AJ Stavros

Born Alec James Stavros, AJ prefers to use his initials to avoid formality. He is human but knows a lot about the supernatural world, predominately vampires. AJ keeps himself protected by wearing a shark tooth locket laced with vervain and wolfsbane.

Moving to America
AJ was born into a rich family in Greece and transferred to a small town just outside of Mystic Falls for university. There he met his roommate and best friend. After his death AJ grew suspicious and began to do some digging. A few years later he heard about “Subject 666”. Although the university kept quiet and even denied it, AJ continued to dig.

Through his digging AJ met with a professor at the university who threatened him to keep his mouth shut about Subject 666 unless he wanted to end up like his roommate. Shocked and angry, AJ revealed that it was in fact his family who was funding the professor’s research and he would tell them to cancel the funding if he didn’t get answers.

The Truth
Having his hands tied the professor told AJ the truth about Subject 666. That night AJ learned that the subject was a vampire belonging to the university’s secret organization known as Vitale. Vitale were a group of researchers and university council members who were interested in the evolution of vampires and demons. They were currently doing experiments on Subject 666, their oldest vampire on record. AJ returned home during spring break to clear his head and figure out what he wanted to do with all this new information. He began doing research of his own into the history of vampires. AJ decided to return to the university to help the professor and honor the death of his roommate.

AJ is interested in the science behind vampires but never intends to use his knowledge for harm, he is simply fascinated by the supernatural element. AJ is currently enrolled in a science program through the university, hoping one day to return home and start his own lab. On the side AJ is also studying literature and history. He is a simple, polite man who enjoys a good read and classical music.
