Necross
Necross is a Malkavian methuselah with an extensive knowledge about the occult and the founder of the Great Library of Vancouver. He is the most prominent Malkavian in Vancouver and leader of the Nosferatu.
Biography
Necross was Embraced in 320 BCE, and is rumored to be an experienced thaumaturgist, but most believe this rumor is likely to be misleading propaganda. Amongst other prominent rumors about Necross is that he knows the secrets of Golconda and/or is able to break blood bonds.
Today, he leads a group of Nosferatu in western Canada, maintaining and protecting the Great Library. He is thought to be the only one allowed within this construct. Whether this was planned or coincidence is unknown. The local Nosferatu are completely in his thrall, quite literally worshipping him. He uses them as proxies to interact with Prince Siegfried of Vancouver, who has come to grant the Nosferatu many privileges for their prudent advice, not knowing that a Malkavian is behind them. He has also contacts to the Canadian Lupines, who approached him in order to convince the Prince to agree to the Covenant, a non-aggression treaty between vampires and werewolves.
Necross' Clan Curse manifests in a multitude of alternate personalities, all shifting according to outside stimuli. This makes contact with him difficult.
Appearance
Necross stands a little under six feet and is quite handsome. He has short brown hair and no distinguishing marks. In fact, aside from his natural charisma and good looks, his appearance is nondescript.
Haven
Necross lives in a secret lair under the streets of Gastown. His haven is closely guarded by the Nosferatu. He almost never comes up out of the sewers and gets his blood from Vessels the Nosferatu bring to him.
Influence
Necross has little influence over the politics of Vancouver, since very few vampires know he exists. If for some reason he ever decides to re-emerge into the "real" world, Necross will have the attention and respect of the prince and the lupines.
Personalities
Burt is a little paranoid. He's a "neat-freak". The first thing he'll do upon "arrival" is to demand anyone who is "dirty" to leave immediately. Burt will then start organizing and re-organizing the entire office, but only after he's sure that the "others" didn't send the player characters to take him back. Who the "others" are, and where "back" is, Burt won't say, but he will shudder when asked about them and demand that nobody mention the topic ever again.
Darla will seem to be the most clear-headed of the personalities, next to Necross himself. She knows about all the other personalities, but knows nothing about the politics of the city or the lupines. If questioned, she can explain the basics about most of the other personalities and how to get on their good side(s). What Darla doesn't know is that she is a vampire, and she certainly will not talk about nonsense like werewolves.
Siegfried has delusions of grandeur. Since he arrived in Vancouver, Necross has developed a new personality, one which believes he is prince of the city. The Siegfried personality doesn't know about any of the other personalities, but had a very good understanding of how the real Siegfried thinks and can seem frighteningly like the real prince. This personality knows something about the truce between the lupine and kindred and is familiar with a little of the politics. Unfortunately, he's a little off-kilter too, so anyone trying to use Necross/Siegfried as an "experimental subject" to determine how the real prince will react is likely to be sorely disappointed.
Gered is a trouble-maker and thrill-seeker. Unlike Necross and the Siegfried personality, Gered has some knowledge of the other personalities, but won't talk about them. Gered doesn't care about the politics of the city; he just wants to get into a fight or blow something up.
