Daren

Daren Croÿs
Raised by his mother,  Madam Cristina Croÿs in Iceland were she taught then about the history of their family, the white council disagreement  and how to control his powers, aided by his eidetic memory. He speaks French, Icelandic, Japanese, English and Spanish, he also speaks passable, German, Russian and Italian. he has taken to his family way of live satying in the shadows and watching their investments grow; currently holding shares in hundreds of companies worldwide. This stretches from Mercedes Benz to light filaments and metal screws to rice production. Daren specialises in the element of Hydromancy while is brother Marcus prefers spirit magic. The first time he used his powers it was after his brother has levatated him over his head at which point their mother decided to have a little talk with Marcus. Daren decided to go play in the snow untill his mother was finsihed, so as all children do in the snow he decided to build a iglu. However when the roof fell in ontop of Daren he tried to copy his brother and puch it away. Instead he felt the connection to the ice and commanded it to flow away from him. His mother found him a few house later in what can only be described as a snow pyramid, it was not their best mothers day . At age 18 Marcus left the family business mostly up to his brother topursue his passion in music. This suited Daren perfectly as it gave him the freedom to continue his medical research on extending the human life through a combonation of science and magic. About five years later Daren has made some headway but is still unwilling to cross the line of necromancy to find the final thread that has eluded hi thus far, constantly reminded of the fate his sister met. Soon after he was informed of the death of his father his resolve to continue his work has brought him dangeriously close to the line, only the intervention of Lucile a changling who worked him and eventually became the love of his life. He now lives with her on Gardiner's Island, so as to be closer to Marcus, and where they continue their research and plan for the future.  He is very protective of his friends and family however fears the fate of his sister. He remains bitter toward the white council and would happily have it sink to the bottom of the sea were the opportunity to present itself. He loves collecting items of historical relevance from the supernatural side of history and weaponry for which he has had training in fencing and firearms, and unlike his brother who prefers to argue a point then get to one, has had himself trained in 12 martial arts 8 of which he ranks 3rd in the world.
