Psychology
Witty * Stubborn * Charming * Trigger-happy
Sexuality: Pansexual
Relationship Status: Widower, Now Engaged
Personality: Fell in love with the girl next door, who was two years his younger, and has stayed loyal to her throughout their 220 year marriage. He turned her once she reached the same age as he did at the age of 28. He stands up for the little person in all fights and now leads the House of Chronos along with his advisers.
Given the extended length of his relationship with his wife, his quirks are ever present in his day to day life and you will never see the ‘man’ without his cane, more befitting of the era he grew up in than the one he is now living in. His dress sense also comes from an earlier era and is considered one of the best, as he is often seen in 1920s apparel.
His stubbornness can at times cause friction among the leadership ranks and there are those that would see him ‘removed’, although his charm and wit save most of the blushes, there is sometimes a need for the adrenaline junky at heart to use that trigger-happy finger and kill a few people, which he is of course not adverse too.

History
Opinions On the World Order: Can not really believe that vampires triumphed in the way they did, but is very grateful of the outcome, as it lead to his rise through the House of Chronos eventually ending with him as leader. Has a general dislike of anything that is not a vampire, whether it be wolf, human or something else.
Has recently been trying to break deals with the House of Grey that go unheard as they see the House of Chronos as their main threat. Has also been trying to broker a deal of union to unite all vampires under one banner to defeat the wolves, humans and hybrids once and for all. Does not agree with the methods used by the House of Grey and does not agree with their enslavement of the wolves and humans.
Agrees with the House of Grey on the sole point of vampire dominance, other than this he is opposed to them in almost all ways.
Family History The Woodley family is one steeped in history, not all of it good. There are a couple of disgraced members who were pirates in the 1700s and then some that were on the wrong side of the English Civil War and only escaped with there lives. Given the tumultuous past of this family, the relative normality seen in the later 1800s and into the 1900s is rather strange for this, some would say, doomed family.
Character Specific History Born into a mildly wealthy family Cyprian Woodley found love in the early years of his life in the shape of his now deceased wife Scarlet. He was an extremely valued child as his parents had had three stillborn children before him. His parents moved north to Manchester and away from London when Cyprian was five years old. His father, a banker left all of this amassed wealth to his sole child, leaving his wife destitute and in an work house, she died at the age of 60, twenty years after her husband.
Cyprian and Scarlet had two children Rebecca and Erin, both daughters, who were turned by their father once they had reached adulthood and were trained and groomed for leadership in preparation to rule the House of Chronos alongside their father. This plan was scuppered when Erin was ambushed and assassinated by a group of werewolves and humans looking to break the reign of the vampires, this provided the drive her father needed to send out extermination teams to 'deal with' both sects. Rebecca rose through the ranks of the house and is now Cyprian's second in command.
