He likes to think of himself as a jerk of sorts and is a little cocky. However after he gets some drinks into him that changes quickly.
Where he is normally reserved (verging on old fashioned)
when it comes to relationships, alcohol will turn him into a hornball.
Kalin is a French-born vampire who is over 400 years old.
He was favorite of Belle Morte for his eyes, and, like many vampires of Belle Morte's line, Kalin was selected for his almost perfect mortal beauty.
He became the Master Vampire of St. Louis after he killed Nikolaos; the circumstances of his arrival in St. Louis and, indeed, in the United States itself were to escape Belle Morte's court with the help of Augustine.
Kalin daytime lair is the sub-basement of the Circus of the Damned. As owner of the "JC Corporation," he also owns and runs Guilty Pleasures, The Laughing Corpse, and Dance Macabre, as well as other clubs.

Character]
Kalin is extraordinarily seductive, both with regard to his mental
abilities and conventional seduction. He is superb at playing "vampire politics," and can be surprisingly manipulative and ruthless when necessary.

Biographical summary]
Kalin is approximately four hundred years old.
He was born to a French peasant family in the seventeenth century, and was astoundingly beautiful even as a child.
He was selected to be the whipping boy for a noble child of his age. He was raised in a noble household and educated as a noble, but was severely beaten in the place of the young noble whenever he misbehaved.
He still has scars on his back from that experience.
As a young man, Kalin was killed and raised as a vampire by Lissette, a vampire in Belle Morte's bloodline.
Kalin spent the next five years in the court of Julian, Lissette's master, sleeping with whomever Julian chose, unable to say no while in the grip of the ardeur.
Later, Kalin joined Belle Morte's court as one of her favorites, remaining there for several years.
At some time during the seventeenth century, Kalin left Belle Morte's court and traveled with Asher and Asher's human servant, Julianna.
The three travelled together as a ménage à trois for twenty years, ending with Kalin's mother's death. (Kalin also states that at this time, he and Asher were "masters of comparable power," which suggests that he matured remarkably early to have become a master within his own mother's lifetime).
This period ended when Kalin temporarily left the other two to attend his mother's funeral, returning too late to prevent Julianna's death and Asher's torture at the hands of human captors working for the church.
Asher was disfigured using holy water, and Julianna was burnt at stake for being a witch.Kalin has stated that he "humbled" himself to rescue Asher, agreeing to one hundred years in Belle Morte's service in return for her help saving Asher.
After rejoining the Council's service, Kalin was imprisoned alone in a cross-wrapped coffin for two years, unable to feed his ardeur. Belle Morte also used him as a sort of prostitute for more powerful vampires, presumably both before and after his travels with Asher (He refers to himself during this period as a "catamite," but it appears that he was provided to both male and female vampires).
At some point, Belle Morte gave Kalin to Seraphina.
After approximately 100 years of service, Kalin left Belle Morte's court for an unprecedented second time.
