general personality: Colby is generally laid back, but definitely has the Lefabre temper. At times it seems as if his temper is his only driving force and Colby has developed a history of violence towards friends, family and enemies. Over the years Colby used to wonder where he would fall in the Lefabre continuum. If he'd be more detached and cynical like his Aunt Kristen and Uncle Brock or if he'd become this selfish, self-absorbed black hole of a person like his Aunt Brandi or Uncle Jared. It seems though that he has taken on a little bit of all of them. The only trait he has that he could claim as his own would be his romantic spirit and easy-going nature in times of peace.
He's also grown up very quickly in this family and he's been forced to change himself as well to get where he wants to be. Where Colby used to be naïve about how things work and people interact within the Lefabre family, now they are all becoming painfully clear. He’s been forced to understand that people aren’t always what they seem and that if he wants to survive he needs to learn to get over it. Fast. He's a quick learner and can be as big of a manipulator as his relatives. He actually thinks it's fun to sneak around behind other peoples backs and have a book full of secret moves and tricks up his sleeves.
Colby has also developed a high tolerance for emotional pain and is incredibly stubborn, another dominant Lefabre trait. Even when the odds are stacked up to the ceiling against him, Colby will press on. And even when it appears as if he's given up, he'll be using that time to regroup. Colby's only watching the clock and waiting for the best time to strike.

*waybackwhen!
history: It's a wonder how Colby Lefabre, once nicknamed 'The Golden Boy', is still sane after all he's been through. His high school sweetheart, Allison Whitney, broke him in half to be with his former best-friend, Jackson Reeves. He got into some fights at school as a result, nothing too serious but seemingly a personality trait that wasn't going anywhere. Colby rebounded by dating a friend and long time crush, Jessica Reeves - Jackson's little sister.
But their romance, with a little time, turned out to be the real deal to them and they married each other regardless of what their friends and family would of said. Soon after his wedding though Colby's world fell apart when he discovered that his eldest sister, Vanessa was really his mother and had been lying about it all his life. Sequentially Vanessa's mental health began to deteriorate due to a former alcohol addiction. Colby however, drew closer to her in her last days of sanity. Unable to cope with all of the changes, he lashed out at a few people; his Aunt Kristen Lefabre included. He even broke her wrist in a physical fight almost two years ago and Kristen has yet to forgive him completely.
Just when he started to have peace with the situation concerning his mother, he found his real father, Duncan Walsingham, admist a scandal inside the Lefabre family that was triggered no less by his Uncle Brock and Aunt Kristen's meddling into matters of the past. The scandal extended into Le Monde Lefabre, the family's underground, black market business and contributed considerably to Vanessa's death.
Colby had no time to even get to know Duncan before both he and Vanessa were killed and his Uncle Jared Lefabre was supposedly killed as well. With no one else available and due to instructions left in Jared and Duncan's wills, LML fell into the possession of Colby.
At the time he unsuccessfully took up the reigns of LML, Colby was too stubborn to admit that he was ill equipped to lead a company cursed. He intended on making Jared and his real father proud, yet Colby struggled with keeping people and things in their usual place. Colby refused to give up though and even at the advice of some of his best and most loyal employees, Colby stuck it out. He strongly believes that LML is where he belongs to the point of almost considering it manifest destiny.
He was really beginning to feel the strain of being a first-year college student, a newlywed and the man in charge of the 'mafia' so to speak. On top of unruly and doubtful investors, fierce competition like Max LeBeau's LBMB trying to move in and the threat of a double agent on the horizon, Colby knew he was in over his head but he never panicked or doubted himself. Colby had not broken down, giving the appearance that 'The Kid' is much stronger than he appears.
However, all can fall from grace if they aren't careful. Barely into a five month reign as CEO of LML, Colby was surprised to see his Aunt Brandi Lefabre had returned from a long overdue business trip in South America. Neither welcomed the other into LML with open arms. Instead Colby met her with contempt and Brandi was so angry to see Colby as CEO she returned to the offices the next day with a lawsuit claiming that he had inherited LML illegally and that many of his possessions and shares in the business had been passed down to him falsely as well. Instead of dragging Colby to court and having a dirty legal battle for the position of CEO, Colby knew he would be fighting a losing battle and made a deal with Brandi which demoted him from CEO to second in command, COO.
He had less work to do as second in command and he had the privilege of watching Brandi work, which all together gave Colby a lot of time to think. He wanted LML back, so he went behind Brandi's back and met with Brock and Kristen, who had received their original legal share of LML's stocks back. He persuaded them to sign their shares over to him, which would give him the largest percentage of stocks and the most power, to cut Brandi out of LML for good. The meeting didn't end well for Colby, although he got what he wanted Kristen left making him feel as if he'd sold his soul to the devil to get what he wanted. It pained him to know that Kristen hated him so much, but Colby has begun to take little offense to her actions.
