Background

Nicolas Hatcher was born to a wealthy cotton farmer back in the early 1800s. He was given everything that was offered to a young child at that time, The best tutors from across the seas, to teach him about politics, Finical means. His fathers huge plantation with the newly invented cotton gin had made his father one of the wealthiest and respected men in the Atlanta Society. He wanted to make sure his heir would be able to pick up when he died since he was plagued with having his wives all die during birth until he finally got lucky at the age of 46. So young Nicolas received the best of schooling he could get. Young Nicolas just wanted to be a kid but his father didn’t allow it, having his son strictly trained in the Victorian Era Social dynamics. He also raised his son to be a ruthless slave master also to make sure that his son one day never felt sorry for the means of there Income.

By the age of 12 Nicolas was assisting his father in all the public affairs his father had to go to, which raised quite a few eyebrows seeing such a young child in the hustle and bustle of the other members of the society, but since Nicolas SR. was one of the most respected members in society no one really said anything about it.

Nicolas Sr. And his wife were both lost around Nicolas’s 16th year, leaving everything to Nicolas. Some people suspected that maybe Nicolas JR. might have had something to do with it but it was never proved. Nicolas began buying up more property around his father’s old land expanding his plantation. He also was able to make a deal with the GA state correction facilities, to get prisoners to start working on his fields also, thus growing more cotton and being to control more of the market. He also put down a decent amount of Capitol for a small merchant in the city, to be able to start up a fine silk tailoring shop in Atlanta. Nicolas was ruthless with money and by the time he turned twenty one had almost doubled the land his father held. Tripled his work force, and was making substancal gains in revenue to further his own status within Atlanta.

For a mortal to make such waves in Atlanta was a blessing and a curse. Nicolas started perking up the interests of the local kindred population. His social graces pinged him a for sure for a Deava, so Miranda Calloway starts stalking Nicolas seeing if he has what it takes to be an Invictus, She ghouls Nicolas and starts training him with Majesty she only teaches him the first levels at first to see how he responds to it. During this time, Miranda also teaches Nicolas the finer elements to kindred politics, and the hidden meanings of everything the first estate stands for and what they do.

Nicolas as a ghoul learns quickly on the finer elements of kindred affairs, but still stays in the shadows, gaining his own infulance, and showing Miranda as her childe she wouldn’t have to watch him, he can take care of him self mostly. Miranda finds about the infulance structure that Nicolas has surmounted, and is proud of her thrall. She makes a formal petition to embrace Nicolas. His Grace Prince Winchester grants Miranda the rights to embrace this young man, and bring him into the First Estate.

This hits the radar with a Noseferatu Hermet who has for the longest time been looking to get the last laugh in his current feud with Miranda. He sees this as his opportunity, to take this ghoul from Miranda he sneeks into Nicolas’s home and drains him completely and feeds him enough of his blood to not be close to the hunger. Miranda walks in during the feeding. She sees this and leaves heading back to the Howell House. She informs Prince Winchester about what just happened. He became irate, and left with her, and a fellow hunting party to Nicolas’s home to get to the bottom of it. As soon as he walked in he had the hermit subdued and brought both Nicolas and Grossman the Hermit taken to the Howell House. He brought back Grossman awake from the small elclipse. Only to hold a hearing on why he should let Grossman to live. He sentenced Grossman to final death and put Nicolas under Miranda’s charge for training,

Nicolas finished his training as a steward and was released from Miranda, only to continue a relationship with her. With her status he was guaranteed into the Elder meetings and into the upper echelons of status within the city. As a steward he began making deals with the elders on how they want there eclipse handled. While doing that Nicolas took in a couple of retainers to handle his farms, and took in a ghoul to continue his plantation within his control. Withen a decade William was the Noseferatu Priscus a notable domain holder in Atlanta, and Madem Senshcals siginafinc other.

Nicolas continued his training in the Nosferatu gifts growing closer and closer to mastering the power of the Nightmares. It looked like he would be growing and growing until he would not be able to have his power withen the city stripped from him as long as Winchester was in hold.

With the civil war starting Nicolas, begin making him a secured sleeping place in the back of his family Mausoleum at the back of it he built up a room with a secred passage, in that of a brick wall. To where no one would ever be suspect. He also began putting some of his money, in that of gold bars, Began stashing some of his rarer paintings there thus ensuring that when he woke, he would not be left stranded in the city if he ever slipped into eclipse.

When General George Sherman began his march throu Atlanta to Savanna Nicolas slipped into Elclipse for reasons that are unknown now, upon Miranda finding out about it, had his body transferred to his secret krypt, with a letter to the prince when he woke up giving proof to his membership into the Invictus and also telling Nicolas that she took over his plantation till the time he wakes and is able to regain his control over it. Hopeing that Nicolas would only sleep for a small amount of time.
