“I'm awfully sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you…”
Greggory “Gregg” Burke // Prince Philip
Gregg comes from money, old money and although he’s enjoyed the privileges of being a rich kid in Britain, he’s always bucked against the traditions and expectations that went along with it. He’s said many times over that he would rather be poor and free than rich and locked in a cage and he means it, he would trade the wealth in a heartbeat. If it were up to him he would live in a studio apartment in London and do odd jobs, make ends meet and use the rest to party his days away. He’s always been smart but much more athletically inclined, maybe pursue football? As it stands, he’s expected to make something of himself but he has nothing that drives him...nothing that comes from him at least.
A few years ago, he started to become obsessed with fire, at first it was just a mild fascination but then he started to light them and reach out to touch them. One day he couldn’t help himself, sitting with his family in the parlour one night, he tossed himself into the fire place. He thought in that moment he would die or at least loose his pretty face...but no, the clothes burned but nothing else. Beginning to feel the heat and not wanting to chance it he leapt right out. Shortly after he received a letter from the institute but he didn’t want to go, he didn’t want to give up his freedom any more than he had. A deal was struck with his parents that if he didn’t make the professional Liverpool team, he would go to this place. Unfortunately for him, his playing was good but he didn’t quite make the cut. He’s on his way to Northern Ontario disappointed and frustrated, hoping for an adventure but not expecting one.
He is a much better polo player than a footballer but never wanted to pursue it, calling it a “rich person’s sport” and thus not a real one.
He can speak French, English and Spanish.
He is excellent at fencing and kickboxing.
He has a motorcycle that is his pride and joy.
Magic Touch: He is fire resistant, eventually it will burn him but it takes much longer than it normally would.
Fate: He is fated to be imprisoned for one hundred years before awaking sleeping beauty, passing away shortly after.
