Jesse Whitlock

Jesse Whitlock is a vampire and sire of Krystal Liu.

Early Life
Jesse was born in 1906, to John and Mary Whitlock, and older brother to Alice Whitlock, whom he loved dearly and shared a close sibling bond with. Being part of one of the founding families of Morlyn, Jesse had a wealthy upbringing.

In 1927, he was engaged to a woman named Amelia, who was also a close family friend. On the night before they were wed, Jesse was bit and turned into a vampire by Lena Carlisle. Horrified at what he had become, he briefly considered suicide until Lena convinced him to abandon his human life to be with her. Wanting to spare his family and Amelia from heartbreak and from himself, Jesse instead faked his own death, and left Morlyn to join Lena as her companion and lover.

Having inherited Lena's insatiable lust for blood, Jesse became known as one of the most ruthless and dangerous vampires of his time alongside his sire. However, he abandoned her sometime in the early 1940s, severing their relationship and their sire bond in the process. Shortly after, he returned to his family home in Morlyn only to discover his parents long dead, but reunited with the widowed and terminally-ill Alice. He remained with her until her eventual death, and have since been returning to Morlyn every year on the anniversary of her death.

In 1944, Jesse befriended twins Juliette and Matthias King, fledglings who have been left for dead by their sire Adrien Belrose. Taking pity on them, Jesse hunted Belrose down and left him at the mercy of the twins, who killed Belrose to complete their transitions into full-fledged vampires.

 * Mind Compulsion: Jesse can easily compel humans and, to a slightly lesser extent, vampires, especially those younger than him.
 * Sire Bond: Jesse shares a sire bond with his progeny, Krystal Liu, which allows him to sense her presence or if she is in grave danger. It also allows them to experience and share each other's emotions. Her blood also possesses greater healing properties for him as well as vice versa. He previously shared a sire bond with his progenitor, Lena Carlisle, but severed it when he denounced her.

Weaknesses
