Although primarily a stage magician, his resonant baritone, ability to play to a crowd and modicum of showmanship have marked him out as a potential ringmaster.

Sobriquet: Darko, one of the diminutives of Bogdan.
Appearance: At the time of his Embrace, Bogdan stood 6ft-2inches (1.88m) tall and weighed 265 pounds (about 120 kilos). He appears to be in his late twenties, but with a chunky build and round face, he could have been as much as forty when he died the mortal death. Darko is bulky with more than just a touch of pudginess, enough to occasionally mitigate the aura of furious angst that so often surrounds him.
Bogdan could best be described as hefty, with both muscle and fat. His face is a nearly perfect oval accented by a bushy Van Dyke. Darko's hair and eyes are seal brown. He was Embraced with a typical mullet which has grown down past his lower back in a ponytail. And he has his share of body and chest hair of the same seal brown as his eyes.
Like all vampires, when Bogdan heals completely, he returns to this form, each and every time.
Since his arrival in Paris, Darko -- often used as his stage name, dresses flamboyantly in combinations of red, gold and black. Although primarily a stage magician, his resonant baritone, ability to play to a crowd and modicum of showmanship have marked him out as a potential ringmaster. As such, he often carries a twirling baton which seems to come alive in his pudgy, but surprisingly nimble fingers. And while his twirling baton act holds a hypnotic appeal, the crowd really goes wild when he ignites his baton for a show stopping pyrotechnic performance.
Behavior: Bogdan behavior is brooding and stoic, until he has an audience, then and only then does he truly come alive. He lives for the spotlight. The rapt attention of the audience and the thunder of applause that follows a successful performance are his spiritual meat and drink. Like all vampires, he thirsts eternally for that next taste of mortal blood, unfortunately, where most vampires have learned a degree of restraint when feeding, he tends to get lost in the blood, which is why his preferred prey are animals. When he is not distracted by the thirst or in the midst of a performance, the camaraderie of the carnival takes the place of family and in rare moments he is capable of a surprising degree of compassion and concern for his fellow performers. While he craves the attention and praise of mortals, he forces himself to avoid the limelight of Paris' night-society, for he knows of the animosity of the Parisian Toreador for any Ravnos. Upon the advice of the Western European Ravnos, he has assumed the position of Caitiff or Batard in Paris, a lie that eats at his pride, but a lie he must continue to tell if he wishes to continue his unnatural existence.
