History: A police inspector in New York City, King was on the trail of a murderer named Skarvan, who was suspected of killing and eating a four-year-old girl. Just when King thought he was about to capture the killer, he lost him. His failure ate at him, little by little, until he became desperate for justice. He raised a crowd of concerned citizens and began an illegal manhunt for Skarvan.
In the meantime, Skarvan, an eighth-generation Malkavian, had been watching the inspector from hiding. Outraged that a mere mortal might endanger him, he planned his revenge: to Embrace and torture King. The Malkavian arranged a particularly brutal Embrace for King, one akin to Sabbat ritual, in order to drive the inspector insane.
Immediately after Embracing King, Skarvan thrust the fledgling into a deep pit and covered him in alternating layers of dirt, worms and pieces from the Kook's previous victims. Skarvan crowned the pile with the blood of his latest victim. King, frenzied and in shock from the Embrace, clawed his way up through the layers. It took him more than four hours. By the end of that time, his initial panic had changed to horror, and then to anger.
As he reached the top, he greedily lapped up the blood that Skarvan had spilled and, giggling, began to suck on the bloodless body parts. Skarvan, silently grinning from ear to ear, slit open his own throat with a jagged claw and laid his head on King's lap. As the fledgling committed his first act of diablerie, he smiled to himself, thinking how clever he had been to escape the pit. (See: The Six Knights, below, for more information on why Skarvan committed suicide.)
