	== '''History:''' ==		== '''History:''' ==
			The Ventrue methuselah Collat, the Prince of Rome at the time, saw potential<br>
			in the young mortal Camilla and made him a ghoul, educating him in the ways<br>
			of rulership among both Cainites and kine. Camilla was Embraced by Collat in<br>
			the 4th century BCE. (One source suggests that Camilla may have instead been<br>
			sired by Collat's own sire, the Etruscan methuselah Tinia.) When Rome fought<br>
			the Pyrrhic War, Camilla met his renowned clanmates Lysander and Artemis.<br>

			Camilla knew little of what lay beyond the Roman Empire and the tutelage of his<br>
			sire; Lysander educated him in debates that went on over the course of years,<br>
			and Artemis educated him by example rather than through dialogue. Through these<br>
			two, Camilla saw an alternative to his sire's desire for Cainites (Ventrue or<br>
			otherwise) to remain in the shadows, reacting to mortal history instead of shaping<br>
			it. Soon after, Camilla returned to his sire in Rome and explained his new vision<br>
			for the future of Cainites and of Rome. With Lysander's aid, Camilla slew Collat<br>
			and claimed his domain as the Prince of Rome, although both Camilla and Lysander<br>
			would maintain that Collat merely stepped down and vanished into history upon hearing<br>
			Camilla's message.<br>

			At some point in the century that followed, the adventurer and philosopher Tanitbaal-Sahar<br>
			(supposedly a Brujah, but actually a Baali) arrived in Rome. The pair became lovers, and<br>
			Sahar taught Camilla the ways of the Road of Desire, which would soon be known as the Road<br>
			of Sin. Camilla became a prolific scholar of this Road, and authored texts that would survive<br>
			among adherents of the Road for millennia. This relationship was cut short when Tanitbaal-Sahar<br>
			was called to join his sire Tanit in Tyre. Sahar's ship vanished during the journey, and he was<br>
			never seen again.<br>

			;The Punic Wars with Carthage
			A few decades after Sahar's disappearance, relations between the Cainites of Rome and Carthage reached<br>
			a tipping point. Tales spread of infernal deeds committed by the Brujah of Carthage and their allies,<br>
			the Baali, under the leadership of the Brujah Antediluvian Troile and its Baali consort, Moloch. Camilla<br>
			was urged to make war against these corrupt Carthaginian Cainites not only by his Malkavian and Toreador<br>
			allies, but also by the counsel of the renegade Baali Cybele. Camilla pushed the Eternal Senate (the Roman<br>
			equivalent of the primogen) to declare war; they did so, granting him even greater status in the process.<br>

			Roman Cainites and mortals soon sailed to Carthage in the Third Punic War. As word of the corruption in<br>
			Carthage spread, Camilla's alliance was joined by the Lasombra, Cappadocians, and Gangrel, among others.<br>
			The deciding factor was the assistance of the Toreador, who had previously supported both parties until<br>
			Camilla offered them influence in both Rome and Carthage; as part of this exchange, the Romans received<br>
			crucial information on Carthage's undead from the Methuselah Helena. By the war's end, Carthage was destroyed<br>
			at Lysander's behest, and the Brujah dream of a Third City lay in ruin at the feet of the Ventrue-led invaders.<br>
			As for Troile and Moloch, they were bound in torpor beneath its salted fields thanks to Cybele's blood sorcery.<br>

			Ironically, Camilla's success in uniting the clans during the Punic Wars weakened his clan in Rome, as many<br>
			disparate Cainites took the opportunity to travel to Rome. Following the example of the mortal Roman Emperor<br>
			Augustus (formerly Octavian), Camilla codified the authority of the Ventrue over their domains, ensuring that<br>
			his clanmates ruling elsewhere in the Roman Empire would have the same control over their own domains that he<br>
			held over Rome. The gatherings of the empire's Ventrue Senators are often cited as the forebears of the Conclaves<br>
			of the Camarilla, but are more similar to the localized Ventrue institution of the Gerousia (the Board of Directors<br>
			in modern nights). Camilla also attempted, with less success, to restrict the influence of other clans over the<br>
			Eternal Senate.<br>

			;Decline and Fall
			Over the centuries, Camilla grew increasingly detached from the affairs of state. He vanished during the Great Fire<br>
			that devastated Rome in 64 CE, and was presumed to have met his Final Death in the blaze. Some believe that Camilla<br>
			was in fact slain during the fire by Petronius; this is unlikely, however, since Petronius was not Embraced by the<br>
			Toreador methuselah Beshter until the following year. In Camilla's absence, the Eternal Senate fell into obscurity,<br>
			and some believe that its body of membership became the foundation of the Inconnu.<br>

			In actuality, Camilla simply let himself fall into torpor without the companionship of Tanitbaal-Sahar to sustain his<br>
			existence. More than a millennium later, he was reawakened by an earthquake in 1229 – one that, coincidentally enough,<br>
			had caused the destruction of the then-current Prince of Rome, Constantius. Immediately seeing the decline that had<br>
			befallen Romans and Cainites alike, Camilla sought out the lost lore of the Road of Sin, and within a year had gathered<br>
			a number of wayward Sinners to himself.<br>

			As of 1242, Camilla had styled his court to counter the court of the pope, proclaiming himself the Pontifex Maximus of the<br>
			Damned or Pontiff of Sin. He left Cainites to do as they pleased, intervening only in crises. The system worked because Roman<br>
			traditions lend stability to resident vampires, but Camilla chafed against Christianity and the dominant morals of restraint.<br>
			He supported challenges to the Papacy, and in doing so risked attracting the attention of Faith's soldiers and followers of<br>
			the Road of Heaven. Unbeknownst to him, his actions were backed by Cretheus, who sought to use the depravity of the prince to<br>
			incite a reckoning of the Church against the city's Cainites, hoping that some that had remained steadfast would find their way<br>
			to Golconda. Camilla's activities following the Dark Ages era are unknown.<br>

			;Possible Futures
			Beckett's Jyhad Diary implies that Camilla eventually fell into torpor again and rose in the beginning of the 21th century.<br>
			He clashed with the Malkavian Lados, who has made it his goal to track him down.<br>
