Magdalena Blanchard

Jamie:

[[Glasgow]] / [[Malkavian]]

'''Appearance''': Magdalena is a shortish woman with ample curves, who projects a force of personality that can overwhelm her physical appearance. It is easy to overlook the pock marks and crow's feet on her face, and not only because her make-up tends toward the heavy side. She is always impeccably dressed in the latest Paris fashions, though she demonstrates little flair for accessorizing beyond what she can get from reading the latest magazines and fashion blogs. Likewise, though her hair changes from night to night, it is always possible to find her style of the night on the cover of a glossy magazine.

'''Background''': Magdalena was groomed at an early age to be a socialite. Inspired by the ideals of the Revolution, her mother believed that such training would attract the perfect husband, and give her daughter the fairy-tale life she could never have. Thus, by the time she was 10, the farmer's daughter was more at home organizing a soiree than milking a cow (a task at which she was absolutely hopeless). Alas, a bout with the pox marred her face, and, despairing of ever marrying a useless daughter off, her father sold 13-year-old Magdalena to a brothel.

Ten years later, Magdalena had graduated from servicing customers to ensuring that the establishment attracted a better sort of customer. Her obsession with ensuring that every customer got exactly what he wanted, no matter the difficulty, eventually attracted the eye of one of the brothel's more difficult clients. Thus began a relationship that culminated, some decades later, in the Madame's embrace.

But sire and childe were to part ways a short time later: Magdalena was not content with her place in society, given her new powers and perspective. She fled to Paris, where she spent three decades under the reluctant protection of the city's Malkavian Primogen. However, the city's harpies were merciless, digging up embarrassing details about her rural past, and endlessly mocking her as a phony Toreador. Eventually, Magdalena fled, and drifted from city to city, before finally finding a place in Glasgow, as the keeper of Elysium. She is known to prefer the company of the most erudite and cultured. In Glasgow, this is her fellow Parisian exile, Frédéric le Parisien.

'''Personality''': If you are not satisfied, if you are not having a good time, Magdalena will find a way to fix it. In truth, the ardor with which she approaches this quest can be intimidating, and some resort to plastering on false smiles and engaging in insincere small-talk whenever she draws near just to avoid an increasingly desperate series of attempts to placate her party-goers. Those who she perceives as having ruined her parties have been known to be the butt of Elysium gossip for months.

Frédéric le Parisien

2014-01-04T00:07:31Z

Jamie:

;[[Glasgow]] / [[Toreador]]

Frederic of Paris (le Parisien), is the eldest Toreador in Glasgow. At first glance, he seems the archetypical poseur dilettante, speaking with a high lilting lisp, and walking with an exaggerated, effeminate spring in his step. He is a past master of the back-handed compliment.

Frederic came to Glasgow after being sired in Paris. It is unclear why he left, but a less-than-noble birth and insufficiently thick skin may have played their roles. It is certain, however, that he thrives in the less intense social environment of Glasgow: His is often THE opinion that counts in Elysium. Of all the vampires in Glasgow, he is probably closest to Magdalena Blanchard, the keeper of Elysium.

'''Influence''': 
Visitors to Glasgow often refer to him as "Primogen," and he effectively holds that position, though Glasgow has no formal council. He is well connected to Toreador throughout Britania, France, and beyond, and can call in favors from surprising sources.

Frederic's influence is most often noticed in the older parts of the city, and in the shipyards, where designs by his favorite sculptures figure prominently into architecture, urban art, and more fanciful ocean craft. However, he considers himself to be the sole upholder of artistic culture in Glasgow, and makes an effort to patronize all types of art, favoring the classics when he has no real passion of his own.

'''Appearance''': 
Frederic is tall, and thin, with flashing blue eyes and elaborately styled hair that most often is a sandy blond. He is fond of diaphanous, thin layers of pastel shirts and pants, and his shoe collection must be the envy of even Imelda Marcos.

'''Behavior''': Frederic usually affects a magnanimous mien; he is bring the art and culture of Paris to the hinterlands. He often speaks of his home, but it is apparent from his references that he has not returned to his sire's side in some time. He is either challenging or excessively courteous to visiting Toreador.

'''Secrets''': Your sire, Morgaine, is the Toreador Primogen of Paris. Great things are expected of those she patronizes, especially those she chooses to embrace. You were embraced to be a great sculptor. However, your vision and talent failed you immediately after you began to sustain yourself with blood. Similarly, you could not handle the social interplay of Paris's Elysia. Less than a year after your embrace, you tried to meet the sun. Your sire's agents prevented your suicide, and Morgaine exiled you from Paris, never to return. Thinking about the REAL Paris - not the whitewashed fantasies you spin to neonates - provokes the beast. Still, even though you have made a comfortable place for yourself in Glasgow, you dream of returning in triumph to the city of Lights.

Cellach MacTaggart

2014-01-03T22:00:18Z

Jamie:

;[[Glasgow]] / [[Brujah]]

'''Appearance''': Cellach MacTaggart looks every inch the Scottish footsoldier: He is a giant of a man with a mane of red hair usually pulled back with a badly strained ribbon, and a fiercely tangled red beard. He wears his family tartan whenever possible, and in Scotland he is never challenged for wearing a great-kilt. He even has his permits that state that he is a Druid, and the Claymore he customarily wears across his back is his religious talisman, and therefore legal (at least in most public locations).

'''Description''': Cellach is quick to laughter, and almost as quick to anger: As Glasgow's Sheriff, he is more the bully than the Sheriffs of most major cities, but few are willing to challenge him directly. He is generally unpopular with members of more effete clans, particularly the Tremere, who are quick to point out to newcomers that Sheriff MacTaggart is a pretender, no where near old enough to have earned the tartan and the sword. Still these tensions have remained social. When annoyed, Cellach piles on a Scottish accent enough to shatter glass, which even most Scots have trouble understanding.

'''Influence''': As Sheriff, Cellach has cultivated good relations with many police officers. Additionally, he is well liked in taverns and among laborers around Glasgow. He is known to employ retired police, soldiers and dockworkers with equal effectiveness.
