Backstory(C'mon authors, I know how fun it is to go on about characters, don't wimp out here, oh and feel free to remove this lovely parenthesis noteline, haha): I'l fill this out when I know more about him. Again, my brain children sort of speak to me, and open up to me. So when I can get him to open up more, I will fill this out.

adolescence/teen(13 – 16): Nothing of significance up until age 16, when he was discovered to be a Keeper and was promptly removed from his happy home in Florence and taken to Mahattan to begin his training.
teen continued(16 – 18): Nothing of significance, except being forced to train as a Keeper and hating every minute of it. Meets his future wife, and they begin dating shortly after.
young adulthood(19 – 25): Completed his basic training (as Keepers continue to train throughout their first 15-20 years, will explain another time?) as a Keeper, and is tattooed and assigned a gate. Married his wife when he was 20, her nineteen and their first (and only) child is born. Things go along quite swimmingly, and he even begins to warm up to his job a little. When he's about 24, he pissed off some very powerful not nice people who hired other not nice people to kill his wife and son right in front of his face, while he was tied down and unable to stop them. For the next year or so following, he kind of let grief and his job take over his life
"official" adulthood(26 – 29): Still trying to cope with his loss, but is slowly starting to heal. Has slowly but surely stopped letting his grief consume and resumes living his life. (In the AU he is introduced to Lenore by Ais and they fall in love and all that happy horse junk)

Abilities(As in powers): The banishing kiss. It is This is used as a punishment for veil-rippers and balance-throwers. Kissing certain points on the face will send one to limbo for a certain period. It is a strange ability, but incredibly deadly in it's own right. the left cheek is one week, the right cheek is six months, the forehead is one year,and the lips are eternity. This ability is able to be turned on and off, and the indication that it is activated is the white puffs or tendrils of smoke will emit from his mouth.
There is also "beserk/beserker" mode in which his eyes turn yellow, no pupil. His skin hardens and is almost impossible to pierce through. All of his emotions are pushed to the back of his mind and forgotten. He will only feel wrath. The ground around him will crack and crumble with every step. The fog that normally clouds around his head will slither down and surround their feet. If you breathe in the smoke, you will suffocate. If the ground opens up enough, the earth itself will swallow you whole, and you will be sent to a limbo far worse than either the spiritual limbo or the physical limbo.
Running will do you no good.
Fighting back will do you no good.
Begging for mercy will do you no good.
You are dead.
However, this is an ability only used in the most desperate of desperate situations. It is not taken lightly.
He also very much more physically stronger than any human.
Rate their power on a scale of 1 - 10, 10 being most powerful in all the universe they're in: Canon: 89 or 9. There is very few things above the Keepers. AU: 6 or 7. Because there is a lot more things much more powerful than he.

Why/why not?: Because that is how it has been from the beginning.

Again, my brain children sort of speak to me, and open up to me. So when I can get him to open up more, I will fill this out.

teen continued(16 – 18): Nothing of significance, except being forced to train as a Keeper and hating every minute of it. Meets his future wife, and they begin dating shortly after.
young adulthood(19 – 25): Completed his basic training (as Keepers continue to train throughout their first 15-20 years, will explain another time?) as a Keeper, and is tattooed and assigned a gate. Married his wife when he was 20, her nineteen and their first (and only) child is born. Things go along quite swimmingly, and he even begins to warm up to his job a little. When he's about 24, he pissed off some very powerful not nice people who hired other not nice people to kill his wife and son right in front of his face, while he was tied down and unable to stop them. For the next year or so following, he kind of let grief and his job take over his life
"official" adulthood(26 – 29): Still trying to cope with his loss, but is slowly starting to heal. Has slowly but surely stopped letting his grief consume and resumes living his life. (In the AU he is introduced to Lenore by Ais and they fall in love and all that happy horse junk)

Abilities(As in powers): The banishing kiss. It is This is used as a punishment for veil-rippers and balance-throwers. Kissing certain points on the face will send one to limbo for a certain period. It is a strange ability, but incredibly deadly in it's own right. the left cheek is one week, the right cheek is six months, the forehead is one year,and the lips are eternity. This ability is able to be turned on and off, and the indication that it is activated is the white puffs or tendrils of smoke will emit from his mouth.
There is also "beserk/beserker" mode in which his eyes turn yellow, no pupil. His skin hardens and is almost impossible to pierce through. All of his emotions are pushed to the back of his mind and forgotten. He will only feel wrath. The ground around him will crack and crumble with every step. The fog that normally clouds around his head will slither down and surround their feet. If you breathe in the smoke, you will suffocate. If the ground opens up enough, the earth itself will swallow you whole, and you will be sent to a limbo far worse than either the spiritual limbo or the physical limbo.

Fighting back will do you no good.
Begging for mercy will do you no good.
You are dead.
