Back To Front
Rafael was born the son of a influential elven warrior and a human female.  His life would not be all happy and glad however, as soon after his birth his father was killed in battle and the elven nobles would not acknowledge him as his parents were never married and he was therefore illegitamate.  So he was raised in a run down shack in a town far far away from his birth, as they were exiled.

This would only be the first life changing event in his life, and surely wouldn't be the last.  When he was 12, his mother caught a feaver and in a matter of weeks she was gone too leaving him an orphan in a world of fight for what you need.  Instead of allowing himself to be put into an orphanage, he continued to live off the street.  Fighting, lying, stealing, even killing for what he desired.  A rough life to say the least.

Barely into adulthood, this became not enough to keep him alive.  So with some reluctance, he took a job offer as a male prostitute.  His size kept the women coming in high numbers, as did his tenderness, politeness and refusal to disrespect women.  Because of the high profit, he was kept in this profession for several years.  Until one night it all changed.













He had gotten into a bar fight and was too drunk to even stand up straight.  He wandered into an alley way to relieve himself and was met by two demons who wished him dead.  The fight was a brutal one, but he managed to hold his own.  Which caught the attention of their sire, one Asher Kincaid.  Kincaid had a young chylde in need of a bodyguard and Raf fit the part.  So he spared Raf his life, and as a result Rafael Grant became a servant and property of Asher Kincaid.

After year of alterations of which he has no idea on, he was put to work as the personal bodyguard to Roslynn McKinnely, the first chylde of Asher Kincaid and heir to the Executioner throne.  She was a spoiled brat, but within moments of seeing her he was absoulutely taken by her and even tho she drove him up the wall the felling never went away.  The day he was assigned, she was sent to war and for over 12 years they fought hard side by side.










He never spoke once in the first 12 years of being her bodyguard, that all changed the night they returned from war.  The battle won, there was a huge feast and as he was severely injured she insisted on feeding him.  For this he was severely punished and returned to her within 20 minutes.  Upon return to her quarters, he helped her clense a wound on her back then walked with her out onto the veranda.  It was there he spoke for the first time, after a brief fight they began a love affair.

This would last only one night before he would be torn from her side for 4 months for direct disobediance, as he told her about his beating.  Over those 4 months he was beaten, tortured, burned, sleep deprived and when he was finally returned to her he was in a terrible state.  Wounds infected beyond all belief, especially one that crossed his gut that she was unable to heal with her magery.  They left Kincaids home that day and soon his wound would nearly kill him but he survived through love and the tender attentions of Roslynn.

Their love affair would last 256 years, during which there would be dozens of wars and countless changes.  Until one fatefull night, there was a fight between them about a woman who had flirted with him.  Of course he turned the woman down but was a bit too charming while doing it, and Roslynn was upset.  They argued long and Roslynn stormed off leaving him alone in their large home.  Upset and hurt he got severely drunk, and as a result, the woman who made advances towards him was able to get the better of him and remove him from the house at gun point. 










He was taken to an abandon highway and shot 6 times and left for dead, but Roslynn only knew what the neighbors had seen and that was Raf leaving the house with a woman walking very close.  Thinking Raf had left her, Roslynn collected most of her things and left to start anew.  Taking their unborn son with her.

He laid in a coma for 5 years before he awoke to find he had little memory.  He knew his name and remembered Roslynn and their life together but that was all.  He was also paralyzed and spent the next 7 years in the hospital in severe rehabilitation.  He had to relearn everything and when he was released, he started a job at a video store, closed up their homes after storing everything of value so it wouldn't damage, and started searching for Roslynn.

Three years later, he had all but given up his search for her.  All leads led to dead ends and lost hope.  Then one day he recieved a letter from her in appearance asking him to meet her.  Overjoyed, he quit his job and went without question.  When he got there, he found her cold and bitter towards him, she was also getting married.  With heavy heart he got a room for a few days.  He was shocked to find a few days later that it was all a rouge, at least the wedding was.  She came to his room, and after a brief discussion they began a second love affair, secret until several weeks later when they had another fight.








She stormed off and thinking he lost her, he shot himself.  Roslynn, in a state of distress, ressurected him without question.  The sheer heat of the act melting every peice of metal from her body, including a ring that with it's distruction also killed her husband Agarwaen Mormakil. 
Now a widdow, they were free to pursue their relationship publically.  Unfortunately, with that came attention from her sire Asher Kincaid.  He attempted to kill them both and in effort to save her, Rafael managed to kill her sire and in turn became lord of the executioner throne.  Uncomfortable with sitting in authority over Roslynn, he bestowed upon her authority over him and that was that so to speak.

They were soon engaged and welcomed the birth of their second son Rafael Jr aswell as meeting his oldest son Ronin.  Life is rather grand for Rafael and Roslynn, they're wedding was a quick one in Vegas and Rafael believes they are in this for the long haul and this makes him happier than any shall ever know.
