# Descriptions

## Basic Description

* Dusky skin that seems as though he'd once had a tan of some sort, he maintains a gait — more lope — of the predatory nature buried deep within, and all too well known within his clan, held behind a confident sureness to him and his ways.. Despite such, he seems to have warm enough smile for a predator. His eyes have the subtle golden glow of a cat, black hair seeming a bit more unmanageable unless he bothers to clean up, including the stubble on his face.
* An ill-fitting military jacket that looks like it was pulled out of the VFW, stripped bare of anything with a word on it, worn with heavy wear and tear with plenty of poorly done patches, a wife beater, some well worn jeans, and the iconic cowboy hat.

## Common Knowledge

* Has a certain way about him with Animals, and beyond that with beasts in general. Yes, yours too.
* He is rather young, all things considered, wet behind the ears, but he seems to know plenty more than the average.
* From all appearances, he doesn't seem to itch for a fight, but is quick to aid in one.
* His sire is a rather reputable individual, or was, until he left with Xaviar. His name, for one reason or another, still carries some weight - Cyril the Bloody, potential *Laibon*.
* Harpy records have him in the upper northeastern United States for a while, after residing in Salem Mass., Baltimore MD., Richmond VA, NYC, he then up and disappeared, with a few seekings of hospitality along the coast, and further inland. And gone, for a few years, right before showing up in Fresno.
	+ [Report] **[Flag: Baali]** Salem, MA: Known to have ingested blood of demonic being, then fed same to at least a dozen local Kindred before capture by Camarilla Josian Order. Kreuger drained of Infernal blood and stripped of proscribed demonic powers. Allegedly cured, harmless. Refer all concerns to local Josian representative I guess?
		- [Addendum] *Name* of demon unreported; allegedly fought, destroyed: Salem, MA.

