Brandon Gardi

Background
If there was ever a person that the fates that decided to be most cruel to, they would tell you that Brandon Gardi was the poor soul on the receiving end of their harshness. Bran, himself, even believed that the fates has set him up for a fall; his last name even means “ghost.” And now, that’s all that Bran is, a ghost of a person that used to reside within him. But he never did anything to deserve the such fury from the fates. Bran was only a child, when his world began to crumble in around him. He had been a joyous child, he feared nothing because the world made it seem like nothing could touch him. His father had been a viking, and he had won many battles in Odin’s name and for that, the God had gave him immortality. Bran’s mother had been no less of a warrior than his father, she had been a radiant Valkyrie, whom Bran adored like no other. His parents were so strong and powerful, and he knew he would grow up to be just like them, with nothing to fear. But there were things to fear, things far worse than Bran could have imagined. His father had taken the heads of many Vampires, but he hadn’t expected retaliation. The Vampires crept into their village in the dead of night. All had been sleeping and the Vampires wasted no time in cutting their throats. By the time Bran awoke to screams, it was already too late. His father hid him in a closet just as the Vampires broke down the door. He watched his mother die first, and he choked on sobs. But Bran couldn’t help her, he was too weak, too young. They saved his father for last, letting him die slowly, and he could no long hold back his cries. They captured him and he tried to fight back, but there was nothing he could do. Bran was later given to a female Vampire, made a blood slave for her. The things he saw, the things that he was forced to do, killed part of Bran’s soul and he hasn’t been whole since, not even after his escape.

Personality
Despite the fact that life has been more than unkind to him, Bran’s not the type to take it out on the rest of the world. He’s got a good sense of humor and a good head of his shoulders, but there are also parts of him that are a little more unpleasant. Because of his time as a blood slave, Bran doesn’t like to be touched, by anyone, it sends him into a panic and sometimes he can react violently. Bran can be vengeful at times as well, but he is also loyal and protective of those he cares about.
