Anastasz di Zagreb was the Justicar of Clan Tremere from 1998 to 2011.

Biography[]

Anastasz di Zagreb was born the son of a wealthy textiles importer and had an early interest in the supernatural. His father, however, disapproved of this and sent him to Oxford, where he could receive a solid education. At first he obeyed, turning into a staid young man, until he met a stage magician in a local pub. Fascinated by the man's illusory talents, he decided to learn the techniques of stage magic, which he practiced throughout his studies. After graduating from Oxford, he went to the London School of Economics, where he also joined a secret society called the Magic Ring. One night, he encountered a Tremere who fed on a women in the backyard. He managed to scare the vampire off, but when he told this to his colleagues, they just scoffed at him. Back at home, the Tremere awaited him, revealing himself and explaining to di Zagreb the power of Thaumaturgy. Eager to learn more about this real magic, the young man cast his old life aside and joined the ranks of Clan Tremere. He spent 25 years in Vienna, studying Thaumaturgy and rising quite fast through the ranks of the Clan.

The previous Justicar of the Clan made di Zagreb his Archon. During this time, he faced various other supernaturals and became a prodigy on matters of the occult, but his friendly demeanor and altruistic behavior never let him advance in inter-Clan politics. When the new Justicar was chosen in 1998, Regent Jean St. Frederique put him forth as a candidate, hoping to control the still young vampire as a mentor and adviser. While still young and inexperienced by comparison to his peer Brujah Justicar Jaroslav Pascek, he currently has ambitious plans to conquer Montréal for the Camarilla.

V20 Timeline[]

The 2011 Conclave elected new Justicars and di Zagreb was replaced by his clanmate Ian Carfax. His actions after his time as Justicar are unknown.

Trivia[]

In Troika's original pitch for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, di Zagreb was intended to appear in the game as a major character. Sent to Los Angeles by the Camarilla, the neonate was to work under him directly to investigate reports of diablerie tied to Jeremy MacNeil, while also working for the Prince to investigate the disappearance of the Ankaran Sarcophagus. di Zagreb and MacNeil were cut and replaced with Maximillian Strauss and "Nines" Rodriguez during development as the plot was streamlined, and probably as well to avoid any confusion that may have been caused by having two authority figures—a Prince and a Justicar—both giving the player orders.
