James Bishop

== Early Life ==
James Bishop was an Englishman born in 1431. He was turned into a vampire in 1472 and followed his maker to the thirteen colonies where he turned Aidan Waite and Marcus Damnian during the American Revolution. 
During the 1950's he fell in love with a human but this was short lived thanks to elder vampires who gave him an ultimatum: kill his love and lead Boston's vampire coven, or leave to live with her. Aidan was for Bishop taking Boston, and this caused hard feelings between them, but in the end, Bishop chose to kill her.
Aidan fell in love on his own, but because Bishop couldn't have his love, he didn't want Aidan running away to be with his lover. Aidan wouldn't rejoin Bishop until he made a deal with him in 2011 to save one of his werewolf roommates.
== A Wonderful "Normal" Life ==
Raven Lily Potter was born in Godric's Hollow in 1981 not long before Voldemort went to kill her neglectful parents. She was suffering at the hands of her biological parents, James and Lily Potter who hid her away because of her very powerful magic that showed when she was barely a month old. 
James Bishop saw this as an opportunity: He could turn the young girl into a vampire, let her live, and when she was old enough she could join his coven in Boston and he'd have a powerful with whom he could turn the tides of his own affairs in Boston. He turned Raven and took her with him back to Boston. 
Bishop homeschooled Raven when she was of school age with the goal of teaching her how to control her vampiric hunger until she was old enough to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Unlike James and Lily Potter, he didn't fear her magic and only saw it as an advantage to not only himself, but the Boston coven, and most importantly Raven. He treated Raven as his own daughter and in turn, when Aidan sought to kill him in 2011, Raven saved his life, casting her friendship with Rebecca Estacado aside. 
== A Rebellious Daughter ==
James Bishop wanted to make a deal with fairytale characters who were living in a placed called Storybrooke, Maine and saw it as a good opportunity for a young Raven to have a sense of normalcy as she was finally stepping into the world of magic. She wasn't fond, however, of his malicious intentions of hunting down Aidan and Rebecca after they made it out of Boston when Raven chose to save Bishop's life. Still, Bishop wanted Aidan Waite and Rebecca Estacado to come back to Boston and live among the coven, and wanted to speak with the Sheriff of Storybrooke about sightings of the two while they were there. 
He was stunned to find out his daughter decided to flee in the middle of their first night in Storybrooke. He had to put his initial mission on hold after finding out there were a couple of outsiders who came to Storybrooke to destroy magic, and might've had something to do with Raven going missing. After finding out where Raven had gone off to, he went with a cast of fairytale characters to Neverland, an island where time stands still and kids don't grow up so he could rescue Raven and another young boy in the town named Henry. When he arrived at Neverland, he found a very angry Raven who happened to make friends with the boy king of Neverland, Peter Pan. 
Unbeknownst to Bishop, Raven and the Lost Boys allowed Emma Swan, the sheriff of Storybrooke to capture them and bring them to Storybrooke where Raven, Bishop, and the Lost Boys had a showdown of their own with a goal of saving Rebecca and Aidan. Bishop finally agreed to put his conflict with Aidan to rest, and for the next few summers, Raven went to Neverland or crashed at her wizard friends' homes. 
== Current Day ==
Bishop doesn't have much of a relationship with his adoptive daughter as things stand now. After she almost lost Rebecca, she wanted nothing to do with him. 
He still runs the vampire coven in Boston, but his influence has weaned since his daughter conquered the Magical Congress of the United States of America alongside her Dark Wizard Club friends.
