Jurgis Ąžuolas
[[]]
Sobriquet: Sargent
Appearance: Jurgis stands 1.9 meters tall, weighs a solid 102 kilos and has a tall rangy muscularity. At the time of his first death, his light brown hair was bleached and his skin darkened to a nut-brown by the summer sun. His eyes are a curious hazel with motes of gold in them. He has a permanent flat-top, a short - neat beard and a crooked smile that made friends and lovers with equal ease. The only outward sign of his nationality and former occupation is a Lithuanian Special Operations Force (LITHSOF) tattoo just over his heart.
Background: Like the rest of Brian O'Reilly's bodyguards, Jurgis doesn't discuss his past much - that he was a Lithuanian soldier with special forces training and that he was hand picked to protect his liege is about as much as anyone knows.
Personality: Jurgis is the clown of the team, when not on active duty he loves to drink, chase pretty women and most of all, play practical jokes. His sense of humor is his saving grace, allowing him to survive things that would crush his more serious minded colleagues.
Current Events: In 2015, Jurgis was embraced by a Brujah anarch hoping to create a distraction. That ploy did not save his sire, but then Prince O'Reilly showed mercy and "adopted" his blood-oath bound servant, despite the inherent shame of belonging to a clan of rebellious rabble-rousers. Jurgis being Jurgis, just laughs at the joke the gods have played on him.
A trip to Haiti as his sire's personal vampiric bodyguard had deeply detrimental effects on Jurgis' soul. In the midst of the most horrific experience of his life, he succumbed to rotschreck. When he recovered, he was staked to a tree in the open, with vague, impossible, and deeply repressed memories of being tortured by infernal beings beyond description. After years of intense therapy and personal soul-searching, he has mostly recovered from the ordeal.
In 2028, Jurgis accompanied his sire to Glasgow, where his final derangement played a role in his estrangement from the court: Despite his bastard lineage, he claimed to be a Ventrue, and that Brian was his sire. This had a predictable result in a city ruled by a proud Brujah, with a sizable faction of Ventrue. He now has no friends on either side, and relies even more on his adopted "Sire" for political cover.
Rest in Peace: September 2013, Jurgis's unintended second life was abruptly ended by a Sabbat thaumaturge during the Battle of Birmingham, England.
