Ron Stewart
Sobriquet: Ron
Appearance: Ron is a rough and tumble type man. Handsome in a "I've got stubble and scars" kind of fashion. Tall, muscular, with wavy, short cut hair. Ron's square jaw is marked with a scar...but it makes him even more rugged and strong.
Still, he has the way of walking of a warrior, as well as the stare. Not the behavior of most Kindred of the Cour.
Behavior: Ron is a warrior, who knows his limitations. While he can be quite charming, he has difficulty in socializing with unknown people, and people from higher stations. This has lead him down the road to social death when he has embarrassed himself at the Cour. Once, he even insulted the whole Clan Ventrue in a very inspired speech where he denounced its corruption the same way he had denounced the corruption of the US politics while men were dying in Vietnam. While it had a great success in an Esprit viewpoint, he alienated the whole Clan Ventrue against him... So he now avoids the Cour whenever possible.
In a fighting situation, he is quite calm, his Majesty having its greatest effect, while combined with his awing height and appearance. Few find the courage to fight him, and none ever defeated him. So his self-control in those situation is not comedy...
History: Ron Stewart is born in 1945 in the suburbs of Los Angeles. He made his studies at the French school of Los Angeles, but soon, the other kids avoided him, as he was taller than any of them (and soon taller than the teachers!).
Moreover, Ron developed an allergy to some culinary ingredients, which gave him skin irritations. As the school food was mostly French cuisine , he spent most of his young life with rashes and lots of itching.
Without friends, his interest for studies decreased and he never did well on his exams. He took the Viet-Nam conflict as a great way out from boring school, and he went to the army to fight for his country. He learned, then, to use weapons, as well as cars, jeeps and trucks. His great strength and athletic ability led him to the commandos, and he became a Green Beret.
In Viet-Nam, he was taken prisoner. After being kept in a small, dark box for three years, he came back with a fear of confined spaces. As he had no living family (his parents had died in a car accident), he remained in the army. He was stationed in Berlin in 1977. He was embraced by Fredrick Klaus in 1978, having been grabbed by Klaus because of Frenzy at the time. Stewart fought Klaus off, and the raging vampire chased the American through East Berlin. Eventually Klaus caught him and drained him. When Klaus came to his senses and realized what he had done, he felt bad and gave immortality to the American. After his sire disappeared into Russia, Ron decided he didn't like Berlin and decided to try Paris as he spoke French.
While he isn't anymore a Veilleur (officially), he still works for Alexis when his help is needed. He stands now between the Cour where he had some limited success because of his appearance (he has still difficulties to socialize...), and the Anarch hang-out Psaume 69.
