Name: | Godric |
---|
Godric was born some time in the first century B.C. His country of origin is unknown; however, his native language is technically an ancient Germanic form of Anglo-Saxon that has fallen from normal dialect in Europe. It should be mentioned that Eric and Godric speak Swedish to each other (language of Sweden). Fader, broder, son translates to father, brother, son.
As a young child in Gaul, Godric was captured by the Roman army during one of Julius Caesar's invasions of that country, and taken back to Rome, where he was sold into slavery. His new Roman master was cruel and sadistic, physically abusing Godric as he grew into a teenager.
When Godric reached the age of 15, a Roman master revealed himself to be a vampire, and turned him. Godric stayed with his maker for an unknown number of years, until he had learned all he could from him about being a vampire , and had mastered his new abilities. He then murdered his Maker, seeking revenge for the abuses he had suffered at his hands during his human life. This is an extremely rare occurrence in vampire history, as progeny are usually extremely loyal to their Makers, bound to obey their commands, and are always physically weaker than they. Thus, exactly how Godric was able to murder his Maker is not known. The act got him into serious trouble with the ancient vampire community, so he fled into the wilderness to escape their justice, living feral and alone for centuries.
Ever since he had been captured by the Roman army as a child, Godric had been fascinated with armies, and as a vampire, often followed them on campaign, watching or even taking part in night time battles or raids for fun, and feeding on and killing the wounded. Some time in the early 10th century A.D., Godric was in Britannia, and saw the Viking Eric Northman taking part in a night time coastal raid. Extremely impressed with Eric's skill on the battlefield, Godric followed and caught up with him the following night, killing his two surviving comrades, and offering the fatally wounded Viking immortality as a vampire, turning him.
During World War II, Godric and Eric posed as Nazi Schutzstaffel agents in order to infiltrate "Operation Werewolf". In 1945 they tracked a werewolf down to a house in Augsburg, Germany. The werewolf attacked and killed an American soldier before turning on Eric, but Godric stabbed her in the arm with a bayonet, pinning her to the wall.
Eric demanded to know who her master was, but the werewolf said she'd only tell them if he let her drink some of his blood. Godric was deeply offended by the idea, as vampire blood is sacred. Eric, however, didn't care. He bit himself and allowed the werewolf to feed from his wrist. She then revealed that her master was a vampire. Eric was shocked. The werewolf took advantage of his distraction by pushing Eric to the ground and attempting to stake him. Godric intervened and snapped the werewolf's neck.
Godric lectured his progeny about maintaining control of his emotions, before promising to hunt the blasphemous vampire down. Shortly after this confrontation, Eric and Godric parted ways. They would not meet again for many decades.
At some point after the events of World War II, Godric was offered the position of vampire king of Texas, but he declined, instead establishing a nest in Dallas, becoming sheriff of Area 9. Over the years many vampires joined his nest, among them, Stan Davis and Isabel, who became his most trusted underlings. Eventually they offered again and he accepted
Godric possessed the common powers and weaknesses of a vampire. Due to his extreme age, he was one of the most powerful vampires in the world. He also needed very little blood to exist, but was very vulnerable to sunlight.
