Place of Birth: Hamburg, Germany

Father’s human entity of Scottish descent
Father’s vampiric entity of Greek descent

Height: 6’10” / 82 inches / 2.1 meters tall.
Weight: 310 lbs. / 145 kg
Hair: Darkest Brown
Eyes: Ocean blue when calm. The rage of Icarus within his eyes burns deep crimson when agitated.

Strengths:
• Large size and great strength. (Can lift approximately 12 tons when calm, unknown potential when enraged.)
• Very strong science proficiency within the fields of biochemistry, botany, genetics, and viral pathogenesis. This stems from his undying interest with studying how the energy of life works and can be manipulated. His work these nights is highly involved in genetic engineering of various blooms and botanical oils to serve various purposes.
• Diplomatic communications, assertive speaking, and reasoning.
• Immune to sunlight. His Über metabolism is able to repair the damaging effects of UV light at a highly-efficient rate. (Rodargo is a human/vampire hybrid)
• Cool, calm, and soft-spoken even during times of high stress and duress. Manners are imperative.
• Shadow walking. When younger, Rodargo gradually gained the ability to transfer his entire physical form into the absence of light. A trick which he gained over years of strengthening his mind and concentration. Now his preferred method of travel, Rodargo can transfer himself vast distances in very short periods of time.

Weaknesses:

• Liz Summers. Rodargo is madly, crazy in love with his wife. He is also "slightly" over-protective of her. The mere thought of his wife being harmed, even in the slightest way, sends his calm demeanor into a balistic rage. Something he has struggled with controlling, although he is making gradual progress.
• Blood and food. Rodargo is a voracious eater, and must consume massive portions of both blood and human food to maintain his Über metabolism.
• Holy water and garlic materials do exhibit painful effects over Rodargo.
• Rodargo is unconditionally polite to women….to a fault. Even during moments Rodargo would like to be blunt and stand up for himself against the female variety, Rodargo is overtaken with mannerisms.


Weapon of Choice: bare hands

Fighting Proficiencies: Straight hand-to-hand combat. RoD enjoys using his bare hands to smash vials of Holy Water or canisters of Garlic Spray upon his vampiric victims. Although he himself suffers some blood-loss from this style of combat, he ultimately savors the feel of raw pain. Pain reminds him of being more alive than dead.

• Due to his large size, Rodargo has never required any need for learning many of the more intricate forms of hand-to-hand combat (i.e., martial arts) His brute strength has, on most occasions, allowed him free reign upon his victims, both human and vampire.
  

Hand-held power weapons. (i.e., dual sawed-off shotguns, high-caliber handguns). RoD prefers using his custom-made Model 500 revolvers using 0.500 Magnum caliber rounds when the mood strikes him to be pleasantly violent.

  Rodargo entered the City in October 2003.
