Masdela

Masdela was a Toreador Archon of Justicar Madeame Guil in the late 1990s. He was an older vampire (embraced in 1543) who slept in Torpor for many years (300 hundred to be exact). He acted as a spy against Madame Guil for his sire, Elonzo. It is unknown whether she found out and what his ultimate fate was.

Background

When Kindred go to war, they tend to embrace a bevy of new Kindred to use as cannon fodder. Those that survive the battle become neonates. Masdela, a young Italian smith, was one embraced for such a purpose and survived but not without difficulty. Masdela was embraced for his strength only and before he had time to learn about his new form is was forced into a battle in which his Sire and master, Elonzo, lost. Masdela was captured while defending Elonzo’s retreat.

Masdela was sealed inside a cell in Elonzo’s enemies’ dungeon and forgotten about. He lasted for a while on rates and other rodents, but soon he entered torpor. Elonzo woke him up when he was rescued some 300 years later. Elonzo had known about his childe’s heroism in that last battle but it took Elonzo until the 19th century to defeat his enemy and claim his castle and with it all it held.

One would think Masdela would be furious to be used as nothing more than a shield, but he was grateful for the rescue and Elonzo used that and his anonymity to set him up as a spy and an informant.

Masdela spied on Madame Guil while he was her Archon during the 1990s. She used him as muscle when she needed a strong arm. He reported almost everything back to Elonzo and Madame Guil suspected nothing. She kept Masdela around because of his bravery, fighting abilities and apparent dedication. Elonzo, in fact, fed Masdela information to keep him valuable to Madame Guil. On his own, Masdela would never have maintained his position.
