Jason Caliburn is a 10th Generation Gangrel.
Biography[]
Back in the 1930s, Jason Caliburn was a two-fisted, big-hearted, hard-drinking, world-traveling explorer. He got involved in all kinds of escapades, ranging from big game hunts and archaeological expeditions to attempts to find "lost civilizations" in South America. Unfortunately for him, it was during this last expedition, an attempt to locate the fabled city of El Dorado, that he became separated from the group and stumbled upon the ruins of an ancient city of some sort. Convinced that this find would make him famous and wealthy, he began to look around. That was when he disturbed "Him". Jason's never been sure who "Him" is, just that he is a vampire, possibly one of great age.
"Him" Embraced Jason and then turned him loose on the world. Jason was forced to consume the blood of the members of his expedition in order to survive long enough to make it back to Rio. After that, he slowly worked his way to Europe on tramp steamers. He has continually striven to live by his old ideals, and has limited himself to drinking the blood of people he considers "bad" - Nazis, Communists, criminals, that sort. His experience in the jungles of Brazil has changed him, and he is growing increasingly cynical about the "human" condition. However, his will is so strong that even now he holds himself to a stringent code of honor. After nearly 60 years' vampiric existence, he has no illusion about how noble humanity really is, but he refuses to let this be an excuse to go easy on himself.
Appearance[]
A handsome man in his early 30s, with about a day's growth of beard, a dark trench coat and a fedora - something like a character from a Humphrey Bogart movie.
