Either a wife who died, or a mistake from 'hellraiser' days for which he's now atoning. Either one comes with the possibility of projected angst in daughter's direction.Well, with super-science on the table, it's always possible someone was trying to make their own Slayer, getting all peanut butter cup with their mysticism and gene-splicing.  I mean, Slayers heal quick, but bleed often; no telling who might have samples.On my own character:* I figured the 'gang' would probably know Gavin's secret, but he wouldn't be especially keen on giving details of his 'gift' to strangers. I'm not sure if that requires a Secret or not? I think I have a line on Angel rulebook, but haven't as of yet looked at any rules.* On demon-blood-feeding: I thought perhaps this might actually be part of the 'gathering of folk' backstory:1) Gavin recognized Rechard's oddity, and wound up approaching him thinking they had something in common. Gavin has a tendency to want to find a place where he fits, which gets him in some trouble when he's too trusting. This would be no exception. He wound up in a situation where he was either going to be Rechard's next meal, or he could help him track down tastier fare. Gavin quite sensibly chose the latter, though he's always a bit tense when Rechard's stomach growls. 2) On the less ruthless track, Gavin's 'pain sense' kicked off when he took Rechard's class at a point when the professor had gone far too long without demon blood. I would assume the oncoming loss of immortality would hurt, myself; it's a whole lot of dying having been staved off and on its way back all at once. In any case, Gavin actually offered some of his own blood to help stabilize the immortal, and the two have grown friendly in the wake of the incident.</blockquote>
