He rose from his crypt in Redding on January 10, 2004, where he later moved to Sacramento in 2019. He graduated from Creative Connections Arts Academy in June 2022.
Achilles appreciated anything dark, vampiric and macabre. As of recent he started his drag career as Chapel Damnation, the vampiric king of Sacramento, captivating the audience with his charming and ghoulish presence. He had a passion for creating art no matter the medium, with the desire of becoming a tattoo artist later on in life. His creative mind allowed him to create art digitally, traditionally, through makeup and fashion, writing- whatever he wanted to create, he did. He had a deep appreciation for queer media as it shed light on important issues in the community and fostered understanding of the intimacies that many queer people shared. He always had a deep affinity for music and concerts. You could always rely on him to give you the best recommendations.
It was always a goal of Achilles to ensure that you were loved and supported. When you were in the presence of Achilles you felt special. You felt cherished. He would listen to any problem you had and give you the greatest advice you've ever hear no matter what.
He loved community and surrounded himself with people who shared the same affinity. He was loved by so many throughout his entire life and would make sure that every single person was aware that he loved them just as much.
