Biography[]
Things weren't easy for a "colored" family in Atlanta during the Depression. They were even harder for an intelligent boy with a desire to learn. Tarrence's father worked at a factory and his mother was a serving woman. Tarrence did well in school, but college seemed like nothing more than a dream. That's when Claus Wegener stepped in. Tarrence's parents never knew how or why the wealthy old bookseller took an interest in their son, but from that day onward, the family was no longer poor. Claus managed to get Tarrence into college and paid his tuition, at the same time making sure that the Moore family didn't go hungry. When Tarrence graduated with honors, Claus offered him a job at the bookstore, the oldest and most prestigious in Atlanta. Tarrence accepted.
Claus was a member of Clan Tremere who had spotted Tarrence one evening as the boy looked through the shop window. The Tremere saw talent in the boy and decided to make him his childe. During his work in the bookstore, Claus tested Tarrence and came to the conclusion that the young man did indeed have potential. He obtained permission to create a childe and Embraced Tarrence, who took to the transition surprisingly well. As it turned out, Claus was right. Tarrence displayed a natural aptitude for Thaumaturgy and became a valued member of the Atlanta chantry.
Unfortunately for Tarrence, his mentor died when the Sabbat attacked the city. In fact, every other Tremere was destroyed. Tarrence, surviving only because he had been visiting his small herd, fled to Savannah. Shortly after his arrival Prince Huxley offered Tarrence a position as her advisor, a surprising move for someone so averse to change. The only two Tremere in Savannah had turned down similar offers, and Huxley was anxious to have more contact with Clan Tremere. Tarrence accepted and has served ever since.
