Efraín Sortano

Mexico City's Sabbat call Efrain Sortano the Zookeeper because he claims the zoo in Chapultepec Park as his personal domain.

Sortano decided that to discover the secret of transcending vampirism, he must understand the animal world from whence humanity emerged. So, before Sortano learned the shape-shifting arts of the Gangrel, he used Vicissitude to warp his own body into animal forms. He also reshaped one animal into the form of another, people into animals, or animals into people.

Both mortal and Cainite politics bore Sortano. He wields some influence over the zoo's policy and funding, but he uses other Sabbat as proxies.

The Zookeeper seldom looks the same from week to week. He takes one animal or half-animal form after another, but retains speech in all of them.
