Inner †
Seven words to describe Theo with are sarcastic, kinda funny, arrogant and just plain rude, nonchalant, flirty and overprotective. This might be an odd combination of characteristics, and it surely is, and yet these are the pillars on which his character is based. Of course he isn't that superficially. There's a lot more to him that meets the eye. Anyway, he's known for his sharp comments and for being mean or rude on random moments of the day, but he obviously doesn't really care. He's very arrogant, so this doesn't really help much either. He thinks he's better than most vampires and that all vampires are better than werewolves and hunters. And of course humans. Everyone is better than those tiny, insignificant ants. He also thinks he's very funny and will more often than not laugh with his own jokes, even if they are extremely rude and just not funny at all.
Even though he is, as I just stated, very cocky, he's also kinda nonchalant. After nearly 240 years of roaming the earth, he had finally understood that time means nothing if you're immortal, so he just takes everything at his own pace. He doesn't really care what happens to what's around him, so you could also call him indifferent and careless. The only person he really cares about is Cat.
He's a flirt and everyone knows it. "What's life without a little fun", he says whenever someone tells him he's a casanova. He can be very charming when he needs to be and this in combination with his good looks in humor, is the thing that the ladies love about him. He gets a kick out of hitting on married women of girls with boyfriends and likes to challenge himself from time to time by flirting with a guy or multiple people at once (this often results in threesomes). He's also very experienced when it comes to sex.
And lastly, Theo can be very aggressive when it comes to protecting those he loves (which used to be his father, then the other orphan children and now Kittycat). He's not afraid to start a fight and he's so arrogant and self-assured he thinks he's gonna end all of time. Until this day, he did, but one day it'll backfire and he knows it.
Outer †
[FC: Diego Barrueco] Theo doesn't really have a special appearance. He has dark brown hair, which he keeps semi long and rather messy. He has a fringe, which something he just lets it do the fringething and something he put gel in it. For special occasions he put a little bit of gel in his hair but he hates the stickiness of the substance, so he tries to avoid using it.
Theo's eyes are dark brown, though there's a bit of green in them, and they don't really show much emotion. It is rather with his face he expresses certain emotions and feelings, yet he makes sure he keeps a blank and expressionless face. His eyelashes are rather long and feminine, though, and that is the thing he hates most about the way he looks. He has a sharp jaw and he does the 'jaw thing' quite a lot.
He has a height of 1.77 meters. In the 18th century, this was rather tall, because men born in England in that time were about 1.69 meter. And even now, Theo's height is above the average of 1.75 meter for British males. Yet there are still guys taller than him. He doesn't really mind. People taller than him don't intimidate him or whatever. Most of the time he also wears fancy shoes with a tiny heel, so he looks a bit taller, though he doesn't wear them for that purpose.
He mostly wears smart clothing, like trousers with a neat shirt and a blazer. He prefers to look professional over casual. Though, when he's at the loft, he dares wearing only a shirt and some jogging pants, although he doesn't feel that comfortable in them.
Theo has a few tattoos. On his right arm he has flowers and a rising sun with wings. They don't really mean much, it was more that he liked the look of them. He also has another tattoo, which is one part of the couple tattoo he and Cat share. His is a red King of Hearts and Cat's is a red Queen of Hearts. All his tattoos are in color. Theo also has a lip piercing, but he takes it out more, than he leaves it it.
History †
Theo was born to Helena and Edward Wren, a prostitute and a blacksmith in 1776. His parents were never married and only met once, the night on which Theodore was conceived. After that he grew up in a community of blacksmiths and other craftsmen, yet one by one they all had to quit due to the Industrial Revolution. It became harder and harder to compete against the factories, so eventually they are went bankrupt. Because Edward couldn't take care of the now ten years old Theodore, he abandoned him on the streets and fled the city.
For sixteen years Theo lived on the street with some other orphans. They went working in the multiple factories and lived together in an old building. Some of the other kids went on the streets and stole food and money, but after a while a lot of them just disappeared.
On the sixth of June, 1800, when he was walking towards the building where he and a few other 20-year-olds were staying, a hooded figure appeared in front of him and tackled him on the street. Theo doesn't remember much else about that night, only that he woke up a few days later in a bed that wasn't his, looking up at a face he'd never seen before. The person told him he had become a vampire and was now undead. Egnatius (that was the name of Theo's master) also explained quickly what the young vampire needed to know about the new him. After that Egnatius left to never return again.
Theo knew he couldn't stay in that city where everyone knew who he was, so he fled the city and eventually the country. It wasn't until the 1830s he met other vampires. He hung around with two vampires and their subjects for a while, but it was obvious that their way of life was very different from Theo's, so he left the group again.
