HISTORY:
The Past -
Doyle was one of Chicago’s finest
doctors: handsome, brilliant, and easygoing. A charming man leading a charmed
life. Oh, there were a few problems with the hospital administration, but when
you’re right most of the time, that’s bound to happen. This all came to an end
with bad night on an emergency room shift with a badly injured shifter, and a
subsequent clash with Daemon, the Clan’s former King, who revealed his
‘secret’ out after Doyle refused to be his lackey. Of course having a werewolf
on staff wouldn’t have looked too good for the hospital. Thanks to the
Preternatural Act, the administrators at the hospital were forced to ease him
out of the medical community with sanctions and patient restrictions. Few
could withstand these dual pressures, Doyle managed them as many with easy
access to pharmaceuticals do. A chance encounter in the hospital pharmacy and
the medical community was done with him, as he was with them.
Doyle can still occasionally be found helping Sabrina fix-up the shapeshifters,
so they won't compromise their identities to the public. While Doyle would
never let it on, he hasn’t forgotten those who took away his life, as Daemon
and his former supervisors found out.
On the surface, Doyle is humorous, good-natured, and easygoing, quick with a
tension-releasing joke or a barb. He helps keep the edge off of Lucien and
keep everything balanced. He was, and is, one of those individuals completely
without ambition or any interest in what others think of him, savoring the
sensations and events of life, but not deeply affected by it. However, beneath
that exterior is no small passion, anger, and resentment. With energies
focused from medicine to his clan, Doyle quickly rose to the position of
Lucien’s Freki or Second in Command and his sometime Enforcer, a position that occasionally allows
him an official reason to even the score for a past of rough treatment.
However, things have become increasingly complex. No man can serve two
masters, but his deep bond with Lucian, a 10 year friendship which started
with the deposition of the former king, will eventually conflict with his role
as Gia’s animal. He’s rationalized the latter since they’ve been an on-again,
off-again couple, which has allowed both he and Gia to rationalize and hide
the true power she has over him. He knows her heart well enough to care for
her deeply, but is not comfortable enough with the vulnerability showing that
would expose. He is also very close to Grace and treats her like a little
sister.
Doyle is completely uninterested in politics, but at some point will have to
make a stand: Lucien’s will eventually move to overthrow the control of the
Noblesse, and Doyle will have to choose between the two. Lucien has taken care
to ensure that, other than respect, Doyle has no formal power base within the
shifters, not allowing him to form his own pack. However, the less-idealistic
of the younger, hot-blooded shifters naturally gravitate to Doyle’s charm.
Charged by Lucien with keeping an eye on his more stuffy and dour peers, Doyle
knows he will eventually have to deal with Keil. Finally, with the coming
storm threatening all of mankind, the same man who once took an oath to
protect all life and do no harm will have to decide if those that betrayed and
now fear him deserve his help.
