John Kerrigan was born in 1951 in France from American parents, he was a handsome boy, nice too, but his fate wasn't as nice as him... One night, just after his 25th birthday party, he went to see his beloved Linda, he met her when they were 5 and he never left her. They were planning to have childrens, to marry, John was a rich and kind young man and Linda was so...perfect, it could have been a perfect love story, but.... perfection is not what it seems to be...On the road, John felt something bad, about Linda. He heard her screams, he saw her death and he wasn't here to save her.. These strange visions scared him and he went to Linda's house with this feeling... This bad feeling. When he arrived, her house was burning, in the night, enlighted with flames, he saw a shadow fleeing in the forest..... One year after, his visions increased and he saw the death of all his family. At the same time, A kindred was watching over him, A Tremere of the 7th generation named Louis Firebrand was thinking about his Embrace and, the night after, in the Kerrigan's house, the last member of the Kerrigan family died and reborn. Louis taught everything to John who lost his memory during the embrace, he told him his new name, "Shin" (means evil in Japanese), he taught Shin how to use the lure of Flames, the Auspex and the Domination over human, he talked about the Masquerade, the Camarilla, The Sabbat, Cain, Lilith, the history of their brood and the clans. Shin wanted to know about his past human life but Louis had things to hide....The death of Linda was his work, him, the master of the burning hellfire. Shin lived for 25 years in the chantry where he was watched and liked by the elders because of his great intelligence, but Shin found the truth... He discovered that his sire killed linda, he remembered the shadow, the flames and his tears. He went to see his sire and when he saw him, the beast tooks both his life and spirit...Now, all the sadness, the sentiments, the kindness, the mercy of Shin have disappeared. Rage, cruality, murders, hatred, and a deep darkness took their place.......
Now, Shin wanders everywhere, searching for knowledge, recently, he has gone and he is now BACK in Cascadia
