Angelo

Anathema -x- Sabbat -x- Blood Brothers -x- Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex

Sobriquet: Ductus (official & respectful), Angelo (familiar & personal), Frankenstein (offensive & dead)

Appearance: The quintessential punk exterior is belayed by the strikingly handsome looks and physique. His looks are, in fact, too perfect, lending him an inhuman air. This appearance hides a calculating survivor. Angelo has a red teardrop tattoo on his left earlobe. His aura is monstrous, with red glowing eyes of its own. He wears his hair long, sometimes in a ponytail.

Behavior: Angelo has shed most of his derangements to date, but he still has difficulty controlling his passions. While this is a weakness, it is not nearly as extreme as the curse of the Brujah antitribu. The Sabbat has successfully purged him of his human emotions and the guilt associated with his human past, but like all Sabbat, he has replaced those human connections with vampiric relationships, of those, the most important of all are those of his Pack of Blood-Brother progeny. Angelo is very brooding and his emotions can be quite primal, this makes him both terrifying and attractive in equal measure. On the outside, Angelo is a daunting figure of vampiric machismo and on the inside he is an angry, disconnected youth, who is slowly learning to come to terms with his personal angst. As a vampire, Angelo is just now beginning to think about the future, his place in it and what he wants to achieve.

History: In his mortal days, Angelo was a gang leader in Los Angeles, who came to the decision to commit suicide after being responsible for the death of his younger brother by a rival gang. He injected a cocktail of various drugs and ran amok, along with gang, weacking havoc in the streets. A local Sabbat pack observed him and was delighted by the mortals activities. They visibly contrived a Fire Dance and Angelo joined them as a mortal, dancing through the flames and plunging his bare hands into coals.

The Pack decided to Embrace him and laced him of his drug-infested blood, becoming intoxicated themselves. As his blood and the drugs left his body, Angelo came to realize what happened and began to struggle, although without much effect. He was embraced and thrown into his grave, while the drug-ladden pack perished in the sun, unable to move.

Angelo rose from the earth and searched for shelter in an abandoned warehouse, weak and depleted from blood. Unknown to him, however, the warehouse was used as an experimental laboratory by pack of Tzimisce and Tremere antitribu, who sought to impove the ritual to create Blood Brothers. During the process, Angelo was haunted by visions of his younger brother, hearing the screams of the other test subjects in his mind and struggling in vain to protect them.

While the other subjects of the rite emerged as near-mindless, deformed husks, Angelo's physical body was enhanced, stronger and more beautiful than in life. The others of his cycle proved to be unresponsive to the commands of their creators and only he was able to give them orders. Frustrated by the half-sucess, the coven chose to experiment on Angelo alone, removing his cycle-mates from him, which resulted in a much more aggressive behaviour from him.

When they decided to destroy and Dominate him, Angelo frenzied, killed one of the sorcerers and fled to his brothers, fusing them into his body and transforming into a hideous beast that slaughtered the entire coven, even when all of his brethren died in thaumaturgical conjured fire.

Angelo wandered the West Coast, the pictures of his brothers - both mortal and undead- forever burned in his mind. He became a nearly insane wreck, as he tried to embrace those that reminded him of his brother, only to have them attack him in Frenzy.

His unhealthy obsession with fire, as well as his ability to apparently control his Frenzies made him the target of Tremere interests after he killed a number of vampires in Baltimore. They added him to Red List and sought to gain a probe of his blood to analyze.

As an update to the Red List, Angelo was recruited into the Sabbat in 2012.

Recent Events: Angelo was assigned the assassination of the young Alastor Jeremy Sanderson; the assassination attempt went sideways and neither Angelo nor the Alastor held the upper hand for long. In the end, it was the agents of the Technocracy who broke up their battle in a gentrified neighborhood of downtown Houston.
