Lorenzo Gilcrest

**Lorenzo Ames Gilcrest** is a powerful supernatural creature encountered by the Winchesters and Team Free Will.

## History

He was born in England during the middle ages of the 16th century. He described himself as “human” in his first life being weak and unremarkable as he had not even tapped into magic despite his lineage. Lorenzo’s mother loved him deeply and couldn’t bear to see him get hurt or be so powerless to defend himself and so performed a ritual on him at midnight during the full moon of the third month of the year in order to make him "strong". She had his stepfather forcefully apply special ointment all over his body made from Valerian Root, seawater, Wolfsbane, and a little Opium. A wolf pelt hide was placed around his nude body and his stepfather guided his hand to take the life of a local girl who he was friends with making tears slip from his eyes as his mother said the invocation "Hashi nvgidgia nvasdi" to invoke Selene, goddess of the moon, causing him agonizing pain for "ages" after as every bone in his body broke during his first transformation. He became an “eclipse” wolf that night. In contrast to normal Werewolves, Lorenzo stayed in wolf form for two days before reverting back naked and covered in blood terrified of what he had done which he never revealed.

Lorenzo was plagued by mental illnesses his entire life which only got worse with the werewolf aggression and hormonal changes. As a teenager, he was prone to fits of rage and severe aggression with him displaying signs of antisocial personality disorder. The villagers had noticed his increasingly violent behavior and urged his mother to “quell” him which she refused to do and threatened them all with a terrible curse if they made mention of it again. Thus, out of fear, neighbors who had once opened their home to the Gilcrest family now kept them out and refused to talk to Lorenzo making him lonely in isolation from choices made on his behalf. He is believed to have suffered from bipolar disorder and obviously depression.

At one point, however, Lorenzo met and fell in love with a new boy who came to the village named Jameson - one of Rowena's ancestors in fact. He stated that he was the light of his existence, one he wanted to be better for as he originally thought he didn’t deserve someone such as Jameson. They were forced to hide their relationship from those around them due to the outlook at the time and the fact that sodomy was punishable by death through hanging.

When he was 19, Lorenzo’s mother had died from syphilis as she was having an affair with *ironically* Jameson’s widowed father. When Lorenzo’s stepfather had found out, he wanted to punish the last living piece of her ie; Lorenzo. He and several of his friends pummeled and tortured Lorenzo for 5 days not letting him leave the house, tying him up with ropes soaked in boiling water, and barely allowing him to sleep or eat. Eventually, Lorenzo took his own life not seeing an end to the punishment of his mother’s sin and wanting to go out on his own terms.

However, Jameson as a Macleod was a powerful witch who couldn’t accept the death of the love of his life and so quickly performed the first version of the Augmented Vampire Curse that he had designed so that they could one day live forever together. He was on the brink of death with reapers waiting on the sidelines to claim his soul but Jameson managed to restore him and in the process turn him into an “abomination”. The pre-existing werewolf curse in him intermixed with the newly introduced Vampire curse which created an entirely new being. A twisted perversion of the Natural order, an entity with the strength of two of the most ferocious apex monsters on Earth.

Immediately after, Lorenzo could not control his thirst for human blood and inadvertently killed Jameson by draining his body of blood without realizing who he was at the time or what he was doing as he was disorientated from the ordeal. At last, when his mind became clear, he looked down at the corpse on the ground and dropped to his knees releasing a pain-riddled scream as tears flowed from his eyes. Due to his distracted mind, he had failed to notice the small sapling that magically sprung up from a pile of Jameson's and Lorenzo's blood that melded together.

Broken both psychologically and having just taken the life of the one person left who loved him, his heart fractured. He took revenge on his stepfather and the local villagers, subsequently wiping out the entire village in one night.

Lost, he turned away from the wreckage and shifted into a wolf only this time the transformation was much quicker yet still agonizing. Lorenzo sprinted through the forest in his spectacular black canine form. Though he was still reeling from the past events and what he lost, Lorenzo looked back fondly about the run saying that he felt powerful and free. When he reverted to human form after running for miles, he attacked a carriage in a bloodthirsty hunger killing at least 5 noble born mortals before discovering a peasant boy servant cowering while praying to the Catholic God. He discovered the young man, named George, through the use of his newly vampiric enhanced sense of hearing. As Lorenzo lifted the tarp up shining light on George, revealing that he had run for so long that it was now sunrise, he pleaded for mercy and offered his services which the hybrid initially chuckled at.

