Simeon Lord

==Prince Simeon Lord==
A childe of Prince Abram, Simeon Lord is an 8th generation Ventrue who has been the Prince of Sydney since the 1940s. He was embraced a century earlier by Abram who had already been grooming Simeon for decades as his loyal bloodbound retainer. Simeon was a prominent merchant who served as a magistrate and became one of the wealthiest men in Sydney before faking his death and becoming part of Simeon's shadow court. When Abram departed for Melbourne in 1839 and left Sarrasine in charge of Sydney, Simeon gathered the allies and resources and emerged at the new prince. 
Simeon avoids direct confrontation with the other supernatural factions in the city. He has survived several assassination attempts and "lupine attacks" and has managed, with great effort to keep the Treaty of Roses & Songs iintact in order to focus efforts on fighting the Kuei-jin.
