HISTORY
Personality: Bryan is sarcastic, coy, and independent. He tends to come off as aloof and arrogant, which to his amused surprise, tends to make humans all the more curious and interested. This, coupled with his instinctive tendency to flirt with most anyone, regardless of his actual interest in them, make him seem alluring and charismatic, even when he doesn't try to be. He is cold, calculating, and manipulative, even when dealing with his own kind at times. He knows that most people will eventually come around to his way of thinking, and those that don't typically don't last very long, so he tends to do what he wants, when he wants without concern for consequences. He generally dislikes humans, though there are a few in whom he has begun to take a sadistic interest, and he has started to explore those possibilities his family has reveled in for centuries.

Sexual Preferences: Any of it. All of it. Why limit oneself? Surprising to some people, Bryan had never actually had sex with a human until quite recently. He considered it to be beneath him (and still does in most cases) and cannot understand how his sister can stomach it regularly. Being who he is, of course, he regularly managed to invoke repressed, sensual feelings in those around him, teasing and torturing mortals with a look or a touch and eventually pushing them over the edge, if he's feeling generous. Though he would never have admitted it at one point, evenings in nightclubs and bars (where his sister would usually drag him) used to be a sort of recreational reprieve for him, but now he has opened his own den of iniquity and thrives in the environment. He has been known to play with strippers or peel off his own shirt and hit the dancefloor in other bars and with the crowd into a frenzy before sending then out in the the night to make poor decisions they will regret later. In his own Lounge, however, he prefers a more subtle approach, hunting his prey patiently and providing his family a space to do the same.

Employment (Employed/Unemployed/Employee at Setanna etc.): Formerly the Co-Director of Setanna Marketing (shared with his twin sister, Sitri), Currently the owner of the Crossroads Lounge.

About Your character: Belphegor, or Bryan as most know him, is a sort of foil to his twin sister, Sitri. Where she is bold and extravagant, Bryan is distant and mysterious. Where everyone from Setanna knows Sitri and can hear or feel her coming, there are people in the family business who never actually saw Bryan in his time with the company, and those who did knew little about him.

Bryan used to be the unrecognized golden child of the family when he worked for Setanna. His loyalty to his family was steadfast, and he split most of his time between taking care of the company and keeping an eye on Sitri to try to keep her from getting into too much trouble. He was quick to follow orders not only from Lucien, but from his mother Salomé (whom he worshipped), his uncle Julian (who he views as a father figure), and Azrael, who despite not being a demon, Bryan considers part of the family. After a sharp betrayal by his mother, Bryan found himself cast adrift for a short time, and left the company, eventually starting his own business as a sort of playground for his own interests as well as those of his kind. His relationship with Salomé and with Sitri suffered for a time but both have largely evened out now. He still adores his Uncle Julian and has come to see Azrael as a sort of unofficial mentor.

His attitude towards humans is dismissive and condescending, with rare exceptions for those he finds useful. Those exceptions seem to be popping up more frequently lately, but Bryan's attitude towards most of humanity is uncaring at best.
