Tariq Diallo first saw the light of day during the heyday of the Sosso Kingdom, which ruled much of West Africa in the twelfth century. He was a warrior and a member of the personal guard of King Sumanguru, the last ruler of the Sosso Kingdom before it fell to the fearsome Sundiata Keita, Founder of the Mali Empire. On the run from the forces of the Mali Conqueror Sundiata Keita after King Sumanguru was defeated, Tariq Diallo hid in the Bubinga wilderness, where he encountered a mysterious woman...
The mysterious woman, who went by the name Mistress Kanu, was unlike anyone Tariq Diallo had ever met before. The warrior has seen lots of beautiful women as he roamed Africa but Mistress Kanu was in a class by herself. Six feet tall, curvy and dark-skinned, with a shaved head and golden brown eyes, Mistress Kanu was beautiful, and in her own way, quite powerful. Tariq Diallo had no idea that the mysterious woman who welcomed him into her woodland home was more than human...
"You have fire in your blood, warrior, I shall taste it," Mistress Kanu told Tariq, as she approached him that night, while he slept in her guest room. Tariq, startled awake by the sound of the mystery lady's very light footsteps, gazed at her in the dark. Uncomprehending her words, the warrior Tariq at first thought that Mistress Kanu had amorous intentions. When she leapt on him and sank her fangs into his neck, Tariq fought back, but to no avail. Mistress Kanu was ferociously strong, and Tariq could not fend off her attack...
"Let go of me, witch," Tariq cried out, and as Mistress Kanu began drinking his blood, he reached for his sword. Tariq lashed out with his weapon, and managed to cut the woman's head off. As Tariq watched, Mistress Kanu's decapitated head and her body turned to dust. Tariq was victorious over his foe, but his victory was short-lived. Weak from blood loss, Tariq lay in bed, unable to move. When Tariq awakened, days later, he was...changed.
Tariq Diallo became a Vampire, a member of the glorious Undead. For centuries, Tariq wandered across the continent of Africa and the Middle East, feeding on humans and slaughtering anyone who gets in his way. Tariq became a legend in the centuries that followed his rise as a Vampire. He was fearless, clever, and quite brutal on top of being handsome and charismatic. Most Vampires led lives of seclusion, but Tariq's appetites for adventure, sex and violence, and his thrill-seeking nature drove him to take the kind of risks that other Vampires would avoid...
In the early twenty-first century, Tariq Diallo found himself in the City of Toronto, Ontario. There is a sizeable Undead community in the City of Toronto, and Tariq felt quite at home there. Prior to moving to the region of Ontario, Canada, Tariq had lived in places like the City of Accra, Ghana, and also the town of Sangrave in southern Mauritania. Canada long held a fascination for the ancient Vampire, so Tariq Diallo moved there in the early twenty-first century...
Every Vampire remembers where he or she was when they heard about the Undead community being exposed in the news. The event that sparked the global war against the Undead, and the subsequent near-extermination of the Vampire race. This was the Night of Discovery, the one that the Vampire species has feared and dreaded for untold millennia. They knew that for all of their power and discretion, one day they would be exposed...
African-born Vampire and all-around adventurer Tariq Diallo remembered exactly where he was on the Night of Discovery. The West African brother was in the VIP section of a classy Jamaican joint, Toronto's very own Orion Nightclub, getting down and dirty with a sexually adventurous Irish-Canadian couple, Lena Jenkins-Donnelly and her husband Dean Donnelly. The two of them were regulars in Toronto's Little Jamaica, devouring all that the neighborhood had to offers in terms of exotic cuisine, art, culture, and of course, sex...
"We're going to take great care of you, Mister Tariq," said Lena, and the curvy, blonde-haired gal pulled her hair into a bun as she knelt before the tall, dark-skinned and downright imposing West African brother. Tariq smiled at Lena, showing teeth that were eerily white and a bit too sharp. Lena glanced at her husband Dean, who flashed Tariq a lustful grin. The more the merrier, Tariq thought, and the Vampire returned Dean's smile and nodded firmly.
"Hey, handsome, come join us," Tariq said in his deep, charismatic voice. It's a command and not a request, Tariq thought, locking eyes with Dean. Lots of mortals fear that which they crave, and Dean is evidently one of them. Dean, a tall and skinny, brown-haired and pale-skinned man with green eyes, looked at the handsome black gentleman whose groin his wife Lena was patting. This is quite a show, Dean thought, feeling absolutely aroused.
Life has been quite the rollercoaster since Dean Donnelly confessed to his wife Lena that he likes both women and men. A lot of women would leave their husband or boyfriend upon finding out that he has bisexual tendencies. Fortunately for Dean, his dear wife Lena is far more open-minded and freaky than he could have imagined. Exploring Dean's other side together was Lena's idea, and he thanked his lucky stars for her...
