Sobriquet: Does a Gangrel mercenary called Scotty Nails really need one?

Appearance: Scotty stands about 5'6" and probably weights 170 pounds. As a Gangrel, Scotty is no stranger to frenzy and as such his bestial nature has taken on prominence, giving him a distinctly rodentlike appearance. Scotty's hair is a uniform gray, not so much that of an aging human as that of a healthy Rattus norvegicus is cropped short and while his face is free of hair he has developed a thin greasy pelt over most of the remainder of his body. Where his skin is exposed, its pale to the point of being albino, which Scotty is not, as his corneas have turned a very deep blue-gray and his sclera has turned almost black. It is these animal features that are most likely to give away his Kindred nature and scare mortals. Like most beasts, when light is flashed in his eyes they reflect rather powerfully and give a hint of his predatory nature. His face has taken on a more angular look and his ears are prominent and nearly pointed. His nose is flat, but very prominent and it tends to twitch uncontrollably when he scents prey. Worst of all, Scotty's fangs no longer retract and are quite prominent when he speaks, if he doesn't try to cover this by looking down or turning away to speak. Scotty tends to wear dark colors, preferring black or dark grey and he has a gift for blending into crowds or the urban landscape equally.

Behavior: While it might seem trite, Scotty is a Scot and his accent reveals him to be a Highlander, probably from Inverness or thereabouts. Despite this Scotty seems well traveled, world-wise and whip-crack smart. He always maintains a constant awareness of what is happening in his surroundings and is extremely fast to react to potential threats. He is a skilled negotiator used to dealing with powerful individuals and while showing a grudging respect, he is not shy in laying out his terms or walking away from the bargaining table if the deal doesn't suit him. He gives the impression of a true professional mercenary, perhaps trained by one of the many private security agencies so recently active in hot-spots around the globe. Unsurprisingly, he is a very cynical creature who presumes that others are driven by the same forces that drive him.

History: No one knows that much about Scotty, except for the obvious and he has kept his personal history so close to the vest that even the local Nosferatu don't seem to have anything on him.

Recent Events: He was recently approached by the new reeve of Leeds, Blake, who offered him the position of sheriff. That negotiation did not go as either Kindred would have liked and both walked away from the meeting feeling somewhat ruffled. As such, Scotty has been looking around for a new benefactor and has decided the new Baron O'Reilly might be a better employer.
