History: Mortal

Isaac or Ike as his friends referred to him moved with his family to Atlanta as a small boy in the mid 1980s. His single mother struggled to find work to feed, clothe, and shelter her three boys (of which Ike was the middle child) but eventually tended bar in the evenings and cleaned houses during the day. As you can imagine, the boys were left pretty much to their own devices. The Hamilton boys did what alot of inner city poor do: misdeamenor crimes and fighting. The difference is that Ike wanted more. He had a gift of charm even at a young age, so their street scams were quite successful. As a teen, he also took note of the renovations that took place in the city in preparations for the 1996 Olympics. There just had to be a way for him to get his foot in the door on this property scam, it was legit as well. So what to do for a poor kid?

Luck smiled on Ike's family as his mother met and remarried a Coca-Cola employee in the late 1990's. With stable income, mother was around more and actually was able to harness in the boys...a bit. But with this new environment, young Isaac was able to find a means to his desired ends and could concentrate on schoolwork. So, as his elder brother moved to Florida after school to work construction, Ike managed to get some federal aid and attend Argosy University in Atlanta and get his business degree. Soon, he had his loans paid off and built quite a reputation in the real estate biz, known for sniffing out cheap properties with a huge upside and making a nice profit. Things were going great for this twenty six year old. What could stop him now?

Embrace

Unbeknown to Ike, an entire society existed parallel to his own own and sometimes it does connect. With all his dealings in real estate and property, he had drawn the attention of one James Hopkins, who had shall we say...an affinity for dealings with territory. James contacted Ike and set up some business meetings, always in the evening of course due to Mr. Hopkins schedule but being the ever persuant fellow, he eagerly went to speak about some property that Mr. Hopkins owned. Oh yes...hook, line, and sinker; Isaac was realed in. James had been studying Hamilton, again unknown to him, for a good while now and his questions toward Isaac were quite precise.

Ah, the meetings were made, canceled, rescheduled, and quite numerous. Just as Ike had nearly given up Hopkins as a waste of time, his life changed. Well, it ended and began simultaneously. Isaac was brought across the line into this unbelievable, well it had to be believable now that he sees it, world that exists more askew rather than parallel as he first assumed. It is the world of Atlanta Kindred and from what Hopkins has told him after the embrace, he's going to need every bit wits that he can muster just to survive, let alone thrive here. "Its the greatest opportunity for someone like you Hamilton, what will it be? Success or failure here are both great. Choose now." Oh yes, look at the potential! Ike believes he can use his natural gifts to expand that potential. But how?

Memphis

Isaac was maybe a bit too paranoid about hanging around Atlanta as now a predator and needed to continue his training in a different environment. Hopkins pulled a few strings and arranged for Isaac to be tutored in Memphis. So he loaded up his car and thought an overnight drive would be just great. A few choice CDs in the car, and in a few hours he would be there. You know the saying about "the best laid plans"? Well, either that or Murphy's Law. Regardless, no sooner had he hit the outskirts of town than he was attacked. At first a huge rock was tossed through his windshield causing an accident. As he stepped from his car, he was approached by a normal looking human; then well, much of it was a blur after that. One minute he was getting ready to let some kine have it, then some kindred hunting beast had ripped up Isaac, broke a tree in half and staked him. Fortune smiled once more, as Hopkins found him just before sunrise. Isaac was healed, then made is way off to Memphis once more.

In Memphis, Isaac learned much of the ways of the First Estate while listening and learning much from other covenant's discussions in Elysia. Though political maneuverings were a hobby of his, Isaac found that his interests were being steered in two different paths. One was that his new Instructor: Alder Emily Masters was the Groom for the First Estate in Memphis. Isaac learned that as Groom, animals are sometimes used, but the true gift of the Groom is people management and finding the occassional 'special' vessel for kindred. Isaac leapt at the chance to learn and show his aptitudes with finding, selecting, charming and coercing potential herds.

The other came from Alder Luis Alavarez. He was an Invictus Gangrel with a more scientific bent. He showed Isaac the powers of the blood upon plants, in particular that of Mandragora and Lacrima. With a small vial, one could pay off boons or secure new ones. Hamilton liked the idea and delved into the lessons. Unfortunately, Alvarez was killed shortly before Isaac returned to Atlanta, but not before giving him a name of a potential mentor near Atlanta; one skilled in these arts.

Atlanta Redux

With Alvarez dead and Masters seemingly content that Hamilton had learned sufficiently, Hamilton was ushered back to Atlanta as the Invictus became embroiled in a covenant war with the Circle. Time could not be spent in tuteledge to a fosterling, so Hamilton came back to Atlanta. Now where to go from here?

Still a Paige and Unreleased, Isaac knows he must prove himself and that he will do. He also knows that almost all of the kindred that were in Atlanta before his leaving town are no longer around. He must figure out what niches are there and how to carve one out for himself. Oh yes, quite a challenge for a young one, but isn't that always the way?
