Appearance:
Behavior: In his maturity, Vannevar is presented as a very powerful vampire, but his greatest strengths are his allies. Nickolai, a Russian Ventrue acting as his right hand, was apparently privy to sensitive information regarding very important Kindred, and thanks to these secrets, the pair managed to persuade Karsh into letting them stay in control of San Francisco. Other powerful allies of Vannevar were Benedict, the martial artist and Tremere primogen of San Francisco; Iwo, a Japanese wizard of some sort; and Hortator - some kind of Aztec warlock.
History: Vannevar Thomas was born into an aristocratic family in colonial Virginia in 1729, and as an adult fought in the American War of Independence. When he was captured by the British as a prisoner of war in 1781, his sire saved his mortal life and Embraced him.
During his years as a neonate, Vannevar served as a dignitary for the Camarilla. On the eve of the French Revolution in 1789, he traveled to Versailles in an attempt to persuade François Villon and Marie Antoinette of the danger of the political situation in France. While he did not succeed in this task, he did make a number of important connections with other Kindred, including his future lover, the Toreador Suzanne Rochelle, the Warlord Karsh, Lucita de Aragon, and the architect Zelios, who Vannevar encouraged to travel to North America.
In 1849, he was sent to the West Coast by the Camarilla in order to secure the region for the sect, a task he has been dedicating his nights to ever since.
Recent Events: Vannevar and several of San Francisco's Primogen were assassinated in a single night late in 1999. It is widely believed that a Wu of Kuei-jin assassins were responsible for the prince's final death. Vannevar Thomas has a large brood and only a few who were closest to him died alongside their sire, the rest either fled the city or went underground.
