      Chronicle 0.5
      One fateful day he received a call from his cousin who needed him to buy a package on his behalf. Everlast agreed and took his car down to meet his cousin. His cousin gave him several thousand dollars cash and told him that he would pick the package up from Everlast tomorrow evening. Everlast went and bought some clothes with the money before heading to the purchase spot.
      After paying the shady contacts for an awkwardly large and heavy duffel bag, Everlast went to the truck and open-end it. It was filled with weapons. Everlast quickly closed it and began driving. Noticing he was being followed, he pulled into a gas station. Unfortunately for him he panicked, crashing his car into a nearby fire hydrant. The people in the car got out and attacked him. He managed to fight them off with his skill despite them wielding crowbars and tire irons. The final man in the car got out, however, and shot Everlast in the head.
      Everlast woke up in a trunk, barely remembering what happened. Luckily for him, Hasan Bartell was nearby and keeping an eye on him. Hasan embraced him before it was too late before killing his attackers.
      Everlast fled from Hasan’s compound in a panic and was tracked through the woods with the help of Xanthus and Matio.
      Everything was explained to Everlast and he calmed down.
      Matio and Everlast hit it off, finding work given to them by Baron Eric. On their first assignment they encountered Baron Keeling, his companion, Katrina and Core.
      Despite their first encounter with Keeling and Katrina being negative they quickly became semi-sociable with them, visiting his club, Club Keeling, and taking part in his underground fight club. Everlast defeated the reigning champion Kurt Lowry and took his spot as champ.
      As time went by, Everlast grew into his powers and newfound life, embracing them fully.
      He infiltrated Baron “Old” Hef’s domain alongside Matio and later, Core. They reclaimed an abandoned estate, fought off biker gangs, made money, performed some museum heists, defended Fantasia from an assault, freed Abigail Lewis from Torpor, sent kindred to the final death, negotiated for the freedom of Tyrique Williamson, and even had some fun in between.
      Everlast had a meeting with Nadia Kihn, his grandsire, in which she spoke in depth about their clan and answered some of his questions.
      Everlast, alongside Matio, Core, and Mark Henry made their way to Locustwood Manor at the behest of Baron Eric. Communications had gone dead. Once arriving they searched the area, suspecing Abigail Lewis of lurking around waiting to possibly attack them. Core and Matio eventually found 18 out of 20 security staff dead in the woods several hundred yards from the manor. They had been killed by a curved blade, an axe, an ripped apart. Everlast was in The Catacombs when he got a call from Matio that Core was fighting someone. That someone was Bjorn Magnusson. Everlast joined the fight, using lightning strike to hit him before he could react. The three of them managed to fight and defeat Bjorn. Everlast attempted diablerie on him but was stopped by Abigal, who used presence powers on Core and Matio. Everlast attacked Abigail, damaging her before she disappeared, allowing Everlast to attempt diablerie in peace. Although it was an incomplete diablerie, Everlast's hunger was sated.
      Later on that night Everlast decided to embrace Mark Henry, doing it in a bathtub in The Penthouse.
      The Coterie continued to grow stronger and more unified over the next few weeks and months.
