Character Information

Fiercely loyal to Clan Tremere, sometimes to his detriment, he views the concept of his clan more as a philosophy and a way of life, rather than a machine which he is a cog.

Known History

Warchild has attested to his history as a mortal during the time the English were at war with the French. He has mentioned he grew up on a Man o War named the HMS Righteous Endeavor where he was a Gunnery and Carpenters assistant, as he grew older, he was groomed and placed as a Leftenant of His Majesty's Royal Marines aboard his same ship.

The first mention of the Kindred known as Winston Warchild in Kindred History was before the Bulchevik revolution in Moscow. During a bloody clan war the Brujah purged several of theirs, during that time Warchild has mentioned that he saw his Sire ripped apart by a mob of angry Brujah, of whom he has never forgiven or forgotten. Nearly losing his own life he left Moscow by aid of Irena Kalishnikov. He wasn't heard from again for another 15 years until when he was Acknowledged in Vienna Austria.

Warchild served Clan Tremere as a driver and security agent for other notable Tremere and guests. Not much of note was chronicled in the annals of Kindred History about him until he arrived in Santa Rosa California in the early part of the 21st century. He became Primogen under Prince Brian Fischer, and then eventually Prince after taking Praxis from the Gangrel Oz. Oz had outlawed magic in his Domain, which the Tremere would not suffer.

During his reign his Domain was beset by many outside problems, including a Sabbat invasion. Each challange that arose, Warchild and his populace overcame them.

During the time when Brujah across the world lost their control, Warchild was affected as well, he ended up alone in a fight against the united Clan of Brujah in Sonoma County in which he was the sole Kindred standing in the aftermath. This was when Elissa Maxwell took the opportunity to seize Praxis for Marcus Jovan, which Warchild did not contest.

Warchild has started his laborious attempt at repairing his name, and has accepted the position of Keeper of Elysium under the Kindred who took his Praxis.
