Nathaniel Simmons, the Scourge of London

London - Pax Britannica -VAL-Gangrel

Appearance: A hirsute mountain of a man, Simmons has become a trifle arrogant. He prides himself on his immaculate grooming, from his perfect mutton chop sideburns to his carefully combed and oiled hair. In other words he is stylish, but only for a rustic Gangrel. His thick wool garments show meticulous hand crafted patterns. Yet in the thrill of the hunt, he becomes unraveled, showing the maniac passions of a wild man.

Background: From early on, Simmons's only pleasure was the hunt. As his family was poor, he often poached the local wildlife, until he was eventually caught. He was brought before the local lord, and was saved from execution by the Gangrel domitor of the secretly ghouled lord. Vilmius ghouled Simmons after he had proven his worth by aiding the noble's son in succeeding his father by killing him. The old Gangrel had made a game out of this, pitting son against father. For centuries Simmons and his domitor lived there, until Archon Geoffrey Leigh discovered the practices of the Gangrel overlord. Desperate, Vilmius set fire to the estate and Embraced Nathaniel, hoping that the frenzied neonate would distract the Archon long enough that he could escape. Instead, Simmons betrayed his sire and left afterward, wandering through various domains and dabbling in Camarilla politics. Soon he was feared as a master of the Blood Hunt, always killing his prey before dawn. When he eventually settled in London, many Cainites watched their steps more closely, for everyone knew that if a hunt were to be called out, it would be fatal.

Personality: Simmons walks a fine line between civility and ferocity. He strains to maintain proper etiquette when dealing with his social superiors. Yet he also maintains a strained relationship with the other Gangrel, who either regard him as a legend or condemn him for being too cosmopolitan. He is impatient with subterfuge, preffering direct threats and confrontation. For the nonce, he supports the status quo, but seeing so many Gangrel treated as low class citizens in Camarilla society grates on him.

Position: Former Seneschal.
