Bestiary

Born into wealth and privilege, you never struggled or wanted for anything. Your revenant family, the Grimaldi clan, saw to it that you had the best of everything: schools, cars, even boyfriends. You were coddled and spoiled for a reason, however, to serve as a respected go-between for the Sabbat in their necessary dealings with mortals. Before you were born, you were assigned a domitor, one who only cared about fulfilling his duty to his Sect. You have yet to meet him, in part because you have done everything you can to prove your loyalty. You know what the Blood could do to your wits, and you would rather become a vampire than be Bound into service.

Despite a fantastic career in finance, a great family, and more money than you’d ever need, you’ve begun to grow increasingly weary of your obligations. You’ve come to realize that your family has trapped you into a corner, and you can’t leave Rome without just cause. Now that you’ve gained control of your own allies and resources, you’ve realized you don’t need to listen to your family any longer. In fact, you’re in the perfect position to stage a coup.

Of course, a betrayal of this magnitude would not be taken lightly, and you’ll need more allies if you’re going to convince other family members to help. Unfortunately, you can’t ignore the nagging feeling that you’re being manipulated, which is why you’ve hired a few spies to find out what the rest of the Grimaldi clan is really up to. Worse, you fear you’ve pretend to be a Sabbat loyalist a little too well, and the vampires are secretly pulling your strings.

Roleplaying Hints: You are gifted with financial matters and now manage investments for your ever-growing family. Though you have an office in your family estates, you prefer to travel frequently on business for yourself, your family, and the Sabbat. You know how to say the right thing at the right time, and stick to casual subjects when you’re outside of your family’s holdings. Despite all outward appearances, you are searching for an escape... even if it’s a temporary one. You do have a plan to unseat your family’s founders, but you will bide your time and tread carefully. You may not be aware of how powerful the Sabbat is yet, but you have an idea they could ruin you any time they wished. Deep down, you curse the day your family were pledged into their service.

“Some animals are cunning and evil-disposed, as the fox; others, as the dog, are fierce, friendly, and fawning. Some are gentle and easily tamed, as the elephant; some are susceptible of shame, and watchful, as the goose.

Some are jealous and fond of ornament, as the peacock.”
