Hideous deformities and misshapen features are the hallmarks of the Nosferatu, vampires reshaped by the Curse of Caine. Though they (usually) remain aware and intelligent, all Nosferatu are physically altered in some way by the blood of the Clan. Boils, growths, altered features, hairy spots, warts, odd skin colors, animalistic features and even scales sprout on the faces and bodies of these wretches. Little wonder, then, that the Nosferatu prefer to congregate in sewers and caverns, away from the judgmental eyes of others.

Nosferatu NPCs

CalebrosCALEBROS

Player: Canonical NPC (generally played by John)

Appearance: n/a

Appearance (Mechanics): [0] Appearance-related Traits, obvious Negative Social Traits (Repugnant x3)

Description: The most influential Nosferatu in New York for the past 50 years since his Sire disappeared, Calebros is remarkably anonymous beyond his Clan, and that's the way he prefers it. He maintains order in his warren beneath Manhattan while also coordinating plans and information for his bretheren across the Americas and Europe. As the reluctant, temporary (and now former) Prince of New York, Calebros hasn't slept well since putting those duties behind him.

In being Prince Pro Tempore of New York City Calebros did what he felt he had to do -- he acted as a wartime figurehead for a siege that needed one. He harbors no illusions about this; he knows that he held the title only to give the Camarilla effort common cause to rally behind and the Sabbat an enemy upon whom to focus.

It was with great relief, then, that Calebros abdicated as Prince of the Domain. He never really wanted the position. He found himself thrust into it by Camarilla powers who wanted a Prince weak enough to acquiesce to their tactical needs but believable enough to give the siege effort a sense of credibility.

Calebros, has been tired of the whole affair for a while. While he still played the game as much as was expected of him for a while, he longed for the nights when he could put the whole political circus behind him and return to his warren beneath the streets. With the succession of Bromme Freidrich III back in 2002, his wishes seemed to have been granted. However, recent events involving his Clan seem to have set him stirring once again, and much curiosity has been aroused with his brief reappearance regarding the former Primogen Jay Goldman.

Inactive Nosferatu PCs

Ash GentlyASH GENTLY

A.K.A.: AG

Player: Ivan

Appearance: Gritty Monochrome.

Appearance (Mechanics): [0] Appearance-related Traits, obvious Negative Social Traits (Repugnant x3)

Description: A brief glimpse into the thoughts of Ash Gently:

"He had a baseball bat, and I was tied to a chair: pissing him off wasn't the smartest thing to do, but it wasn't like I had something to lose. I didn't like the way the show started, but they had given me the best seat in the house, front row center. (Seems that Lady Luck was really a hooker, and I was fresh out of cash) Snow fell like ash from post-apocalyptic skies, and it was colder than the devil's heart, raining ice pitchforks as if the heavens were ready to fall - I would have laughed, if I could have remembered how. There was no glory in this. I hadn't asked for this crap. Trouble had come to me, in big dark swarms. The good and the just, they were like gold dust in this city. I had no illusions. I was not one of them. I was no hero. Just me and the gun, and the crook. My options had decreased to a singular course. Collecting evidence had gotten old a few hundred bullets back. I was already so far past the point-of-no-return I couldn't remember what it had looked like when I had passed it. He looked up to me in terror, with the haphazard dread that only the doomed possess, and wondered aloud why I wasn't just arresting him.

"Your rights will be read at your funeral", I said, and squeezed the trigger like it was that dame in the red dress: softly, gently. The bullet caught in his gut, leaking hot Cajun poison into his veins like a broken bottle of Tabasco. It isn't how good you are. It's chaos and luck and anyone who thinks differently is a fool.... and that was it. They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger. And then it was over. The sun went down with practiced bravado, and somewhere in the cold New York Skyline, a dame in a Red Dress was smiling."

Edwin FerentonEDWIN FERENTON

A.K.A.: Ugly Burlap Sack Man

Player: Rick

Appearance: Edwin was a well-built man of indeterminate age. His wardrobe always consisted of a plain (if a bit archaic) Franciscan robe, a rosary and sandals.

Appearance (Mechanics): [0] Appearance-related Traits, obvious Negative Physical Traits (Flabby), obvious Negative Social Traits (Repugnant x3)

Description: Edwin Ferenton was a short-lived representative for Clan Nosferatu, who served on the Primogen Council briefly in the Fall of 2006. Edwin was characterized by a deep and abiding piety and seemingly fantatical dedication to the Catholic Church, in addition to a short and furious temper when questioned about his religion. He was known (much to his shame) to have fallen to the Beast in Elysium more than once when confronted about his religion, and to have been seen weeping openly in court when overcome with the spirit.

Edwin disappeared from the collective Kindred radar sometime back in the Spring of 2007, after a prolonged absence from court life that led to his position being usurped by Primogen Gently. Nobody has thus far made many inquiries into what has happened to him.



Jay GoldmanJAY GOLDMAN

Player: Inactive (formerly played by Josh)

Appearance: Jay Goldman had a sallow, sunken-in appearance, and his body was covered in a series of scars. He tended toward simple utilitarian clothing, but reportedly took to wearing a suit briefly while serving as Primogen.

Appearance (Mechanics): [0] Appearance-related Traits, obvious Negative Social Traits (Repugnant x3)

Description: After running through a short and somewhat disastrous political career in New York, Jay Goldman remains an individual who left almost nothing but questions in his wake. A friendly character, Goldman quickly climbed his way up to the rank of Primogen after his arrival, and had, for some brief portion of time, the ear of Prince Evans, who made him the Sect's financial advisor.

Little was known about Goldman personally, save that he was very afluent and came from Texas. Less was know about his reasons for suddenly departing from his post slightly after the first coup attempt made by then-Seneschal Darren West. While Goldman claimed that he had received some order from Calebros regarding matters of Clan, he was adamant in not revealing the nature of his mission.

Whatever the reason for this strange departure, upon his declaration of his intention to leave, Goldman quickly lost favor with Evans, who had him publicly humiliated, stripped of status, and then, -behind closed doors- tortured at the hands of Sheriff Greer.

He has since departed, and has not been seen since.