Lorenzo stepped closer to George now practically grinding on him as a result of their proximity before grasping the mortal's hair to highlight the neck as his fangs extended. However, he suddenly stopped, mere moments before they would've sunk into George. This was because he could smell the power of a dormant Natural Witch and could not think of anyone but Jameson therefore allowing George to live as an act of remorse. Before he was allowed to leave, Lorenzo had commanded that George strip as he was in need of new clothing since his was destroyed in the transformation process. Soon after, the servant had told the Count of the region that his guests had been slaughtered by a "bare demon" by the name of Lorenzo Gilcrest. This lead to them discovering the remains of the village and thus beginning the legend.

After more time making a name for himself in England, becoming very infamous, he left Europe on a boat headed for what he called the “new world” now known known as America. He settled in the town of St. Augustine which was founded in September 1565. During the many pirate pillages throughout the 17th century, Lorenzo defended his new home by killing any foreign invader he saw.

Later on, he moved from St Augustine into a smaller village as his murdering had raised questions. Unfortunately, he could no catch rest there and in 1694 he was accused of witchcraft by a man who saw him heal from a wound while at a tavern. The villagers subsequently burned his home to the ground while Lorenzo was still inside though he survived. As revenge, he turned the man’s wife into a Vampire using the standard technique he had learned along the way and forced her to “eat” their entire family. According to himself, this was a period where he was losing much of what remained of his humanity.

From 1720 to the eighteen hundreds, Lorenzo was involved with a fellow vampire who had apparently been turned in the year 1221 - centuries before Lorenzo was born. This gap in their age led to Hugo calling Lorenzo "kid" for decades which he had hated. In 1897, Lorenzo was responsible for what came to be known as the Black Sea Massacre, where he wiped out an entire coastline of people on Christmas Day due to drowning his feelings after being dumped by Hugo. However, this would ultimately lead to decades of suffering for Lorenzo as he unknowingly killed the grand-children of two powerful witches who held a grudge for the next four years until 1901 after he attended Queen Victoria's funeral where they lured him back to America to an abandoned church with rumors of a plot against him. Though they didn’t kill him despite having obtained the means, the witches instead sealed him in the basement behind a seemingly impenetrable mystical boundary. He was trapped there for 117 years, 2 month, and 9 days according to his own count. During this time, Lorenzo fed on his own blood to sustain his strength which he described as largely unpleasant but necessary.

Come modern day and the last living descendants of the original witches who locked him away had died without siring offspring resulting in the boundary spell which was linked to the belief that their bloodline wouldn't end. Thus, Lorenzo was free to roam the Earth once more. He rejoiced in his long sought after freedom by going onto the roof top of a large building and jumping off onto the ground where he surprised numerous mortal civilians. He was fascinated by what he saw of the scientific innovations and massive population growth that occurred during the time he was imprisoned for. Lorenzo likely stopped at a nearby clothing shop beforehand as he was wearing modern-style clothing.

The videos of him jumping off the roof went viral and unsurprisingly the Winchesters ended up seeing it. They traveled to his location where they briefly fought before Lorenzo defeated the Winchester brothers and was then subdued by Castiel though he caught him by surprise.

Tied up in the Impala, Lorenzo made fun of the hunters for having to ally themselves with an Angel to solve problems whereas the hunters of his time would've been more competent. He also poked fun at Castiel for not being the "typical angel" having largely abandoned his posting in Heaven in favour of spending time with mortals.

Despite his behavior, Castiel attempts to bond with him by saying that he heard of Lorenzo's past especially regarding his "tragic love story" calling it comparable to Romeo and Juliet yet more violent which he offered his sympathies to. When the Winchesters were confused at Castiel's remarks, Lorenzo offers to explain which he does in depth surprising Castiel given how willing he was to recount such traumatic events.

Lorenzo also recounts how he attempted numerous ways to restore Jameson to life even stealing from the Grand Coven and trying advanced resurrection spells but he has thus far failed much to his annoyment. Several flashbacks cue regarding his trials.

Shortly after, Lorenzo claims "well it's been fun" and breaks through from his bindings before kicking the car window at and jumping through onto the road. He then vamp speeds away.

Eventually, he prepares an advanced resurrection ritual to bring Jameson back to life although unlike all his previous attempts this one succeeded. He enjoyed romantic bliss with him for some time even gifting him with an Immortality ring over breakfast so that Jameson could live without the fear of death alongside Lorenzo although one night Jameson confessed that the modern world was terrifying and that he did not belong as Lorenzo did since he was been dead for centuries. Jameson shared a passionate kiss with Lorenzo and begged him to undo what he did.

