A priest who unwillingly got ordained into unlife after an unfortunate encounter with one of the regulars at his parish.
Personality
Aloof.
Anxious, and bottles up his emotions often.
Keeps people at arm's length, but is generally amicable towards others on the outside. Rarely trusts people, but will become loyal to the few that he does trust.
Deeply religious and frequently suffers from some degree of scrupulosity. Made (significantly) worse after his embrace.
Somewhat altruistic, despite everything.
Pours himself into his work, and generally stays away from getting too involved with Camarilla-related business in recent nights.
Life
Born some time during the late 20's to a deeply religious family in Awasa, Ethiopia. Grew up to become a Vatican-trained priest, who was sent off to manage a small town parish back in his home country. Often handled (and preferred to handle) evening services.
Was close to his regulars, and was well-liked by the community. This eventually drew the attention of a one of the local Kindred, Mihret, who was a lone Toreador who had originally been drawn to the small town's sole church.
Met his first death after encountering said Toreador while closing up the church one night. He had attempted to help her while she were in the middle of a hunger frenzy, and was subsequently attacked and drained. Was embraced shortly after his sire snapped out of it, in order to "preserve" him out of some degree of guilt.
Under the guise of getting sick, he slowly shut himself in, and found it incredibly difficult to adjust to his unlife despite the guidance that his sire gave him.
After multiple failed attempts at watching the sunrise along with the government-mandated disestablishment of the Catholic Church during the era, he took the opportunity to formally withdraw from his clerical duties, and tried to adjust for a quiet unlife. This soon proved to be difficult, primarily due to feeding concerns brought about by an increase in military presence and the curfew that followed. He would later leave the country alongside his sire, who had offered him an opportunity to leave in exchange for her protection in a foreign domain. He agrees, primarily to get away from anything that would remind him of his old life. The two would later find themselves in Munich, Germany.
While he had wanted to keep to himself at first, he was used as an errandboy of sorts by his sire in order to build favor and boons for herself in the new domain. This gave him the opportunity to get ingrained in the local Kindred population, as well as to gain more experience with his disciplines, enough to build a name for himself for his later independence. He also grew very distant during this time period, growing increasingly numb towards many things that would have once bothered him. Yet, he did try to stick to his personal moral code, but he soon found himself slipping away piece by piece as time passed.
The nature of the responsibilities that his sire would pass off to him gave him the opportunity to travel somewhat, which eventually allowed him to escape a major Second Inquisition attack in the domain that he and his sire resided in. This led to the loss of many kindred, including most of the local Camarilla as well as his own sire. He stayed in hiding for a few months shortly after receiving the news, before being called back by the domain's new Prince.
He was later given the chance to return to the clerical life thanks to the hold that the Camarilla had with the local diocese, in exchange for him taking responsibility over an Elysium housed within an old church in the area, as well as to maintain the Masquerade in the immediate vicinity. Very occasionally, he would be tasked to spy on other parishes from nearby Camarilla-aligned cities for possible breaches. This was part of the new Prince's attempt at rebuilding after the attack, which he had accepted for the sake of grounding himself for the foreseeable future.
He later finds some semblance of peace with his current station in life, albeit temporarily. Eventually becomes mawla to a fledgling named Theo, who he had taken under his wing out of some sense of obligation towards one of his few mortal friends, Viktor. He would eventually grow protective over Theo, treating him almost as if he were his own childe.
However, he would eventually be forced to abandon him, after a Blood Hunt is called on the Tremere sometime in the 2020's after diablerizing one of the local Kindred. Instead of actively participating, he would instead leave the boy to fend off the hunt on his own in order to avoid aggravating his existing loyalty to the Camarilla. Theo would instead see this as a deliberate act of betrayal, however, and would later kill his own father as a means to bait Eil to face him. The death of his friend sends him into a frenzy, which leads to him killing Theo for good.
After the incident with Theo, he would find himself closely watched by the Camarilla, sharing some of the responsibility for the boy's transgressions but ultimately spared due to his loyalty to the sect.
Appearance
Has shoulder-length whitish-gray hair that's often tied back in a loose low ponytail. Often depicted with a slightly grown stubble.
His eyes are a golden yellow. Has dark skin, originally with a warmer undertone, now more pallid and sickly post-death. Generally looks tired, unless if using the Blush of Life (which he rarely does unless if he's out and actively hunting.)
Has a muscular build. Has a light dusting of white body hair all over.
Usually wears a dark, long-sleeved clerical shirt, with matching dark pants. Often wears a parka or some other type of jacket on top in casual settings.
Wears a simple silver cross pendant if he's wearing any other shirt.
Misc. Info / Notes
- A skilled orator, despite his introversion.
- Frequently smokes; a holdover from his days as a human.
- Discipline loadout is Celerity/Presence-focused. Likes doing things painlessly and as fast as possible to get it over with.
- On feeding habits: Used to feed on animals in his early kindred years, but has been stalking a handful of pubs a few towns over as of late...
- Functionally a "Siren"-type predator. Generally dislikes it as it goes against what he believes is "proper", but finds that feeding during hookups is the most "convenient" way to feed for him that also doesn't make him metaphorically sick to his stomach.
- One of the few habits that he "inherited" from his sire.
- Significantly prefers to feed with some semblance of consent involved, but cares enough about the Masquerade to not actively break it.
- Is it actually consensual? Absolutely not, but he tells himself that it is.
- Functionally a "Siren"-type predator. Generally dislikes it as it goes against what he believes is "proper", but finds that feeding during hookups is the most "convenient" way to feed for him that also doesn't make him metaphorically sick to his stomach.
Speculative Info / Notes (prone to changing)
- Currently stationed at St. Michael in Perlach, Munich. Lives somewhere nearby.
