Alexander (Ventrue)

Alexander was a Fourth Generation Ventrue, Embraced as a youth in ancient Rome by the Ventrue Antediluvian. His clan weakness allowed him only to feed from women who were in love ( but not married)

Alexander was the Prince of Paris for many centuries, and created the Grand Court just after the fall of Rome with several Toreador Elders where he ruled utilizing fear and justice. As time went on, his rule became tyrannical and his obsession and jealousy ran rampant. After he destroyed his consort Lorraine, the childe of Queen Salianna, in a fit of jealous rage after she had fled him, he earned a reputation of destroying the things that he loved the most. This led the Toreador to conspire against him and with the aid of his childer Geoffrey du Temple, Alexander was overthrown and banished from the territories of the Court of Love in 1222. After spending some time in Heidelberg to recuperate and petition Hardestadt for asylum, Alexander took refuge in Magdeburg, the German city ruled by Lord Jurgen, where he plotted to win his domain back. He supported Jürgen's war against the transylvanian Tzimisce and was awarded with the honorary domain of Finsterbach. In his quest to win the backing of Lord Hardestadt, he waged war against the Ferals of Livonia. There, he was defeated in battle by their leader, the Mongol Gangrel Qarakh, who committed diablerie on him.

NOTE: some members of this line (such as Lady Justania, Gaius Marcellus, Geoffrey du Temple, and Gilbert d’Harfleur) have been observed to conduct themselves with poise and grace. Competent public-speakers and sometimes socialites, these individuals achieved some degree of fame for their skill at speech-craft. When put in stressful situations, however, those same individuals have been said to be prone emotional outbursts or behavior, leading others to consider them arrogant or immature.
