Evolutions
It's amazing the things a man can accomplish...
...when he is but given the time in which to do them. I was born late in the year of 1431, as the ground lay frozen and winter held the land in it's icy grip.
My life was turbulent. At the age of thirteen, my younger brother of some four years my junior, and I were given over as political hostages by our father, to the Ottomans. My brother fared far better than I by embracing our captors and even earned the friendship of the Sultan's son. I on the other hand, had more of a rebellious streak and suffered for it.
​
Despite it all, I was well educated in logic, the Quran, and the Turkish language, which I became fluent in, and works of literature. I and my brother were also trained in warfare and horsemanship. Prior to our captivity we were well-educated by Romanian and Greek scholars commissioned from Constantinople. We learned combat skills, geography, mathematics, science, languages (Old Church Slavonic, German, Latin), and the classical arts and philosophy.
Later, I raised some six thousand horsemen to aid my cousin, as military assistance against Petru Aron of Moldavia, who was deposed after two battles. During the following crusades, I often matched wits against my brother.
That was only the beginning. Since then I have been called cruel, ruthless, bloodthirsty. These descriptors are not in error, despite the exagerations and outright lies telling of my deeds.
That was one lifetime.
I have since lived many. And each time, those who wrong me, meet a very decided fate.
Present.
I'm a simple man. Entrepreneur. Philanthropist. If someone were to look into Sean Michael Francis Speire, they would find that I was born in the Maplewood Township of Newark, New Jersey to Irish parents John Speire and Mary O'Reilly on the 27th of July, 1977. They would also find that I graduated Columbia High School in 1995, top of my class. I matriculated from Princeton University and earned degrees in engineering and natural sciences.
Currently I reside, primarily, in New Jersey. I enjoy it. I'm close to the pulse points of a nation, and that suits me fine. I live simply, although richly. I live like any other man, and have for centuries. I am very adept at blending in. Those who like to speak out of turn about things best left in shadow will often find themselves with a very, short, lifespan.
