Calida

Calida is a 5th generation Toreador Methuselah rumored to have achieved the fabled state of Golconda.

Biography
Calida was born in the Roman Province Syria Phoenice in 260 AD during the Crisis of the Third Century, a period of military anarchy and division in the Roman Empire. She was a sacred virgin to Apollo (Orion) until in her 20's she was approached by a Toreador in the guise of the god who took her virginity on the altar of Aphrodite (Venus) and granted her the Embrace.

Sometime after her Embrace, she became the lover of a Ventrue Cainite named Caius. The two settled together in the Roman colony of Aquis Granum (modern day Aachen [Aix-La-Chapelle]). When Caius met Final Death, Calida entered a deep depression and fled into the woods around Aachen. It was there that she found Golconda and expanded her mastery of the vampiric discipline Auspex.

During the Renaissance, she settled in her current residence in Ireland.

She survives to modern nights.
