FATHER: Count Kyrian Delacour III MOTHER: Countess Madeline Delacour SIBLINGS: Tatia Delacour, Nadia Delacour OTHER FAMILY: Count Kyrian Delacour II [Grandfather] OTHER IMPORTANT PEOPLE: None Currently HISTORY: Kyrian Delacour. The first of his name, and birthed from a short and very strong line of Magi. The Delacour family only took on the Magi bloodline when Kyrian Delacour I, after having acquired the French title of Duke from his deceased father, married a Magi and produced five Magi children, thus starting the Delacour bloodline. One of the five original Delacour magi, Kyrian Delacour II, was the original magi of the family to hold the power of mediumship. It was no wonder than it passed to his son and then his grandson. He had every faith in the world that his power, as encumbering but proud as it was, would pass on through the next few generations. From a very young age, it was clear that Harley was magically talented. The first few years of his life were filled with random fires, household objects exploding or shattering, and even him seeming to see things that weren't there. When Harley started to claim that he could see ghosts, the family instantly knew what he would most likely go through in his life. Because his magic manifested while he was so young, he started training early. Usually they were one on one sessions with his father, and he really enjoyed them. Even as a child it gave him a sense of security in life that he wouldn't have gotten with any other person. Of course, and as can be expected, Harley and his father were very close. He was closer to his father than anyone else in his life, even his own mother. While he loved his mother and his siblings, his father was much more like him than his other family members. His father was more important to him than anyone else. The man taught him everything that he knew and personally tutored him in both his magical studies as well as his educational studies. They were inseparable in everything that they did together, and that's why soon after Harley's 19th birthday, when his father, the Duke, passed away, he was utterly and completely crushed. Harley took the death harder than anyone else in his family. However, he was more than ready to take up his father's title of Duke. It took a few years, but Harley soon realized that his father would be in a better place and focused more on his work and his training as a magi. He focused his mind on his work and the political duties that he held. He also focused himself on helping and interacting with any spirits that he came across. He felt that it was his job as a medium to help the people around him, whether they were alive or dead. On top of that, around this time, he started to have visions which also marked him as a seer from that point on. A year after he took on his father's title, the French monarchy was dissolved due to the French revolution. The Delacour family escaped to England and promptly swore their allegiance to the English monarchy. In turn the Delacour family was able to keep their titles and was given a new Dukedom to look after. When it became apparent that Harley was not aging as fast as he should have been, he faked his death and passed his position onto a cousin of his that was not a magi. He then escaped to the new world, in the throws of a revolution that would free them from English rule. He made his home in the new world, making his way up to the top as a very prominent businessman. He acquired quite a bit of land and became known as a land baron. When the industrial revolution came about, he sold much of his land, except for a few properties in New York, and invested much of his wealth into the new and coming industrial world. He went from being a land baron to being and industrial baron, working every possible angle to build up enough wealth for himself and the family that he kept tabs on. He would go home from time to time and would constantly endure his mothers questions of why he wasn't married yet. He wasn't one to really think about love. He hadn't ever been interested in it. But to his mothers instance, her started to court a few women here and there. None of them ever worked out, so he's remained solitary for most of his life. He enjoys it, and he never has to explain who he's talking to when a spirit drifts his way. By this time, around 1850, during the second industrial revolution, Harley joined the Scarlet Council. He started from the bottom, but within a few years he was elected into the Magi senate as a Chancellor. He took his job very seriously then, and he still does now. He's spent the last hundred or so years of his life working for the Scarlet Council and building his business empire. His corporation grew and he now has businesses and hotels that can be found all over the globe. He keeps a low profile, however, not bringing too much attention to himself when he doesn't really need it. Most recently (within the last year), Harley's bought up a gentleman's club in New York and has started focusing on this new business as his main front. He's passed off most of his empire to his family that still hold the Dukedom in England (though he still has a hand in every aspect of his businesses), and he settled down to simply running his club. Maybe the time will come when he takes his corporation back, as it is still his, but right now he is simply content with the one club in New York as well as his job as Magi Chancellor. |
