The Official Part:
Craven was born in the last years of the 20th century as the son of a russian man and his american wife. The name his parents choose for him was James Andrej Umarov, but due to his huge number of phobias and his fear of the dark, half of his neighbourhood began to call him Craven. Craven carried that name through his years at school, which happened nearly without any special events. After school Craven decided to join the army, to control his phobias and became a helicopter pilot. This was where the things turned from usually boring to hell.
WW3 broke out and Craven was sent to europe, mostly germany and later scandinavia. He was dropping supplies for the troops in front and helped evacuating civilians from war zones. He was quite good and became lieutenant very soon. From all this paine and slaughter he saw during the years of war, he decided to lead an rescue operation without the confirmation of his colonel. The operation went well, in the beginning, but then his machine was taken down and crashed into a church, which caused the dead of many civilians as well as the dead of many soldiers. Craven survived but the pictures that burned into his head made him nearly insane. He was judged by a military court and sentenced to death.
After 1 year in prison, awaiting his execution, a scientist offered him to take part into a secret program of genetically engineering. He agreed.
The program was called "Ressurection", Craven's DNA was "enhanced" with a number of various functions, his senses are sharper, his strength is better and he can cure even the worst injuries without medical help.
As the program was stopped, the regime wanted to get rid of it's results, so most of the documents were burned, the scientists and soldiers killed.
Craven survived...
Los Angeles was the next station of his life, no official recording could say what he did there, but he spent a few years there before he came to Midian, with a temporary amnesia and no idea how he got there. ((what happened in LA? it will be posted after the official part of this story))
The City of Midian showed Craven a new place to hide from his past, he made a few friends and is addicted to alcohol. Whatever happens, those who he calls friends can be sure that he would go through hell for them, he is loyal till death, and sometimes even after death.
And now the un-official:
When he arrived in LA ((If you ever read this, thanks Ky)), he went to a club, owned by kindred, he was there untill a group of vampire hunters came into the bar and began a slaughter on those undead. Craven helped them and became part of their gang.
Their leader a man called Rob, became his mentor, he was a fanatic and Craven followed blind, together with his brother in arms, Michael.
Rob tought Craven all he knew about kindred, about their factions, their clans, their rules, their masquerade. His 1st rule was "You can only destroy an enemy you understand". Craven followed this rule and was never to cruel or evil against his enemies, while his brother obviously enjoyed the slaughter.
One night, when they were hunting together, a Toreador vamp killed Rob and Craven was badly injured, Michael saved him and claimed the leadership of the gang. At that night, they stopped hunting only kindred, they began to slaughter without choosing their targets properly, they began to kill women and children, whole families, who had nearly no contact to any kind of vampires.
As soon as Craven was up on his feet again, he wanted to stop them but his brothers under the leadership of Michael were too many for him, they fought him down and dumped him in midian.
From the he recovered his memory, he decided to stay out of any of this business, from his point of view, the Kindred of the nightbreed are no threat to Midian, they live to their rules of the masquerade and aslong as they do that, he just stays out of the scene, and even he keeps the masquerade up by not saying anything.
After all, Craven is still unmasking some parts of his own past from time to time, and always a loyal friend. If you meet him, invite him for a beer, he prefers Beck's and talk.
((That's mostly all you might need to know, please let me know if you like it and tell me))
