Backstory: Summary: Mortal Life Born in1749 to a middle class family in province of New Jersey Married at age 24 (1773) to a beautiful wife named Charlotte  Had a daughter at age 25 (1774), her name was Patience He had a family portrait made, small enough to be folded up and carried. At age 31 (1780) he entered into the Revolutionary War  During the conflict, he came into contact with a fellow soldier named Kyle Strathcona Immortal Life Kyle was a venture vampire looking for loyal soldiers Silas was turned into a by Kyle, and after dying in battle, was posthumously embraced by Kyle Thinking himself a monster, he never returned to his family. Ran away from to New York and there he began his unlife At some point, he turned the portrait of his family into a photograph to fit into a pocket watch he had made. Through connections with Kyle, he met Francis a Daeva who was under Kyle as a student Francis would introduce Silas into the Ordo Dracul His already present curiosity about his condition and the secret world was enhanced after joining. Silas made a name for himself with the Rockefeller family. He was an honorary family member, in all regards, well established amongst knowing circles but obscure to most outside the small circle Using his monetary ties, he was able to settle in well in New York. Recent Times Years sitting atop his steel tower on his velvet throne, his curiosity was not satisfied. Spending many decades studying the occult and the secrets of vitae, diablerie, and magic. Being in such a new country would not help him learn such ancient things. Using his Ordo Dracul ties, he was able to find himself as a senior research fellow at Oxford University In these lands filled with ancient secrets, he hopes he can learn even more.

Disciplines Dominate The Beast demands obedience from lesser creatures. It slips into the Kindred's voice, modulating his tone and his words to express absolute authority. It progresses from the simple barked commands of a drill sergeant to creating false memories of whatever the vampire desires - or letting her steal her victim's body to walk in the sunlight once again. Mesmerize (o): Cost: None  Dice Pool: Intelligence + Expression + Dominate vs. Resolve + Blood Potency Action: Instant All Silas has to do is meet his victim's eye to them in his thrall. His control isn't obvious; he just asks them to do something and his victim acquiesces. They could unlock a door, pass him a gun -- or forget ever meeting him. Some cruel vampire mesmerize passers-by just to take the rap for their crimes. Iron Edict (oo): Cost: 1 Vitae; none if the victim is in Vinculum with the vampire  Dice Pool: None Requirement: Vampire must've inflicted the Mesmerized Condition on the victim  Action: Instant The vampire can issue a longer command to a Mesmerized victim. The edict can be up to three sentences long and can include a successive series of actions. The command takes two turns per sentence to convey. As with Mesmerize, the vampire's control doesn't extend to commands that rely on the victim's interpretation. The victim takes the Dominated Condition and will follow the vampire's commands as soon as she finishes speaking them. He continues to follow the order until he has completed his task, or the sun rises. Many Kindred use Iron Edict to issue a simple command, such as "Obey my direct instructions when I give them to you," which effectively gives them control over the minion until the sun comes up - though it doesn't extend the duration of the Mesmerized Condition. Resilience (o) Cost:  None or 1 Vitae per effect  Dice Pool:  None  Action: None (for persistent effects) or Reflexive (for active effects)  Duration:  Permanent (for persistent effects) or one turn (for active effects) Coils of the Voivode Taste of Fealty (o) In his first step to becoming king, a Dragon forms chains of blood, binding others into service. Her Vitae becomes dramatically more addictive, each point counting as two for the purposes of Vitae addiction. What's more, those who are addicted to her find all other blood shallow and tasteless. Addicts can only resolve the Deprived Condition resulting from blood addiction by drinking the Vitae of someone with this Coil. Scales of the Voivode Blood Cleansing Ritual Prerequisite Coils:  Taste of Fealty Procedure:  The Dragon prepares a wash of animal blood and viscera, mixed with several draughts of her own Vitae. She uses this to perform a "washing" procedure. The Dragon repeatedly dumps this solution into the subject's nose and mouth. As the implementation of this Scale is tantamount to torture, subjects are typically restrained. Outcome:  This process is repeated once for every point of Vitae the Dragon invested in the solution. Each time, if the victim is blood bound to another vampire, roll a number of dice equal tot he Dragon's Blood Potency minus the blood bond creator's Blood Potency. Success on any roll permanently removes the blood bond. Despite the inclusion of the Dragon's Vitae, it does not create a bond towards the Dragon.   Merits Cutthroat (o) Undeniable Aura (ooo) Acute Senses (o) Unnatural Affinity (Mages) (o) Honey Trap (o) Status (Ordo Dracul) (oo) Resources (oooo)
