Biography

Don't worry about your companions. "It's all done with mirrors", remember?

Calabris was the wayward chide of Prince Villon of Paris. Unlife proved pleasurable to the young prodigy. He quickly became the toast of Paris at the zenith of its dominance over European culture. The power went to his head and Calabris became cruel and decadent. Eventually banished under threat of a Blood Hunt, the pampered vampire was forced to fend for himself for the first time.

Calabris took up with a murderous band of Ravnos cutthroats in the Carpathians and quickly became their leader. He soon realized that of all his artistic talents, his greatest one was that of illusion, and became one of its foremost practitioners.

During the mid-1600s Calabris came across the Carnival, which was undergoing a power struggle within the Infernal Trinity. The Trinity's vampiric member, a powerful Tremere named Mordblund, was close to gaining dominance over the other two members. Astarte and Anastagio promised Calabris the coveted third place in Trinity in return for his aid. Together the three drove the Tremere into the hall of mirrors, where his screams are still heard to this day.

In the centuries since that time, Calabris has woven his illusions throughout the carnival, remaking its surface appearance to fit his own desires. In addition to his chimeric powers, Calabris is an extremely talented stage magician and master of misdirection.

Recently, Calabris sometimes feels pity and compassion as Roman goddess Cara regains influence on the circus.

Appearance

Powerful and sinister in appearance Calabris is the most formidable-looking member of the Infernal Trinity. He has black eyes, a pointed beard and arched eyebrows, overall seeming Mephistophelean. He appoints himself in Victorian style, wearing a top hat and a voluminous black cloak. He carries a silver- handled sword-cane that burns with a pale green light when drawn. In low light Calabris' form seems to shift unnaturally, as though viewed through cloudy water.
