Derangement: As a legacy of his diablerie, Gerard will only choose to drink from once prosperous men who have fallen on hard times. As such, he has arranged for serveral to have fallen on hard times - the residents of his private dungeon. In frenzy or in a lucid moment, he is still capable of drinking from anyone, or even animals - though the latter provide him less sustinence than they should.
Motivation: Advancement in the Pyramid, mastery over Istanbul and as many of its residents as he can manage, and the possibility of another sanctioned diablerie.
