Claas Drescher

Claas Drescher is an 8th generation Tremere of renown.

Biography
In life, Claas aspired to rise above his condition as an apothecary son through study. He learned Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Slavonic, Arabic and was interested in occultism when he was noticed by a Tremere who initiated him into House Tremere, teaching him their wizardry, though he remained ignorant to the vampiric nature of the members of his Order.

Claas became a translator and then a spy thanks to his knowledge of languages. He was sent to spy on Poland by the German Empire, assessing the Polish strenghts and weaknesses. When the elders of the clan finally decided to embrace him, Ardan summoned his prótegé to Prague, embraced him and passed on his knowledge in Thaumaturgy. He is then sent to Krakow posing as a Ventrue with the help of Konrad von Aupfholm, ina a Tzimisce-controlled city.

Claas knows that von Aupfholm is working to overthrow prince Razkoljna, and serves Konrad only so long as it furthers Tremere plans for the city. He lives and has influnence within the Jewish quarter of Krakow, as well as some scholary circles. His haven lies in the cellar of an apothecary's shop.

In time, he succeeds in forming a chantry in Krakow, unknown to Razkoljna. In the late 15th century, he receives a summons to Ceoris to meet with his sire, Ardan of Golden Lane, now head of the secluded chantry. Claas supports Ardan throughout the centuries, and he would eventually sire a Tremere Justicar himself.