At first, Lorenzo was shocked, confused, and upset that his efforts over centuries have been for nothing. He stormed away saying "I could never kill you!". However, after another run in with Dean Winchester who stated "If you love someone. Truly love them. You would do anything for them, even if it would hurt either yourself or them. You may not like what he's asked you to do but it's what he desires more than living itself. I think you should do it respectfully".

He met up with Jameson and after saying goodbye before removing the ring, Lorenzo tearfully sunk his teeth into his neck replicating the event that happened nearly 5 centuries ago.

Later, feeling depressed, he went to a bar to drink his sorrows away where he inadvertently stumbled upon a werewolf pack and their leader. Feeling that the resident alpha was obnoxious and a "dick", Lorenzo challenged his position invoking an ancient rite where any werewolf can challenge another over leadership. To qualify, he had to reveal his true visage thus revealing his nature as a "twice cursed" hybrid. Casually, Lorenzo won the fight and declared himself alpha now before decapitating his predecessor. Though afraid, the werewolves kneeled as a sign of respect and acknowledging him as their ruler now.

One of his first acts were renting a massive penthouse floor of an apartment building for his werewolves and himself to live in which the landlord believed him to be a "rich playboy" giving Lorenzo's comment about if he heard any screaming the landlord was to ignore it. Under Lorenzo's guide, the pack went from a pathetic club who roamed deserted bars to one of fearful reputation as Lorenzo had performed a ritual allowing his subjects to draw strength from his hybrid nature which also prevented them from turning on full moons unless they wished. Because of this, werewolves and even alphas from other packs came to join under him, with the pack now named "Blood Eclipse" becoming one of the largest in the western hemisphere. Eclipse being significant due to Lorenzo being cursed under the Eclipse category through the dark magic werewolf spell and "Blood" since every member has a drop of Lorenzo's blood in their veins thanks to Lupercalia.

At the encouragement of several members of his pack, Lorenzo started to go to regular therapy sessions with a supernatural psychiatrist, a shapeshifter, in an attempt to better himself and his mental health for the good of his pack. However, he eventually killed her as she knew too much of his head and emotional weaknesses.

Later, he visited a sex club but only to recruit a werewolf employee there who was quite, in his words, "gropey". Although, he ultimately refused Lorenzo's offer which led to Lorenzo biting his head off in anger of being rejected.

## Personality

One of his most notable qualities was his frequent use of sarcasm and a seemingly sadistic sense of humor as well as cracking jokes and making fun of his opponents even in the midst of battle. He takes enjoyment from taunting them and gets upset when they ignore his wit which leads to him getting angry and therefore “wolfing” out.

Lorenzo appears to be a “loner” and is stubborn, fiercely violent, confident, and somewhat unpredictable. He is a member of the LGBT community specifically being homosexual with his first love being a neighbor boy named Jameson. He can show a playful side, being charismatic and flirtatious.

He seems to suffer from bipolar disorder, mild depression, and possibly antisocial personality disorder. Lorenzo claims to be haunted by his past with his nightmares being filled with the faces of his mother and Jameson as well as the torment he faced by his stepfather.

Lorenzo has been generally good friends with witches throughout the centuries, stating how he respects them and holds them in high esteem. This stems from both his mother and ex-partner being witches. Despite not being a wolf by birth, Lorenzo calls fellow werewolves his "brothers" and "sisters", displaying annoyance when they act in defiance of their nature or when they are hunted.

When faced by those who annoy him, his enemies, or etc, he displays himself as merciless and cruel, expressing arousal when he crushes the testicles of a hunter. He is short-tempered largely due to being a part werewolf, reckless yet calculated, relaxed in serious situations, and shows little regard for human life.

## Physical Appearance

He appears as an attractive young man in his late teens to early twenties with brown-ish hair and brown eyes. Lorenzo is somewhat tall at around 5 foot 8 with a slim yet fit mesomorph body build.

When revealing his hybrid form ie; Vampire - werewolf face, his irises temporarily shine with a yellowish light similar to that of Dracula, while his sclera remains pearly white, and dark veins cascade from his lower eyelids to his cheekbones though somewhat delayed. Lorenzo’s canines extend into fangs.

