Personality: Manolo is a shameless flirt. He come from Old Money, and he thinks he's All That. He's passionate, adventurous, and has a disregard for the rules. He likes to dance on the edge, see what he can seduce and charm his way out of. He thinks a kind word and a sexy smile will get him out of almost anything, with the added bonus of a good fashion sense, sex appeal, fluent Spanish, and a day dream smile.

Appearance: Manolo is gorgeous and oozes charm. He stands and six foot 3 with a very muscular frame from years of working out. His skin is a lovely bronze with a hint of gold in certain light. His facial features are stunning, looking like something one would have seen on an ancient statue in the past, strong and masculine. His eyes are a deep dark brown, Manolo's hair is the same shade, worn long and carefree.

Strengths: Manolo is a vampire, therefore has the gift of immortality, along with enhanced strength and senses. He's also a lot smarter than he looks. He appears to be just the flashy playboy with nothing to him but looks and money, when he's constantly alert and on guard and listening to what goes on around him. He has the ability to knock a weaker person out with a mind blast, and his telepathy range is quite far. Manolo is a good underdog, or dark horse, swooping in when least expected.

Weaknesses: Sex appeal is Manolo's biggest weakness. He's not fussed in the slightest, male or female, he will flirt with what he can get, and it can be his downfall. Manolo can be easily seduced. He hates pain and would much rather snitch than be confronted with scars or any damage to his beautiful form.

History: Manolo's father made his money in Mexico City, through rising to the status of Drug Lord. Salvadore Blackthorn was into everything illegal that you could think of - and he knew how to work it, as long as knowing the right people and how to pay off the cops. He wanted the best for his family, but the best came at a price. Manolo didn't really care where the money came from, as long as it kept coming. When he was eight his mother moved them from Mexico to Winthrope. The Blackthorns were part of a known family line with beauty and money, and that helped them fit in. Manolo followed his brothers and sisters and attended the Ashwood Acadmey to make his parents proud of him.
