Path of Enlightenment: Road of Humanity 4
Willpower: 5 [Formerly 9] -- In April of 1096 Mercuzio was attacked psychically by Beatrix of Paris. Her use of Carnage of the Mind garnered (4) successes on her first attack and (5) on her second attack. The first attack essentially shattered Mercuzio's willpower leaving him will in tatters and her second attack drove him directly into torpor. This titanic struggle is now a source of more than one Toreador epic and has through its permutations driven both parties into the Sleep of Ages. Will the Toreador ever be the same?
