Rodolfo

The Malkavian antitribu currently known as Rodolfo is one of the greatest living explorers of the Dementation Discipline of his Clan.

Originally a Phoenician, he met with Tryphosa, the ancient Malkavian oracle. Serving as her acolyte and servant, he delivered her bleak prophecies to both Carthage and Rome, foretelling their fall, although the prophecies of his mistress fell on deaf ears. When he was embraced and his own oracular abilities grew, he and his future sire had severe disagreements over the nature of their gift. While Tryphosa believed that a vampire, because of his remove state from life and death, could rewrite destiny and could possibly master his own fate, her disciple believed in the futility of struggle against fate, pointing to the inevitable nature of the looming Gehenna, and that vampire could merely chose the place were he would be consumed. Their differences spun out of control and both came to hate each other with passion.

During the War of Princes, the Malkavian had learned to adopt other natures and personas, using this to travel through Europe in upheveal. He was part of the early Inconnu, joined Tyler in her assault against Hardestadt and stood side by side with Unmada at the Convention of Thorns. When his sire proposed to seal off Dementation in order to allow theior Clan to join the Camarilla, he was shocked, seeing it yet another attempt of Tryphosa to escape the fate of her Clan. He joined the Sabbat alongside Vasantasena, vowing to keep Dementation alive. at first, he acted as an Archbishop to Athens, but found the sect politics unnerving and eventually wandered off to Mexico City, where he donned his current persona as Rodolfo. Masquerading as a harmless neonate, he was left for his own devices, teaching and mastering Dementation with other interested Cainites. During 1949, he used his Dementation to spread violence and riots across the city, much to the annoyance of Goratrix, who deemed him a disruptive element within the fragile city. The Regent, however, elevated him to the rank of bishop for his exceptional prowess.

When the seal of the elders that had banished Dementation in their Camarilla counterparts broke, Rodolfo began o suspect that the End Times had begun. When Zapathasura rose in Bangladesh, his worst fears seemed to have realized. When, however, the Antediluvian was destroyed and his Camarilla counterparts seemed to adapt well with their new Discipline, hope blossomed within him that- maybe- the end could be averted. He is a dedicated hunter of Thin-bloods and has begun to prophecy once more, foreseeing his own Diablerie. He works closely together with Eliza Villanova in order to reconstruct the ancient scrying techniques the medieval mystery orders of the Clan had used.
