Biography[]
| “ | My Dearest Cainite,
I am writing this night to formally invite you to the Barony of Chester. It is my understanding that you have never stepped foot in this domain, and I am relaying information to sate your curiosity and ensure your well-being. Marcus Verus, the Prince, has arranged for you to visit Chester on behalf of your sire with whom he has personally been in contact with. To settle a debt owed, you will perform a favor of Verus’ choosing. Though you may believe this obligation is without consequence, I can assure you that performing such a favor is a chance for you, neonate, to prove yourself to a powerful Prince. The specifics of your task and the rewards you may earn will be revealed to you in your meeting with the Prince, who is currently away on business in Bath. You should know that Verus cares very little for rumors; a former military general and childe of Mithras, King of all Britain, our Prince will assess your worth based on the value of your actions. I suggest setting aside gossip when you meet with him, and comport yourself in a manner befitting a guest. I look forward to your arrival. Should you wish to speak with me further, you may seek my company in Chester. |

| — Ahmose II, Chamberlain
On Behalf of the Honorable Marcus Verus, Prince of Chester | ||
Marcus Verus’ most trusted adviser is an Egyptian physician-turned-scholar named Ahmose II. As acting Chamberlain, he often tours the barony at night tending to administrative matters of court. The decision to call in favours and entertain a group of new Cainites was his, as Ahmose II understands full well that sometimes the most treacherous snakes slither near the throne.
Ahmose II has tan skin, short brown hair, and brown eyes. He dresses as a British nobleman in fine tunics out of respect for Verus, but wears the amulet of a scarab in memory of his beloved homeland. Intelligent and learned, Ahmose II has studied many languages and cultures. He will go out of his way to be respectful, and does believe in treating vampires differently depending on their clan.
A visionary and dedicated historian, Ahmose II has weathered many changes because he is highly adaptable and anticipates cultural shifts with ease. He believes that survival is more important than succumbing to petty slights, and thinks Cainites should work toward a common goal within reason. That said, Ahmose II understands that swift violence is sometimes necessary to quell uprisings before they start.
The Chamberlain serves as a font of knowledge for the player characters. As Verus’ ally, he reinforces the Prince’s position while filling in gaps they need to continue their journey. Ahmose II will expertly dodge any personal questions, and ensure they remain focused on their task. If pressed, Ahmose II will gently remind the characters of their status and that, over time, they will prove themselves worthy of their sires.
