Character Information

Known History

Gary.jpg

Gary surfaced several years ago in Connecticut, though was seen extremely rarely topside. Since 2007 he was seen at various gatherings in the Midwest, including many Midwinter Galas. He moved to Chicago in 2007, taking the position of Primogen under Prince Tasha X. Since then, Gary provided a fair amount of assistance to other Midwestern Domains through Influence and personal aid, like serving as Milwaukee's Nosferatu Primogen pro-tem for several Midwinter gatherings. In 2012, he left Chicago for Milwaukee to serve as their actual Primogen. Post Midwinter 2014, following the disappearance of Prince Mathias Warren, Gary claimed Praxis of Milwaukee. In 2015, a year and a half after taking Praxis, Gary was deposed by Prince Pagan, and remained in Milwaukee as their Harpy. In March 2018, Gary was removed from his position of Harpy, causing a stir in Camarilla circles. In May 2019, Gary was called into service as a Fury of Harridan Cornelius Yul.

Gary served as a Deputy Sheriff of Baltimore for the Conclave in March 2015, and as a Lesser Harpy of Baltimore for the Glitter & Gloom galas of 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.

He's been known to be a strong proponent of Humanity and has earned notable success aiding others in regaining their lost Humanity. A known pacifist, Gary avoids violence and tends to vanish in fights, taking non-combatants with him.
