Tzuriel Alanthis
Appearance
Tzuriel is a fine looking specimen of a human adult. He is athletically fit and limber and appears very capable. Sometimes he grows out his beard which he would keep well trimmed and kept, though otherwise he's clean shaven. His eyes are blue, but sometimes in certain lighting they can appear a feral yellow. His perpetually intense expression and disposition is matched only by his love of fun, drink, and women. Not necessarily in that order. He is fair skinned and well groomed.
He dresses well, in fine clothes that only the money of a wealthy man could buy. But when he is on the road he dresses in functional dark travel clothes and probably some light leather armor.

Once Nocturnal: His eyesight is twice as good as it once was, especially in the dark. But the tradeoff is they sometimes turn yellow, or glow yellow in the dark.
Spatial Awareness: He is very agile and aware of where his body is in the world, able to perform amazing acrobatics and tumbling feats that would normally be attributed to acrobats and circus performers.
Iron Muscles: He is deceptively strong for his build and can hold his own in contests of strength. A small fraction of his inhuman strength still remains in his blood.
He does heal at a slightly faster rate from his prior affliction.

Thick Skinned: He is very durable and enduring under physical and verbal abuse. He can take a beating and he's not an emotional child.
Iron Gut: He can really hold his liquor.
Merchants Mind: Being keenly aware of mind magic and hypnotism, and the dangers of unwillingly revealing information due to such manipulations has caused him to build up a mental discipline that prevents any stealthy information gathering from going beyond his surface thoughts.

Lingering Fears: Sometimes he still flinches at the sunlight, fearing that it might burn him to ash if he steps into it.
Once Nocturnal: Bright lights are more dazzling to him now, the flash of a blade in the sun is now more likely to blind him for a few critical seconds if he's not prepared.

A Pretty Face: He is often too trusting of a pretty face, which lands him in trouble more often than not. (Personal)

Not the Face!: He can take a beating, but he could become distracted if his face gets marked or bruised.
Show Boating: When he sees himself winning a fight he tends start getting fancy in his sword work and do more tricks and use more flare to toy with his opponent, blinding him with overconfidence.

Personality
Tzuriel lives the high life. He parties, he drinks, he sleeps around, he fights, and in general gets into trouble. But he never does anything where someone could be seriously hurt or where the consequences become too steep.
Even in his dealings with women he always made sure they understood what he wanted, never forced himself on them, never left them guessing, and never left them with child.
He loves his lifestyle and doesn't want to be tied down... At least not yet.
He always has an intense look on his face. A look that intimidates many men and attracts even more women. He speaks very fluidly, like a fine oil that could sooth any bad wrinkle. He knows how to calm people down or to bait them into a fight.
High Life: He is very much drawn to social interaction and loves a good party. He can drink, he can dance, and he believes he can woo nearly any woman with his silver tongue.
Big Mouth: He speaks his mind... Usually at the wrong moment.
Merchant: He is eloquent, polite, and has the silver tongue of a man used to selling to the toughest customers.

Biography & Lore
Born into a wealthy merchant family Tzuriel never really wanted for anything... But that just made him want things all the more. Growing up he craved success. Seeing his parents and then his sister so successful drove him to be better than them, to build an even more impressive trade empire and finally get the recognition he so craved.
He could never stand his parents. Always trying to "raise him right" and for him to become a "good man". He felt stifled around them, especially when they spoke of their obscure "God" that wasn't worshipped in any established temple and never seemed to do anything, a "cult" was more like it. As soon as he was able he left and immediately took what he knew of the trade to quickly build for himself a substantial trade rout that brought him seriously good coin barring extreme circumstances.
He used his personal wealth to fund his selfish lifestyle. Going to parties and living the high life. But good things often happened for him at parties besides good drink and fun. The lavish parties were ways for him to become better connected and to meet people with even better opportunities. And so he went on to do this and live this way for years. Even up to now, a man with ships full of gold at his disposal. He was successful, and the only way he could see his life going is forever upward.
But even with his high lifestyle he never allowed himself to stagnate or to become fat and complacent. He trained often and hard, because he enjoys traveling with his caravans as opposed to sitting in an office or a luxurious mansion. In order to indulge in this privilege he had to train to become a proficient fighter so that he was prepared to handle the dangers of the road.
Over time he met an extraordinary woman who made her name by taking a seat on the merchant counsel... After a few business ventures he soon became enamored with her and she with him. They announced their engagement not long after they made their intentions known to one another.

Once Tzuriel attended a party hosted by a wealthy noble family called Nocterose. During that celebration he met the daughter of House Nocterose, Lenuta. They danced and shared a moment together before trouble struck. A kidnapping attempt was made in the garden maze on mansion grounds by a rival house. It was there in his attempt to rescue Lenuta that he learned that he had stepped into a world of vampires. And since then he has striven to make himself an asset to House Nocterose, to prevent any decisions of deeming him as a liability to the safety of their family secrets.
Many things happened still after that and eventually he was allowed to become a creature of the night himself, thus solidifying his safety in their eyes and permitting him the gifts and weaknesses allowed by his new abilities. A cure for his condition was continuously at the back of his mind, but at this point he was far from boring of the immortality he possessed.
Many things happened during his time as a vampire, he spent two years learning about the scions of the night but eventually he had his fill of immortality, found it wasn't quite what it was cracked up to be. It took him another year but he found someone who was able to cure him of vampirism. The process was evil and difficult to stomach. It worked, but certain things still linger within him, his blood forever tainted by the affliction.
