For as long as Emmett remembers, he was always on his own. Emmett Liam Wesley was born in Portland, Maine on March 17th, 1901 to Meredith and John Wesley. His parents had passed away when he was 2 years old due to a bad car accident and went to live with his aunt Gemma. But she was hardly considered a mother figure. Emmett felt he shouldn’t complain about his aunt though. He had a roof over his head, food on the table, and clothes on his back. Gemma and John were not the closest growing up and that did not change well into their adult years. Emmett remembers his aunt as a woman who had a hardened exterior. She didn’t show her nephew much affection and that always made Emmett feel like a burden to his aunt.

Due to some of his family history being lost, a photograph of his parents the only remaining memento, he didn’t have much knowledge about who his family was. What he does know is that in his young years, he was restless and stronger than most kids his age. That was what would cause trouble for Emmett because he felt that it wasn’t normal. His distant relationship with his aunt not only made it easier to get away with things but his presence when he was home went unnoticed at times. It was when he was around the age of 15, just a few weeks shy of his 16th birthday, he found a place where he could get his frustrations out. He had met a girl by the name of Lucy. She was 20 years old and it was there that she had become a mentor to Emmett.

Emmett had found solace in Lucy, a friendship that helped Emmett in many ways...They became friends, thick as thieves, and always fought and trained with each other. It was when Emmett was 16, weapons were introduced into the training. Emmett had caught onto the combat training like nothing and would become quite the skilled fighter into his adult years. He could handle a blade well, knew how to work a crossbow with good aim but his specialty was guns. He was a sharpshooter and by the time he was 16, he never missed a shot. It was around when he was 17 that Emmett had left with Lucy to Chicago to start over a new life, leaving his aunt behind in Maine. He never took much note about how Lucy had never aged because - what would a few years change? A wrinkle or two but that’s something Emmett never noted.

Things were going well for Emmett and Lucy, the two’s bond strong as the years passed. Emmett took on the job as a mercenary to get some cash. His excellent aim and his skill to handle a gun came in handy more than one would think. He was well into the business until one night his work came to him. His previous job went well, no hiccups but what Emmett didn’t know was that the target he took out had tabs on him. He took down the wrong man, a man with many allies and resources. It didn’t take them long to find where Emmett lived and they sent a hit-man to get him. To make a long story short, Emmett’s skills were much more advanced than the hit-man's. When the other’s gun fired at him, Emmett already had his fatal shot in aim. But the bullet that was fired at Emmett had went through his chest, more severe than a flesh wound. He would bleed out quickly but during the time of the firing guns, Emmett told Lucy to hide.

When she reemerged with fear, not for her but for Emmett. She stepped out into the front room of their apartment and ran towards his body. Tears were streaming her cheeks as her best friend only had a few minutes to live. She looked at the blood on the floor and she told him, it wouldn’t hurt anymore. That’s when she leaned down to his neck and pierced his skin, draining the blood so that half of his blood remained. Emmett could hear the soft sobs of Lucy before he blacked out. It was then that Lucy gave him her venom and his whole body was on fire as the poison rushed through his body. At the age of 23, Emmett became a Turned vampire. A sire to Lucy Devereaux. The sire bond that was created had put on strain on the two’s friendship though. The two worked through differences for the next 2 decades but it was in the year of 1953 that Lucy left Emmett.

Emmett had grown used to being by himself as the decades went on. Traveling and doing work as a gun for hire which was good for him. He hated staying in one place for too long and it was work that put his skills to the test every day. It’s now 2017 and the traveling routine has never left his system. He decides to come to a city in Colorado called Evermore where he hears there are vampires that reside her. He still feels the attachment to Lucy and who knows, he might find her.
