Marcus White

## Introduction

Marcus White is new in town, rolling in from the Big Apple. Deciding it was time to fall out of the nest, Marcus has found himself moving into the tumultous city of Hamilton with plans, money, and ambition. Seeking to make a name for himself and establish himself in the Camarilla politics of the city, Marcus wants to make money, make connections, and not die. However, in a game of thrones, you either live, or you die.

## Description

Mr. White is an utterly average looking man, with a slightly receding hairline, a firm jaw, and friendly watery blue eyes. Wearing only the finest tailored clothes from a literal lifetime of being in the money, White does not walk around with a crown or literal scepter, because he does not want his head smashed in by his elders. He of course wears a red tie.

## Personality

A true blooded Ventrue Vampire, White feels entitled to the riches and prestige his company and money give him. While he does donate to charity (for tax reasons), his typical view on the poor is that they simply don't work hard enough, or put much effort in. White firmly believes in the American dream, however, and if someone isn't successful or happy then that's their own fault.

## Backstory

Raised in Astoria Queens, New York City, Marcus White was born to a working class family. His father worked in a textile factory, and his mother worked the till at a grocery store. New York in the 50s was a different world than it was now. The Jazz, Broadway, Jackson Pollock, and even the UN used the city as their headquarters. It was the center of the world, and young Marcus White loved his home. However a dissatisfaction with his home life awakened a deep desire for wealth in him. While his mother and father argued over bills and how to pay rent this month, Marcus swore that he'd never have the same problems as his parents, that he'd live in downtown Manhattan, that he'd have a huge apartment, and that he would never, ever be poor.

Coming out of middle school, Marcus was a very driven kid. After smoking with his friends outside and walking around the neighborhood with them, he came back to his tiny apartment that contained him, his little sister, and his two parents, and he studied for around two hours every night. Good grades were followed with sports, and Marcus was a very gifted fencer, though he never had the money to buy the equipment, so most of his experience came from hanging out with some of his wealthier friends and playing around with their fencing foils.

Out of high school, due to his high grades Marcus acquired quite a number of scholarships to top colleges, and went to Stamford business school to pursue his dreams. While working a part-time job at a local grocery store, he also joined his college fencing team, saving up for months to afford his own equipment.

Years later, after a successful business career, his job was no longer about what he originally wanted, freedom. Instead, Marcus grew to truly love and desire more and more money, and when he went to start his own private security firm in 1981, he was selected by the supposedly dead business Tycoon and influential Camarilla Ventrue, Josiah Crawler to become his progeny in order to gain control of his private security company.

As a vampire in New York throughout the 80s and 90s, White was introduced the web of lies, supernatural mysteries and the hidden war between Sabbat and the Camarilla. He also fought in the battle between the two factions during the late 90s, and acquitted himself well. Twenty years later, he decided he had grown too much to continue to live under the shadow of his progenitor, and decided to move to the biggest shitshow on the East Coast, Hamilton, Massachusetts.
