History
Christoph Etan was born in Austria in July 28th, 1925. His family
wasn´t wealthy but they weren´t dirt poor either, managing to scrap by with his
mother´s wages from cleaning houses and his father´s wages working in a deli.
When Christoph was old enough to work he helped his father out at the deli. His
marks in school were satisfactory,his favorite subject was learning about the
human body and the mechanics of life in other beings. Christoph got the highest
marks than anyone when it came to the mechanics of life, diseases, injuries and
the ways to treat them. And even before he was even close to graduating he was
taking advanced high level courses in medicine.
Christoph had a dream of being a doctor, to use his talent to help those in
need. Find cures for diseases that hadn´t found cures for. He dreamed the same
dream others dreamed. His was simply to help people.
Even when Christoph was a child hed find hurt and injured animals, bringing
them home and tending them..helping to set a birds broken wing, bottle feeding
a stray abadoned kitten. Most times the house had all manner of animalsover run
with wild life. It was a wonder his mother didnt go crazy with Christophs
adopting all those pets.
On religion Christoph´s family weren´t really overly religious, sometimes his
mother would go to the Catholic church, but mostly the family believed you
didnt have to go to church to be a good family, didnt God not make the whole
earth? You could simply go outside and worship to touch god..you didnt have to
exclusively go to Gods home..his home was everywhere. Christoph didnt really
know what to think of Godan unknown entity that was supposed to be watching
from abovewhat use was praying to someone you couldnt seecouldnt touchand
how did you know that He REALLY existed. Just because the Priests told you He
existed didnt mean that it was truethe Priests could just as easily say that
they were the Maker and people would believe them. Christoph was religious, no
doubt of that, but his whole heart just wasnt fully in ithe didnt knowhad so
many questions. Perhaps hed find the truth in an epiphany or when he died. He
knew there had to be a reason he was on the Earthlife couldnt just exist for
no reason, there had to be some purpose, divine or else.
Christoph was almost finnished with school, and would have gone on to college
when the second World Wars claws dug into the worldbanners with the Swastika
were hanging everywhereGerman soldiers paraded through the streets singing of
Hitlers virtues and yelling Heil Hitler. Christophs family werent Jewish so
they wouldnt have even been bothered by the nazis except that a long time
friend of the family was a jew. Christophs family hid the jew and were caught.
The nazis bursting into the house one night and taking them all prisoner. What
followed Christoph wouldnt have ever imagined.
Taken to Aushwitz him and his parents were sepperated, Christoph sent to
Berkenau, his mother to Dachau and his father to Aushwitz. While in the camp
Christoph used his medical abilities to try and help the other more unfortunate
inmates. Totally neglecting himself to help others, sometimes staying up to the
point of exhaustion to tend to someone. This total disregard for himself in
favor of helping those less fortunate was what attracted his future sire Dorian
Kayin who was at the camp to tend to the inmatesthe German didnt want their
workers to die so sooninjured or sick people couldnt work, so Dorian was the
doctor of the facility, helping where he could. Dorian was quite impressed with
Christophs abilitieshis calm soothing bedside manner and his cheerfull
optimistic attitude, he kept peoples hopes up that everything would turn out
all right.
Dorian watched Christoph closely..studying him, testing his compassion, honor,
strength of character and other such things to deem him worthy of the Embrace.
Finding him worthy Dorian aproached Christoph one night on the matter, Christoph
accepted..the next evening Dorian Embracing Christoph as a 9th generation
Salubri..the healers clan. Christoph and Dorian stayed at the camp throughout
the duration of the war, Christoph furthering his healing knowledge with the
discilipline Obeah. Dorian teaching the boy everything he knew to prepare him
for the time when he would no longer be around.
The war endedmany deaths but some survived and that warmed Christophs heart
that not all of his efforts were in vain, he mourned the dead and hoped that
they had found the peace in death that they never had in life. Christoph studied
rigorously under his sires guiding hand, then that dreaded night came to bethe
night in which Dorian made Christoph diablerize himas all Salubri were required
to do. Christoph performed the act, draining his sire completely, consuming his
soul and thereby lowering his generation. Weeping throughout the whole
thing...he didn't want to do itloathed doing it but he knew his sire expected
and wished it and so he complied. To this day it haunts him. Horrid nightmares
of that night, reliving it each night as his eyes close those heartbreaking
scenes playing out in his minds eye.
The years after his sires death were filled with
traveling..gathering information and of course helping the sick and wounded, and
working on his skills of medicine.
