Character Information
Character Name: Antonio Vega
Series: Original
Canon Point: Just after the bombing in the Lincoln Center subway terminal

Background: World Background
  • Born in 1467; family was often seen as strange but his father's architectural genius and generous contributions to the church mostly saved them from scrutiny.
  • In 1492, one evening his father didn't return and his mother combs the city for him, returning home shortly before dawn; that's when the mob arrived. She bade Antonio to hide, which he did. He watched from his hiding place as his mother was dragged out into the rising sun, and he watched her throes of death as the poison of sunlight tore through her. He eluded the mob in a hidden chamber below their floor and escaped the following night from the wreckage after the mob burned the only home he'd ever known to the ground
  • He fled Madrid over the proceeding months, under cover of darkness, taking shelter in caves, crypts, and giving humanity the monster they believed him to be along the way, never staying long enough in one place to raise suspicion.
  • He avoided towns for the most part, but when he reached the City of Venice, his life was changed forever. He met a man named Leonardo, a gifted anatomist, mathematician, sculptor, and painter. He befriended the lost and lonely Antonio almost immediately, fascinated with his very nature. He learned many invaluable lessons from Leonardo: how to hide one’s actions in plain sight, how angles can be convinced to work with rather than against gravity to create structures that seem to defy gravity. Leonardo’s most important lesson, though, was that, regardless of the evils that plague all of society, there existed, still, genuinely good people, and good friends. Leonardo reawakened Antonio’s faith in humanity.
  • After the death of Leonardo da Vinci, Antonio spent the next 490 years staying below the radar. He hired actors, using funds from the fortune his father’s supposed death had caused him, to play himself during daylight hours, allowing him to work as an architect, and gain quite a bit of renown, under various pseudonyms, throughout the centuries. He has spent time in China, France, India, England, Scotland, and Japan, and is nearly fluent in all the languages spoken in those parts. After the American Revolution, he relocated to the newly created United States, drawn by the land of promise just like so many immigrants. A new country needed buildings, he reasoned, and he wasn’t mistaken. Since, he has lived in New Amsterdam, which has sense been renamed New York, getting lost in the constant stream of newcomers.
  • He was taking the late train home after feeding when the bombing occurred.
