Harrod was a member of Clan Nosferatu first mentioned in the Dark Sovereigns expansion set of Vampire: The Eternal Struggle. Supposedly, he was a member of the Camarilla Inner Circle at one time.

From duelist #07:

"The elder Nosferatu known as Harrod was bom as Antipater, the progeni¬ tor of the rulers known as Herod in Judea. He was appointed governor of Judea, Samaria, and Galilee by Julius Caesar in about 47 B.C. He served in this capacity until his “death” a few years later. His “death” was actually Harrod’s attempt to cover his Embrace by a Nosferatu. Nosferatu himself embraced him in preparation for what he called “the lessons of your unlife.” Antipater would watch the atrocities com¬ mitted by his son, Herod the Great, as he put to death all children in Bethlehem, and his grandson, Herod Antipas, as he behead¬ ed John the Baptist.

After the beheading of John the Baptist, he changed his name to Harrod so that he would never forget what his own children had done to humanity. Doomed to an eter¬ nity of hideous appearance, he watched oth¬ ers and tried to leam from their mistakes. Harrod is perhaps one of the few vampires to have witnessed the formative meetings of the Camarilla and the Sabbat without his presence being known to either party. Harrod takes all the information he finds and uses it to the benefit of humanity whenever he can, but his appearance and his ties to what he calls “damnation” pre¬ vent him from taking direct action.

Harrod serves reluctantly as the Nosferatu representative to the Inner Circle, but it gives him the best possible vantage point from which to watch his and his clan’s enemies. Harrod hopes to be able to predict the coming of Gehenna (some¬ thing he strongly believes in) and prepare himself, as well as his clan, for the ensuing battle for survival. Harrod has pledged to never let what his mortal children did hap¬ pen to his vampiric children"
