1837, Queen Victoria just ascended onto the throne, a time of change, revolution and prosperity within Britain came about and the following year Charles Dickens works became recognised. The young- and then mortal Haru, was a Doctor in training though his family owned a bookstore, seeing the impacts of the war he had wanted to become more useful. Afterall he had a younger brother who would still be able to take over the store after his mother's passing. His father, long gone - perishing with scarlet fever.. another motivation for his change in career. But, with the still under developed nation - being constantly surrounded by the ill left him sick with the fever too, he hid it for a while, fear of putting his mother and brother into poverty. Had it not been for Nicolas Moore, his senior, prehaphs he would have died long ago. Afterall, Haru was a mixed man, his mother an Asian woman who his father had met on his travels abroad under the durstiction of the now deceased Queen- empress of many. If his father could have declined the inlisting, then he very well would of. England was still a country of people who where afraid of the different.
Nicolas Moore, was the one to help hide Haru's mixed ethnicity; being strangly more progressive then his peers and luckily, Haru had more of his father's genes then his mothers anyway. Though superstitions where still high, many at this point declared them as stupidity. As Haru was dying alone, in a dark and rotten room it was Nicolas who 'saved' him - turning him. He couldn't understand why he had chosen him out of all the others. For a while, Haru was angered, believing his soul had been stolen from him and he couldn't control this overwhelming desire for human blood, it was truly almost even painful for him.The turning hadn't gone as planned, It took a while before Haru regained his composition the newborn urges dying out of him after about a year. But by then he had killed over 30, even though Nicolas had tried to help him by brining him animal blood almost each day -bears, mountain lions - it couldn't satisfy haru like human blood did.
