Sacha is not a naturally outgoing person. Therefore, he usually isn't one to initiate conversations on the street unless he just has to (such as asking someone to move). He stays to himself quite a bit and can become shy around others, especially if they are loud. However, he's usually not one to turn down a friendly invitation to join a group for an evening on the town and has some circles of friends he frequents, though he hasn't been known to be close to any of them.

In his private, spare time, he enjoys writing poetry and short stories. However, if any were to see the light of day, he would be mortified. In truth, he's quite talented at what he does, but even so, he doesn't think he is, and he would never want anyone to see his work. They are often quite sexual in nature disguised in terms that would make some readers think it most innocent. Still, he knows what he sees, and he is afraid others will see it as such as well. He does not want to be mistaken for a common pervert. Most poems are kept in his personal journals.

He comes from a good bit of money, but he can be seen out in the marketplace and in London's East Side a majority of the time. The reason for this being that he feels more comfortable with those of poor status. Therefore, he does have quite a bit of ragged clothes in his closet for when he wishes to go to those parts of town without the fear of being seen as an outsider. His French accent earns him some disgusted looks, but he has grown pretty adapt at mimicking the lack of annunciation- perhaps it's due to all of the time he spends with the crowd. However, he still has to blend in with others of his class and nobility and his presence is required to represent his family and keep them in good standing.

Currently, he works in a shop in London's West End selling imports from India and representing his father's business. He makes sure to let everyone know of their "special services", even though it's a well known, though not often discussed, fact. After a day of work, he likes nothing more than a full night of drinking. He's a bit of an alcoholic, though he prefers to drink alone rather than in large crowds. While he'll visit the tavern with friends, he'll likely drink in the comfort of his own home. It's become a bit of a problem, and he is addicted to it- but it is the one thing that has helped him cope with the fact he is now a monster. He knows the truth: no one will want to touch him now. And as this mindset festers, so do the self-inflicted scars he faces every unwilling transformation.

Sacha Antoine Leroux was born in Paris, the capital of France to a wealthy merchant father and seamstress mother. From a young age, he was accustomed to travel and life abroad. His studies often occurred on trains and ships when there was little else to do, and most of his socialization involved children who didn't speak French. He learned how to be fluent in Hindi early on, and it is a skill he still carries with him. That said, around the time he was eight, he and his mother ceased travelling after her third miscarriage and settled down in the big city.

It was his mother's duty to make sure his father's shops were flourishing, though she worked mostly behind the scenes. It was his father's best friend who was the frontman who was responsible for travelling throughout France to make sure that the shopkeepers were doing their jobs well. The Leroux family name was well known among the wealthy French, though also albeit notorious for having supported the aristocracy in the French Revolution. It's well known that his family holds several artifacts from the royal family when they were raided, and Sacha's middle name "Antoine" is homage to the beheaded queen.

However, their outstanding service and ability to obtain rare items made them quite famous. It's well-known, though not spoken of, that they have some dealings in the black market to get items that would otherwise be lost forever. Sacha, of course, being the only son, was expected to take over these dealings. Due to his father's absence, he relied on his father's friend for instruction and guidance. However, it seemed he wasn't the only one. At just the young age of ten, he caught the man and his mother kissing and watched as the two ascended the main staircase in their home to her room. They didn't know he'd seen, but he had, and he knew what it meant.

Feeling betrayed by both, Sacha began to grow distant from them. It didn't take his mother long to catch on, and rather than apologize for what she'd done, she asked Sacha not to tell his father. He told her he wouldn't, and he made good on that promise, but the thought of betraying his father made him sick. Finally, he came up with the decision that he would tell his father and wrote a letter to him asking him to stop by in Paris as soon as he could. His father showed up unexpectedly and caught his wife and friend in one of their trysts. The argument that followed was terrible and lasted long into the night.

Sacha didn't fall asleep until early hours in the morning, and when he woke, it was not to a friendly face. His father's friend found out that it had been him to send the letter- and it didn't take him long to assume that he was the one who had ruined it all. He promised to ruin Sacha's life in return, and he did. After stealing the boy's innocence, he bit him and injected the venom that would lead to him becoming a werewolf at the next full moon. Broken and alone, Sacha had no one else to turn to. His mother turned cold towards him and his father would speak to no one. Neither seemed to recognize the abuse he had suffered that night, too caught up in their own misery.

His first transformation nearly killed him and left him in such a weakened state that he couldn't move, even as a bloodthirsty wolf. Shortly before his second transformation, his father left once more for India with a vow that he would not be returning to his wife. Sacha was devastated, and as such, the second time did not go so well for him either. He destroyed his room and possessions in his transformed state, and it was a maid who found him huddled in a corner, shaking and bleeding. Believing he had been attacked, she sent for a physician who quickly tended to his wounds.

Sacha was beginning to realize what was happening to him, but he was too scared to tell anyone. He began to research the legends and myths only to have his suspicions confirmed. He sank into a depressed state as his family life crumbled and his health declined. His mother decided to get Sacha's father back once the scandal had cooled down and she had "worked through things" with her husband- including travelling to India to be with him and plead for his forgiveness.

Sacha's father's trading company had grown tremendously and he paid others to make the trips for him. He returned home with his wife and son. Things began to look up for Sacha, though seeing his mother and father happy together once more made him realize that he could no longer be part of the family he had unwittingly torn apart. He asked his father for permission to start participating more actively in the family business and was granted permission to visit England- prepared with funds and a place to stay, Sacha left and opened up a shop in London's West End. However, the shop's schedule is quite odd due to Sacha's weakened physical state near the times of his transformation and his unhealthy drinking habits.
