Augustus Giovanni

Augustus "Uncle Augie" Giovanni is either the luckiest or unluckiest Antediluvian ever. He diablerized Cappadocius in 1444 and out of the "joy suck club" of Gratiano, Tremere, Lugoj and himself, may be the only one who truly succeeded. He's built up clan Giovanni from a being a specialized sub-branch of the Cappadocians into the new Clan of Death. He's wealthy beyond conception, his clan is amazingly well-organized, and he stands an odds-on chance of destroying the world.

He is however, a weakling by his generations standards(through his comparative youth and failure to absorb Cappadocius'soul). After the failure of the giovanni master plan (to obliterate the shroud) nobody takes him or his clan seriously.In Gehenna he is slaughtered easily by the far older more powerful thousands of years old real Antediluvians, their methusulah servants or even a large group of younger vampires(depending on the scenario). In the end augustous' greed and ruthless desire for power comes to nothing in the face of those who's power whos he was foolish to pretend to.
