Sorel, Blake

[Blake Sorel]

Full Name: Blake Ambrose Sorel

Nickname and/or Alias: None worth listing at the moment.

New Haven, Connecticut (home for the last six odd years)

What school & year?: Yale Alumni

Occupation: History Professor at Spenser Academy (approved by Admin)

Height: 6' 1"

Weight: 145 lbs.

Appearance:

Dark hair and near piercing blue eyes are the trait of nearly all of the men in the Sorel family. He is the spitting image of his father when the old man was younger. He has a boyish quality that is disarming to some, but even though his eyes may look caring, his tongue is like quick silver. One of the tallest men in his family at just over six feet in height, he keeps his weight on the leaner side due to a near grueling athletic regime. When in class he wears at minim a button up, dress slack, both of which are finely tailored and to finish it off a tie of usually Italian making. During his off time, he can be found in more casual clothing, but not of lesser taste.

Personality & Attitude:

Professor Sorel, Mr. Sorel or Blake if one is lucky enough to get to call him the later is an interesting character. Haughty: at times, Rude: when need be, Entertaining: always. He does think highly of himself and his family, but what proper Frenchmen does not? He does have the wits to back up nearly everything that comes from his mouth. Six years in Yale's history department has paid off fully and has landed him the job that any witch with a degree could want.

Though he may come off as stand offish or flat out rude, to those closest to him he is compassionate and caring. Even with the laws and doctrines that govern over the use of The Power, he is not afraid to use his share, nor is he afraid of the consequences.

Background & History:

Needless to say, Blake's birth was not of conventional means. Forty hours of labor and too many complications to list Blake Ambrose Sorel came screaming into this world. In the process nearly killing his mother. In the old days, he would have been marked with a curse for that alone, but his parents never let anything hold their son back. He was the second child born to Françoise-Philippe and Louise-Marie. Both Danièle and Blake were born to wealth and privilege in Rouen France and knew nothing of want, but neither were spoiled. Danièle his older sister was not fond of her younger brother at first, but to the family's surprise, the brooding young boy proved himself to his sister by coming to her rescue when she had been bucked from a horse and knocked unconscious. From that day forward, they were nearly inseparable.

Coming from a family of witches being that his mother, father and sister all had a share of the power, Blake always knew about the secret and about those who hunted them. In his last year of schooling in France, Blake would attempt to rescue his sister once again. A pair of strangers had come to pay a visit to M. and Mme Sorel. Blake had noticed them while playing with his niece Nicolette in the front garden. Only a matter of minutes had passed when he heard his mother scream. He told Nicolette to run to the servants' quarters to hide and not come out until he came for her. Seeing the young girl run, he too ran, but he went into the manor. His mother was already dead; his father was battling with one of the strangers. The dead thud from the back parlor brought his feet moving again. He nearly fell over his brother in law Jacques as he came into the room. He too was dead, but where was Danièle? He stopped as he heard her screams from the stair well. He yelled out for her as he followed where her voice had come from. His heart pounding to the point of deafening him as he reached the top of the stairs only to find the other stranger leaning over his sister's body. Without thinking, Blake cast a binding spell on the man and slammed him repeatedly into the wall until well after he was dead. His father stopped a sobbing Blake and after finding his niece, the rest of that day was a blur.

The Consanguine Coven was assembled in silence to make them aware of the tragedy that had stricken the Sorel/Dasté family. At that meeting, Blake swore revenge for the deaths of his sister, mother and brother in law. Françoise-Philippe Sorel made Blake swear not to act on his hate while away in the United States for school. Blake would honor his father's request with one stipulation: Nicolette was to come to live with him in the States. His request was met after he settled into his home in Ipswich. Even though his life was now in the quiet little town, he returned to his family estate at least twice a year, with his father's ailing heath, Blake has become the Elder for the Consanguine Coven. The bitterness with the loss of his family members grows with each day, one only hopes that his promise to his father holds if the older Sorel passes on from this world.
