History of Damien Leblanc
Youth and the Voodon
Damien Leblanc was born on the planet of Voluptas in Zetalon after the collapse of the Chronoverse. His mother and father lived in a city that would become part of the Pleasure District. This was during the times that the Pleasure District had no order and no laws. His father was abusive towards his mother and would beat her even while pregnant with him.
When the birth of Damien drew near his mother snuck away to her Voodou priests of the Voodon, a subgroup of the Cult of Tawana. After she gave birth she prayed to her gods to protect her son. The Voodon priests performed a ritual that placed the spirit of Papa Legba into the baby’s boy and returned the child to his mother.
Once Damien reached the age of twelve years old he decided to protect his mother during one of his father’s assaults. Damien’s aura fully activated and as a result he killed his father in the process. His mother knew the Mishtara would arrest him and so she told him to run towards the Voodon. The Voodon priests took him in and raised him until the age of sixteen.
King of the Pleasure District
At the age of sixteen in the year 21 ŠNH, Leblanc decided the lawlessness of the Pleasure District couldn’t be allowed to continue. The brutality and disorder was causing harm, but he knew people also would need to have an outlet for their peculiarities if he didn’t want it to spread to the rest of Arlay.
Leblanc decided to take control of the areas that had become known as the Pleasure District and forced the different pimps and crime bosses to either submit to him and serve under his leadership or be a causality in his climb to power.
Some of them submitted, some fought and ultimately submitted, but many were killed by Leblanc and his crew so he could take control of the Pleasure District. He became known as the King of the Pleasure District after the great culling.
A few years after he gained stability, Madame Mel took an interest in him and offered a partnership. Crusandra, Madame Mel, and him entered into a pact to lead Voluptas. He was assigned Olga Vandershine as his partner.
His and Ollie’s interaction were like fire and oil. They sometimes antagonized each other to a point that it was explosive and sometimes they made each other burn with a passion and sadism. His reign lasted for thirty five years before he was arrested by Rickshaw and Huntress and then killed by the Aeoliran Church.
