## Biography

### Early Life

Lauren was born in 1902, and was two years younger than her brother Sebastian. Their mother died when Lauren was young, while their father was an alcoholic and abusive towards the two children. At some point, Sebastian joined a local gang, the Scorpions, hoping to someday save enough money to help him and Lauren live on their own, but this subsequently left Lauren with their father alone for longer periods of time. While out to buy beer for their father, Lauren met Lars Hagen, proprietor of a local bar and liquor store, with whom she formed a friendship with.

Sometime when Lauren was a teenager, both her and her father were involved in a fatal incident that immediately killed her father. Lars found and saved Lauren by turning her into a vampire, then took her in as his own, joining the Ianis clan in the process. During this time, Lauren started using the name "Wren Kendall", after her nickname and her mother's maiden name respectively, to distance herself from her past. When Lars died sometime during the 1920s, Wren took over his position at the bar as well as the clan.

Several years later, the clan was involved in a territorial dispute with the Scorpions, culminating in a failed ambush attempt by the Scorpions wherein the vampires easily massacred most of the gang. Wren found Sebastian among the handful of remaining survivors and attempted to appeal to the clan leader for them to spare her brother; the clan leader agreed, only if she turned her brother into a vampire and force him to join their clan. Though reluctant at first, Sebastian ultimately enticed her into feeding from him and she relented, inadvertently turning him into a vampire.

When the Sanguinis clan took over the Ianis clan, Wren and Sebastian both willingly joined the former. During this time, Wren had a brief romantic relationship with Juliette King, though both later agreed to remain just friends.
