"And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution, upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God. The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disentrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country from the silent shadowy demons that lurk. We therefore are the ordained oh humanity. " Abraham Lincoln


The year is 1865 and the great American Civil War is finally over. However there was another war that was waged in secret. When President Lincoln mentioned the demons that lurked...that was no figure of speech. The war was not simply to free slaves, but to stop America from being over run by a shadow nation of...vampires. Oh yes, they are quite real and have existed for thousands of years. Our sixteenth president led a covert band of hunters and slayers to dismantle the vampiric South from within, they were christened...The Ordained. They succeeded, but at a terrible price. A shadowy vampire overlord named John Wilkes Booth, ambushed Mr. Lincoln. Before anyone knew what happened, he was gone and Lincoln was dead. Now we, The Ordained, must hunt down this monstrous assassin through a ruined and vampire infested South to seek justice, to exact revenge and to secure retribution.

Name: Michael Andrew Conover
Age: 25
Height: 6'3
Weight: 200 lbs.
Physical Appearance: Conover.jpg
Occupation: Army Captian/Vampire Hunter
Abilties: Proficient firearms and explosives expert
Keen Strategist and Tactician
Expert at wielding axe in close combat

History:
Michael Andrew Conover was born illegitimately in the summer of 1840 in Boston, Massachusetts to William Conover...a dashing Officer in the Federal Army and his nineteen year old mistress Constance Todd...half sister of Mary Todd. When Michael was only a year old, his father walked out on him and his mother. Constance struggled to raise the young boy and by 1847 he was sent to live with his aunt Mary and uncle Abe, who could raise him in a proper home. Lacking a father figure, young Michael idolized his uncle Abraham, always seeking to emulate him.

With the help of his family's rising political influence, Michael joined the West Point Military Academy in 1857 to become an Officer. He graduated as a Second Lieutenant in 1861 just as his uncle Abe had been elected to the Presidential office and the eruption of civil war between North and South.

One night, while Michael was spending an evening of partying with some of his fellow officers, he drunkenly spies his uncle stealing away in a carriage headed to an unknown location. He mounts his horse and decides to follow. A little while later, he follows Lincoln's carriage to an isolated bridge, hides behind some brush and witnesses his uncle conversing with some shadowy figures. He is suddenly ambushed from behind by a fanged attacker, subdued and brought before his uncle. The men try to barter Lincoln's cooperation in exchange for Michael's life.

What happened next took Michael completely off guard. His kindly and mild mannered uncle Abe, suddenly became a kick ass action hero of such fighting prowess, he could hardly believe his eyes. Lincoln produced a worn rail splitter's axe and dispatched his foes with such skill and agility, he seemed an all together different person. After the battle, Michael than learned about the existence of vampires, they're threat to the future of the United States and his uncle's decades long struggle to destroy them. Out of shame, humiliation and his drive to prove himself, Michael begged Lincoln to teach him the ways of a hunter. After some consideration, Abraham conceded and began to mold his nephew into a vampire slaying machine, akin to his own skill. Michael took up his uncle's signature axe as a sign of respect. A short while later, Lincoln formed the secret vampire hunting unit code named "The Ordained", to operate covertly and dismantle the Southern vampire stronghold from within.

After his Lincoln was assassinated, Michael became the defacto leader of the unit and burned with vengeance for his slain uncle. He vows to hunt down the vampire overlord who murdered his mentor, no matter what the cost.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the powerful vampire and Jericho's father as well as the others were killed in front of the boy's eyes. Dracula was going to feed on the child as well but was driven off by a contingent of Comanche braves.

Jericho was than taken in by the Comanche chieftan, and given the name of Eagle's Claw. However just three years later, his village would be raided and young Jericho kidnapped by white calvarymen and sold into southern slavery. There he was taken under the wing of an old black man by the name of Mioses Bambara. Moises was a kidnapped free man from the north and as such was a literate and learned man.

Tragically when Jericho was eighteen, he witnessed Moises being savagely attacked and killed by the plantation owner, now revealed to be a vampire himself.