## Powers and Skills

According to numerous characters, Lorenzo has “great” and “ancient” power being one of the most feared creatures to ever walk the Earth. He possesses seemingly the common abilities of both werewolves and vampires though to greater heights that grow stronger with age due to his duo cursed nature and old age. He will also increase in strength when enraged, due to his werewolf side which also means he is stronger during a full moon. He has been deemed to possess the “old powers” common to vampires of his age and older which he has displayed to great effect.

### Hybrid Powers

* **Superhuman Strength:** He possesses vastly increased levels of physical strength superior to that of most vampires, werewolves, and other monsters. Lorenzo can easily decapitate others, rip out hearts, break bones, snap necks, break chains, and easily overpower grown men larger than himself. While weakened, it took a small horde of vampires to restrain him.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Stemming from his vampire side, Lorenzo is much faster than humans and some other monsters, appearing like a vibrating blur in motion when running. Due to his werewolf curse, he is far quicker than conventional Vampires of even greater age. At sprinting level he may reach hypersonic grade as he travelled 1,523 miles in ten minutes.
* **Superhuman Agility:** He possesses enhanced levels of agility, flexibility, and dexterity superior to that of normal vampires or werewolves enabling him to move quickly, jump very high, climb and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. Lorenzo once jumped off a building's roof with no injuries and onto his feet like a “cat”.
* **Daylight Immunity:** Due to his werewolf side, UV radiation from the sun’s rays does not burn his skin and therefore cannot kill him.
* **Resistance to Magic:** Lorenzo is surprisingly more resistant to magical forces when compared to that of an ordinary vampire with sleeping spells being ineffective against him, biokinetic spells designed to cause pain barely affect him, and even binding spells while they were able to hold him for a while he can escape therefore breaking the mystical energy handcuffs. However, he cannot escape boundary spells and can be killed through powerful magic.
* **Superhuman Senses:** Lorenzo has extremely keen senses of hearing, sight, smell, and taste compared to humans and even other vampires due to his werewolf side. He can hear the beating of a heart, smell blood from a distance, hear whispered conversations from a distance, see clearly in the dark thanks to his werewolf side, track scents, and etc. When he first turned, he described it as sensory overload being overwhelmed by his vampiric enhanced werewolf senses with sound waves being “deafening” and the night light blinding.
* **Immortality:** He possesses an enhanced degree of immortality with him capable of living for eternity if not killed without aging. Lorenzo is also immune to all human diseases and even some things that will kill a Vampire like wood won’t kill him.
	+ **Superhuman Durability:** His body is far more dense and resistant compared to that of a human being able to better withstand force impacts and wounds while being barely fazed.
	+ **Regeneration:** He is capable of healing from any and all injuries in a matter of seconds. Even a werewolf bite is no threat to him thanks to his werewolf side, it is only painful and may sting temporarily. Human blood has also been known to make the healing process faster.
* **Shapeshifting:** He has the ability to transform into a magnificent black wolf form at will, not being tied to the cycle of the moon. Lorenzo has complete awareness in this form and can even perform partial transformations, manifesting single features of his werewolf form such as displaying claws. When transforming, his skin uniquely becomes dark gray, veins turn black, and his irises glow before every bone in his body breaks like that of a normal Werewolf although it is quicker.
	+ **Werewolf Bite:** Like all werewolves, his venom is extremely lethal to most vampires and other supernaturals. It acts as a poison of sorts that will enter the bloodstream and deliver the toxin throughout the body, producing discomfort and weakness, developing uncontrollable hunger that progresses to delusions, hallucinations, rabid rage, and dementia, culminating in death.
	+ **Lycanthrope Enhancement:** He is capable of using his werewolf genes to further supplement his vampiric powers and abilities. Lorenzo’s claws are sharp enough to penetrate his own very durable skin and so are his teeth. Due to his werewolf heritage, his strength and speed are heightened further during a full moon or while enraged.
* **Hypnosis:** He has adept psychic talent enabling him to even control people's motor functions with the wave of his hand, and thus taking control of their bodies and rendering them unable to move, but still conscious of what was being done to them. Through eye contact with his prey, he can take control of their thoughts and force them to do things against their subconscious consent. However, this requires a verbal command indifference to his body puppetry.
* **Siring:** Like all Vampires, he is capable of converting a human and a few other species into a vampire. He does this by draining their body of blood and feeding the person some of his own blood. The chosen then slumbers with no heart rate for any time between a few hours or a few days where upon awakening need to drink human blood.

