Status: 3 Primogen: Acknowledged, Esteemed, Revered

Height:  5’11

Hair:  Black

Eye:  Grey

Merits:  Humble, Natural Leader, Self-Confident

Gavin Hawthorne stands with a confidence that comes naturally to man in charge.  His company, Dark Watch, provides private security solutions on all levels; from executive protection, computer systems, and physical security, to helping people disappear or finding those who have.  When he undertakes a project, he pursues it with an almost tangible intensity and passion.  His grim determination can make him seem a bit hard boiled, but his square jaw is softened by an easy smile that he seems more than willing to turn upon any who look his way. He’s the kind of guy people like to get behind and love to have in their corner.

Name: Theodora Paxton Roosevelt

Status: 1 Acknowledged

Apparent Age: 19

Merits: Piercing Gaze
Flaws: Touch of Frost, Distinguishing Characteristic (Eyes)

Fame 3 - Radio Personality (known mostly only to politicians or underground house-clubbers)

Unconventional, unorthodox and rebellious, Paxton is not every Ventrue's dream clan-mate. Embraced at the age of 19, she had all the makings of a great Ventrue, only to turn out to be a rebel among the pack. A direct descendant of Theodore Roosevelt himself, Paxton does everything she can to break the mold and make her own way. Fluent in eight different languages (French, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Latin and Italian), she's a natural linguist with a sharp mind, quick wit and the political aspirations of a rock. With politics in her blood, she has the potential to become a force to be reckoned with in the arena though she chooses not to. Content to just exist, riding the line between proper and not, she has a tendency to see just how far she can bend the rules. While most Ventrue are put off by her, she seems to be a refreshing addition in any social gathering. Easily adapting to those around her with her vivacious personality, friendly demeanor and mischievous fronts. With a piercing gaze she can incur your anger or melt your heart, and a lively outlook to aid her in her pursuit of radio domination. Formerly one of New York's most listened to radio DJ's, she has the intention of taking over the airwaves in Vegas one station at a time.

 Name: Melachi Nazarene 

Status: 1 Acknowledged

Apparent Age: 31
Merits: Common Sense, Concentration

Flaws: Known Mercenary, Insensitive

Melachi is a very complicated man. He is a man of honor who operates under a strict code of ethics, yet his sense of morality is flawed. He is a man who believes in using deadly force, and at times has acted as judge, jury and executioner for those he deems without honor or worth. He is, however, particular about the jobs he chooses, often turning down jobs that would compromise his personal moral compass, such as it is. In some occasions, Melachi has fought on the side of angels merely because he believed in the cause. Other times, he has taken cases and committed acts other Kindred would be disgusted by.

Melachi is also a man who has a hard time expressing his feelings. His lack of expression made him neither a good sire or lover. At times, he has distanced himself from those he loved for their own protection. Despite his recent changes, he remains a man of mystery. Whether he will walk the side of angels or take the path to hell remains to be seen. You never know quite what to expect from him... And he would have it no other way.
