RUNNING WITH WOLVES

Conceived in Rome and born in Manhattan at the Bellevue Hospital Center, Crimson grew up in the strict yet family-oriented and humbling environment that came with most Italian-American families in the era of the late 1950s.  His father was a humble and hard-working man, but he did not stem from a family stricken with poverty.

Family riches involved in shady investments and sleazy business agreements were often the root cause of many of the problems in Crimson's homefront as an adolescent.  Entering school, Crimson immediately began to impress teachers, parents and family members alike with his grading marks, consistent maturity level for his age and intellectual talent.  Going into the 1st grade, he was enrolled in the Hunter College Elementary School, a school for intellectually gifted and talented children.

He continued to excel throughout his ventures through adolescence and his teenage years.  Stemming from a religious family of Roman Catholics, Crimson was able to successfully walk the line between remaining vigilant toward his faith and creating his presence in the scientific community. He developed interests in mechanical and electrical engineering, architecture, astronomy, physics and advanced mathematics.  At 16, he met his "high school sweetheart" through an outreach for troubled children problem:  Ris`ika, a native of Russia naturalized in the United States, who was a ballerina dancer who came from a very broken home comprised of all different sorts of physical and mental abuse, neglect and negligence.  Drug use and distribution was prevalent among her family, along with all sorts of other criminal activities.  She often sought safety and comfort in Crimson's family, but being the strong woman that she inherently was, there were many times that she did not seek help for dangerous situations.

Being of the same age, with Crimson being just over a month older than Ris`ika, they married straight out of school at the age of 17.  Given the fact that Crimson's family enjoyed the life of luxury due to their wealth, Crimson sought to move out on his own with his wife as soon as possible. By this time, Crimson via his father had already made several investments that secured wealth in his own name, which allowed Ris`ika to blossom with her higher education in college while Crimson attended University.  Majoring in architectural engineering with two minors, one in astrophysics and the other in mechanical engineering, Crimson achieved his Bachlor's and Master's Degrees in record time.

As New York became a prototype for skyscraper construction in the late 1970s and the early 1980s, Crimson interned with several different construction companies.  With the discovery of his gifts and talents, he was ushered through his internships in a hurry, ending up being on the team of artists that help construct the Javits Convention Center in New York (construction period: 1979-1986).

Being away from her family and the dangers that surrounded them seemed to turn Ris`ika into an entirely different person, someone able to pursue her passions in art, theater, acting and dancing.  She painted regularly, attended college for acting and art, and opened her own ballerina school.  All seemed to be doing great.  At the age of 24 in 1981, Crimson and Ris`ika Caetani became parents to a baby boy: Damien Caetani.  3 years later, in 1984, Ris`ika gave birth to Vivica-Anne Caetani.  At this point in time, life was good for the Caetani family.  In 1985, Crimson's mother developed a very aggressive form of ovarian cancer that led to her death early that year.  Later during that year, stricken with the grief of his wife, Anthony Caetani passed on and left the Caetani inheritance in Crimson's name.

In late 1987, Ris`ika's brother fell upon hard times and sought shelter within his sister's family.  Crimson and Ris`ika opened their house to him so that he could get back on his feet.  Little did either of them know that he was part of a sizeable drug ring that dealt in heroin and cocaine.  In actuality he was seeking safety in his sister's house, hoping that the men who he had borrowed a large amount of money from wouldn't be able to find him in the upper-class living area of upstate New York near Syracuse that Crimson and Ris`ika lived in.

Succumbing to old habits with the help of her brother, Ris`ika began to dabble in the usage of both drugs, mainly heroin in early 1988.  Throughout that year, she became much more prevalent in her usage.  Given that she had married into the wealth of the Caetani family, she began to use that as leverage to begin a distribution ring of her own.  Her main goal was to ensure that she had a steady supply and that her brother was taken care of. 
Things began to take a turn for the worse in late 1988, as territorial concerns escalated into feuds.  Ris`ika's reach was growing, and the existing population of distributors wanted no part of it.  In the spring of 1989, May 5th, Ris`ika was murdered in her own home in front of a 9-year-old Damien and a 5-year-old Vivica-Anne.  They were both saved by the presence of police in the nearby vicinity, who responded in time to ensure the life of the children.  Ris`ika was unable to be revived and succumbed to her injuries.  Her official cause of death was a severed aorta via GSW.

The family was devastated, both children and Crimson.  Crimson immediately set Damien and Vivica-Anne up in therapy to assist them with this horrid tragedy that they both bore witness to.  Meanwhile, stricken with grief and heartbreak, Crimson plunged into a deep depression that consumed him.  Revenge was his primary focus, and on 13 October 1989, he got it.  Having done his research to ensure that this matter wouldn't be brought up by the
justice department, Crimson took extra care in disposing Andrew MacDonald.  His missings person case has since closed as cold.  People taking off and disappearing was commonplace in New York.

In order to clean his slate and get a fresh start, Crimson set to move his family away from New York entirely.  Purchasing a home very close to the St. Mary of the Angels Cathedral in Chicago, he set his focus on his faith, his work and most of all:  his children.  After long deliberations with the current Bishop of the Church, Crimson was accepted as a candidate for priesthood and entered seminary.  Completing his seminary in record time,
a feat that Crimson was accustomed to doing, he was ordained on 20APR1990 and accepted into the church as a full-fledged priest.  One of the driving forces of his acceptance was the fact that he lived so close to the church, and he had no issue with financially supporting his family.

Several years later, in 2002 while serving as both father and Father (to his children of his widowed marriage and to his children of the church), Crimson added another to his humble family.  Darrien Silvera and her father were dedicated members of the church, but after a camping trip that created a dangerous encounter, Darrien's father ended up losing his life - and Darrien herself was stricken with what was first believed to be a curse.  The curse of lycanthropy.

Over the course of these last several years, Crimson has raised Damien, Vivica-Anne and Darrien to the very best of his abilities -- giving them a life that they could feel comfortable, secure and healthy within.  They were growing up and coming into their own without too much of a problem, and soon were out on their own.

After securing a decent amount of land zoned for business in the outskirts of Denver in 2014, down in Westminster, Crimson set out once again to move across the country.  He opened a body and mechanic shop (Caetani Autoworks), an architecture company (Caetani Construction), and was inducted into the Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church as a priest, serving the people with taking confessions, offering guidance along with hundreds of
other methods to help those who needed it most.  Crimson was an expert in time management, and since his children had all grown up by this time, he didn't have much trouble with managing his businesses, his investments and assets alongside his work in the church.

The year is now 2016, Crimson has successfully raised 3 children and provided comfort, confession and help to hundreds of people.  He raised a lycanthrope, whom he adopted, from the age of 15 and two of his own children since birth.
