Circa: 2017 C.E.
Plots: That is ultimately up to the Storyteller.
Secrets
The Tremere primogen is blessed with the ability to enjoy food and drink. He usually exercises this ability for the purposes of drinking exotic teas. A solitary practitioner within the clan, Rebecca Grey, visits him once each month to bring him a fresh supply of herbs. She also informs him of recent events involving witchcraft and the Magi. These and other "human" tastes help him assume an alternate persona, one that travels freely through mortal and magical societies. It is a habit he adopts more often than anyone else in his clan, as he continues to research through experience.
At times, his contact with mortals has become so intimate that it presents a risk to the Masquerade. More precisely, he has a weakness for female flesh, and has taken many mortal lovers. It is a natural extension of his many scandals in his breathing days, when he engaged in furtive couplings with native women in Africa. He would promise to show his conquests the wonders of the civilized world, then promptly and conveniently forget them. As a good anthropologist, he learned the punishments for sullied women in a wide variety of tribes. The tribes he enjoyed most were the ones that killed the pregnant and disgraced women he left behind.
As a vampire, his abductions of the innocent are equally exploitative. Although he usually conditions the objects of his indiscretions to forget their supernatural affairs, proper application of that Discipline require him to abduct his victims for extended periods of time. It is only a matter of time, before he is exposed as a criminal, though he sees his need for "human contact" as proof of his own humanity, a sacrifice he makes for love. It is a degenerative enterprise that has corrupted him to his very core. Since Rebecca Grey guards her humanity and sanity with far greater vigilance, she would be horrified to discover what Bainbridge has secretly become, and might scheme to destroy him.
