[Jasper Hale]

Full Name (first and last named): Tomas Santiego

[If Vampire]Changed by (full name): Leon Avilla

Eye Color: Burgundy/Black

Height (in feet and inches please): 5'10''

Physical Description (include what they wear, how they look, and any special scar or birthmark that distinguishes them): He has a somewhat chubby but elongated face with bulky features and inset eyes. He has somewhat curly, short hair that is light brown in color. His body is bulky as well. He wears relatively simple clothes in autumn type colors.

Personality (include how they act, what they think of other people/vampires, how they think, how they react to different situations): He is outwardly caring and concerned, and comes off as being understanding and trying to see both sides of issue although he really is making his own judgments and determining the best way to handle the situation and still come out on top. He is very good in arguments, as he can lure his opposition into believing they are winning or that he is giving up when he is actually just wearing them down until they back pedal on their words. He acts this way with both humans and vampires, and is only particularly nasty to those who are able to withstand his judgments. In general, he feels he is better than most others when it comes to the general populous, but tends to treat those that he accepts all on the same level that is equal to him.

Occupation (include previous occupations, if any): Investigator in the Spanish Inquisition

Special Talents (this can be something from academics to soccer to role playing to lockpicking): He has the ability to hyperinflate one's senses, making them have hallucinations involving all the senses. It is basically like a very bad acid trip in which the victim cannot determine reality from the hallucinations. He is not able to determine the specific hallucinations a victim will have; it will relate to their present state of mind and the events happening. For example, during a battle, the hallucinations could cause the victim to smell the burning of other vampires, see more opposition than is really there, hear more screams than is present, etc. This power is mental and therefore Bella is immune.

Places Lived (no, you do not have to include the day and a half you spent at the hospital when you were first born): Born in Spain, and has traveled through most of the world but took an interest in South America and has spent much of his time there.

Family (include mother, father, brother[s], sister[s]): Father, Mother, Older brother.

Hobbies (what your character likes to do): He enjoys debating, as well as reading and keeps his own records and catalogues of events.

Cars (if any): Black Aston Martin Vantage

Past (descriptive please!):
He was born in Spain during the time of the Spanish Inquisition, and quickly became one of the investigators that turned in names during the time of Torquemada. He only occasionally witnessed the torture sessions that were used to get a confession out of suspects, as most suspects caved and gave a willing confession after just seeing the torture devices and/or hearing occasional prisoners be tortured, as well as listening to the officer's false accounts of what torture might bestow them. It was more mental than physical. Tomas was often present at the hearings, and learned to believe the confessions even when they were clearly false confessions given to escape torture.

Two years after he became involved with the Inquisition, he began to investigate a supposed heretic but never returned from the trip. The suspect turned out to be a vampire, who mauled him and thought he was left for dead. Instead, he survived through the transformation although it remains known how his screams went unheard or ignored. When he awoke, he feared what he had become and took off, running away from anyone he knew. He soon came across a human and his knew instincts took control, and he caused intense pain to the human in his attempt to get at the blood within his veins. After close to two years, these instincts finally settled some and he was able to control himself although it took several more years for him to be fully in control.

After gaining control, he left the Spain/Europe area and traveled to South America. He enjoyed the lifestyles there, and remained rather nomadic within the countries. In the 1900s, he became aware of another vampire within close range to him, and soon saw her disappear then suddenly reappear (Sarah). He didn’t immediately understand why she was able to do that, but soon managed to talk to her and liked her timid and background type personality. After a few months of travel, however, she chose to go on her own as she simply didn’t entirely like the company. He willingly obliged, and continued on his solitary lifestyle. After Sarah's departure, he searched for a mate for a short while before deciding he would eventually just stumble upon one and gave up on an active search.

Overall, he only killed humans out of need but would occasionally come across one that simply bothered him or would be feeling particularly vicious and would kill for fun and enjoyment. It was during one of these killings he came across the Storch brothers, and when they made contact again about overthrowing the Vulture, he contacted Sarah to join the ranks. His tendencies to kill for fun increased once he began spending more time with the other Calumny members, and he and Radu enjoy going on merciless sprees.
