Merits
CLAN FRIENDSHIP (4 Pt. MERIT) - One particular clan (not your own) has a special liking for you. You might have done the clan as a whole a favor at some point, or perhaps you're just a loud voice in support of their aims. Whatever the case, you're at -2 difficulty on all Social rolls involving members of the clan in question. Of course, the reaction your cozy relationship with another clan is likely to draw from your own clan leaders is an entirely different can of worms.
Toreador, Priam’s interior design aesthetic has long been regarded as exemplary and Clan Toreador views him as a true artiste.
PRESTIGIOUS SIRE(l Pt. Merit) - Your sire has or had great status in her sect or clan, and this has accorded you with a certain amount of prestige. Though your sire may no longer have any dealings with you, the simple fact of your ancestry has marked you forever. This prestige might aid you greatly in dealings with your elders or other neonates, or it might engender jealousy or contempt. This merit must be purchased if your character’s sire is an NPC within the game setting.
Zelios Faber Master Mason is Priam’s sire.
False Reflection (3 pt Merit) - When using Mask of a Thousand Faces, a Nosferatu with this Merit can create a false impression of his disguise on recording media. He can have his picture taken, show up on videotape and even record an imitation of the subject’s voice. Nosferatu without this Merit cannot disguise themselves to machines using the Obfuscate Discipline.
Flaws
Dark Secret (1) – Priam established friendly relations with the Sabbat prior to the fall of the city to the Camarilla.
Uppity (2) - You are proud of your new status in the Sect — so proud that you’ve shot your mouth off to other Kindred and made some enemies. Wiser vampires laugh at you and chalk your rudeness up to youth, but others find you arrogant and insulting. These enemies will take action to embarrass or harm you. Furthermore, you are at +2 difficulty on all Social rolls against any vampires you have alienated through your yammering — and you may not know who they are.
At Storyteller discretion, you may also be required to make a Willpower roll (difficulty 6) to keep your mouth shut any time the opportunity presents itself for you to brag about your pack, your Clan, or your status.
Sleeping With the Enemy (3) - You have some sort of intimate connection with a member of an opposing Sect or inimical Clan. You may have a lover, a childe, a friend, or a contact working the other side of the fence, but regardless of politics you retain a friendly (or more than friendly) relationship with your putative foe. Your close ties to someone on the other side would be regarded as treason by your superiors within the Sect, and if you are discovered, the penalty will surely be death.
Priam maintains a relationship with a Tzimisce whom he had a tryst with upon his first arrival in New York some time ago. This relationship he values even more than the relationship with his Sire as she has long filled him with delusions of his greatness in the world of design and fashion.
Priam Gesault Background:
Priam grew up dreaming of life as a designer having grown up in middle America where noting ever happened, as far as he was concerned. He got his big break when he was accepted to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Fashion Department.
Unlike many of his peers, he was more interested in interior design than garments. The words prodigy were certainly bandied about when he was selected to decorate the Sears Tower for Holiday as part of his internship.
That night the party for the grand opening changed his life or perhaps more accurately ended his life. The excesses of the ‘80’s required something more than just masterful architecture among the Cainite clients of Zelios the Master Mason.
Right place wrong time or wrong place right time. Either way, Zelios decided that this young prodigy of the interior design world would be perfect for his and his clients’ needs. And indeed, he was. Priam spent the next 10 years under the tutelage of the Master Mason. Thereunder he gained great acclaim among a much different circle than originally intended when he was growing up in small town middle America. Clan Toreador had long held his Sire in high regard and with the numerous clients that his Sire acquired, Priam acquired those same clients as well as many of his own.
The party fueled late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s were a whirlwind, the fall of communism brought capitalism into the forefront and with excess comes money and spending by the rich. Priam partied along with his clients and gained acclaim and an ego along the way.
By the early ‘90’s Zelios made the perilous decision to travel to New York City to examine some alterations of his work in the labyrinths by Nosferatu antitribu. At that time, Zelios was attacked by… something. Priam ran while his Sire dealt with, well, whatever it was.
The Antitribu found him wandering the warrens and allowed him to settle within the city as one of their own, after all, the enmity between the split halves of the Nosferatu clan was never as great as that of other Clans.
New York City was the perfect location for Priam to ply his craft, the interior design capital of the US, if not the world. During his working and carousing he met the first Love of his Life and Unlife for that matter. Lady Carlysle knew of the work of Priam and knew he was no Antitribu, but she did not care, her vision of interior design was different than that of Priam but he was still able to fuse her dark visions with his own cutting edge styles.
The city was turned on its head several years later when the Camarilla reclaimed the city. Priam was injured in the attack and sank into torpor for several years. He has awakened only a year ago to another new world but was able to recirculate into Cainite society under his Sire’s fame and his own friendly relations with Clan Toreador. He has begun to rebuild his business with the aid of a trusted new Ghoul designer, and up and comer that remind him of himself. He is building up his finances as well.
Indeed, he has also found himself in the company of a young coterie! But a question does gnaw at him, what happened to his Sire? And more importantly what happened to his patron and Lover, Lady Carlysle?
