fears & secrets
He's terrified of being given a charge, the thought of having to look out for someone other than himself is something of a borderline phobia.
his secret is that he's garnered himself a reputation for betrayal, perhaps playing true to his namesake. there's a reason he doesn't take on charges & his mother's death was not accidental.

personality
some people would venture to call him a saint, others would be just as quick to call him a sinner. and maybe he was both, a volatile combination of both good and evil, coexisting to create what seemed to be a truly unique being. but through everything, there could be no masking his charm. in a very strong sense, he was an actor. he had grown adept at self control, and he had become very organized.
he would play true to his namesake though, as he's garnered a notorious reputation for betrayal, so to put it lightly, many would find that he is untrustworthy. he is very self sufficient, and most of what he does, and how he operates is to benefit himself, and very few others. he is selfish, he is greedy, but in spite of all of that, he knows his limits and his boundaries, and then some. He is not uncouth, however, and he does have manners. He can be as polite as the next gentleman, and he was skilled at being completely two-faced.
he has the potential to be overwhelmingly protective, though. despite his misgivings and his cynical mindset, and despite the fact that he could easily be considered a colossal douche bag, he does have the potential to show favor. however that happens is unknown, however.

behind the mask
guardian: essentially, the charming man is very much a demon. maybe not in the head spinning, possession to exorcism kind of way. he's considered such by way of alignment, the aforementioned being dark. as such, he has a pull towards those of the darker persuasion, though it isn't entirely impossible for him to show favor towards others, just less common.
as a guardian, he is a healer. he has garnered the ability of pain transference. as a guardian, he is also significantly stronger and faster; and along with healing others, he heals at a rapid pace.
whenever he does have a charge, he is capable of sensing where s/he is, especially when they are in trouble. he's become adept at tracking, both his charge, and others.

history
his parents, salvatore and marguerite grimaldi, immigrated to boulogne-billancourt, in paris, france, from the small principality of monaco some time before ezra was born. by that time, his older brother was already two years old by the time ezra was brought into the world. from the very beginning it was made quite obvious that he was different. he was a very quite child, he was always the one on the proverbial sidelines. He took an interest in the simpler things, while his older brother was the one that took to exploring. ezra was always following his elder brother around, it had been what he was good at, playing the part of shadow. it had always been like that, and being born into a state of uproar, it provided many an opportunity to observe. he was ten when his father packed up and the family once more emmigrated from paris and settled in a small province outside london. It was 1535 when they settled in england, just a few months before his younger brother turned three. It was two years after king henry the eighth took the ill fated anne boleyn as his wife and queen, and london and most of england was in a state of political unrest.
it was an unruly time, there were riots in the streets of london, riots of people protesting anne's rule and coronation, and through all of it, ezra seemed to feed off of it. her marveled in the turmoil felt by others and as different as it made him seem and feel, he never once questioned it. he was fifteen when he first started to take notice of what he was, his ability to help others without realizing it, his ability to locate people grew more and more profound. it was around this time that his mother and father sat him, and his brothers down, and told them of what they were, of what they all were. and each grimaldi boy had a different reaction. his elder brother remained indifferent, he was unfazed by this new found knowledge. his younger brother was delighted, overjoyed at the prospect of taking care of others. ezra, well. ezra had a much darker outlook. he was drawn to having that much ability, and the prospect of living forever, of experiencing everything. he wanted everything for himself, and this knowledge proved no different. it was made clear fairly quickly what his intent was, and how quickly the clouded boy was able to be coaxed to one side, it was almost shocking.
he was twenty when his parents died. his mother was the victim of an ill fated attack, done by a pocket of hunters, and while it was not done physically by ezra's hand, there had been rumors of his involvement. his father was a simple minded man, one who married for love instead of money, needless to say, he did not take his wife's death all too well. a few short days after her death, he arranged for his own. from that point on, the three grimaldi boys pledged to stay together, the two none the wiser of ezra's darker tendencies his possible involvement. for the next handful of decades, it was quiet enough. ezra stayed under the proverbial radar, he took charges and dropped them when they stopped being beneficial to him, he grew more and more distant from his brothers but still kept seeking them out. he became involved in a handful of organizations, both known and underground and for the longest time, it worked for him.
it wasn't until the early 1900's that the three boys even came to america, but they made the most of it. they spent quite a while traveling around, inhabiting a number of places and moving on when too much attention was drawn to them. in the early winter months of 2013, the three migrated to fairlawn, virginia, a rumored "watering hole" for supernatural creatures and humans alike. he and his brothers were intent on making this place their home, and ezra became something of a personal vendetta case for his brothers in some feeble attempt to "rehabilitate" him, and pull him away from the dark. needless to say, it hasn't been very successful.
