Known History

Rufus arrived in the Summer of 2017 to the domain of Stamford. He stated his previous city as Milan and his desire to come to the Americas was around the available research easily accessible from the domain. Rufus quickly integrated himself into the city to prove himself an asset.

In August 2017 Rufus was granted official residency by Prince Calvin Butler on the same evening that Fredrick Gold, Prince of Hartford, was ceremoniously named Venerable as a Sovereign Prince of the Camarilla. In addition to his acceptance as a permanent resident of Stamford, Rufus was granted standing for his Distinguished work in the domain alongside Harpy Claire Ward.

At formal court in September 2017 Rufus was given the honor of presenting two visiting luminaries who were visiting the court of Prince Calvin Butler: Giangaleazzo, Prince of Milan, and Alejandro Kleist, Captain of the Black Aegis, and Admiral of the Camarillan Fleet. While their exact business in the domain remains largely a mystery, talk is that they were well received, honored guests.

During the early October gathering, Prince Butler named Rufus to fill the vacant seat of Seneschal. During that same evening, hosted at the home of Primogen Harrington, Rufus won a Halloween themed puzzle hunt.

What's cooler than being cool? Ice cold! - Rufus at the 2017 Northeast Event Conclave

During the Hartford Conclave of 2017 Rufus served as the petitioner for the Lasombra agenda of having the Herald officially recognized as a sanctioned Camarillan position. This event served as his public declaration of his lineage. His proposal received overwhelming support.
