Klauss Akerfeldt is a player character, an Elder vampire from the early reducts of clan Brujah, those who claim to descend from the actual Antediluvian founder with the same name rather than Troile who Diablerized him. He has been in Torpor until very recently, when he has to get used to the new millenium awaiting him. Due to that, his blood has also thinned a bit as a result, gaining more passion and losing grasp of his nearly perfect inner sense of time.

## Physical Appearance

Klauss looks less imposing from a distance than up close, even if he keeps his appearances very stark and even humble for someone of his position. He appears to be in his mid thirties, some of his dark auburn hair receding and with a few grey hairs, and even faint lines around his eyes and frown, which is almost a constant. He has a straight, almost roman nose, framing his severe blue eyes, and quite sharp features overall. Even if he appears haggard at first sight, there is a certain air of attractiveness around him he often denies. He has very plain tastes when it comes to clothing and accesories, as he doesn't want to think much about them neither cares about fashion of the times: whatever it seems practical and with dark colors suits him enough. What seems a constant is a frazzled, thin scarf around his neck that hides a myriad of scars; he has a lot of them all over his body from his mortal days.

## Personality

At a first impression, Klauss is very ascetic and detached, almost emotionless to a fault. He is hard to impress and has very little patience with things that don't get his interest. However, he isn't unfeeling; only that his emotions run deep below his stony demeanor, and lately he is more prone to show some intensity, for better or worse. Deep down he hides his self hatred and the intense loneliness that has been haunting him even before his Embrace, and overall he doesn't have himself in high regard, even if he makes his best to come at an impasse between his Beast and himself for the sake of his sanity. When he is in a good mood, he has quite the dry humor and he is even amenable to have debates with others. He is not fond of social reunions at all, but even like that he craves for meaningful conversations and people who aren't quick to look down at him.

## Skills and Flaws

Klauss has always followed a moral code that he has upholded beyond his own death: he cannot bring harm to the ones he is attached to, neither denying help to those who have need of him nor feed from the unconsenting. He follows it strictly, which repercutes in the way he feeds, so he can only feed from ghouls and people that have already consented to it; of course, that last part doesn't apply when he is in Frenzy, but even if like that, he always goes out of the way instinctively to not bringing harm to the ones he love.

That moral code, as humane as it is, brings with it something terrible: he is compassionate to a fault and can't stand seeing someone suffer. So when he has to punish someone he loathes, he always assures it himself to be quick.
