Oderic

Oderic was a wandering Gangrel that was sire to Aajav, the young wolf. He fought in many battles and went deep into the lands of "Tartars".

By the end of the mongolian campaigns against the Russian principalities, Oderic pursued Batu Kahn and Subetai's armies as they retreated across the steppe, until a young rider named Aajav caught his eye. The elder was utterly impressed by the youngster military prowess and keen sense of honor, so he craved to Embrace him.

The only problem was that he encountered a small group of Anda along the way - who, until that time, had been only a myth to Oderic - and these vampires were intending to turn Aajav themselves. Ultimately, Oderic challenged the Kahn of this group to honorable single combat. The battle took almost twelve hours, but in the end, the Anda's corpse was food to the sun, and the next evening Oderic embraced Aajav.

Later, when his childe began to pressure the Anda for permission to embrace his sworn brother Qarakh, Oderic encouraged him to create this new vampire and to pay no attention to what the "Tartars" had to say.
