Mose Kovner

Page history last edited by Brock Samson 12 years, 7 months ago
 

NAME: Mose Kovner

 

NICKNAME/ALIAS: 

 

AGE: 100 years old (looks to be in his 30's) 

 

SPECIES: Vampire

 

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Mose is tall, around 6'4 and has a very athletic build. He's dark complected and has thick black hair that he keeps cut short when they are working but during down time (something there hasn't been much of in the last ten years) he lets it grow a bit longer.  

 

OCCUPATION: Contractor (read mercenary) for Spartan Military Solutions

 

PERSONALITY: Mose can be a bit melancholy at times though he's a generally happy person. Life is difficult for him at the moment as he is trying to reconcile his still some what new lifestyle as a vampire with the fact that in life he had been a fairly observant Jew. He is family oriented, still caring for his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Of all the vampires Constantine has made he is the one most in touch with his humanity.

 

BACKGROUND: Mose was born in 1911 to into a small rural Jewish community near Leszno in what would become Poland. At he time the area was occupied by German and Austro-Hungarian forces and it wasn't until Mose was seven years old that the land he lived in was called Poland once more. His family was pleased at their new found freedom but ultimately were more concerned with day to day life than they were with the greater politics of Europe.

 

Mose proved to be a good student and his parents encouraged him to pursue education as far as he could and so upon completing high school he went on to University. He studied Chemistry at the University of Warsaw and excelled not only in academics but also in a rifle club and in track and field. After university he returned home where he became a science teacher, spending his weekends grading papers and hunting in the surrounding forests. Mose had a love of the outdoors and liked to learn about different types of plants and birds common to the area. Mose got married, and had two children and devoted himself to them. 

 

Then in 1939 the invasion of Poland began and the area he lived in was invaded by Nazi forces. Mose packed up his family and they hid in the woods as word of atrocities came quickly. Things settled down after a while and Mose and his family started coming out of their hiding place in the woods more often. As they started to think that the worst might have been over, Nazi soldiers started rounding up the Jews. There were some who tried to run for it and Mose debated it for too long and soon his only options were to do as the Nazis said or go into hiding. His choice to go into hiding came too late though and he was not able to get all of his family into the woods in time.

 

His parents were shot in front of their home for refusing to leave. This changed Mose's attitude about the entire experience. Things had gone from simply trying to survive to a deep desire for revenge. Once he and his family had safely disappeared into the woods and mountains of Poland, Mose quietly went into the towns near by and stocked up on chemicals and ammunition. A burning hatred of the Nazis fueled his long nights spent building chemical bombs and soon he unleashed his wrath on anyone in a Nazi uniform.

 

Mose waged a one man war against his enemies and attacked them in the most savage ways he could think of. He gassed them with ammonia based bombs, set fire to the exits of Nazi barracks, booby trapped their weapons and barracks, and so on. Eventually word of Auschwitz made it to Mose and added fuel to the fire. He began making it a point to capture Nazis and punish them in ways described in the Torah. Nazi forces put a rather impressive bounty on his head and described him as a murder and a terrorist.

 

One day, while out hunting for his family, he thought for sure he was a dead man. He had managed to evade the Nazi's for years so in a way he figured he was due. This Nazi was an officer and by himself, it made no sense. Until the man introduced himself as Karl Friedrich and said he was an American spy and offered to help Mose escape. Mose insisted that his family be allowed to come to and within weeks he was sailing for America. When they arrived in New York City they were greeted by Constantine and a few other vampires he had made. 

 

Constantine explained that Karl Friedrich had spoke highly of his efforts in harassing the Nazi's in Poland and that he wanted to help Mose and his family make a new life in America. Included in that offer was the offer of immortality and the ability to protect his family for as long as he liked. Mose agreed after some serious thinking and a talk with his Rabbi. Constantine taught him how to be a vampire but for the most part allowed him to focus on his family until his children were grown. When Constantine relocated, Mose and his family did as well. 

 

Mose with time became an active part of Constantine's contract work and has used his portion of the profits to take care of his family as it has grown over the years. His wife passed away in the 80's and now only one of his children are still alive. It is his grandchildren and great grandchildren that he watches over now. His family has kept his vampirism on a need to know level. The youngest members of the family are not aware that Mose is their great grandfather nor are they aware that he is a vampire. When the time is right it will be revealed to them as well.

 

STRENGTHS: Is able to feed off violence but that is the only power beyond the usual stuff that has manifested thus far. He is a family man and still observes as many of the Mitzvahs as he can in this state. His Rabbi years ago referred to him as "the sword of Ehud."  

 

WEAKNESSES: His family is a major weak point for Mose. As loyal as he is to Constantine his family is still one of the single most important things in his life and if his life as a vampire were connected to his family life they would prove to be a sizable target.

 

ITEMS ALWAYS FOUND ON THIS CHARACTER: He rarely goes without a weapon of some sort. This drives Constantine crazy who is still trying to convince his youngest creation that weapons such as guns are entirely unnecessary now.

 

SPECIALIZED COMBAT/DEFENSE SKILLS, if any: He is educated and has a good knowledge of bomb making. These skills were further enhanced as Constantine paid for him to receive formal training on the subject. He is also quite good with guns and is one of the few vampires in SMS that uses them still.

 

OTHER SPECIAL POSSESSIONS: Recovered his father's Tallit and still uses it when he prays. 

 

QUIRKS, INTERESTS, HOBBIES: Is still interested in the outdoors and has been frustrated for years that it is politically unacceptable for him to enter the Everglades. He has also kept up with his chemistry.
