Ceri is a fourth-generation Toreador methuselah who exerts her power and influence during the Gehenna War. She has been affiliated with both Camarilla and Anarchs, working behind the shadows.
Biography[]
Those who have heard of Ceri are typically Camarilla members in good standing, enmeshed deep enough in the sect to hear exclusive secrets and rumors. They say that she has been sighted in Paris or Berlin, old European domains where she has appeared as a power behind the throne. A ghost whispering in the ear of a powerful, old Prince. Alarmingly, they say that sometimes she has even appeared among the Anarchs, young Kindred who don't understand what they're interacting with. To those who know of her, she often represents co-opting the most powerful existing Kindred power structures to serve the ends of unfathomable blood gods.
Rumors[]
- In almost every domain where there's a Prince, there are rumors that the Prince is under control of some evil force. Some who know of Ceri identify her as that force, but it's rare for this information to be firsthand.
- According to a rumor, Ceri still loves the Antediluvian who Embraced her, seeking to make the world perfect for their arrival. Others question such legends, pointing out that love is not an emotion which tends to survive through the centuries as Kindred age. In the stories of Ceri, she doesn't come across as particularly humane.
- Sometimes metaphorical language is taken literally as stories are told and retold. In these depictions, Ceri is a white, long-limbed spider made of bone, scuttling in the dustiest catacombs of ancient European domains.
Description[]
Stories describe Ceri as a tall, emaciated woman with pale skin and white hair, almost more of a spirit than a physical being. She dresses in diaphanous fabrics, or sometimes not at all, her long fingers gently touching the cheek of a Prince renowned for their age, power and wisdom. Sometimes she's also rumored to take on a disguise pretending to be a hapless fledgling until she reveals her true identity to the person she wants under her thrall.
