Brian O'Reilly's Associates
Adrian Cruz (Toreador – 11th)
Background: Is a native of Jackson Heights in Queens; he comes from a traditional Hispanic family and was embraced in 1991. He is a graphic artist who has worked in the comic-book industry for the last 20 years. He currently lives in a brownstone house in Cobble Hill to be closer to his sire and the artistic community.
Appearance: Adrian is a striking ‘young’ man with an olive complexion and long lustrous black hair. As a mortal he worked as a male model, male escort and stripper to pay his way through art school; one of his more mundane passions is body building.
Personality: He can be outgoing and easy to be with; except when the artistic fever is upon him, then he can be very difficult if interrupted and tends during these times to be reclusive.
Sire: Yvette
Disciplines: Auspex 4, Celerity 1, Presence 3
Note: Met in New York after/during Sabbet attack
Otieno (Laibon – 9th)
Background: Otieno was born among the Luo people of East Africa, when things began to fall apart in that part of the world during the 1990s, his family came to America. New York was a shock to Otieno’s family as they were forced to live in the Bedford – Stuyvesant neighborhood, a black ‘hood’ with a nasty reputation.
Otieno quickly fell in with the wrong crowd, a very ‘wrong’ crowd and found himself a foot-soldier in the Sabbat – Camarilla War. This war was just the sort of conflict that Otieno’s family came to America to avoid and so they turned to a tribal ‘sorcerer’ to free him from this war. Otieno traded the war of the Sects for the Curse of Caine and neutrality; unfortunately the Sabbat didn’t appreciate that and murdered his entire family. Because of this, Otieno is a staunch supporter of the Camarilla and a willing foot-soldier in its war against the Sabbat, with which he has a personal vendetta. Otieno wasn’t born with that name; he took it after the Embrace, for it means “born at night” in the language of the Luo Tribes.
Appearance: A normal looking African boy in his late teens.
Personality: Otieno is a very serious person, given to deep thinking and philosophy which balances out the violence of his life-style.
Sire: Tendaji the Sorcerer
Disciplines: Abombwe 4, Animalism 2, Potence 2
Note: Met in New York after/during Sabbet attack
Nigel Blake (Ventrue – 7th)
Background: Blake came to New York as part of the European Camarilla strike-force; he is a native of London, England. He was trained as a Shakespearean stage actor, but also served the Crown as a highly proficient spy. He doesn’t talk about his embrace, but occasionally waxes poetic about his sire, a woman who was introduced to him as a quote “woman of the night’ unquote.
Appearance: A dashingly hansom, elderly English actor with a taste for finery and frippery.
Personality: Blake can be rediculously charming when he wants to be and is something of British snob. He likes to speak as if everyone is his audience and they are caught on his every word; he is also quite popular with certain young men.
Sire: Lady Anne Bowesley
Disciplines: Auspex 4, Dominate 4, Fortitude 4, Obfuscate 3, Presence 6
