:: AGE :: 354
:: GENDER :: Male
:: RACE :: Vampire (Turned)
:: FAMILY ::
-Wife: Siera Daniels: Vampire, 104 yrs old
-Son: Justin Daniels: Vampire (Born), 17 yrs old
:: OCCUPATION/GRADE :: Leader of the Daniel's sectorof the Welshmire Clan. As such is one of the group of four family leaders who work for/alongside Artur Welshmire in running the cooperation.
:: PERSONALITY :: Jerome is a man who has lived for a very long time in the service of Artur Welshmire and as such had an incredibly hard exterior. His life is in duty to the Welshmire Clan and his every action reflects this, making him often seen cold and closed off. Even to his family Jerome rarely acts overly affectionate, despite his care for them. When he does let some  'weak' emotion through his exterior it tends to be in private and would rarely be witnessed by any other than Siera and occasionally Justin.
:: HISTORY ::
Jerome was born in 1660 in England to a bourgeois family. He was never really required to do much when growing up as a human and if asked about that time now says he doesn't really remember it. Despite this even then Jerome was a man of honour and where others in his position would whore and drink he simply lived and studied.  One night in 1702 after a late session in the library Jerome encountered a man more exotic and lovely than any he had ever seen. The man told him that he had been watching Jerome for some time and that he was going to begin a new life from then on. Artur Welshmire did not offer Jerome vampirism he simply said these words and pounced, carrying away his unconscious victim afterwards. Artur was the kind of man who demanded allegiance and respect and even from those early days Jerome gave it soon becoming invaluable to his maker. Throughout the years Jerome became the patriarch of one of the four families that are in service to the Welshmires and this group together became the forefront of vampires in the world.

In modern times Jerome governs the Daniels family with an iron fist, being a shrewd business man acting ever int he service of the Welshmires. Being blessed with a child was to him a miracle and as such he wants his son Justin to become everything he is capable of and more. He will work tirelessly to ensure that the Welshmires get what they want and as such forces Justin to adhere to this rule to. He was deeply honoured by Artur's suggestion that Carrie Welshmire and Justin marry and in his mind the sooner the better. Though not vocalised he hopes to successfully have more children in the future and continue as always to uphold the Daniels and Welshmire name.

:: REASON :: Jerome is the leader of the local contingent of the global Welshmire Clan which makes him incredibly important. He has already been involved with dealings with the Blake clan and as such is important to the vampire politics in town.
:: ADOPTABLE :: Yes: Jerome is definitely up for adoption as it would be preferable for the leader of one of the local vampire clans to be controlled by someone and not through his son.
