okay so. w the next Innistrad sets coming out next year I figured that I should kinda make a "contingency plan" for if one of Chiara's s/os, Odric and Thalia, dies/something else happens to them. I'll still be shipping Chiara with them, but I also hand crafted her a Brand New Boyfriend for her lore!
Percy Bancroft · WB · Pre-Mending
Percy was born a little over a one and half thousand years ago on Innistrad. Though he worshipped Avacyn, Percy was especially devoted to Liesa, whom his family had historically venerated. He became a cathar in her name and wielded life/death magic to battle enemies of the innocent.
However, he was captured by Voldaren-line vampires and forced to participate in the Court Of The Vampire King "holiday." Yet rather than being killed, Percy was forcefully turned, causing him to spark.
Percy wandered the Multiverse, seeking a cure for his vampiric curse, but found none. He resigned himself to becoming a creature of the night but fights for the innocent; his advanced strength, speed, and stamina combined with his power over life and death magic allows him to throw himself into any fight with little to no consequence. As an Oldwalker, Percy is less powerful now than he was 60 years ago, but he is still a formidable foe.
Percy resided on Fiora for several hundred years, using it as a base of sorts for his activities in the Multiverse. He made his home in the mountains, at the edge of the vast wilderness.
He meets Chiara when she returns to Fiora to tie up loose ends -- i.e., murder her abusive former master, Brother Ampelio d'Pastore. Ampelio fled the High City upon Chiara's return, and as Chiara tracked him, she met Percy at a marketplace. They immediately hit it off, and when she explained her goal, Percy joined her; he'd learned of his former church's fall, and was already not fond of the Custodi.
Percy and Chiara hunted the zombified Ampelio and cornered him after he returned to his estate in the High City. Chiara killed her former master and freed the spirits he'd used and tormented for so long -- among them, her father, whom Chiara had assumed abandoned and hated her.
Following this, Olympia Bellamy contacted Chiara, asking for her help. Chiara asked Percy to come with her, and he agreed. The two formed an even closer bond and fell in love with each other.
