Václav is a Tzimisce Ancilla who dwells on the North Brother Island in New York.
Biography[]
Despite his Clan, Václav was never a member of the the Sabbat, nor was his sire. He is however quite knowledgeable of the Sword of Caine and their Paths of Enlightenment, as well as a variety of other subjects pertaining to Noddism and Kindred lore. Much of this information he learned from his sire, and some from his own travels throughout the world. He settled in the abandoned smallpox hospital on North Brother Island relatively recently, shortly after the sectarian wars for New York had cooled down.
Some Anarchs in the nearby Bronx borough are aware of Václav's presence, but generally give him a wide berth. Václav himself rarely leaves the island (likely due to his Clan Curse), though he did temporarily visit the Bronx long enough to Embrace Isaac Brooke. His relationship to his childe is by all accounts much like that of him and his own sire, with the latter serving as a distant but reliable mentor to the former.
In 2022, Isaac and his recently-formed coterie paid Václav a visit to gather more information on a Wight that was rampaging through their domain.
Appearance[]
Václav dresses in anachronistic 19th Century finery, including a tailcoat with velvet lapels, riding boots, and a vest over a crisp white shirt with a starched collar (complete with a golden pocket watch on a chain). The only concession to modernity in his wardrobe appears to be a narrow black necktie. His face is quite angular, with thinning gray hair swept back from the temples and a neatly-trimmed, iron-gray mustache. His hands and fingers are noticeably long, possibly lengthened via Vicissitude.
