Jake Thornton - Tremere Ghoul

Background | Allies | City

“Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.”

Unknown

Jake Thornton was a jock in high school, playing football mostly and some baseball. He wasn't the brightest crayon in the bunch, and his mild stutter didn't help much, but he still managed to find plenty of girlfriends.

Jake went right into the army after graduation, and spent 8 years there, 4 in America, and 4 abroad doing peacekeeping work, where he learned Russian and German fluently. He was married for a while, but his wife didn't like the long absences, and they parted amicably.

Once back home, Jake went to college for several years before losing interest. He'd worked as a rent-a-cop to put himself through school, and though he wasn't totally thrilled with the job, it paid the bills.

One night Jake was shot by a crack-head while on duty. During his recuperation, he traveled the East Coast, and came across an old Army buddy, James Price. While James didn't remember Jake, he was willing to make Jake an offer he couldn't refuse.
