## Biography

### Early life

Mason Blackmore was born the eldest son of Mark and Summer Blackmore. From a young age, he was shown to be a genius who excelled in academics. This had brought a smile to his fathers face which made Mason want to work harder in the academics. The difference between his father and him while growing up was that Mason was also good at talking to people. Smoothing his way in and out of conversations as well as befriending people as they came or being able to muster up a good image of himself. Kids followed him around on the playground as they chimed over how great he was. It was clear that he had the makings of an amazing leader in him.

Once he entered middle school, he had tried out for baseball to which he had made it in within his first few seconds of his attempt. The coach had already been a fan of the young boy as well as the older kids on the team. From there, he balanced between his life pretty well. The only thing he seemed to struggle with was sleep which was when he would wander around his room with small ramblings to himself. Things that he could keep stored away. Summer came after his first year in middle school to which he requested to be sent to a summer camp. Within this summer camp, there was a lot of competition that he felt he could excel at. There was also rumor of it being fun but that was the least important part to him. That was until he met Raylon Lucas, a boy from a different city who was good at things in a easy going and seemed to highlight the importance of having fun.

After a face off which rendered the two even, Mason was in a little bit of awe. There had been an absurdly few amount of people who could beat him let alone match him. The two became best friends from that moment on and often teamed up in the events. This tag team duo became virtually unstoppable in the events that they went through. It was a different kind of high that young Mason had never experienced; the act of someone being able to keep up with him in competition and it excelling their chances of winning. When the summer came to an end, Mason slid back into his usual life.

When summer came, he entered the summer camp again to which he was happily greeted with Raylon again. The following years of his middle school career were a blur of baseball and school work and his summers were slowed down on that camp where no one could defeat him. They called often during the school year to discuss their homework, sports, and so forth. During the school year though, his best friend frustrated Mason because Raylon didn't like applying himself as much in school. Instead he just complained about the homework to only give half ass answers to it while Mason tried his best.

Freshman year of High School came to which he decided to take on some more responsibilities including joining the debate team and the student council. It was through the student council that he met Bridget Edwards. She was a year older than him and nearly as smart as him; opting to sit in the position as secretary and treasury instead. With numbers was something that she exceeded at. The only bad thing was that she was dating a brain dead Senior football player; one that his only ride to college was his career in football. That would be a easy work around for him to get to her though and it was. Flirting back and forth during student council meetings under the nose of the others. He had managed to make her laugh which she didn't usually do. It was clear that she had wanted more for the two of them the day she kissed him after everyone had left.

Their first time had been down by the river in the rain in the darkness. From there, they struggled to keep their hands off of each other. She was still technically dating her boyfriend but often skipped out on meeting with him to be with Mason. This electric feeling hadn't been something that his father warned him about but he was hooked. During the summer after his Freshman year, he learned the news that she broke up with her boyfriend the day he returned back from camp. It had left him ecstatic at that fact as life seemed to fall into place. He was the best in his debate team, on the track for becoming student council president, and on the track for becoming captain of the baseball team with all of his grades in order. Now he was about to have the girl he was in love with on his arm.

Not to mention that with every game won, every debate won, and every successful student council event meant his father was showing up to all of them frequently. People enjoyed his presence and that nagging faint voice that came at night was wiped away. This was how his life had continued and he had even managed to convince his girlfriend to attend the next summer camp with her. During the summer before his Junior year was when he had Thea Adame, a younger girl that he had seen around the city before. She would be in his school come fall so he felt a little pity for her but she quickly detached when she met Raylon. Suddenly, Raylon had a little fan to follow him around which Mason didn't mind because it meant moments that he could sneak off with Bridget.

A long conversation towards the end of that camp happened between Raylon and Mason. Raylon told him that next summer would be his last summer to which Mason understood. They both agreed it would be their last one before giving it up but they'd still keep in contact. When the next summer came and went, things were bittersweet as they both knew that it was the end but they enjoyed it. Bridget had found herself even having fun as well despite her not wanting to admit it. That summer came to an end and they had their goodbyes. It was for the better as Mason had finals and entrance essays for colleges whereas his girlfriend would be leaving for her first year of college.

Life resumed on as normal where Mason took care of all of his expectations as captain of the baseball team, student council president, and head of the debate team. Thankfully his girlfriend would come and visit him whenever classes were done. High School had ended up being a blast and some of the best years of his life. During his Senior graduation, he proposed to Bridget to which she had said that it was a no for that moment. Once he had finished his first four years of college for his surgeon career then he could ask her again. Listening to her advice as he went through college to only get high marks again. It was something that he was exceptionally good at. Bridget had met all of his family as well and they all liked her. Soon she would be a Blackmore and they'd have the whole nine yards. A nice home, kids, and barbeques by the summer. Maybe Mason would even get a summer job at the camp where he could teach kids about surgery.

