BACKSTORY: (Originally born in 1897 to a deeply religious English family, Cyril Stanford was raised with strict Catholic values. His mother died in childbirth, leading his father - a stern Anglican priest - to blame him for her death. Growing up under his father's cold, often cruel righteousness, young Cyril learned early that religion could be both a shelter and a weapon.

When WWI broke out, Cyril enlisted at 21, partly to escape his father's oppressive shadow. He excelled as a soldier but during a particularly brutal battle in 1918, his unit was decimated. Cyril was left dying in a blood-soaked field, bitter that the God he'd been taught to fear had abandoned him.

That's when Valerian and Serena found him.

Valerian, the Original Vampire, and his turned-vampire wife Serena were traveling through war-torn Europe. Something about Cyril's defiant rage even in his dying moments caught their attention. They offered him a choice: die there with his faith, or embrace immortality as their chosen heir. Cyril, with his last human breath, chose damnation. After that Valerian turned Cyril into a vampire.

As a vampire, Cyril thrived under their tutelage. Valerian taught him to hunt, to embrace his predatory nature, while Serena showed him how to move in human society. But unlike his vampire parents who found redemption in their love, Cyril's bitterness toward religion festered over the decades. He took particular pleasure in corrupting the faithful, seeing it as revenge against his father's cruel righteousness.

The years twisted him into something darkly magnificent - a creature who understood both the sacred and profane intimately. He's spent decades perfecting the art of corruption.)
