply to move forward on the board until he finally can obtain a checkmate.

Personality
Allen is cold, calculating, firm and ruthless. He has to be to be able to stand as the Sheriff to the Prince of Washington. He carries out the orders of justice that are set by his Prince. He doesn’t care if the ruling if fair or unjust, he simply does what he was hired to do. When it comes to other Lorekind, Allen keeps himself away from their affairs. He only sticks around the Brujahs, his cold front putting off other people. When people see Allen, they don’t ever expect to come away with a new friend and easy conversation. If he ever shows up and you are alone, don’t expect to survive.
