Jacob Cromwell was born to Layla and James Cromwell February 5th of 1993. Born and raised in the deep south, in the home of his family line in New Orleans, Louisiana. Jacob like his parents is a pureblood witch, his powers based in blood and the ability to conjure. Jacob is a intelligent young man with a sarcastic wit. He grew up being heavily trained in witchcraft by his mother and grandmother. He is the heir to the Cromwell line and the only male Cromwell child of this generation. Up until two years ago he spent most of his time as most young men do. When he wasn't training and learning, he was partying up and down the french quarter in New Orleans.
Sadly, two years ago Jacob's life changed forever. War was declared between the local wolf pack in the quarter and his family's coven. In a single night the entire pack in the quarter had over run Jacob's family home and rained blood down on its occupants. His parents, grandmother and three sisters had been killed that night. Jacob's entire family was wiped out save himself and his elder sister Jasmine. Soon after that devastating event both himself and his sister fled the quarter. Jacob would never forget the look of glee on the Alpha's face as he ripped out Layla Cromwell's throat and rid the quarter of one of its most powerful witches. Without the intervention of his elder sister both of the Cromwell siblings would have died that night.
Halfway north Jacob and his sister had a falling out and the pair separated. Grief was all that he had left at that point. He had found what solace he could in the bottom of bottle, or the bottom of a plastic baggy. Now on his own the young man continued to flee north until eventually reaching Cleveland, Ohio. From one major city to another he had fled until finally deciding to make Cleveland his new home. He has now been in the city just over a year. Having rented a small house and found employment at a local bar called the Purgatory. Now, who knows what the future holds for him? Hope? Or simply more despair and desperation?
