Ransam is a Toreador who lost territory when the Tremere consolidated their power. He has joined the Anarchs in an attempt to break the Tremere hold and exact revenge.
Background
During the time Francois Villon regained his control over Paris was an exciting time for the Toreador clan. Armies from France marched across the continent, seizing art from around the world and sending it back to France to be put in a museum. Toreador followed on their heels, making sure that the best ones were taken before the kine could see them.
Ransam came with the French army to Austria, even though he was little more than a neonate. He established himself a little castle on confiscated land. He worked to make himself the center of attention and decorated his castle with the greatest of Austrian masterpieces. He developed Narcissism and though he claimed to be a patron of the arts he seemed to loved more than anything his own life and his own world. He loved his friends because they belonged to him and he loved his castle because it was HIS castle. Everything that belonged to him was an extension of himself.
When the Tremere consolidated their hold over Austria when Austria regained its lost territory, Ransom was chosen as an example. He barely survived the eviction and only with the help of more powerful Toreador.
Ransam has a deep seated hatred for the Tremere. They crushed him and defeated him so quickly that he was humiliated. The narcissism for himself turned to passionate hatred. He runs with the Anarchs now and uses his influence to strike back at the Tremere. His vengeance knows no bounds.
Appearance
Ransam has a strong jaw and blond hair, and is very handsome. He has a Bruce Willis smile and can be quite a charmer when he tries. He always keeps up with the latest fashions, though he often finds obscure and bizarre “in” fashions just to be different. He usually hides a bladed weapon or a stake somewhere on his person.
