Nigel Porter

New Orleans -x- Camarilla -x- Tremere

[[]]

Sobriquet: Mister Porter (most Kindred), Nigel (for friends and family), Master (for apprentices)

Appearance: Of average build, though a bit tall, Nigel has graying black hair, a mustache and trimmed beard. He has light brown eyes and tends to dress a bit conservatively.

Behavior: Nigel answers all questions directly, but offers no more information than is requested. He tends to refuse any request for help beyond the answering of a few simple questions. Most of his time is spent looking after his childe Sebastien and doing alchemical research.

History:

Recent Events: Since 1998, Nigel has been reunited with his sire Antonio, and it has been a bitter-sweet reunion. Most of Nigel's anger with his sire lay in the fact that Antonio abandoned him two centuries ago, with the burden of a suicidal childe while the Tremere hunted them all. Nigel sees his sire as inexcusably selfish and immature, both of which are true. Despite his deep-seated anger, he is beginning to see the efforts that Antonio is going through to establish a place of safety for them all. Secretly, Nigel is relieved that Antonio has taken the burden of watching Sebastien from him, allowing him to finally return to his beloved study of alchemy. But, he finds himself uncharacteristically jealous of Antonio's newest childe Marie, who Antonio has begged him to awaken from torpor with his alchemists' skill. In this one ploy, Antonio shows himself the elder, for both of them know that Nigel cannot resist the challenge of curing Marie with his concoctions and elixirs. To date, he has little success in thwarting the Setite curse set on Marie with his alchemy, but he recently received an ancient manual of Egyptian alchemy from an unidentified source. Though suitably suspicious, he has found no evidence of Setite involvement and has plunged deeply into the ancient treatise with his long lost fervor for the arcane.
