Damien Blake (Bei)

Damien Blake  is the main protagonist and hero of the Protogenoi Series as well as one of the main characters. He is a nontraditional Greek Demigod, son of Erebus (Erebos) and Talia Blake. Damien wasn't a traditional hero that lived his life at the safe haven of the Greek Society, he was unfortunate enough to catch the wrath of the Gods and had been chased around the world until his seventeenth birthday where he learned about a safe place for his kind, but there is more than meets the eye on this Demigod.

Birth
Damien Blake was born on September 24, 1998 in White Plains, New York to Talia Blake and Erebus, who was under the alias Hector Blake.

He was born with a birthmark that Erebus had to remove in fear that the Olympians would look upon him as a crime against the laws that the Primordial had established.

Damien's life never was a quiet one. Soon after his birth he was attacked by creatures. The very same monsters that hid in the darkness attacked him. First two snakes attempted to strangle him in his crib.

After that he was nearly drowned by a sea creature in the beach when he was four. Systematically every horrible thing that ever happened to him, was tied back to his birthmark.

Childhood
Damien would later grow to understand the darkness, but he never accepted it fully. He would often hate the dark, as the creatures that wanted to kill him always came out in the dark.

By the time Damien was 12 he met his first monster. The one that revealed itself to him. After that encounter everything changed. Damien became much more analytical about things, and began to take precautions.

By the time he was 13 Damien ran away from home, in an attempt to lure the monsters away from those he loved most, primarily his mother, Talia.

At the age of 14 he met a group of others just like him. And he grew to learn about a group of others that were stationed not to far away in a remote section of the Long Island Sound, where Demigods would train, those were the children of the Olympians. While Damien was sectioned off to a small part of land that was not to far off from the Montauk beach.

 * Shadow Absorption: Damien can absorb the darkness within him as well as fade within the darkness. This is usually an ability that makes the user become one with shadows and makes them transparent to some degree.
 * Shadow Regeneration: Damien can heal minor injuries with the use of the shadows. This is actually an adaptation of shadow absorption, he uses the shadows to absorb the pain and injury into another dimension, this causes his body to return to the state prior to the injury.

This allows him to combat with even Gods and can even force upon himself the powers of his own father.
