Meoquamme

Meoquamme, is a powerful Gangrel methuselah, has been active for over 1,000 years in the pacific northwest. He is the most potent Kindred in the area, possibly the western United States, although not the most skilled or powerful. His potency is so great Kindred without Disciplines to trick or shield them can feel his approach from almost a room away if he wishes it.
Meoquamme greeted the white settlers coming to his lands with open arms, believing in coexistence. However, nearly a century later he recognized he people were rapidly being displaced, and he acted to turn the white man back. Unfortunately his great efforts were not enough to stem the tide of settlers, and broken, he fell to torpor, leaving his childer Three-Bird to watch over him. He awoke less than a decade later and tried a new route: salvaging what was left of his people, and allowing the settlers his lands. Meoquamme rededicated himself to his spirituality, and it was in these days he found himself shaping and forming what would become his own Circle of the Crone.
In a vision, after ingesting the blood of a native american girl experiencing her vision quest (he did not kill her), he stared into a fire, and found himself able to almost touch it without fear. He saw a great brown bear staring back at him, tranquil, and at peace with itself. It was at this moment he understood: The beast is not an unnamed unidentifiable addition to Kindred, it is a spirit animal, enraged at what has become of the man.
Since that night, Meoquamme has funneled his energies exclusively to learning more about the findings, and teaching others who will listen his ways. With his Childer and lover Three-Bird, he leads a heretical circle of believers in Portland, and has only recently been able to practice openly.
Meoquamme appears as a stout Native American man with flowing black hair that reaches far down his back, and a prominent chin and nose. He is handsome by modern standards, and his body is exceptionally well developed, with a burgeoning chest and large arms. While body-shapes mean very little to Kindred, it is well known that Meoquamme has the ability to match his physicaly appearance.
Meoquamme's potency is legend, and neonates gossip and rumor about his ability. Notably, Meoquamme's mastery over Protean is beyond that of ordinary Kindred, with no one but Three-Bird able to replicate his feats. Meoquamme is also highly skilled at crone rituals, although he is very practiced and skilled, his mastery falls short of Fabienne's,. Because of this, he affords her respect, despite her intense hatred of him and his religion.
In physical strength, Meoquamme is the second strongest Kindred in the Portland/Vancouver, behind only Gwendolyn herself.
