Gerard Leduc

Paris -P- The History of the Brujah in Paris -P- Brujah Antitribu

Sobriquet: Gerard

Appearance: A beautiful twenty-something boy. His hair are never combed, they reach his shoulders. He wears T-shirts and old jeans with holes. His baskets are as old as his jeans, they should be changed but hey! they are still functional, aren't they? He never wears any branded clothes as he doesn't want to be a living advert... He seems to be a Nivana fan, doesn't he?

Behavior: Always friendly and nice with everyone, he speaks with an engaging though loud voice. He's got always something cool to do and knows how to have fun. He never speaks Kindred politic claiming he's not interested in that matter. In short, he's your perfect little Anarch...

However, he's a skilled manipulator : that side of his inner self appeared when he became Sabbat and realized that his very survival was tied to his ability to manipulate his fellow pack members. He's good at getting info from anyone without raising any suspicion. Moreover, he's begun to spread Sabbat philosophy around him and the people who frequents him regularly often found themselves encouraging Gérard to stop his comfortable unlife and fight the Elders. How naive...

History: Gérard Leduc was born in 1967 just one year before the troublesome events of May 68. His parents were living within a hippie community (at that time the countryside wasn't so far from Paris...) and they took their part in the Parisian riots. Thus, as a child Gérard was taught conformism was death of the mind. Later, he learned he should just get his way of life, respecting others but not caring about what they could think of him. Finally, when he reached 20, Gérard was a very unconventional boy.

A fan of hard rock music, he had made some friends within a gang of bikers. One night while he was visiting them, the group get caught in a fight with a rival gang. Gérard's friends easily routed out the attackers save two of them, a man and a young girl. Everyone thought the fight was over when suddenly the man and the girl began to move so quickly that Gérard's eyes couldn't follow them. A few seconds later, it was really over: Gérard couldn't believe it but all his friends were dead, killed by only two people. And he went wild when he saw the two of them drinking the very blood of his dead friends.

Like Alberto, Karine was very surprised to see that mortal attacking her when any normal guy would have fled long ago. Moreover, he was a very good fighter... Of course, she easily defeated him and once she knocked him out, she realized the man was beautiful... She had been embraced at the age of 16, and though she was more than 70, she was still a teen at heart.

She had served the pack well so Gianluca allowed her to give him the Creation Rites, and her newfound lover survived. It was harsh for Gérard. At first, he had absolutely no affection for Karine. Then, he was an Iconoclast at heart and had serious difficulties to cope with Gianluca's discipline. When Karine died during a successful but dangerous mission, things get worse. Only his good relations with Alberto (they have the same musical tastes) kept the young Kindred in line.

Finally, Gianluca decided it was better for the pack to use Gérard as a spy within the Anarchs. As a Brujah Antitribu, he found it quite easy to get his place within Anarch society, and was since introduced in the Brujah Clan and Presented to François Villon.

Since that time, Gérard leads some kind of happy unlife: he's free to do what he wants most of the time.