When his fourth year came to an end, he proposed to Bridget again to which she finally said yes. The three years of college would be a breeze as they planned wedding stuff after wedding stuff. It would be a breeze for him which was something he was confident in. Everything would go well until one day Bridget left her phone at home while she was at work. It hadn't been in his nature to look through her phone but he saw a text from one of his cousins on it. Someone that they hadn't spoken to or seen since last holiday. That perplexed him because he hadn't known that Bridget and his cousin had exchanged numbers. Curiosity got the best of him to which he opened the text to see nudes sent by his girlfriend with a double checking if they were still on for tomorrow.

This had destroyed Mason but bringing this to light would put his picture perfect life into question. Things would seem array and he would lose control which wasn't something he liked. Not to mention that he was so impossibly in love with her. Slowly the voices started slipping back and as a way to combat it, he started dabbling in drugs. It wasn't just taking drugs but also selling the prescription pills that he got from work. He looked into the making of other drugs and rented a storage house so he could produce it. Being extremely smart helped him in this department for not getting caught on it but catching up a lot of customers. His charisma drew people in and kept them coming back; he knew how to spot out who might try to rat him out as well as what alibis or lies would keep suspicion off of him. Keeping his grades up was one of the biggest things that helped him.

This was what kept him deep into something other than the thought that the girl he loved was sleeping with one of his cousins. If he kept moving in his school work and his drug sale, he'd never have time to stop and think about it. Voices guiding him along this train as he did his best to keep up the charade. Tangling around with his girlfriend when she wanted and going on date nights when he was free. Sleep was becoming very sparse again as the voices seemed to kick off louder. Whispering things in his ear that he did his best to ignore. It wasn't until he finished his final year for his medical degree that they became impossibly loud. All they kept saying was to watch over Sam. Keep an eye on him so that he could keep him safe which was something he had to listen. They were telling him that Sam was in danger to which he had to keep an eye on him.

So Mason listened; he started following Sam around in secret. Keeping an eye on him and a year to the ground as he went so far to bug his younger brother. It was the summer before Sam's senior year so there was that logical voice that it was just some part of him disappointed that his younger brother would also be going off to college. One night though, his worries proved to be all worth it as he had sat in his car a little far away from a party that he was at. Hearing his younger brother confronting two of his friends followed by suddenly a hard fall down some stairs. Quickly he rushed to where the door was as he hid in the bushes. Binoculars in hand as he watched them take his brother out and buried him.

Waiting until they cleared out, Mason unburied him and took him to a secure place near the hospital. Treating his brother for the fallen injuries and with a lot of medical intelligence, he brought his brother back to life. In the mental insanity he faced, he kept Sam held up. Thinking that he was the only one who could keep him safe from the world as well as a larger looming threat. Not to mention the fact that his friends had thought they murdered him and instead of calling an ambulance, hid his body. They were a bigger danger then Sam had even realized it so as a good big brother then he would have to keep him there. Which he did as he kept his brother there, fed and clean out of view from the public world as they broadcasted about a missing Sam Blackmore. Keeping his fractured relationship with his Bridget as he used the fact that his brother was missing as an excuse to put off their wedding.

### Season 1

An unknown third party had caught onto him in which told him it was time to stop hiding him. Informing Mason that now was the time to act in taking vengeance upon Sam's friends as well as revealing the truth. In which Mason listened as he began leaving hints while also even going so far as to kidnap some of them and carve signs into them. It was an amazing feature the difference in person of him running around and doing this but appearing perfectly fine in front of his family. Bridget was so enthralled by her affair that she hadn't noticed; something Mason had noticed as a fleeting thought that if she just really looked at him then maybe she could see him.

The psychological and physical torture continued for almost a month of their summer. In the end they were able to find Sam Blackmore and the cops were called. Mason was hauled in by cuffs as Sam was found by the rest of the world. The reveal of this had made Bridget call a end to the engagement. Leaving him behind even more to rot in whatever choices would happen. Everything he had worked for in college was taken away which he only had three more years of residency before he'd be a full fledged surgeon.

### Season 2

The start of the season is Mason's trial which the verdict is revealed to be guilty but due to his mental health, he was put into a psychiatric hospital under mandatory sentence where he would be held for his crimes. Two years after, during a power outage, Mason made a great escape from the hospital. He ran to the one person who he knew he could get to see his side which was his little brother who ended up giving in and holing Mason up in the attic.

After some news of Rubi's missing as well as what they were going through, Sam brought his friends to him. Entering an uneasy alliance with Mason as he did his best to help them uncover what he could without putting himself in too much danger. This included going on a moment of going out to help Natalia herself in discovering it after she found out that Paul had cheated on her. He found her at a bar to which they started talking and decided to investigate themselves.
