Marcus Sextus

Marcus Sextus, later known only as the Egyptian, was a Gangrel who dwelled in Africa during the reign of the Roman Empire.

Born in Cairo in the first century AD; he traveled to Rome just after his Embrace by a Gangrel Methuselah and introduced himself to the Malkavian and Ventrue lords of the city. Sextus had lived as a nobleman, and greatly desired the approval and companionship of the city's undead leaders, but the greedy patrons of the Senate used the Gangrel's desires to pull him this way and that. During the closing years of the Empire, the Egyptian was nothing more than a pawn. At a Gangrel Gathering near Dacia in 475, the Egyptian had his only encounter with the barbarian terror Arnulf, and learned of the coming invasion of Rome. After returning to the city and spending months in contemplation, he quietly chose to abandon his erstwhile masters and to flee across the Mediterranean into Africa. There, he Embraced numerous tribespeople before meeting his end at the hands of his final childe, Inyanga, who now roams the northern United States.
