Edgar Hearst

Edgar Hearst is a Ventrue elder and Baron of Long Beach in the Spectre chronicle. As Baron, his chosen Elysium is the 14th floor of the Hilton Long Beach Hotel.
==Appearance==
As the archetypal Ventrue, Edgar dresses in business suits of muted colors with little desire to put much more thought on the clothes he wears. One might even expect a Ventrue of his status to dress in suits of a higher quality, but he seems content wearing what he does. He stands at a slightly above-average height, though the aura surrounding him would make anyone feel small in comparison. His dark, greying hair has receded slightly and a small amount of stubble masks the lower half of his face.
==Personality==
While not many kindred can claim that they have met him, those who have tell stories of the overwhelmingly tense atmosphere that fills any room he's in. It's clear without him even having to say a word that Edgar is one of the foremost influential and powerful kindred in California. On a personal level Edgar speaks tersely and with a commanding tone, he does not suffer fools lightly and is quick to anger when presented with any type of issue. Edgar's anger is not explosive, however, it's the quiet and festering type of anger that paralyzes those who behold it, despite every natural urge screaming to get as far away as possible. He has an extremely high opinion of himself and of his reputation, taking careful consideration of how he appears to everyone who knows his name. He takes a vast amount of pride in the way he runs Long Beach as a Baron and thinks of most other Barons of LA as being incompetent fools, the only Baron he can occasionally see eye to eye with being Robin Moreno.