### Magical Proficiency Level

1. Possibly 800 magic|Far higher when channeling
2. Unknown

### Powers through Spells

Despite being afflicted by the Augmented Vampire Curse, Lorenzo is capable of harnessing mystical energy to cast spells that provoke change upon reality. This is due to Jameson's version not being designed as a punishment to witches. Over the centuries, he has studied countless forms of magic usually related to necromancy in hopes of resurrecting his deceased love. He has also studied offensive spells rooted in elemental magic. However, he was not skilled or powerful enough to break through the boundary spell placed on a church basement by strong witches. Although it did not require a spell, Lorenzo was also able to perform the Lupercalia ritual to gift his pack members with transformation control among others.

* **Resurrection Spell:** He created this spell to resurrect his deceased love, Jameson, by turning soil and water into flesh and bone. It ultimately succeeded when Lorenzo was released from the church. See Spells and Rituals for more.
* **Resurrection Spell 2:** Lorenzo stole this spell from the Grand Coven in an attempt to resurrect Jameson but it failed since he had already moved onto an afterlife realm. See Spells and Rituals for more.
* **Resurrection Spell 3:** A sacrificial spell that exchanges one life for another to resurrect a deceased human. However, this failed to resurrect Jameson due to Lorenzo's inexperience in transferring life energy to an effigy. See Spells and Rituals for more.
* **Water Torrent Spell:** By casting; "Aquata ad me", he can manipulate water in the nearby atmosphere to gather in his hands and launch it as a projectile torrent.
* **Channeling:** In order to boost his fuel source to power spells, Lorenzo is capable of invoking additional energy harnessed from celestial events like Eclipses, meteor showers, Planetary Conjunctions, Auroras, or a Supernova. He can also channel celestial objects such as the sun, moon, a comet, or the elements.
	+ **Destruction Spell:** Lorenzo performed this spell in order to melt the Gilcrest immortality ring into pure metal during Lupercalia. Despite the spell, the liquid remains and jewel still retained trace amounts of mystical properties. To do so, Lorenzo channeled the energy of a full moon. See; Spells and Rituals for more.
	+ **Veil Manipulation Spell:** A powerful spell used in conjunction with the resurrection spell in order to lower the borders of the veil allowing a soul to physically interact with the living and easier manipulate the target soul. See Spells and Rituals for more.
* **Shock Spell:** By casting; "Surgere Maxima", he was capable of unleashing an arc'd blast of lightning from his hand powerful enough to throw people backward and burn them with lichtenberg - tree like pattern.
* **Pyrokinesis:** By casting; "Ignari", he could launch a fireball from his palm and through "Unar Scar Ignalusa" he could release a stream of flames.
* **Enchantment:** He created a metallic ring complete with a Amethyst jewel that he bestowed an enchantment similar to the resurrection seal used by Rowena being based of the Macleod magic. See Spells and Rituals; Immortality/Creation section, for more.

## Weaknesses

1. Wood - While it won’t kill him due to his werewolf side, wooden stakes or bullets can weaken and even incapacitate Lorenzo. However, weapons made from a unique sub-species known as **Quercus Genus Magus** can permanently kill Lorenzo as it is a loophole to his unique nature given life by the spilled blood of himself and Jameson - the one who turned Lorenzo. *Quercus* refers to the Fagaceae family indicating it is an Oak wood while *Genus* translates to blood in reference to its creation and *Magus* means magic which bestowed new life to Lorenzo twice.
2. Magic - The forces of witchcraft can still affect him despite his resistance and he was once trapped for decades by a powerful barrier spell.
3. Cannot enter houses owned by the living unless invited inside by a resident
4. Higher Beings
5. Incapable of drinking the blood of demonic beings
6. Silver (limited)
7. Emotions
8. Wounds inflicted by supernaturals take longer to heal
9. If a large amount of his pack taps into his hybrid power at the same time, it can weaken Lorenzo and he experiences what he describes as an "unpleasant" feeling.

## Trivia

* According to himself, dozens if not hundreds of people are running from him believing Lorenzo to chase them to the ends of the earth and thus priding themselves for surviving for so long. However, in truth he lets them do their own thing unless it involves him and largely runs into them by accident where he then finally kills them.
* He talks in his sleep sometimes saying “dirty things”.
* Lorenzo only feeds his blood directly from the wrist to males whereas for females he drips his blood into a container. Though he has made exceptions in rare cases. This is a reflection of his sexual identity and who he feels comfortable being vulnerable to.