The day he announced to Brandi that he had over 60% control of LML through it's stocks now, was a day he'll never forget. Colby has reclaimed his position as CEO since then and with Brandi's guidance back in his COO days he is better equipped to run LML. After only a few months, Colby begun seeing strides in the success of LML (much more success than his first run) His new ability to handle every issue with intelligence and a firm hand creates an aura of unshakable confidence. But he still felt like all of this is just the beginning of a very bright, yet tainted future in the dark business world.
The next few months have had little change at LML for Colby other then the addition of a new assistant, Belle Whitney-Prescott. He remembered her all too well from when she and Kristen were best friends. Now it seemed that the cycle had come full circle and Belle was at his side working day in and day out.
On top of how well things seemed to be going at LML, Jessica had told him during a nice dinner at home that she was pregnant. There was absolutely no way, in Colby's mind, that his life could get any better. He was going to have an heir. Someone to pass on the Lefabre legacy to and he was all too eager to start his own family, a real family, something he'd been denied since his secret conception in the shadows of the Lefabre home.
What Colby could not anticipate was a strategic strike by Alexander Paradis against him. Colby had not ever openly challenged the Paradis family nor would he have done so. One morning while he had been at the office, a fire had been set at the home he shared with Jessica. Jessica had been trapped inside and house and had taken a nasty fall down the stairs. A firefighter had managed to get Jessica out of the house but not before their unborn baby was dead. The close call or his wife had been a harsh wake up call for the young executive. It meant more to him than just losing his family - it meant war with the newly joined Paradis and Tsung dynasties.
It took every ounce of his strength to divorce Jessica in an effort to keep her safe and out of the way from the war that was about to rage. When Jackson barged into his office uninvited and began making demands, Colby did what any Lefabre in his position would have done - he shattered Jackson's knee cap. This was the assurance he needed that Jackson would take his sister far from LA to the safety of the East Coast.
With Jessica now safely out of the way, Colby focused his attention on his adversary and on putting his own 'house' in order. The attention was short lived; however, when a newly resurrected Jared appeared. His descent into darkness had prepared Colby for his first man to man with Jared though as it were it ended with neither of them getting what they really wanted from the other. Lefabre stubborness matched toe to toe is a winless situation even for the sharpest of players.
One good thing did come out of the re-appearance of Jared Lefabre and that was that Alexander Paradis was no longer an issue. Somehow the older Lefabre had managed to get the thorn in Colby's side thrown into prison for a very long time. While this was a fortunate turn of events for Colby, he was not so foolish enough to believe that the incarcerated Paradis was not still calling the shots among his minions on the outside.
It seemed the war with the Paradis/Tsung dynasty was over before it began, allowing Colby to revert back to a more normal manner of living. While he was enjoying keeping the company of Belle Whitney-Prescott during the after hours, he'd also begun to date her sister and his former high school sweetheart, Allison Whitney. Even though neither of them had any reason to believe that what they had with Colby was exclusive, the day the two of them found out about each other is seered into Colby's memory. He was enjoying a romantic morning in bed with Allison in his penthouse when Belle used her key to barge in interrupting their morning acrobatics only to announce to Colby that she was carrying HIS baby. The situation quickly escalated and ended with Colby physically threatening Belle and Allison retreating from their relationship after seeing a darker side of her lover than she was comfortable seeing.
Colby sought out Allison and sincerely apologized, reassuring her that his behavior was out of the ordinary and would not be repeated. He and Allison have resumed their now public relationship, but he has vowed to wait until Belle has the baby and then demand a paternity test before allowing the baby to leave the hospital. If the baby was his, he'd see to it that Belle was incapable of caring for it and he'd claim what was rightfully his.
Having learned of Kristen's pending nuptials from Belle, Colby paid his sister a visit to show his support and to offer an olive branch of sorts. Even though Kristen had written him off long ago, Colby stilled loved her and would die if necessary to protect her. She was one of the only weak spots in his new brazen armor. Though the greeting he received from her was less than warm, through a series of unforeseen events, he ended up walking her down the aisle on her wedding day. Colby did not take the honor lightly. He knew Tyler was a good man and would take care of her. As Colby handed her over to her new husband, he did so with relief that his sister might have that which had been denied generations of Lefabre - a life resembling normalcy full of love and a real family.
The paternity test revealed that Colby was indeed the father of Belle's baby. Seeing his newborn daughter for the first time, the new father fell head over heals for the only girl other than Jessica to have owned his heart - only this time was remarkably different. Little Madeline Lefabre had her father wrapped around her little finger finger from the day she was born. Suffice it to say that this just wasn't acceptable for the baby's mother and she eventually left town whether under duress or on her own remains unknown. Colby has been raising his daughter alone save for the nanny, tutors and security personnel he has hired for her. She has been the bright spot in his life, finally giving him someone who wouldn't leave him.
Being a father began a healing for Colby, but it remains to be seen whether this will be his downfall or his salvation.
