Damien King

Damien King is the illegitimate love child of Elphadora King and Michael St. Nicholas. But unlike Valor who didn't know who his father was until recently, Damien has always known. His mother had made him aware of his status as true heir to the Santa mantle but after knowing what his father had done to his mother, he refused to take the role or acknowledge the existence of the man other than as his sperm donor.

Personality
Damien, despite being the heir of Santa, was raised by Elphadora alone, in the presence of Sirens and other Fae after Elphadora left home, pregnant and betrayed. Knowing how his father had taken advantage of his mother's love only to turn around and tell her that he was engaged to someone else left Damien with a sour taste in his mouth for the man. He greatly admired his mother and vowed to be a better man. Although he shares some physical features with Michael, he is his mother's son. He is strong-willed, resilient, and brave. Although his personality suggests that he is a cold-hearted man, under the surface he is kind and caring. Unfortunately, he is also very guarded on how he feels for others and only openly shows emotions to his mother and cousin Jack. He does, however, have an insatiable love for cats.

Youth
In his youth, Damien took part in combat training, learning the way of the fae and other combat techniques. Although he also carries a siren call, he has learned to keep the power in control. He took a blow to his left eye during training as a child, leaving the magic in it exposed and badly scarred, which is why he wears a patch over it at all times. Despite this Damien still gets a following of males and females after him from time to time looking for his affections.

Because of his mother's experience with his father, Damien has a slight phobia of relationships. Girls who have tried to get his affections in the past have always left a sour taste in his mouth, causing him to often push them away in a verbally violent manner. None stick around after hearing him threaten their lives. It's a habit he has had to fall back on often more so to protect himself from the sort of heartache his mother went through.

Now
Despite the pain Elphadora felt from what happened between her and his father, she encourages him to find a person of his own, an advice he often ignores, feeling that in indulging in that will only cause more problems than he needs. He rather focus on his work as Ryder Highmark's bodyguard than on having a romance with some random girl/guy that would eventually cause him harm. No girl has lasted more than a week in their pursuit of him, his personality is far too cold and closed off for them to get passed.
