Julian is the only child of Lord Damian and Lady Madeline Cagadhain. Cast out by his father, Julian was raised by his mother until her death around his twentieth birthday.
His mother trained him in the healing arts, and greatly discouraged from any and all forms of fighting. After her death, Julian set out for Father Ezekiel's realm, where he was set upon by bandits (and saved by Mekana). During his stay with Father Ezekiel, he began to fall in love with Mekana, not knowing she was engaged. On the ride back to the Angel's training halls, he realized just how deeply he'd fallen for her.
He confessed his feeling to Mekana, only to find himself at the mercy of Rafael's irritation (he's extremely protective of Mekana). When told by Mekana he should give up his feelings, he told her he would sooner walk through hell barefoot. His only request from her was a single kiss, which he still savors as her most precious gift to him.
During the years to follow, he was duped by a Demon woman into fathering two children, one of which he took to the safety of the halls (Angela). Mekana offered to raise the child, something Julian tried to object to, knowing that Rafael wouldn't take kindly to the thought. In the end, Mekana won the arguement and raised little Angela until Rafael returned from the wars.
In an effort to protect Mekana, Julian shielded himself away from her, which inadvertantly turned Angela against her godmother. Though he tried to convince Angela that Mekana wasn't hurting him, the child began to harbour a severe hatred for the woman who had helped raise her.
He began studying the effects of the hybrid condition known as "Blood poisoning" when Mekana began to exibit the early signs, eventually giving up some of his life energy to her to buy him some time to find her cure. Upon finding the cure, he tested it on himself, before giving it to Mekana and her newborn son, Kalen.
Unable to control Angela's anger, he was forced to stand by and watch as Mekana and Kalen were hunted down and sent off to be destroyed, unable to come forward to protect the woman he loved. After Rafael managed to rescue Kalen, he offered Rafael his mother's home. In his mind it was his own way for apologizing to the older Angel for not being able to protect Mekana.
During the years Mekana was missing, Julian and Kalen developed a close friendship, with Kalen often coming to Julian for scholarly advice, as well as to learn how to control his growing kinetic powers. Julian began training in secret around this time, developing superior skills in marksmanship and unarmed combat.
His dual race was eventually discovered by his daughter, who threatened to expose him as well. To protect her, as well as his own hide, he went into a self imposed exile, adopting a human persona as a doctor.
He completed his schooling at some of the finest universities, and eventually opened up his own practice in Oregon, moving during the 20th century to the town of Tidewater. He remains one of the few who knows how to treat blood poisoning, and is sought out by many hybrids during their time of need.
Around ten years before the events in Memory of Prophecy Julian found himself suddenly caring for a a young child Vampire. Her mind shattered, he took her in and became her guardian, developing a potion that would allow her to look the age of a young woman.
Though many sessions, he discovered that she was one of Kalen's five children, all of whom were believed dead. He still couldn't figure out which child, but upon that discovery, he became even more protective of the girl.
