• Overall history[/color] | Duke Mason was born in Las Vegas in 1948, his father, Robert Mason was a cop and his mother Nancy Mason worked at one of the local casinos. The first few years of growing up were very uneventful as Duke grew up in the city where he played sports, made friends, and had a pretty normal childhood, nothing really special happened. When he turned 13 though things started to change as he when Duke grew up he started getting more anger and violent prone, his father tried to calm his son by putting him boxing classes to take out extra rage out. However this only helped to make Duke a better fighter at school and was known as one of the toughest kids in his middle school. However Duke wasn’t a bully far from it, Duke never picked on kids smaller than him and rarely kids that were his own size, no Duke went for the big boys. Duke wanted to prove that he was the toughest just like his dad.

This mindset got Duke into his first real set of troubles as he joined the local gang in his neighborhood, the 8th Street Pretty Boys. When Duke first joined with the gang they were responsible for nothing more than just pulling mostly harmless pranks and maybe stealing some candy or something from a convenient store, they mostly just looked tough more than anything else. At first Duke accepted being part of this gang as he liked to have the feeling of being tough but one day while in a convenient store stealing some candy a member of the mafia walked in with a baseball bat and hit the clerk as hard as he could. The clerk begged for mercy and finally opened up the safe and gave the man in the mafia all the money he had. As this man walked out he handed Duke a twenty dollar bill and told him to not say anything. Duke was speechless at first but then he started thinking and knew that’s what he wanted, the power to do whatever he wanted. So Duke got tired of how his gang was ran and knew what he had to do.

Duke went up to the guy in charge of their gang and without as much as saying “hi” to him, Duke tightened his fist and gave him a right hook from hell. The punch knocked the kid out and put him into the hospital for six months before he could be relapsed. So with the leader gone Duke took charge and the gang started taking more of aggressive role in the neighborhood; robbing stores, destroying public property, and even started a cigarette and alcohol scheme selling it to teenagers for a high price. Soon enough Duke’s little gang was heard about by the mafia in town. They saw Duke’s gang as way to use kids for their own benefit. The same man that Duke saw that one day bet the crap out of the clerk approached Duke when he was sixteen about taking over his operation and giving him a chance to join them and make some real cash. Duke knew right away that he wanted to join up with the mafia.

For the first year everything was going great for Duke he was still in charge of the alcohol and cigarette scheme but was now making more as the mafia offered protection from local police and gave a new market. Now the part about the police was true except for one cop and that was Duke’s father. When Duke was in his senior year of high school his father caught him trying to sell cigarettes to a group of thirteen year old kids. His father hit hard on the head and put Duke in his squad car and drove him home. Duke wasn’t sure how his dad was going to react to Duke’s new life. So when the two of them talked Duke yelled at his dad for being a coward and not taking money from the mafia like the rest of the police force. Finally after some harsh words from Duke, his dad challenged him to a fight, the deal being that if Duke won he could do whatever he wanted and if he lost he would enlist in the Army just like he did for WWII. Duke laughed at his dad and accepted the deal. The two went out back and Duke’s dad gave Duke the beating of his lifetime.

The next day Duke was on his way to basic training. When Duke entered the army the Vietnam War was going on and so when Duke was done with his basic training he was sent over to Vietnam. At first Duke wasn’t used to the brutality of war however after his first year was over he became in love with. To put it simply you know those stories of when soldiers go crazy and start killing everyone who isn’t American well that was Duke he would go into villages and massacre anyone without any hesitation, to him killing was simple be the best or die like the rest. Soon he honed his skills to the point that he was a sniper and picking off people like it was nothing, he stayed in Vietnam for six years as part of a sniper team. On one mission into heavily fortified enemy territory a CIA observer was along. Still the mission was pretty simple provide find and kill the enemy leader. So after three days of waiting the chance presented itself only to get a message to cancel the assassination attempt. Duke ignored it and shot the man clean through the head. The CIA operative that was with the team saw the enjoyment in Duke’s eyes as he pulled the trigger killing the man. The man than offered Duke a choice of either going back and facing court marital for killing the man or joining him in and learn the art of torture and interrogation. Duke just smiled and shook the man’s with a happy grin.

For the next two years Duke worked through the CIA interrogating prisoners of war. He became known as the Angel of Pain as Duke was a quick study and learned how much a man could take before blacking out. Duke was one of the most effective interrogators in the Vietnam War. Finally after being in Vietnam for eight years he was discharged from the army. He returned to Vegas this time even being more vicious than before. He returned to the mafia looking for his chance to get the power that he always wanted. However they looked down at him as while Duke had been in Vietnam his dad had taken over the organized crime department and was making trouble for the mafia in town. Duke knew how to get back in with the mafia. One day he went home to find his dad in the house. His dad had aged well for his age but Duke knew now after everything he had been through he was the man. So when his dad welcomed him in and put his hand out to shake his sons in hopes that he had grown up finally, only instead to have a fist slam into his gut and then having another one punch him in the face.
Duke than brought his dad to the mafia as a present for him to join up. However instead of the warm response that he thought he was going to get they instead got Duke’s dad up and asked him what he was up to. Duke explained that he thought if he brought his dad to them that they would accept him in to their organization and make him a made man. Instead they laughed at him and told him that he would never be a made man. So as they walked away laughing at him, only to hear a gun shot. They turned around to see Duke having shot his father in the head. He then turned his gun on two of the three men taking them out with ease. The third man tried to run but Duke clipped his leg with a bullet. He took the man to the back room and using the skills from Vietnam extracted all the information about the mafia that he needed. He went to war with them cursing his father for being so weak.

For the next three months both the police and the mafia hunted him down. During this time Duke put it upon himself to kill and torture any of those who dared get in his way. Finally he had a final showdown with members of the mafia as they figured out where he was. He took out seven of the men after them when he was finally shot through the head. At this moment something special occurred, first he finally felt what he had been doing over the years and secondly he was transformed into something more evil than before. He was made into a darklighter.

He was trained by a darklighter named Salek in the ways of using his powers and what his goals were. After studying with Salek for five years he finally set off on his own to hunt down whitelighters. However he did make a few stops in Vegas as he killed off members of the mafia that had hunted him down. Finally after killing them all he made his way to the west coast in California. In the 80’s he hired himself out to different demons trying to gain more and more power for him to use. However after working for a demon he was given a mortal job to work as a stock broker. At first Duke didn’t know but soon he found the pleasure of crushing mortal’s spirits when they lost money or the lust they saw when they made money. It pleased him to see them in so much torment and how much control he had. After the 80’s were over he had a reputation as being a cruel killer and a cruller stock broker. As the90’s happened he left the world of being a stock broker and instead formed his own private army. He was formed a mercenary company called Dark Fire.

So he owned and operated the company using it to spread terror around the world usually doing missions that most would consider to be to “morally” wrong. However his company was bought out by a upper level demon and knowing he didn’t have the power to stop it gave in and sold the company to the demons. When the millennium started up he had money and some power but he still wanted more. He started looking at prophecies and consulted with magical sensors to find something to make him more powerful than any others. So after searching for awhile he knew about the events of charmed ones, which relived him than he heard rumors of a new nexus. So with that knowledge he moved to San Diego to find the power that he has always wanted the Nexus.
