The Serpent of Paris, Jean-Batiste
Appearance
Jean-Batiste is tall and broad shouldered, with a few old scars decorating his chest and shoulders from his time fighting in crusades. His shoulder length black hair is commonly held back with a cord or clip away from his face.
Behavior
Jean-Batiste is a very casual, and very mercenary. He is a dedicated hedonist and pursues his own goals at all times. He misses being able to just drink wine and getting completely blasted, so he has mastered the art of taking alcohol and drugs via human. Jean-Batiste will seldom let anything sway him away from debauchery unless it might cause him great pain in the present.
History
Jean-Batiste drunkenly joined the Third Crusade, and rather than let his son go back on his word, his father pressured Jean-Batiste to carry out his duty. Rather than lose his inheritance, he joined the Count de Champagne on his journey to the Holy Land. While delayed in Messina in Sicily, he found himself indulging in all manner of depravity and heresies under the rationale that the Pope had promised all sins would be forgiven to Crusaders. After only a few weeks, he abandoned his duty to the Cross and gave in to the Cult of Set.
Jean-Batiste de Montrond was Embraced to protect the Temple of Set in Messina from Assamite assassins hired by the local Cainites to eliminate his brood. He escaped back to Paris, embracing and ghouling others along the way to found a new Temple of Set in the City of Love. He is more interested in his own desires and ambitions, however, than serving Set by the strictest Egyptian traditions. By 1230 AD, he had yet to have his faith tested by a true adherent of Set.
Residing in the Latin Quarter of Paris, he shares his domain with the socialite and physician, Veronique d'Orleans, a Brujah with whom he developed a close friendship despite their philosophical differences.
