Ezra Hale

Ezra Hale biography Ezra was raised in the neighborhood of Tremont in the West Bronx of New York City. It wasn’t the friendliest neighborhood, but Ezra made the best of it. He was the middle child, trouble already lingering in his blood. As he was brought up with his two half-sisters: Delaney and Georgie Hale. They spent their afternoons eating TV dinners and playing in parks before the sun went down. Leah Hale and Ezra’s step dad had a lot of trouble after they had their first child, Delaney. They constantly got in arguments about money and employment. One night after a heated fight, Leah Hale went into a bar and met a mysterious man. There was something intriguing about him that drew her in. She lost all train of thought like he was ecstasy. The two hooked up, consequences deteriorating from Leah’s brain. On November 8th, 2004, Ezra Brandon Hale was born and Leah could never find the man again. The birth of Ezra fabricated tension between his step dad and Leah, and Ezra was a living strain in their relationship. However, Ezra’s step dad never treated him wrongly. He raised him up as if he were his own son and taught him useful things. He showed him the love and affection that his true father never did. His step dad was a successful accountant, and constantly helped Ezra with his schoolwork. While ADHD and dyslexia was a huge set back in his education, his step dad taught him to not let that hinder his potential. So, Ezra grew to be very sophisticated and intelligent for his age. But...that didn’t mean he made good decisions. As a kid, Ezra had some anger management issues. He constantly got into fights and vandalized. He was always jumping around schools. During his first year of middle school, he was close to going to juvie and being charged with assault when threw a chair at a student. Ezra was troubled, and Leah Hale wondered if it had to do with her family’s history of mental health. But she never consulted a therapist since they had very little money for her own. Later, Leah decided on homeschooling for Ezra. They were a happy family for quite some time. Ezra lived comfortably with his siblings, his relationship with his eldest sister being strongest. It was hard to say goodbye when she moved to Pennsylvania with her girlfriend. Things seemed to worsen, after she had gone. Ezra’s step dad had been discovered cheating on his mother with a twenty year old and they soon divorced. Ezra was both shocked and angry, because he had trusted his step-dad more than anyway. So, they were left with a pile of bills while his step-dad ran off with his new girlfriend. Because of this, money was tight and Ezra began to get involved with some bad people. He was constantly gambling in underground casinos and selling drugs on the streets. Ezra got big wads of cash from this, but it was also very dangerous. With his sharp tongue and clever mind, he outsmarted the oldest of gamblers to the point where they grew grudges. One night after he came home beaten and bloody, Leah Hale was horrified. She told him that his biological father was into the same things, and the reason why he wasn’t present was because he was shot. Of course, this wasn’t true. Ezra’s father was actually a Greek god and Leah was only lying to protect him. So, after that, Ezra distanced himself from that lifestyle. At least for awhile... After the split, his mother’s mental illness began to worsen. She had been diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder at a young age, her side of the family having a history with the disorder. Her episodes were usually kept mild with medication. But soon, everything seemed to get out of hand. She was constantly flip-flopping between depressive and manic. Because of this, she was getting fired from jobs. One month she’d be happy, up at five am making eggs and bacon. In the next month, she wouldn’t get out of bed and there’d be dishes all over the place. Ezra did everything in his power to take care of her and his younger sister. So, he got back into gambling and dealing. One night, Ezra was cornered in an alleyway by a monster and was almost killed. Shaken up, he spent a night away from his family and with a casino friend he trusted. However, he regretted doing such a thing. When Ezra returned to his apartment the next morning, he found his mother dead with a makeshift noose around her neck. This is when his older sister stepped back in to their lives. As a twenty year old, she took care of Ezra and their youngest sister. That was until Ezra was summoned to Camp Half-Blood by a saytr and where he remains till this day, as a child of Erebus. The god and personification of darkness. By the time he was fourteen he was eventually claimed and a year-round camper. He only returns home on the rare occasion that his older sister is home. Personality Personality details: Ezra is very open to change, and tends to embrace it. He's an observer and uses that tool to climb the social hierarchy. But he doesn't have very good intentions, since he happens to be very manipulative. He thinks with his head, rather than his heart, finding a motive that comes out of every relationship he forms. Because of this, it's difficult for him to form friendships and even more so, to form romantic relationships. Because of the way he grew up, he puts himself first because it's the only way he believes he can survive. Especially, in a world of monsters and greedy deities.
