Biography:
Victor Blood was my name as a bluepill. My life was one lived a step removed from the rest of the press of humanity. I would spend hours at local hot spots, standing to the side, watching the tides of fortune. I would analyze what brought men to fortune and to ruin in those clubs and on those street corners.
