  • Stayed with his girlfriend
  • Became part of a special ops team
  • Sent to Vietnam early in the war
  • Proposed to his lady the night before he left
  • She accepted
  • He left for the Vietnam war
  • Lots of successful operations
  • Then, one operation went wrong...
  • Whole team was killed, he was shot and bleeding to death
  • Just as the world started to fade, a young woman appeared and bit him
  • He woke up later, and she was still there. And he was a vampire...
  • To this day, he still has that bullet wound
  • The Army declared him MIA
  • His sire, the young woman, stayed with him and traveled with him for a long time
  • She had been a priestess in medieval times
  • She taught him great control over himself and the beast now within him
  • Her teachings meshed well with the self-discipline he had learned in the armed forces
  • After traveling for about a decade, they came back to his hometown
  • His girlfriend was still there -- with her 9-year-old daughter
  • She was still wearing the ring he gave her on a gold chain around her neck
  • Their daughter was a beautiful young girl
  • He stayed a near them for a few years, working to come to terms with himself and his feelings
  • During this time, their daughter started to have some odd problems as she grew up
  • One night, he heard howling echoing through the woods
  • He knew there was no pack in his woods
  • He followed the sound, and found a clearing with a young wolf
  • Her eyes closed and as she fell asleep, her form flowed back to that of his daughter
  • He held her into the night, and a few hours before dawn, she awoke
  • She recognized him from her mother's pictures
  • He told her everything would be okay, and that he would be out in this clearing again the next night
  • Any night he heard her howling, he would find her
  • He helped her through the Change, and to cope with her new self
  • She discovered that her great-grandfather knew of an ancestor who suffered the same "affliction"
  • After a while, her mom found out
  • She brought her mother one night to see Ken
  • Ken hoped to set her (the mom) free from him finally. Asked her to go ahead and live her life, as he could no longer join her
  • Promised to keep an eye on (their daughter) for as long as he could
  • Traveled on and off, but came back every few weeks to spend at least a month in his woods, watching out for them
  • Early in this time, he scouted a couple of the closest werewolf packs he could find
  • He told (the daughter) about them so she could choose one to go to for better guidance
  • He cut back on his visits after she graduated from college
  • Still, he continues to visit her every now and then, even though she is quite grown up
  • He can occasionally slink through her territory in wolf form to visit her
