Daniel Parker is a Ventrue from Savannah[1].
Biography[]
Daniel's father was one of Atlanta's wealthiest bankers and Daniel was expected to follow in his father's footsteps. He did so grudgingly and preferred to get others to work for him. He did the bare minimum needed to maintain his position and spent the rest of the time enjoying himself. Daniel was still a wealthy and influential man, though, which attracted the attention of his would-be sire.
Robert Parkhurst was an Atlanta Ventrue with an interest in banking and a desire to expand his horizons. Since Daniel's bank did a lot of business with those in Savannah, Robert saw him as the perfect childe. When it became clear that Daniel was lazy and got by more on the skill of his subordinates than on his own capabilities, his sire cut him off from his support system, forcing Daniel to work to survive. After a while, Daniel discovered that he enjoyed the challenge or at least that he enjoyed the fruits of his labor. Properly prepared, Daniel was sent off to Savannah.
Daniel quickly clashed with Prince Huxley, who herself had a good deal of interest in Savannah's banking. Still, Daniel's backing in Atlanta allowed him to gain substantial influence. The rivalry with Huxley continued for years and Daniel has since decided to pursue the position of prince. So far, he has done nothing but subtly undermine Huxley's authority, acting as the "loyal opposition." Though not one of Huxley's advisors, Daniel is nonetheless recognized as one of the connected and esteemed Kindred of Savannah. His deepest, darkest secret is his choice of feeding; he preys on children under the age of 15.