## Rumors

* He and his sire are backwards beyond anything I've ever seen. Something about *buku kaku*, or some sort of Kindred. I can't be bothered more with the Trash.
	+ Not to be racist, but that's some zulu voodoo bullshit, and I'm not having it. *#notmyprimogen*
	+ hahahhahahh "buku kaku" sure sounds like... bukkake...
	+ If you mean the *Daimonion*, he's got a psychic block so he can't do it anymore.
		- Not until he finds another *hit...*
			* He's got a coupla Nosferatu cultists to help him search...
				+ And still recruiting...
			* Do they think they've found a donor *here in Ashtown?!*
	+ It's *Abombwe*, the shadow-protean of the **Akunanse Spider-Gangrel** of Africa.
		- But he's white!
		- It's closer to *Obtenebration* than *Protean*...
			* Doesn't it have the weird version of *Auspex* that he's using on our invis?
				+ Guess it only works by smell, though
			* Puto he can grow the same damn claws outta shadows, that's all I cares about.
			* Isn't this the power that supposedly "proves" The Bronze is Lasombra?
				+ We couldn't have given him anything that "proved" that, none of us know what to put him down as either.
					- Maybe you don't have the right clearance, kid.
					- And what have you got Kreuger "down as"?
						* I heard he's an Apartheid.
						* Bally.
		- *#notmyprimogen*
* He's fantastic! Plays the banjo, the guitar, and is a real modern wandering minstrel. Or something. I think? It was him, right?
	+ You say *"wandering minstrel"*, I say *"meandering wastrel"*...
	+ Don't miss his Mumford cover-band's page on MySpace!
		- Rascal Trassh
			* Your clan security is a hiiighway...
* Redneck, simple, and dumb as a box of rocks. That's even insulting to both boxes and rocks.
	+ Used to be a lot keener before they cut out half his brain...
	+ Doesn't seem that *lobotomized* to me.
		- He's... getting *better*...?
			* Do you mean *recovering his faculties?!*
* Way too nice. Bark is worse than his bite, if he has any bite at all.
	+ Them Jozeans ripped his fangs out when they give him the lobotomy...
		- You mean *exorcism*. I don't think that has anything to do with the fangs.
	+ Got a mental lock like *Clockwork Orange* to keep him from getting too dangerous.
* Only bathes, when he does so at all, in the sea lion tank at the Zoo.
	+ There's plenty of information about his territory in his *Nossier*: "**Ashtown Zoo** marked as Camarilla Personal Domain under Kreuger's handling..."
		- They gave the Gangrel Primogen most of the Lupine-rife borderlands.
			* He was working with the former Seneschal back when they were snooping around Xiong, asking about werewolves.
				+ Has Xiong been having Lupine problems? All the way into Calwa?
					- Wait, *who* is doing *what* to the Lupines?
				+ They rolled all the way up to Oakhurst, watching for Lupine activity.
					- Looks like they didn't find anything.
						* Nothing they couldn't handle.
							+ One, a *by-the-book Magister*, just a tour away from retirement...
							+ The other, a *back-country Infernalist* with nothing to lose...
							+ A buddy-buddy mystery detective dramedy that will keep you "howling"!
							+ *The Lion, The Witch, and the Werewolves,* CBS Thursdays
	+ Quote: "Incredibly short tempered and easy to provoke to Frenzy when authority is challenged in his Domain."
	+ Quote: It can be "assumed most predators in zoo are in some way ghouled." speculation
* What's a Josian?
	+ They're kinda "para-Archons" in the way those tac-wearing, AR-15-toting, anti-gubmint white extremists are "para-military".
	+ It's commendable, man, for whatever degree of like respect is due a guy who starts *citizen-arresting* people, man, for breaking laws his own *Elders* wrote down in *secret, man*.
		- That's not fair, Erwin, I haven't seen *you* take down a Red Lister.
			* Like, you haven't seen Kreuger take down a Red Lister, either, man.
		- They're *watching him*, he's not *one* of them, Erwin...
			* Like, that's just your *opinion*, man. They've got him *hypnotized*, the perfect *double agent*. *Manchurian Candidate*, man. They put the code-word on the *news*, or like, *on the Radio*, and his *conditioning* kicks in...
	+ *"Set a thief..."* I guess.
		- Don't they do a background check before they let you join the Archons?
			* They're not real Archons.
			* Yes, well, he's not on the *Red List*, he's an *Infernalist*.
				+ *Was*, past tense. That's why the Josians are monitoring him.
					- I'm sure if you *quit doing* Infernalism, everything is cool.
						* Once you've captured the leader, the Manson Family are bound to all *give up* and go back to their day-jobs...
					- He can even cross hallowed ground, now! *#babysteps*
* He's sleeping with the Nossie Whip.
	+ *She was* with *him in Salem, too...*
		- But the Josians haven't been at *her*.
			* *How do you think he got his blood re-infected... #notmyprimogen*
			* The bird-girl IS the Josian, man! She's always around him cause she's his HANDLER, man! She's keeping him on a leash to keep us all safe, man.
				+ Why do you think she's having him watched so carefully? He's *never* out of sight of *Nosferatu* eyes...
				+ Musta never seen them together: *she* does whatever *he* says.
					- Like *three steps* submissive.
					- Because he's the Prophet.
	+ Bullshit. He tried to fight Bronze in Elysium over the Herald, and the Prince had to break it up cause he's her dad. He's been buying up intel on Bronze ever since.
		- Pfft, no, dumbass, the Prince was feeling the Herald up after THIS dude's kid got acknowledged or whatever? There's no way this Grel dude is dating the Herald, idiot.
		- Kreuger can't hide from the Nosferatu.
			* Christ, is she having him *followed*?!
				+ You must be new here, let me tell you about the Nosferatu...
		- She's where he *got* that "Nossier" on Bronze.
			* Maybe the half he *didn't* get from his cut-out. The Josians are *on to* Bronze.
				+ They're gonna put a block in his brain, *too*, run the pair like hounds...
	+ How many steps of *real friendly* do you think she's got over him now?
		- *#notmyprimogen*
		- How many times you think she's snuck him in the warrens?
* Careful if he comes around, he can smell through your Obfuscate.
	+ This is his **demonic investment**. *He's not supposed to be able to do it anymore.*
	+ Not just *can*, this piece of work calls out hidden Nos in Elysium like he's the vampire FBI just to impress his Elder buddies.
		- GHLP
		- Nah, it's because the Nos Whip is having him followed so that he can't cheat on her with the Herald and that's why she yelled at Little Peter when he fucking broke his cover like a dumbass, and why the Grel's been sniffing all of us out.
			* GHLP
				+ YOU CAN'T USE GHLP, LITTLE PETER!!! GHLP!!!!!
		- Raised a white flag and tried to meet with the Nosferatu delegation at that Ham place on Cherry, but the anarchs are, of course, impossible little shits, and no consensus was reached.
			* He was like, trying to offer them jobs at the zoo or something?
				+ That's how he's laundering his payments for the Bronze Dossier.
					- You mean *"Nossier"* lol
						* lolololol
				+ Why *is* he recruiting a gaggle of neonate Nos to work at the Zoo?
					- Why do you *think?*
						* Who understands why Elders do anything, bro.
							+ Who *can't* think up a use for a bunch of expendable Nos?
					- *Here we go*, Salem all over again.
						* *Just **don't drink any blood** he tries to give you...*
							+ What the fuck happened to z3r0's *eye?*
								- The Whip is grooming cultists for him. Why do you think *the Primogen of a different clan* took their Accounting?
									* "*Embracing* cultists for him", you mean?
									* How much does she owe him?
					- He's trying to make nice with his girlfriend's kids, cut the old man some slack.
						* They like Bébé's Kids, you know? "We don't die, we just multiply!"
	+ Not through *everybody's* Obfuscate...
		- So why is Rave so hard for him to find? The guy's *enormous.*
		- I don't think he's *ever* caught Janet.
		- No Earl ever caught Donnie Goh, Earl.
			* When have you *ever* been on this side of the pavement to find out, Donnie?
		- Is it just Nosferatu, or also Malkavians? Is he *smelling something on us?*
			* Unknown. The mint-runs were inconclusive, too dangerous.
				+ The Lady of the Tunnels might be *skewing the data...*
				+ The bait-grenades are working a little *too* well, but probably not practical for use on uh... *reasoning creatures.*
			* *The Malkavians* aren't crazy enough to try to sneak across the Zoo in the dark.
* MY DAUGHTER IS AN HONOR STUDENT AT CAMARILLA FINISHING SCHOOL FOR WAYWARD STREET URCHINS
	+ He tried to kill Sarah, deadass.
		- haha hey bitch idk who the fuck you think you are but i will fucking cut your face if you keep talking fake shit :DDD
			* *#grelgang*
	+ He just sat there and watched her beat fuck out of Paul in the face, and didn't even say a word about it, neither.
		- Yeah, but he hates Paul.
			* If he hates me so much, why is he trying so hard to give me a damn job?
				+ Maybe it's so you'll be too busy to snoop through his wastebasket.
				+ Maybe it's so you'll have to walk right past the Big Cat enclosure, alone...
				+ Maybe it's so he'll known immediately if you start to smell different.
				+ Maybe it's because there are trackers in the stupid name tags.
		- He had to hit her with a stick until she toughened up, like a pit dog.
			* Darlin', the little bite has ALWAYS been a scrapper. Perhaps you don't know your little friend as well as you think you do, hmm, cher?
			* *#satanistparenting*
			* Carrot-and-(literal)-stick... they're *bonding* her, too.
				+ All part of that *Stockholm process*, my good bro.
