Thorton Bryant
- Birmingham / London / Ventrue
In life, Thorton Bryant was a lawyer, and a Labour Politician involved in London city government. After two decades of championing the weak(ish) and (slightly) downtrodden, he retired to his west-end estate, and a new existence.
Along with dozens of young Ventrue, he scattered from London when the rumor of a Sabbat Siege made the rounds. After all, it was the safe thing to do. It had become apparent that the powers in London were covering their own arseses and preparing for something big, while leaving the rank-and-file out of the loop. Thorton is torn between knowing that there was absolutely nothing he could have done, and feeling like a coward for not doing it. He has become a leading voice among those young Ventrue who believe that the Sabbat are tools of the Daeva, and that the Elders of London sold out to them.
Appearance: A "silver fox," with iron-grey hair, Thorton stands tall atop his lean 5'10" frame. He usually wears the second-most-expensive off-the-rack grey suits money can buy (the better to project a "man-of the people" image). Since fleeing from London, his frame has grown noticeably stockier, as he has begun wearing kevlar in anticipation of further trouble.
Recent Events: After a decade of trying to network with like-minded young Camarilla, and building up his team of security ghouls, Thorton joined Archon Brian O'Reilly's knightly order in 2029. This is the first chance he has seen to actually do something against the Sabbat, and he is not surprised at the hostile reaction the group has gotten from the entrenched powers (his rhetoric names them "Tories.")
Because of his proven leadership abilities, he has been elevated to leader of the "Lance" combat group in the wake of the death of Jurgis Azoulis.
