Jake Almerson
- New Orleans -NOLA- Camarilla -NOLA- Brujah
Sobriquet: Just....Jake.
Appearance: A small, lean looking man with ebony skin and black hair cut close to the scalp. He is clean shaven and usually dresses in black pants and a vest.
Behavior: Not the friendlies of people. If someones tries to engage him in conversation more than likely he will generally ignore that person to tell them to go away. If the conversation has to do with the Brujah, however, he is extremely vocal about how he truly feels — unless Dutch is around.
History: Jake lived most of his life in New Orleans. He was a dock worker and sometime union organizer - not a popular vocation in New Orleans. Embraced in 1922, he stayed in the city with his sire until the 1940s, when word came the the Brujah in Los Angeles were revolting. Jake's sire went to their aid, leaving Jake to head the clan in New Orleans.
When Dutch appeared, Jake realize at once that the newcomer outmatched him, and backed down immediately. Indeed, for all intents and purposes he has supported the new clan leader ever since. Jake opposed the new leader's ideas of unification, but felt there was little he could do about it. Rather than fight the changes from the outside, Jake decided it was better to try striking at Dutch from within.
Jake has thus made himself virtually indispensable to Dutch, and the Brujah leader rarely makes a move without Jake's knowledge. Jake has also taken every opportunity to sabotage Dutch's plans. For instance, when Dutch began his attempts to take the princedom in 1955, Jake immediately discredited him to the city's elders and incited trouble among the Brujah then in the city. Dutch, however, quickly stopped his efforts.
Today Jake is still Dutch's lieutenant, as well as one of the rabble-rouses in the clan. He is extremely discreet in the trouble he causes, ensuring that it cannot be traced back to him.
Jake firmly believes that Brujah should be free to do what they want, when they want, without the restrictive ties of a formal clan structure. Thus, he generally disagrees with all of Dutch's policies for running the clan — except one. He agrees that the princeship of New Orleans should be in the hands of a Brujah.
