So for starters, Aidan Wilkins is a rare vampiric demon called a Valkayon (Valk-yon). His species was damn near eradicated when he was a fledgling, his mother sending him away before an attempt could be made on his life since his mother was the queen of the demonic race. He was raised on Earth where they could hide his scent and aura, slowly growing up in Egypt for most of his young life.
He started growing around 100 BCE, shortly before Cleopatra’s birth, and grew as early Egyptian boys did; he played, caused mischief with other demon children in the dessert, and grew up with the knowledge that at some point, he too would have to earn his keep.
Aidan’s name during this time was Bast, the boy who wandered during night. Because he was so young, he could not walk into sunlight without his skin beginning to burn, and so lived a nightly life, cowering from the sun for many years. His caretaker, the sister of his lost mother, was instructed to hide him from his heritage out of fear that he would be hunted and killed.
For many a year, he knew nothing of his parents or of his twin brother, who was promptly hidden halfway around the world without knowledge and with a new identity. He grew among his kind, keeping far away from humans save for when he had to feed.
It is known whether or not he reached maturity by 500 or 600 CE, but he was of age where he now had to carry his weight in an ever-changing world. Bast’s caretaker was killed in when she did not accept a bond with another demon, leading Bast to killing him and running away when the murderer’s family lashed out.
For a long while, Bast kept to himself, wandering from hidden tomb to hidden tomb with families that would only have him a short time. Bast eventually had to stop running and found a small group of demons to live with. They grew to be fast friends, and eventually family, thriving together in the cool dark of the night.
At some point he had to forgo his demonic roots to mingle with humans, as his diet and lack of money forced him to turn away from his brethren. Bast had an amazing singing voice and used this to attract mundane attention and money, giving him what he needed to survive. Because of his voice, Bast had also attracted many a lover in his bed, though he was never known to have a lover for too long.
Eventually his friends convinced him to move from Egypt to elsewhere with better opportunity, and so they traveled with whatever they had on their backs, all avoiding traveling around other demons in fear that each of them would get spotted for various reasons.
Finally stepping foot in North America in the 90s after venturing through several countries, Bast settled and changed his name, finding that many a demon had chosen the United States to hide in. Bast, no, Aidan, was right at home.
He continued to use his voice throughout the years, only stepping foot into the music industry in the early 2000s CE. Aidan found his musical talents in rock and formed a band with his demon friends, making a handful of albums over the course of 10 years before finally “retiring”.
During his years in making music, Aidan created another home for himself in Egypt, remembering his roots fondly and missing his first home dearly. It sits, and below it, a tomb filled with secrets and riches very few know about.
His retirement was followed by news he could not handle well. His real past finally came back to haunt him in the form of an attempted assassination constructed by his twin brother. Aidan was found by one who worked for his family for a long time, revealing to him that he is a lost prince of the demon clan Valkayon, and it was in dire need of leadership.
Aidan has tried to deny these claims of royalty, attempting to cut them off from his life but failing to time and time again. He will have to fight for the crown or give it willingly, but he cannot just “give the crown” knowing that his brother wants him dead either way.
He has to face his kin and take care of him through words or weapons, but he no longer has to face danger alone.
As of current, Aidan is still young, all things considered, reaching up to a little over a thousand years old (equal to a young human adult). He has no mate and chooses not to have one, having had his heart used and abused more than once. He is an honest, tired player, and a huge flirt. Despite his demonic form being red and black, Aidan has a deep love for blue and often wishes he could change his worn skin to a different shade.
If he had a theme song, it’d be Blinding Lights by The Weeknd

@hardheartedteddybear here love~
@qbanalras is a long one
@matronofthevoid in case you’re interested in a read.
I love this poor bastard. I left out a lot of smaller details and stories of the shit he’s been in for a big overview of him, but maybe I’ll write out more stuff about him later. Poor bastard is terribly homesick and more alone than words can say.
