Character Information

Known History

Davy hails from the great state of Alabama, as anyone with ears to hear is likely to pick up on when speaking to him. His mouth has been known to get him in trouble on occasion, but as his time among his more refined clanmates grows, Davy has calmed down a great deal and learned a little about what it is to be a team player. He's worn (and lost) a number of hats during his time in Atlanta, including Whip, Lesser Harpy, and Keeper.

Davy had a fairly public feud with the Brujah of Atlanta, culminating in an Elysium debate between himself, Harpy (at the time) Victor Creed, and Victor's broodmate, former Archon Jon Sebastian on the nature of Elysium and whether or not powers of the blood could lawfully be used. Years of practice at the sax instead of speeches did not help Davy, and he was soundly defeated. He spend the rest of his time as Keeper a shell of his former vibrant self, and grew a chip on his shoulder towards the Brujah that many insist he still carries to this night.

His tenure of Keeper ended after the 2009 Atlanta Gala, when he was publicly stripped of status for inadequate event preparations. Davy did not even attempt to play politics, focusing instead on his music and trying to return to his roots as an affable good old boy. It seemed to pay off; after almost a year in the political wilderness, Davy rose to become Primogen of his clan in Atlanta after Lilyanna moved to take up a position the court of Middle Georgia.

Davy's time as Primogen has been fairly calm, and it appears he has gone out of his way to not ruffle feathers. Kindred who otherwise lack representation on the Atlanta Primogen Council, particularly Children of Haqim, have been known to go to him to secure Prince McMillan's Hospitality (in accordance with the "vouching" system that the Prince employs).

He has done a great deal of "growing up" in his time in Atlanta, but Davy knows that it will be a long time yet before he is seen as a real mover and shaker outside of the shadows his clan casts over him. He is well aware that barring some catastrophic (and undesirable!) change, he will never be able to win. Instead, he is using what control he has to an effect almost as good: not losing.

Coterie

Davy has no public coterie. If he is seen with others, it is usually with someone one-on-one. On the rare occasions he is seen in a group, it is with his clan.