In 1848 he thought for the first time about changing a human himself and thus creating a companion for himself. Being alone for 45 years had made him very lonely and even though he barely ever spend the night alone, it took its toll on the young vampire. In the winter of 1848, he was roaming the streets of London dressed as a poor man. He had already made a lot of money at this point by fraud and stealing, yet sometimes he preferred dressing like a hobo. Never before had anyway payed attention to him when he was dressed like that, until that one day. He as sitting in the snow, thinking about what to do with his immortal life (at this point he was slightly depressed) until a young, charming girl came up to him and offered him her coat. It was obvious that the girl herself wasn't the richest in town, so it struck Theo as odd that she would just give her coat to him. Before he could decline, she put it around his shoulders and walked away. From that day on, he started to follow her around. It turned out he was a poor servant girl of a rich merchant, and Theo had been right. He didn't want to be a creep, but he became kind of intrigued with her. Until she got hit by a coach. It had been in the middle of the night and the driver of the coach had dumped her in a alley, afraid that he would have to pay a doctor. Theo had found her lying there, not yet dead, but definitely dying. He fed her his blood, without thinking of it and then stayed by her side, until she died. He waited for several hours in the cold, until she started waking up and then, just before dawn, he left, just like his master had done. He didn't exactly know why he left, because he had intended for her to become his companion so he wouldn't be alone again. Except when she started waking up, he was terrified she would hate him and began to think about how he had felt after Egnatius had changed him, so he left the town and the country once again.
It wasn't until 1865, 17 years later, he met his subject again. In a bar where a lot of vampires often met, he heard about an old vampire and his subject, who owned a fortune and was challenging others to fight him in exchange of his entire fortune. Obviously Theo answered that challenge, since money was the only thing that still mattered in that age and he had nothing to loose anyway. If he died, so be it. They agreed to meet in an arena, with a live public of nearly 200 other vampires. Right before the fight started, noticed the old vampire's subject. A blond female vampire who he thought he'd never see again and who was most definitely not the old vampire's subject. Theo's subject. When the old vampire caught Theo gazing at the female vampire, he mocked him by saying that "my Cat will never be yours, even if you win" and then forced her to kiss him. This made Theo so angry that he won the fight and the money and told the female vampire, Cat, that he, not the creepy old dude, was her master. Of course Cat didn't believe him at first, but using the mental connection he convinced her. He got angry, obviously, acusing him of leaving her all alone after she turned and that it was his fault she ended up with the old vampire. Theo warned her that the outside world was a dangerous place for a vampire alone, but she didn't listen to him and they parted ways. For a few years, Cat lived alone, but Theo always knew what she was up to through a network of greedy vampires who'd love to earn some more money by just shadowing someone.
They met up after three or fours years, Theo can't really remember, as Cat went looking for him and agreed to become partners, rather than have an inevitably abusive master-subject relationship. They've been together ever since and moved to the States after Word War I, during the roaring twenties. Although they still traveled the world a lot after that, America kinda became their home.

Theo and Cat also own a club in The Scrabs, called No Sanctuary. The name refers to the multiple humans who enter and have no sanctuary from the vampires in the club.
Relationships †
• Master: Egnatius. He was a former Catholic monk and died in 1258. Five hundred years later Theo was the eleventh human he turned. After Theo became a vampire, Egnatius gave him a quick 'Vampire 101' and then left. To this day, Theo still doesn't know if Egnatius is still alive or his whereabouts, neither does he know if any of his 'vampire siblings' are still alive and even know of his existence. Though, a few decades ago he heard about a vampire called Egnatius who got murdered by a bunch of Hunters for raping and abusing Human women and men. It was also revealed that he had raped and abused many of his subjects.
• Subjects: Catherine Amelia Kingston. He often calls her Kittycat, Kitkat, Malutki/Malenstwo (Polish for "little"/"little thing") and almost never refers to her as Catherine, but rather as Cat. The only time he calls her Catherine is when he's extremely angry. He turned her in 1848 and she became his partner in 1865 until present. (see History) They can be called soulmates, but are not together-together, meaning they aren't in love with each other.
• Daelyn Orsay Willow: The two are huntingpartners and sexpartners. There's a mutual respect
• Fox Jonathan Francis Timaeus Ackerman: They obviously don't get along well, and not only because they are natural enemies, but also because Fox threatened Cat once and Theo still wants revenge.
• Obsidian Elladore Genefray: Every now and then Theo likes to challenge himself by hitting on a Hunter or a Werewolf. An example of this was Sid. The fact that she turned him down, didn't please Theo at all and even less that he now has her partner behind him. He's not the sort of guy to let a 'prey' go, though, so a meeting in the near future is assured.
