Biography[]
Mortal Years[]
Euan was born into a privileged position with his family's deep profession in trade and lending. His grandfather, Archibald Dunsirn I, was the sole owner of the family's own private bank as well as their main source of fortune. He received instruction from his family, including his grandfather, in all manners on commerce to which his performance was dutifully promising. His later years, he was sent as he gained potential clients and business partners throughout the UK.
However when Euan turned 21 where he was introduced to the "family business". He was called by the heads of the household to have a prepared, lavish supper. Before the meal, he was invited to participate for an old family ritual involving a full goblet of a putrid red thick liquid. He drank all to the last drop as he was given the Proxy Kiss from his grandfather's vitae.
Afterward, he learned the truth about his family business with the Giovanni. Being in the cog as a newcomer, he had to carry many tasks in morbid variety:
- To escort a Nagaraja visiting.
- Infiltrating a mortal cult
- Hunting down a rumoured extant Cappadocian in Glasgow.
He did his roles very well while retaining his mortality as his addiction to the Dunsirn vitae grew into curiosity in politicking and the dark arts.
His self-interest of his spirit, he supplied to uncover every mystery and secret, regardless if it was disturbing, of the Giovanni in Venice. This eventually proved to his loyalty and proficiencies by the Venetians to be given the permission of the Embrace by Archibald I.
Kindred Nights[]
Euan was sent to London as the family’s envoy to Mithras’ court. It was there he first encountered Roger de Camden, who he would correspond with into modern nights. In this new role, he brought several important enterprises into the family’s grasp and consolidated them within an umbrella corporation the family utilizes to this day. From there, his role as emissary took him around the globe, gathering necromantic lore and secrets to be sent on to Venice.
For the first time, away from his relatives, he was able to find his own path and immerse himself fully in the study of the lore he had gathered at the request of his superiors. It was while there that he produced innovations in necromancy surpassing his kin, elevating him to prominence within the clan. Several among the clan Anziani — the Hecata elders — were interested in making him their pawn with offers of new insight. Ever the diplomat, he gleaned what he could from each until finally settling on Aurelio Rossellini. His time as protégé to the ancient Genoan was short but profitable. When Aurelio was discovered selling family secrets to another clan, the Anziani offered Euan the right to perform the final sanction of diablerie upon him and take his seat on the clan council as reward.
His endorsement and support of the Hecata “revolution,” turned out to be an excellent choice and placed him as one of the leading political forces in the renewed Clan of Death, as well as one of the foremost necromancers in the world. With his connections to Kindred around the globe, he was appointed to the 1444 Chamber and tasked with bringing any lost sheep into the fold.
