Hardestadt the Younger

Hardestadt the Younger masquerades as his sire, Hardestadt the Elder, since his death and probable Diablerie under the fangs of Tyler. This is known to only very few Ventrue. One vampire who learned the truth centuries later was the Gangrel researcher Beckett. In fear of being exposed, Hardestadt hired assassins to silence Beckett, but none were successful.

Gehenna
On the eve of Gehenna, Hardestadt met his Final Death when he was killed by the recently rogue ex-archon Theo Bell, who shot him point blank in the face with his automatic shotgun while Hardestadt was suffering from the effects of the Withering. Hardestadt was running a slave operation in which he was using neonates to stop the effects of the Withering and breaking many Camarilla Traditions in doing so. Bell refused to go along, and allied with Lucita, Beckett, and others to take down Hardestadt and his plot.
