Strohmann

Strohmann was one of the first European vampires to captain a vessel to the New World, becoming known as a Cainite adept in moving vampires overseas. His covert sideline in escorting vampire refugees earned him a wealth in territory and boons, some members of Clans Salubri and Cappadocian parting with all worldly wealth to buy his services. He also trafficked in humans, running a slave ship from Africa to the Caribbean. Strohmann is known to have Embraced bound slaves, to see a fledgling turn and feed on the mortal fastened beside, thus replicating the Embrace repeatedly down a line. For unknown reasons, Strohmann was forbidden from the North American continent by a near unheard of joint agreement by Cardinal Radu Bistri and Hardestadt in 1820. Since that time, Strohmann has concentrated on marshaling Sabbat forces in Central Europe.
