I am Antoine De Vries,
former Bishop and Regent of Venezzia during the Reinassance, and the last Sabbat member who ruled in an Italian city. Toreador
of the Sabbat at your service... I was born to darkness at the tender age of 24... times were different then, I was a man
at that age. Son a wealthy man in France, was sent to get married with the daughter of one of the Medici in Florence, Isabella...
The whore carried her uncle's bastard son in her womb, I guess I should have killed her and the unborn child, but I guess
I fell in love with her... a 19 year old, the same age I had when we got married, the years passed and I met the Son of a
Bitch who turned me into what I am now. 10 years passed and gave the Dark Gift to my wife and 5 years later to her son,
Alexandro, by request of his mother... I can't say no to beutiful creatures.
Centuries passed and I
met the Borgias in Vennezia, took one of the Caesar's bastards under my wing and tought him all the world had to offer during
those times... I had been a vampire for 300 years, me and my family used to be surrounded by the italian and european aristocracy
during the golden years. Once I became the Bishop and Sabbat Regent, we were to be known as The Angels of Death by the Camarilla
and some members of the Sabbat. So... about that poor bastard, his name was Giovanni Borgia, I took him as a newborn and got
him raised by the best teachers of Europe, and then one night, I gave the Dark Gift to him at the age of 13 years old; that
was not a problem during those times, one came of age at a tenderly age... but now I see that HE is the only mistake
I've made during my immortal life. But, again, I love all my childer. Giovanni was my last childe, haven't given my blood
to another, not even to ghoul a human being.
Those were the Golden Years
for us... until the Holy Roman Empire fell, and along with it, my government. The Camarilla invaded Italy and took over Rome,
Florence and my beloved Venezzia.
Me and my "family" managed to flee the city and attended
the Council of Milan, afterwards we got separated and each of us went to sleep to different parts of the world. The only ones
who stayed together were Isabella and her son Alexandros, I think they went to sleep somewhere in the norther regions of Europe.
About Giovanni... I believe he went to sleep somewhere
in Italy or Spain, I'm not so sure, I guess he was the strongest vampire I made besides my beloved Isabella.
As for me, I went to sleep to the city where I was
born, Paris. Let's just say I had a long long nap, missing the wars and all those movements that affected your history.
Now let's move to the present, shall we? I'm awake,
walking once more time with the living and looking for my childer, hoping that somenight we shall make the Coven again and
help my brethren in Caine to recover the city.
I am the Angel of Death, my face is the way to the
Other World, go there immediately.
