Rowan Blair (Patreon)

Rowan was born and raised in NY in a humble neighborhood at Queens. Their mom and dad were simple people, very loving parents, but they could never understand what Rowan was going through at that time. He moved to Manhattan to live among people like himself. To participate in the counterculture, the gigs, the bdsm clubs, the gay bars. Those were the best days and the best nights. Party, and freedom, and love. He moved to a simple apartment that he shared with friends, his new family, people like him who understood and loved him for who he was. He went from job to job until he could afford a camera. He dreamed about being a famous photographer, a famous artist. As soon as he started to shoot, his work took a turn to more dark themes. He loved smut, fetish and shock value pieces. He liked to approach man at the streets and asked them to model for him. His work called the attention of Henry, a rich handsome and mysterious man who started to give Rowan expensive gifts and show him to the world of galleries and introduced him to wealthy clients who loved exotic pictures. Henry eventually bought him a studio in the heart of Manhattan, and Rowan drift away from his loved ones... Until his friends started to get sick. The AIDS outbreak began. Henry revealed his true vampiric nature to Rowan and embraced him in fear that the same could happen to him. Rowan wanted to help. The medic community and the media weren't doing anything. Rowan thought that they should help somehow. Henry had power and money. But Henry wasn't interested in helping anyone. That drove Rowan away from him. The resentment between them only grew with time. Now Rowan is a young neonite who has to fend for himself in the dangerous place that is the Camarilla.
