Sebastian Walcott
- New Orleans -NOLA- Camarilla -NOLA- Tremere
Sobriquet: Regent (publicly), Sebastien (in private)
Appearance: A robust young man, Sebastian appears flushed regardless of how recently he has fed, and he seems to breath without conscious effort. Likewise, those who have enough Auspex to notice, realize that he has a heart beat at all times, unless he consciously stills it and possesses a normal human body temperature in defiance of the Curse of Caine. He has reddish-blond hair, green eyes, and is clean-shaven.
Behavior: Sebastien prefers to avoid conversations; when he must speak, he always makes certain those with whom he speaks, know that he is the head of the Tremere Chantry in New Orleans. Thus, he speaks authoritatively and with precision. Unknown to most of the Kindred of New Orleans, Sebastien occasionally succumbs to bouts of severe suicidal depression; when this black despair grips Sebastien, only a thrilling game of cards can take his mind from his malaise, but to date he has never suffered an episode outside the presence of his sire or grand-sire, something that Antonio is beginning to realize slowly.
History: As a boy, Sebastian worshiped his Uncle Nigel and, after the old man disappeared, became the keeper of his journals and books. Here Sebastian found a wealth of fascinating information. Determined to equal or exceed his uncle's knowledge, Sebastian plunged into alchemical studies with a vengence, soon learning everything his uncle had written down.
Unfortunately, his uncle had never written down his most important secrets, and Sebastian's experiments were doomed from the moment he began. While most of these failures were harmless, his attempts at finding immortality were not. Concoctions his uncle had documented but knew better than to try, Sebastian prepared and drank. Skin ointments his uncle had written down as a joke, Sebastian mixed and applied. After imbibing one particularly bizarre hallucinogenic concoction, Sebastian was never quite the same. Whenever Nigel tries to fathom a cause for Sebastian's insanity, he looks at his own journals and cries tears of blood.
Sebastian while a gifted Thaumaturgist, has had special problems adjusting to vampirism. He has been especially hurt by the Tremere's rejection of his efforts to become established within the clan, and would do almost anything to gain the clan's approval. Thus, Sebastian has made every effort to reconcile himself and his uncle with the Tremere — with no success. He is the de facto chantry master of New Orleans, but the Tremere do not recognize his position. The combination of his quest for acceptance and his drug-induced psychosis has led to bouts of depression and unhappiness. His threats to his uncle about suicide are quite serious, and his death would be spectacular.
