Background: Lawrence Christopher Aday, Esq., was a corporate lawyer in Boston during the late seventies and early eighties. In 1982, his wife, Katherine, died of breast cancer, leaving him to raise their two daughters, Lauren Katherine and Laetitia Marie. In 1987, he was downsized from his position as corporate counsel and lived off his investments, until the junk bond market fell apart, and he was left nearly destitute. He moved his family up the coast to Sanctuary, Maine, eventually getting a job as a Public Defender.
Lawrence Aday is very aware of appearances. When he was a corporate lawyer he was considered pompous, until the tragedies and hardships of his life knocked down his inflated self ego. Yet, still he insists on playing the game of putting on airs of importance. Even as a Public Defender, he always wears a designer suit, drives a Jaguar, and uses the title Esquire at the end of his name. This show of puffery is his way of protecting his daughters, who are his one true care in life. He feels that if he maintains a high position in society, then his daughters will be protected by the social mechanisms that inevitably favor the social elites. But in reality, no one really buys his act, and the daughters do more to take care of him than vice versa.
However, despite his personality flaws, Lawrence Aday is a shrewd strategist and a brilliant litigator. Unfortunately, his skills were often overshadowed when his elitist appearances caused conflicts with his criminal clients. Then he ran across an obscure and little used statute, entitled the Supernatural Civil Rights Act of 1967. OK, vampires and weres had civil rights now, but what good was that without a lawyer willing to fight their causes? Vampires and weres had managed on their own just fine for millenia. They probably could not even comprehend the value of modern civil rights litigation. No warrantless coffin searches and seizures. No stakings without due process.
Restraining orders against silver bullet shooting maniacs. The possibilities were endless, so he quit his job as a Public Defender and went into private practice, specializing in the new field of Supernatural Law.
