P E R S O N A L I T Y?? Moretti is a bit unusual for the "normal" Elder vampire. Instead of being cultured and scheming, he is simple, and likes to get his hands dirty, becoming involved in things himself. Despite this, he's also quite lazy, and won't get involved unless he is asked to by someone on the same level as him (another Elder vampire, The Shadow), or it is personal. He's less an aristocrat and more of a punk, albeit a punk with a large amount of power. Lastly, when its personal, it's personal. When Moretti wants vengeance, he will take vengeance to an immense degree, to hell with who else gets hurt, as evidenced by his choice of getting revenge against England...
A P P E A R A N C E?? Moretti looks to be in his mid-20's, a young adult. He is pale, has red eyes, and long black hair. He has no facial hair, and is slim, so he's quite androgynous, and could easily pass for a women, if not for his choice in clothing. He tends to wear simple clothes, usually his plain, open white jacket, and his black pants. Unlike most other vampire lords and Elders, he tends to go for the simple over the fancy.

E L E M E N T OR A B I L I T Y??
Lightning: Has the elemental ability to control, create, and manipulate lightning and electrical energy.
Blood Control: Moretti has complete control of his own blood, allowing him to hyper-densify it, after shaping it into blades, a shield, or other such things. It can also be hyper-densified inside his veins, creating a sort of internal "armor" running throughout his body. Obviously, this makes him extremely difficult to cut or stab when in use. While it is very difficult to break through this armor, it is possible. This power is helped along by having an unreasonably large amount of blood in his body. He is actually capable of forming his blood into wings and flying.
Vampire Body: As he is a vampire, he gets all of the physical ability's that come with this; Enhanced sense's, superhuman speed and strength, quick healing, and a narcotic saliva to aid in feeding. His saliva is absorbed through the skin, and then causes stimulation of the pleasure centers of the brain, and paralyzes the body. It is highly addictive. It also acts as n anticoagulant, keeping blood flowing while it is being drunk, while at the same time stimulating healing and regeneration, meaning the wound heals quite quickly after the vampire in question is removed.
W E A P O N S??
Throwing Knives: Knives. Made to be thrown. Has 30 of these on his person. He is extremely skilled at throwing them, throwing them with extreme speed and precision. He should, since he's had over 700 years to practice. While made for throwing specifically, they can, technically, be used in close combat, but they're design isn't suited for that. As you can see they have no true handle, and the blade is larger than the "handle", making it streamlined for moving through the air silently, but extremely poor for use in stabbing the opponent in close range. As they are made entirely of metal, and are simply painted black, Moretti can charge them with electricity before throwing them to deliver a shock upon impact.
Utility Knife: A plain black utility/fighting knife. The blade is made of high density carbon, so it can cut quite effectively and can withstand large amounts of force, but it is not a conductor, so electricity can not be used in combination with it. This knife is Moretti's favorite tool and weapon. He uses it with similar speed and precision to his throwing knives, weaving around his opponents guard and dealing fatal blows. It is also used to allow him to use his Blood Control as an offensive weapon if he hasn't been attacked with a blade yet, using it to cut himself and open a wound for blood to flow out of, instead of simply having it burst out and create an unnecessarily large opening.

H I S T O R Y?? Moretti was born in the year of 1266, a young boy growing up as a peasant in Europe at the time, specifically England. At the time, he was simply a worker, doing the small jobs, cleaning up after the animals, as young child were supposed to do at the time, but at the age of 6, he made friends, with a knight, someone who was a man then, but would be considered a teenager today. This knight thought that "small boys should wield small blades", and gave the boy a dagger, telling him to keep it hidden so he could stay safe. The young, happy boy agreed, and the knight started teaching the boy how to throw it and use it.
Two years later, when Moretti was 8, his knight friend was called away on a particular mission. One more dangerous and important to the Roman Catholic Church than almost any before it. Moretti's friend told him that when he returned, he would be greatly respected, just like all the other knights who were going. And so many were going! Knights of kinds, legionnaires, dragoons, and soldiers were all leaving to fight.
