4 Turned Children
General History: Hillard was the oldest of 8 children, all were born in Chatham-Kent, Upper Canada to somewhat very wealthy for that time parents his Father was American and his Mother Canadian. Hillard like his Father was bound for military services so when he barely finished school Hillard enlisted. He served diligently and through his service he met his wife, together just before the War of 1812 they had one son. Through the Crown of his Royal Majesty Hillard fought in War of 1812.
As weak as any man during his away time Hillard fell in love with a woman from the energy side, only she was more than human. She loved him back however and during the Battle of Thames, Corporal Hillard DuKane was mortally wounded by his own allies. Only just before dying he thought (delirious and mad from infection) an angel had come to save him and this angel looked just like the woman who he had fallen in love with: which it was; only she were a vampire and she made saved him all for herself.
Faced with the now 'live forever; live on blood' facade his sire had him right where she wanted him, she gaslit and manipulated Hillard into believing that he owed her. His wife and child would know and they would never accept him, she whispered how he would have to watch them live, age, and die. Hillard left Canada and returned to the United States where they lived for the first thirty to forty years traveling the great nation. Forty years soured folks who would never age; their bond had weakened and one day Hillards sire was gone....
...Hillard DuKane returned home for a while watching his wife greive her him, loved and marry another man who loved his son. He watched a boy grow and die never knowing of Hillard, always assuming "Gary" was his real Father. He watched as each parent died of old age, each sibling, friend, and lover. When his baby sister died in 1939, Hillard moved to Britain. He remained there until World War 2 where he enlisted yet again becoming a war hero even and in 1945 he sired his first "child", a German soldier who was a POW and the pair bonded. He would be listed as KIA but Hillard emerged in California just before the Vietnam conflict which again, he enlisted, sired two more children, and for the first time found his true calling in drug smuggling using the cover of the conflict to transport back to the States. He built a drug empire in the 60s and 70s, siring one more child before going once again dormant leaving his empire under the control of his last sired offspring in 1989.
During this time Hillard had property in the town of Sweetwater, under the name 'Edward Munson' who lived as a serious reclusive person but in reality Hillard controlled his drug empire all the while engaging in a new political battle for position of head of the Vampire Coven in Sweetwater. For 22 years no one besides the other Vampires in the area knew who Hillard DuKane was, four years ago Hillard finally got the position. As Coven leader his act as Munson was over and the man died suddenly, as his home goes on the market that's when Hillard DuKane "business man extriodnare" moves into Sweetwater opening their own restaurant 'Los Diablos'. He has become quite the popular man around town and has even mentioned running for position of Town Councilman! Meanwhile he floods the streets with drugs, influences out of town and city gangs to push into his town of Sweetwater to further corrupt it all the while running his Coven.
