He is a man of average build, but his slender frame enhance a muscular appearance. He wears anything, from a gangsta's clothes to a smoking suit to a Set's priestly garb. He likes to wear discreet jewelry of egyptian style, even if he avoids the Ouadjet (also known as the Eye of Horus...).
Behavior: This man is a man of instincts. When he likes something, he abuses and uses it beyond endurance. A sensualist, his words are, like his gestures and eye movements, very feline, very graceful, giving to this man a feminine touch that bellies his virile frame.
History: Samson, known before as Setihem, was one of the favorite ghouls of Theti-Sheri. She had discovered him while attending a ceremony for the God Set, and Setihem's fervor, as well as depravation, combined with his knowledge of Alchemy, attracted her undivided attention.
Setihem spent a lot of time in Sechat's pyramid, in the company of Theti-Sheri, being her link with the external world, as well as supplier of fresh blood (slaves kidnapped).
By the time the Ventrue controlled romans took Egypt from the Toreador controlled greeks, Theti-Sheri was heading to Rome, with Setihem, named now Samson. The Ghoul once more showed his talent, and his drugs helped some mortals and undead to forget the day-to-day boring reponsibilities for much better worlds.
While Theti-Sheri and Samson were not exclusively to blame for the decaying and final crumbling of Roman civilization, they played their part, and played it very well. So much that Theti-Sheri decided to Embrace her Ghoul.
Samson and Theti appeared next in France, with the Court of Alexandre and Saviarre. They worked well, even if Theti went to Torpor after a vicious fight with Saviarre.
During this time, Samson observed, and chose his side, fighting along the Camarilla, and being recognized for his brawns, if not for his brain. Being Theti-Sheri's Childe, and being of african (nubian) origins helped him appear submitted and most dismissed him as some Kindred slave of the beautiful Theti. He even arranged some encounters between Theti and her lovers-wanabe.
After the 1789 Revolution, Samson changed his role. Assuming a false curiosity about the works of the famous Cagliostro, he is thought to have discovered some of Cagliostro's secrets, and became an alchemist of some renown among the Kindred of Paris.
Always interested by pleasures, he first introduced drugs that induced different effects on those drinking them. While he had little successes at first, Theti-Sheri helped him by using them a the Soirées de Débauche where she and selected Kindred discovered new (and ancient) forms of pleasure.
Soon, it was known Samson could create an additive that could keep the blood fresh (if not hot), and add to it different flavours (the most successful: Nectar d'une Vierge Amoureuse -- Nectar from a Virgin in Love!).
Soon, Samson's fame among the Kindred increased. The Tremere once tried to find the proof the drugs of Samson were used to take the control of Elders, but Gustacio, Regent of the Chantry of St Louis, who never hid his contempt for Samson, stepped in and unraveled one by one the arguments of his clanmate (The Corruption had used its influence over Gustacio to make him do it).
Now, the Elders are still there (if more debased) and Samson continues his experiences. The latest, used on a mortal, induced the famous Toreador Clan Weakness on the mortal and anyone drinking from him. Needless to say, the Kiss was more than ecstasy for the mortal and the Kindred, and the use of this substance, called Nectar des Muses began to spread among the non-Toreador and Toreador alike: As it as rumored it enhance Creativity (Some Poseur effectively created good works of art while under the effects of this drug), the Poseurs and non-Toreador hope to use it to increase their own status... Or to feel again (old Kindred tend to become non-sensitive) and thus fight the ennui that plague them.
Recent Events: Samson is really corrupting the Elders of Paris, but not with his drugs, which are nothing more than he claim them to be. Paris' Elders are old, and the ennui threaten to lead them to the tomb for at least thousand years of Torpor. Samson give their senses a new life, new perceptions, new feelings, and the Elders are easily addicted to this kind of pleasures. Drunk with pleasure, they easily slip into debased acts that weaken their Humanity, thus freeing a little more their Beast.
