Mahtiel

Mahtiel
About his human life almost nothing is known except that his name was Bagran and that he lived in Georgia on the shores of the Black Sea during ninth centrury A.D. After his embrace by an unknown sire, Mathiel (as his angelic name was now, a custom only followed by the Salubri) spend time travelling through Middle East, healing the sick and paving his way toward achieving Golconda. He even had some kind of a shrine in Armenia in the period between 1000-1050 A.D, where he was helping local populace along with few of his clanmates. In 1133 something teribble has happend. The Salubri Antideluvian Saulot was diablerized by The Tremere, and from that point onward, Salubri were branded as Soulsuckers, therefore there was no safe haven for the remnants of the clan. Although a healer, Mahtiel couldnt accept his doomed fate as the rest of his clan did. While Tremere hunted Salubri throughout the Europe, Mahtiel gathered some members of the clan in Nicosia (Crete) and decided to strike back. He spend nearly a century attacking isolated Tremere groups, waging a guerilla war upon both Tremere and Camarilla. Homever, all of that effort showed little sucess. At the dawn of fourteenth century, Mathiel was the oldest Salubri alive, and thus he become a primary target of Tremere. In 1516 his haven in Nicosia, was attacked and in the bloody battle that followed nearly all of Tremere assailants and Salubri defenders were destroyed. Mathiel managed to survive but shaken by the casualties that the remnants of his clan endured, he simply dissapeared into the night full of grief. During the ages that followed, Mathiel didnt appear in public, until 1902, when some kindred scholar (who avoids to be named, but most kindred suspect of Beckett) found his haven in the unnamed location somewhere in east Asia. Since then, rumors spread that Salubri clan is recovering its numbers, living in seclusion far from the Cammarilla and Tremere, waiting for the moment to unleash vengeance upon those who murdered their Antideluvian. After Saulot managed to separate himself from the body of Tremere in 1998, Mahtiel and his followers, enthusiastic of their Antideluvian's return, began a sort of secret pilgrimage in order to unite with their maker, still avoiding contact with any other kindred they ecounter in the process.
