Vaughn was left with a penthouse and a large cut of his father's fortune when the old man died-- enough for him to live comfortably for years. However, uncomfortable with receiving money from a man he hates, Vaughn has taken up acting as a career (instead of going into business as he had planned), having found that he has a natural talent for the art. He is seen as on of the up and coming stars.

Personality

A survivor at heart, Vaughn is not so much proud as he is arrogant-- overconfident in his ability to make it in the world. He's clever and cunning, cruel and cutthroat, and considers himself stronger for it. The man's got a way with words that few others can match, and he certainly knows how to get his way. He's selfish and rather opportunistic, and he's not afraid to admit it, either, often applying it in his day-to-day life.

Vaughn inherently dislikes authority, being an independent, every-man-for-himself sort of guy, but he is most certainly not a rebel without a cause.

Despite his humble roots, Vaughn has a love for the finer things in life, and hates being reminded that he was once a poor, mud-streaked urchin; he sees it as a weakness, having been picked on as a child for it. However, he isn't willing to dip into the enormous sum left to him by his father, instead relying on his increasingly high-profile acting career to fund his somewhat lavish lifestyle. After all, he learned early on in life that money is what makes the world go round.

Vaughn is highly mistrustful of others, and is a thoroughly cautious man. He hates getting hurt, and if he's learned anything, it's that other people can hurt him easily. He's built up brick walls around himself, and they won't be easy to tear down. Vaughn does, however, have a soft spot for underdogs and runts, and keeps an small, ugly stray who is blind in one eye, though the dog is nameless and often referred to as Dog.

History

A by-blow who was the product of a brief, but torrid affair, Vaughn Granville was raised with the mindset that his father was an awful man, a womanizer who had seduced his mother and then left her alone with the burden of raising Vaughn. He grew up resenting him, hating him for the offenses he had committed against his mother and him. Any attempt at reconciliation was rebutted, and his father's letters were always returned unopened by his mother.

As his mother was too proud to accept any sort of help from his father, she struggled to make ends meet-- there were times when they went hungry, and Vaughn was never comfortable in their cramped apartment, but it was life, even if it was a poor one. He vowed that he'd never live like that as long as he could help it, and therefore began working early on, eventually becoming employed as an extra on a movie set, and moving his way up from there. Life was good.

After his mother finally succumbed to illness, he met his father in person for the first time at her funeral-- though he hadn't known at the time that at the time. There had only been an odd, older gentleman who claimed to be a childhood friend of his mother's. The two had had a friendly chat about her, and then the stranger had departed soon after.

A few years later, at twenty-three and just beginning to come into his fame, Vaughn was contacted by his father's lawyer, who notified him of his death, and that he had been left money from his will.
