Roger Meeks
- New Orleans -NOLA- Camarilla -NOLA- Nosferatu
Sobriquet:
Appearance: A tall, slim Nosferatu with short brown hair and brown eyes. He almost always dresses in current fashions.
Behavior: He speaks very quietly and does not like contact with others but tolerates it for the sake of his business.
History: Roger is Lawrence Meeks' second childe. Though he knew he would likely never enjoy the prestige that Lawrence's first childe had, he hoped he would at least be help in slightly higher esteem than Lawrence's third child, Martin. Unfortunately for Roger, that was not to be the case.
Lawrence Embraced Roger, a spy for the Confederacy before and after the Battle of New Orleans, in 1865. At first Roger had grave misgivings about the occupation for which Lawrence had chosen him, having felt himself a less than talented spy.
Still, for the next several years Roger did his best to please Lawrence, following closely in his sire's footsteps and successfully completing nearly every task Lawrence gave him. Them Lawrence created his third childe.
Roger felt insulted by Lawrence's creation of another child, as though somehow Lawrence did not find in him all he desired. Lawrence saw a certain benefit to the competitiveness between Roger and Martin; indeed, he encourage it, showing a bit more attention to the one who performed a given task better than the other.
When Lawrence announced he was leaving the network, Roger had few doubts that he would be chosen as its head. When Martin took control, Roger was infuriated. Roger vowed to himself that he would never again strive so hard for something only to be denied.
Only a few short weeks later, Roger begin finding other rewards for his work. Other Kingdre, he found, were wiling to pay considerably for his information. His best customer — Roxy — came to him soon after the death of Doran. This business, however has not been his most profitable sideline.
While searching for information about disappearances in the city, Roger inadvertently stumbled across an auction where young neonates were sold to elders for their blood. Not thinking it very wise to kill a Nosferatu in Prince Marcel's service, those running the auction figured it would be easier to buy Roger's silence, when they managed to do for a sizable sum. In order to fulfill his part of the agreement, Roger continues to "search for clues" and report his findings to Martin, steering him away from the auction. But the auction eventually was discovered and run out of New Orleans. But Roger's part in all of it was not discovered. At least that's what Roger believes. When in reality it was his sire that pulled his fat out of the fryer.
Roger still sells information to Roxy and other Kindred whenever he can. While the auction scheme lasted he earned himself quite the nest egg and with the bits of income he gets from Roxy and the others he exists very comfortable and focuses his attentions now on undoing Martin.
