Jean-Claude Daemonis
Mr. Jean-Claude Daemonis (a.k.a. JC)
Written by: Null Kit
I'm not unaccustomed to eccentric socialites with unpredictable goals and the means to have them come to fruition by way of criminal mercenaries, but the man who insists on being called 'JC' by his hired subordinates, as if he was a close friend trying to replace an embarrassing nickname, not only tests my patience but my very mettle as a data-gatherer. On the surface he's merely one more madman in Raleigh: A fashion mogul transparently pushing the rumor of being the only elven vampire in the sixth world, and on top of all that, he's Quebecois with an irritatingly thick accent. Beneath that lies a madman still, but one with a plan that might have been put into place long before most people on the planet were even alive, and he is slowly but assuredly gathering the means to go through with the whole thing. Perhaps his plan has a structure behind its apparent lunacy, or maybe we're about to watch a lunatic kill himself in a spectacular fashion.Calling him Quebecois is a fantastic way to really piss him off. This can be hilarious if you time it properly. And I highly suggest you time it properly, if you're brave enough to even call him that in the first place, that is.Whatever the outcome, I will simply say this: A not-insubstantial number of people have been killed to conceal Jean-Claude Daemonis' true nature. Many a long time ago, others recent, and one who was killed in the midst of divulging information to the very person writing this. If you're conspiring to continue on the trail, consider yourself warned.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
As Jean-Claude's physical needs are met by a personal physician, any potential medical records are subject to the same draconian cleansing as every other scrap of information about the man. What little I can tell is that his physique appears to be that equivalent to a man in his early thirties at most, and a physique that would be considered greatly athletic by elven standards. As of yet, absolutely no signs of augmentation via cyberware or bioware.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Much of Jean-Claude's history prior to the awakening is wrapped in mystery, but his existence as one of those few elves born prior to the awakening in 2012 is one thing I can be certain of, and to a less falsifiable extent, I've been presented with what is claimed to be a painting from the so-called 'Dutch Golden Age' collection of a man who fits Jean-Claude's likeness. As of this writing, the true extent of Jean-Claude's ancientry cannot be truly verified to any more meaningful extent.
Fragments of data recovered from the first crash make passing mention of elves of 'Jean-Claude' and a 'Mr Daemon', but it is only after the Second Crash that the Jean-Claude we know began to make himself public to the world, purchasing modest shares into various fledgeling corporations under several pseudonyms before finally purchasing a majority share of the 'Proctor and Praetor' clothing company, one of the largest brands not majority-owned by one of the big ten Megacorps, rebranding it as 'Beyond Romance' in a hostile takeover.
Investigation into the data-trails surrounding the stock purchase shows every NuYen spent to be legitimate and traceable back to before the first crash, where the trail unfortunately crumbled with the rest of the old matrix.With new money to legitimise his old money, Jean-Claude settled into the North-American continent as one of the CAS's eccentric socialites, gracing late-night gettogethers with his presence and eventually hosting his own, usually with some hokey 'save the children' charity attached to it, sowing connections and opportunities as they pay for an opportunity to sit in on his latest show or what have you. Past the public persona however, he has began to make moves towards plans more personal than mere financial and social affluence, and likely older than the sixth world itself. Mercenaries, hired through proxy operating through proxy, sent to gather seemingly unconnected artifacts and curios, up to and including another pre-awakening elf. Some of them paid handsomely for their silence, others silenced directly. I tread carefully on such a line with every word I type, but by whatever ragged thread of my morals that remains to this day I cannot stop myself from pursuing this further, whatever curse might befall me for doing so.
Well that's dramatic. But not inaccurate... y'know, on second thought, maybe it wasn't dramatic enough... Jean-Claude's just not right in the head.

Mental Trauma
Psychosis? Fuck if I know.
Morality & Philosophy
Jean-Claude is either completely devoid of a moral compass or goes by a set of values so alien to the metahuman mind that the difference between them and an outright lack of morals is semantic at best.
The answer is yes.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
N/A
He does have a plan, but your lifetime is too short to explain it in the necessary detail.
Uh, Vodka, you know something we need to know? Because that's fuckin' terrifyin'.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
The true range and extend of Jean-Claude's skills remains to be seen in full, but I have it on good authority that his skills as a socialite and manipulator are indeed matched by his abilities in physical combat.
Seems strange, then, that he walks with a cane, doesn't it?
Likes & Dislikes
Fuck knows. Clothes? Orgies? The fucker drinks IV bags of blood for fun, for fuck's sake.
He prefers Type O Negative.
Well that's disturbing.
Relationships
History
I have little evidence to support this beyond my own experiences, I must admit, but there is no doubt whatsoever that these two have some degree of shared history together, one that demands a great degree of subserviance from Vincent towards Jean-Claude.
Wealth & Financial state
The scope of Jean-Claude's wealth can be thusly summarised as 'yes'. if it exists and can be purchased, he can buy it. If it cannot, he can afford men who will make it purchaseable.