He never returned from the "holy" Crusades he had been sent on, dying in the war attempt to reclaim Jerusalem from the Muslims. The boy that had been left behind, the child who just wanted to see his friend again, didn't learn for quite a long while. He simply did his chores, practiced throwing his knife at a tree in the few small amounts of free time he got, and waited his friends return. It wasn't until about 2 months after the end of the Crusades, when all the knights, legionnaires, dragoons, and other soldiers who had survived were arriving back, that the poor boy left behind, now of 11 years old, broke.
He became much like any other peasant. Working at all times, never gaining much in life, simply giving absolutely everything he had to lords, lady's and royalty who simply did not care about him. The only one who had cared about him had died, sacrificed for the Church's petty Crusades to gain their "Holy Land". It wasn't until about the age of 23 that his life changed from dull drudgery of peasant's, to something else. In the year 1289...
A vampire by the name of Lily Faust came to the small Feudal territory that Moretti lived in, bringing in a troop of fledgelings and Adepts with her. This old Elder had decided that she was going to have fun here, where news generally didn't travel fast, and had every single person in the town killed by draining.
Now, going off of Moretti's history for a moment, one must remember how vampires reproduce. It is more than simply being bitter, or even drained to death. No, after being almost completely drained, to convert a victim, said victim must ingest a vampires blood before dying. Also, because of the potency of a vampires saliva and its effects, usually the victim doesn't fight back, so the vampire generally has to choose that this person become one.
Back on track. When the the vampires had reached the small cottage where Moretti and a great majority of the other peasant workers were living together, almost immediately they were all set upon by the flock of vampires. Almost all of them immediately went under. Not Moretti. He had just a bit of glory hound in him, rage and and a lust for revenge, waiting to be unleashed. The vampires were it. The normal narcotic of the vampire's saliva simply wasn't enough to restrain the now unleashed anger of the young boy, now grown man, who simply had never gotten over it.
When the vampire bit, Moretti bit back. Hard. However, he was still drained, as the vampire didn't really care about a wound as trivial as a bite from a human. The fact remained that Moretti had swallowed some of that blood, and had become a vampire after that flock had left.
Alone, the Fledgling vampire wandered, reacting on hunger and instinct when a human crossed his path, his body desperate to get some food. It was a quite a while before he came across another vampire to explain just what had happened. What he was, his abilities, and what he could potentially have.
At this point, Moretti had decided to use those gifts for revenge for his old friend, revenge against not any one particular person, but against everyone. Against the Church, against England, against all of Europe. Everyone who had even remotely benefited from the Crusades was a target for the developing Fledgling's rage. But it wasn't enough. It was never enough.
There was a massive amount of negative energy in the Fledgling's heart enough to draw the attention of a Fallen Angel by the name of Ociel, who decided to make a deal with him in order to help both the corruption that Fallen Angels serve and would get the vampire his revenge at the same time. Moretti agreed without a second thought, and by combining some of his vampiric blood with a Fallen Angel's powers of Corruption, Decay, and Death to create a monstrous disease that would ravenge and kill a good portion of Europe. It's name?
The Black Death.
Having used the disease to kill 1/3 of Europe, Moretti finally stopped rampaging, satisfied with the massive loss of life that he had caused. The vampire finally began to settle down, to stop single-handedly destroying absolutely everything he could, developing into an Adept.
Word eventually got out in the supernatural community, that a Fledgling had caused such extreme destruction and mass death, but not who it was, allowing the vampire to develop as an Adept in peace. These years were surprisingly peaceful on his side. Well, not so much "peaceful" as "not-killing-everyone-in-the-continent" but after killing 450 million people, you'll take what you can get. Of course, while that time was the height of his destruction, The Black Death, or Bubonic Plague, is still in existence, and still killing.
Eventually, that adept became eligible for being an Elder... and he met Lily Faust again. A vampire now at least 1400 years old, having been n Elder long enough for someone who had been a Fledgling while she was still an Elder, to have become an Elder himself. She was most likely the most immensely old vampire to have ever existed.
Moretti tore her apart with his bare hands, and claimed her position for himself, instantly cementing himself as one of the most feared vampires in the world.
