The Good Old Days
Nothing was really special about Bomber in his early years. He was brought up in a two-parent household, which consisted of the normal bickering and normal sibling relations. He got average grades in school.
Seeing his older brother get in trouble with the law, and his older sister marry a preacher, he didn't want to fall into that life, so he chose to go into the Army.
Just before he left, he married a girl who claimed she was pregnant but eventually miscarried.
Army Life
His grades weren't stupendous on the ASFAB tests, so they put him in regular infantry. After boot, he decided that he wanted to go into flying. Giving him tests there, they found he excelled, and graduated top of his flight school class.
He trained further for fighter helicopter pilot, assigned to a squad in Desert Storm. It was there they called him "Bomber" instead of Mickey, because he was (and is) able to shoot and destroy things at a distance without any sort of guidance whatsoever. As a hobby, he took up shooting, and entered many competitions, gaining lanyards and awards.
After the Army
When he arrived home on leave once, he was greeted by a baby boy that he knew wasn't his, due to his almond-shaped eyes. He arrived on leave a year later, to see another baby boy, again, not his, as his wife had refused to have sex with him claiming it hurt.
He was tempted to sign up for another tour, but his wife talked him into staying. He signed up for classes at the local university. However, he was with her for three months - she was again noticeably pregnant - before he left, just getting into a car and abandoning her.
Mr. Cobb and the Iron Horsemen
The next place he showed up was in New York City as a helicopter pilot for hire. A man did pick him up, and asked him to work with him. This man was Mr. Cobb. Bomber left the mainland to work in the Isles as his personal chauffeur, of any vehicle.
Cobb gave something to Bomber, something that made him stronger, faster and more potent than a human. His own vitae, his own blood, and Cobb "Blood Bound" Bomber, making him his devoted servant.
Bomber was given the task of spying on the Iron Horsemen, a motorcycle group that allegedly consisted of werewolves. He easily slipped into the group, as a 1% outlaw group has the same fraternal ties as any infantry platoon, except they are deadlier. However, he was found out by the leader's Ol' Lady, and was tortured to give up who had sent him.
He was then treated as "keep your friends close, and your enemies closer", a Hang On, never rising above prospect. However, something else came along...
The Unlife
A mysterious man offered Bomber eternal life. At first, he balked from it. Then he accepted and was Embraced as a vampire by this mysterious Brujah - then left on his own.
At present, Bomber divides his time between managing a goth club named "The Rack" - meant to be a mousetrap for Sabbat and Camarilla alike, though it's too obvious even to them. It's ended up being Bomber's personal "herd".
OOC Notes
-Brujah are meant to be the most easily angered of the group. Because Bomber never really was proud or didn't care about jokes about himself, his frenzy rate is +1 instead of +2.
-He often doesn't know his own strength.
-Still prefers to shoot rather than grapple.
-Still rides his Indian motorcycle.
-Although Elder by blood, he is not by design.
