Clan Gangrel

#### Gangrel Primogen:

Cecil Collins is the gangrel primogen. A gruff, difficult to get along with man. Enormous and tall, he is always dressed in park ranger gear. When uncovered, his muscles seem to constantly ripple beneath his jet-black skin; perhaps suggesting that his protean level is so high he can almost not stop himself from changing.

He’s willing to help out any Gangrel who are struggling, but has a lot on his plate. And he’s happy to remind anyone who needs help, how many more important things he has to be doing.

Cecil Collins was once the herald of Buckston Brown, but the two have continuously argued and fought over the years, leading to the position of herald being given to Oliver Thrombey. Cecil considers Oliver to be a pompous, idiotic socialite that has dripped poison into the ear of the prince.

He works as a park ranger at Lost Pines state park, keeping the peace between the local kindred and the local werewolf population. One of the few individuals in town with a detailed knowledge of the Two Tribes. Often alludes to the presence of additional Gangrel living in more rural areas outside the city, or even some among the Tribes.

#### Gangrel Coterie:

Ramone is a member of the gangrel coterie that is often found roaming the outskirts of town, often alone. Appears young and fit, though relatively short. Particularly piercing blue eyes, which stands out against his smooth, sand-colored skin. Can be found all over town, always up to get into an adventure. Doesn’t particularly like hurting people, and hates hurting animals. Lives in a tiny apartment nearby the Lost Pines park. Works part-time in website design.

If asked what he is up to when on the outskirts of town, he’s hesitant to answer. If pressed, he’ll admit that he’s looking for a girl. At that moment, the gang will hear a distant howl, and Ramone will glance in the direction of the howl. Then, Ramone smiles and shakes his head. If pressed, he’ll admit that he’s in star-crossed love affair with a werewolf from the Two Tribes, but no one can know.

Thomas Osborne is the sire of Giovanni Constantine. He lives in a cabin given to him for free by Cecil, on the Lost Pines Park Grounds. Cecil treats him well, despite him being an all-around miserable piece of shit. Often drinks himself into oblivion, because he has the unique perk of being able to consume human food and drink. Once a powerful Gangrel elder, who has fallen on hard times.

Ava Abernathy is the youngest member of the gangrel coterie, and often tries to follow Cecil or Ramone around on their various adventures. When she inevitably loses them and has to return to the park, she often spends her time collecting various alchemical ingredients from around the park. She has no use for them herself, but sells or gifts them to the local Thin-Blood population. The thin-bloods aren’t quite as scary, after all, so she thinks they make for good friends. Often comments that there have been quite a few werewolves in the park lately, but Cecil seems to have it handled… For now. Lives on Lost Pines Park Grounds, but has to pay for her cabin. Complains about Rent often.

Tim Donohue is the sire of Ramone, though he is still relatively young himself. He is a researcher who works closely with both Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma. He often bases his projects out of larger animal sanctuaries across the state, or even in other states, so he is often out of town. A somewhat friendly, and inquisitive soul. Also somewhat selfish and flaky, however, as he has never truly introduced Ramone to the life that he thrusted upon him. Still, he and Ramone maintain a jovial, brotherly friendship. Lives off-Park grounds.

#### Gangrel Elder (Celine’s Sire):

Marcia De-Lyon. Concept: Crazy cat lady. Old woman, appears to be in her late 40’s, but heavily weathered. Many hard years are visible upon her skin, stretched and scarred by her misfortune.

Born in France in 1629 in France, to a noble family that held significant political sway in the French feudal court. She was orphaned at an early age, and has held the seat of political power for her family since the age of 14. The effects of the Thirty Years War on the region, the people, and Marcia herself were pronounced. Marcia was raised in war, and raised by wolves (hypothetically). The numerous struggles that both Marcia and her surviving family faced during this trying period would define her, and instilled in her an unfortunate tendency to over-invest in plans which are ultimately doomed to fail. A habit which persists to the modern nights. Her family managed to survive the terrible war that raged through Europe, but only just.

Shortly after the resolution of the wider conflict of the Thirty Years War, the French were faced with a brutal civil war that lasted for another agonizingly long 5 years. This civil war was primarily a conflict between the nobility of France and its King, and despite all warning against this course of action, Marcia sided with her King. All throughout the conflict in France, she was warned that she would pay a terrible price for turning against her fellow noble families, but she maintained that it would be a far greater dishonor to abandon her king. The conflict was

She is the partial owner of the Oklahoma City zoo, as well as Celine’s sire. She shares ownership of the park with a family that she has turned into ghouls, and who now serve her. They run the day-to-day operations of the park, leaving Marcia free to roam the park at night.

Antisocial in general, and tends to avoid the wider kindred society of Oklahoma City. Among her only trusted associates are Celine, Tim (Gangrel), and Wyatt (Nosferatu). She treats even these close associates with some degree of suspicion, and they likely don’t know of their shared relationship with Marcia.
