Generally underrated by both his father, a peasant of no particular education or intelligence, and his older brothers who wanted no extra rivals, Sebastian often felt inadequate and overcompensated to a dangerous degree. This led to costly mistakes and to serious sibling rivalries that ultimately resulted in the death of his next eldest brother and the collective resentment of his family. Thereafter Sebastian was rather cruelly nicknamed ''Tornincasa'', a term for a boy born into a family directly after the death of a previous son and means the ''one who returns.'' Normally such epithets are positive sobriquet, but in this instance it was more a matter of a bad penny turning up when least wanted. | Generally underrated by both his father, a peasant of no particular education or intelligence, and his older brothers who wanted no extra rivals, Sebastian often felt inadequate and overcompensated to a dangerous degree.

Sobriquet: My Prince or Your Grace
Appearance: Sabastian looks to be in his mid-thirties. Handsome by some standards, he stands 5' 8 tall but he is very strong build. Black hair and dark brown eyes, he still has a hint of Mediterranean complexation that speaks of his mortal life.
Behavior: Toc speaks in a very straight forward manner. He is polite and speaks with a slight Italian accent.
History: Sebastian di Vezzani was born in 1694, the son of Corsican peasants, a middle child who struggled ceaselessly to escape the oppressive domination of his older siblings and to steal what little food and attention her could from his parents rather seeing it all given to those younger than himself. Being born into inescapable poverty, filth and hunger, the young Sebastian had to become self-reliant in order to survive and quite ruthless in order to gain those things necessary to reach adulthood.
Generally underrated by both his father, a peasant of no particular education or intelligence, and his older brothers who wanted no extra rivals, Sebastian often felt inadequate and overcompensated to a dangerous degree. This led to costly mistakes and to serious sibling rivalries that ultimately resulted in the death of his next eldest brother and the collective resentment of his family. Thereafter Sebastian was rather cruelly nicknamed Tornincasa, a term for a boy born into a family directly after the death of a previous son and means the one who returns. Normally such epithets are positive sobriquet, but in this instance it was more a matter of a bad penny turning up when least wanted.
For the next few years Tornincasa ate with the pigs, slept with the dogs and gained only negative attention from family members who used him as a scapegoat until he was old enough to become an actual villain. During these years Corsica lay under the dominion of an alternating array of either Genoese or French nobles who held marginal mastery over the Corsican land and people by controlling a series of networked castles and crushing dissent in coastal towns through the application of mercenaries.
Toc was one of the leaders of the Anarches of San Francisco in simpler days but survived the purge that killed a great deal of the elders and found himself to be one of the most powerful left.
Recent Events: Toc has risen to the Princedom in the last 6 months. He is still building the classic Camarilla social structure.
Demonstrated Abilities: Toc has show ability with all the Brujah disciplines as well as Auspex and Dominate. He has influence in the media and police.
