Otieno
Appearance: A normal looking African boy in his late teens.
History: 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.
Personality: Otieno is a very serious person, given to deep thinking and philosophy which balances out the violence of his life-style.
