Romulus was born the bastard son of a Babylonian noble and a slave girl in 1400 BC. His father's wife had born him 3 daughters but no sons. His father over-turned customs and declared Romulus his son to carry on the families lineage and titles.

Romulus life seemed tainted right from the beginnings.

Corruption's Tale

Ro's father reared him as a noblemans son and acquired the best tutors and seers of the time to teach and educate him.As a young child, Ro was sent to Egypt for his safety as threats of war from Assyria began to manifest. Ro was taken in by the pharoah as a favor to his father and lived most of his childhood within the palace walls.
The pharoahs children, Tuthmosis II and Hatshesput, became like family to him as he grew up. As he became older and his partner in crime Tuthmosis II began his solitary lessons to become pharoah, Ro began to see Hatshesput differently and his practical jokes towards her turned into long walks and small, secret gifts.
When Tuthmosis II arrivd home from a trip with fever and later died, Ro and Hatshesput found comfort in each others arms. They we're found in her bed the next day and Ro was brought before the pharoah and exiled. He was sent back to a home he barely knew that was ravaged by war, never to see his first love again.
Hatshesput later became the only queen pharoah in Egypt's history by marrying her young brother Tuthmosis III, but never bore children. She never took another lover-waiting for Ro to return to her. Ro returned to Babylon to find his home and father taken by the Assyrians.

He managed to reclaim his birthrights and began rebuilding his families name and wealth. He discovered the darker side of business suited him better and soon became a lord of Babylon's underworld.Through political games, the black markets and other illeagel activities he filled his families coffers and reattained his titles. But he was never able to reclaim the one prize he so desperately wanted, Hatshesput. Barred from returning to egypt, he settled into a comfortable but lonely life.

In his 20's, an exotic beauty arrived on his doorstep by the name of Kasha-Te. She filled his ears with plans of a return to her homeland of egypt and Ro's reunion with his beloved. She seduced Ro to her bed finally when her words had no effect. She then influenced Ro to sell weaponry to the Assyrians to conquer Egypt.
The Assyrians we're beaten back and her plan failed. When Ro became distant from her again after this defeat, she took him to her bed once more for the eternal sleep. She took him in a lovers embrace into the kindred world and into the clan of the Followers of Set.

Kasha~Te took her new childe into the world of the Setites. Ro learned even more tricks in the arts of subterfuge and illusion. With the blood of the chaos-makers roaring through his veins and his knowledge of the under-belly of Babylon, he and Kasha~Te soon set the great empire on its ear.
Laughing as the great empire of Babylon fell before their intrigues , they packed up Romulus' home and riches and left the crumbling city together as the Assyrians conquered.it. The two began a political rampage through the most powerful kingdoms and provinces of the middle-east and then the medditeranian.
They befriended the most powerful and influenced the rich and mighty. Causing confusion and discord wherever they went, they wielded sex,money and lies as their weapons of choice to destroy empires and cause revolution. Kasha~Te also used sex and lies to keep Romulus and his money under her sway.
After centuries of thier travels together, it soon became obvious that the student was beginning to surpass the teacher. Ro's plans and manipulations became more used as Kasha's ideas became thwarted in their deviltry. Kasha~Te became more and more angry as her own plans withered and Ro's corruptions bloomed. When Romulus was finally able to befriend a roman nobleman by the name of Brutus, who ignored Kasha's advances, she turned her anger on Ro and nearly destroyed him in a jealous fit.
Hoping to please her, Ro persuaded Brutus to assisinate his friend Caeser for the "good" of Rome. When Caeser was killed and Rome began its great downfall, Kasha~Te was humiliated and left Ro's side, forever harboring jealousy and anger towards her own childe for shining above her.
Romulus was crushed and alone once again. His child-like innocence of kindred society was shattered with the beating his sire had given him, and he vowed to learn more about himself and his own powers. He began a long solitary journey towards a vampire fairy-tale Kasha had mentioned several times......Golconda.
The beating his sire had inflicted and her act of leaving him had also burned two other vows in Ro's mind.

One-he would make her pay dearly for her jealousies by becoming 10 times the corrupter she would ever hope to be and show her what a real Setite could do.

Two- he would never inflict the same sorrow and damnation on another that she had done to him, he vowed to never make a childe of his own.

Keeping his first vow became his lifeblood. Breaking the second became his torment.
