Character Information

Card Shark. Ladies man. Warrior. Spades has been around the Mid-Atlantic "block" for a while. He's rarely seen without a deck of cards in his hands or a woman by his side. In late 2002, he charmed his way into the court of Philadelphia from London and was quickly made primogen for the Children of Haqim and then worked his way from Scourge to Sheriff. During his time in Philly, Spades wooed the women and made political moves to give future Children of Haqim respect in the city.

Around 2005, Spades moved to Baltimore to help the city politically and with it's Sabbat problems. After a year, he went underground for reasons known only to him. In the late summer of 2010, he resurfaced back in Baltimore claiming he spent his time catching up on the Harry Potter books. No one believed that and chalked it up to Spades being his usual wise-ass self. Then again, no one has ever asked the real reasons why he disappeared. Now, he's looking to pick up where he left off.
