Doc San, also known as Baron Samedi or "The Bloody Doctor", seems to be the founder or at least the oldest still existing member of the Nasyon san an bloodline.
Biography[]
The origin of the figure known as Doc San in modern nights is a mystery. Some think he was taken by the Setites with his sister Brigette to Haiti. Certain Samedi believe he is an Antediluvian himself who has taken the identity of a Haitian death spirit. The Doctor himself mentions an ancient precursor of his line, who might by one of the Drowned Legacies, and who now rests in torpor to keep "the tide" at bay.
Augustus Giovanni and the Doctor hated each other ever since their meeting in Venice in the 19th century. The Doctor was supposed to deliver the True Vessel to Augustus, but was raided by Setites on his way.
Somehow the Doctor managed to leave the Giovanni Mausoleum with his unlife intact a few minutes after telling it personally to Augustus himself. The Doctor, still active in the bloodline's affairs, refuses to discuss the "deal" that he had with Augustus Giovanni, but it must have been something of gravity for the mutual dislike to persist.
Conversely, his "rivalry" (such that it is) with the Capuchin is reportedly amicable. The Samedi speak of the two trading stories and knowledge long into the nights.
After the Gangrel left the Camarilla, the princedoms all around the Caribbean regions have been receiving emissaries on "goodwill missions" from the Doctor. The methuselah suggests that the Samedi have a greater role in vampiric history and future than most Cainites suspect. What that may be, Doc San refuses to specify, dismissing further questions with a wave of his rotting hand.
Appearance[]
Doc San was described as five and a half feet tall black man, dressed in formal wear that looks all the more horrific because he is a decaying corpse. His eyes run down his face and he smells like an open mass grave, and his exposed muscles are all gray and ratty and hanging off him in shreds.
Trivia[]
Doc San is aware of the Patron of Voodoo of the same name and deliberately styles himself after him.
