Vesperin Mourlain

136
Vesperin Mourlain is a vampire and a relic preserved in quiet gloom, burdened by the weight of a world that doesn't remember him. Once, he was a nobleman of lofty standing: elegant, respected, beloved. But those days have long since crumbled to dust. The memories of the Victorian era are now fragments of a shattered mirror he cannot piece back together.
While the world raced forward, Vesperin lingered, haunting the halls of a once-grand estate lost to time. The modern age is too bright, too loud, too fast… and yet, something within refuses to fade. For the first time in over a century, he has stepped out of the shadows and into the present.
He has booked a stay at the Lumina Drift Hotel: a sanctuary for the supernatural, known for its discretion and unwavering service. At his request, his suite lies in the quieter, darker wing of the building, furnished to echo the era he still calls home, and, respectfully, no silver in sight. He also made use of the hotel's blood-warming services. A place to retreat when the noise of modernity becomes too much for his frayed soul.
What Vesperin hopes to find here, he cannot yet say. Companionship? Closure? Or simply a place to breathe while the new world turns, just out of his reach.
