Marcus Williams

Marcus Williams is a Lasombra vampire.

Biography

Williams was born in El Paso, the son of a wealthy businessman^[1]. He followed in his father's footsteps, entering the business world with an excellent education. At his own request, he started at the lowest levels and worked his way up without the benefit of nepotism. His natural skill at making money and managing affairs quickly made him a wealthy man - he was a millionaire by 30.

Williams' business acumen attracted the attention of the conservative Lasombra of El Paso. While they supported the idea that the Sabbat should, in general, not bother itself with mortal affairs, they recognized that the Sword of Caine does need money. Thus, the city's Bishop of Finance Embraced Williams. The neonate took to the vampiric condition like a fish to water, although he resented his sire for taking business holdings away.

Without direct control of his assets, Williams decided to leave El Paso rather than work under his creator. He soon hooked up with a few other Cainites with interests in the business world and formed the pack he now leads. This group was dedicated to fighting the Camarilla where it really hurt - the wallet. Currently numbering four members and led by Williams, the pack wields a great deal of business influence in the United States and Mexico. The pack became involved in the Savannah effort after being brutally rebuffed by the Camarilla's Ventrue in New York, so headed south to rebuild. Eager for a chance to stick it to the Ventrue, Williams placed himself under Jane Sims' command.

His pack

Williams' packmates are Andreas (a fellow Lasombra who is the pack's priest and who has contacts in organized crime), Rachel (a Jewish Tzimisce with contacts among jewelers and bankers), and Patrick (a Brujah antitribu who serves mainly as muscles and bodyguard).
