Varona

Archon Vidal Jarbeaux confirms Varona, a "childe" of Madre Deolinda, rose to prominence as a surprisingly intellectual Blood Brother. Most of his bloodline are known for their destructive competence, but Varona is a creator. Varona’s circle — known as the Blessed Choir — move from city to city, drawing the ire of whichever Kindred cross their paths. Varona kidnaps vampires as frequently as he destroys them, and makes good on attempts to scare Camarilla vampires out of their domains. This free rein given to Varona by his masters speaks to his ingenuity. Varona acts as terrorist and urban legend. The most common theory has Varona as an engineering professor at the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia, who went missing in the late 1980s. Also some rumors state that he was a serial killer who operated throughout Mexico in the 1990s, as well as a taxidermist from Bucaramanga

The Blessed Choir are suspected to be a circle of between five and seven members, but actual sightings of Varona’s brethren are difficult to confirm. Varona’s face is the only one widely known.

Certainly his enormous size and unnatural bulges beneath his coat imply additional limbs, horrible mutilation, or both. Dr. Varona’s confident he now knows how to recreate Blood Brothers through exchanges of vitae and limbs with other vampires. His focus has moved from experimenting on mortals exclusively to Kindred. This is notable, as it’s not dissimilar to the Tremere’s first experimentations in the creation of Gargoyles.
