Born in rural Bavaria, Demian is the only child of Baron von Metzengerstein of Zweihügel. A bitter
disappointment to the Old Baron as, not only was Demian more interested in
playing the piano than shooting game, he is also afflicted with the
family curse of congenital vampirism. His early life was a study in
abuse until, at the age of 15, he ran away from home. After living a
self-destructive life on the streets of Berlin he was reunited with his beloved cousin Severin.
He is a founding member of the NachtZirkus.
Demian is sensual, audacious and not a little reckless. Because of the events of his early life, he
trusts very few people. The notable exceptions are Severin and Horse, both of whom he depends on entirely. He needs Severin to be his point of
stability in an unknowable and frightening world. He also needs Horse to help him control and release the negative energy born of the hurt, betrayal and
self-loathing he continues to feel. In his own way, he shoulders his parental responsibilities to Madeleine. However, he does not believe that
he could ever be a worthy father for her and defers ultimate responsibility to Severin and Palladino.
Demian is fool and acrobat. He is the creative impulse of the circus and tends to be indulged by the other
members of the troupe.
Prokofiev, madeleines and butch blonds.
Almost everyone else.
Demian was my
first doll. He is a manifestation of a character that I have had since I was a child.
Whilst elements of this character have changed over the years, the essence of
him has remained intact. Other dolly contenders for this character
were a Dollmore Kyle Reese and a Limho Mano. Having finally settled on a
Saint, I can't imagine any other sculpt doing the job so well. I would
consider Demian to be my most precious doll. |
