Baron Ognyan
Baron Ognyan Knight of the Ordo Dracul
11th Generation Old Clan Tzimisce, embraced 1126, in torpor 1126 to 1954
Nickname: The Firey One
Domain: Ognyan is the only of the Ordo who doesn't control his own domain. He is establishing a domain in a foundry in Gabrovo, Bulgaria.
Description: Ognyan stands a stocky and well muscled 1.7 meters, crowned by unkempt overly long red hair. Scowling lips frame scraggly teeth. Though he shaves regularly, Ognyan was embraced with a lopsided four day reddish beard.
Notes: As a mortal, Ognyan was a poorly trained foot soldier with an aptitude for following orders. Ognyan was embraced during the Omen War as Gargoyles were on the verge of overwhelming his master's stronghold. Somehow, he failed to contract Vicissitude. Within a month of his embrace, he was buried in the masonry of his sire's subterranean stronghold, left and forgotten through the centuries.
In 1954, a member of the Southern Courts excavated tomb in search of a secure haven of his own. Recognizing his probable ancestry, his benefactor turned him over to Prince Chavdar. Count Haralambi took responsibility for his education. He then chose to petition Duke Damyan for fosterage, as a knightly order was the closest thing he has to a structure he recognizes, and far beyond his wildest peasant's dreams. He was inducted into the order in 1986.
In combat, Ognyan usually stands in the fore, hacking his opponents down with brutal simplicity. Under Haralambi's influence, he has begun to consort with fire spirits, who's angry nature meshes with his own frustration. He prefers a mace or pole arm, though he realizes very well that swords are better against vampires.
In 2008, he struck a deal with Benesh the Black, Seneschal to Baron Milan Svarovicev. In return for military support, he has received a monthly stipend and a haven of his own in Gabrovo. He is tutoring the Baron's childe, Yakiv Kulic, in the ways of Vampiric combat in return for tutelage in the ways of the modern world.
