Background:
Stringer Bell grey up in the inner city of Chicago. Born into a poor family surrounded by poorer families in a system that doesn’t care about them. Most kids grow up dreaming of what they want for Christmas, where they’re going on vacation next and who they’re going to be when they grow. Stringer and kids like him hoped that there would be food on the table, that his dad would finally come back with those smokes he left to buy all those years ago and whoever mom was bringing home wouldn’t hurt them. He quickly learned that he could fill his hungry belly by running little errands. Store runs for the guys that ran the corners to start with progressing to keeping looking out for the 5-0 and rival runners. He was a smart kid and he kept his eyes open, always on the look out for an opportunity.

The scraps were good in the beginning, but being small, quick and nimble he could squeeze into places adults couldn’t reach and he helped out on more than a couple of heists. He love the thrill of it and it was more money than he had seen, though he didn’t realise how little his share was. He got better and better at it. He was a natural, there was little that could stop him, locks and safes all opened before him.

Skill can only get you so far and eventually his luck ran out. One night things went south and he ended up in hand cuffs. Caught at the scene red handed. The case was open and shut. As a young man that gave him his first taste of prison. Prison though turned out be a great place to make friends. He was tough and knew how to get his way. He made friends right as he got paroled, he was offered a job. The money was too good to pass up. All he had to do was grab some papers.

It was a tough job. The security systems were like nothing he had ever seen before. Stringer though made it past all that. He got into the place and into the safe all the way till the papers. Triumphant he turned to leave but the sight before him was the most terrifying he had ever seen.

He didn’t return with the papers, he didn’t return at all. Held by the Nosferatu who he tried to steal from. He was punished and questioned. The monster had powers over him he couldn’t comprehend. He ended up feeling devoted to the monster and told him all. As it turned out the Nosfteratu he stole from tremendously angry with Stringer, but he was also tremendously impressed that the young man made it through his security. He have Stringer a choice, go back and kill the man who sent him or die. Stringer was a survivor and did what needed doing. It was the first time he killed but not the last. The Nosferatu ghouled him and he continued in his service for many years. One night the Nosferatu told him it was time. Time for what he began to ask....
