'''Alias(es): '''Robert Sissco(?)

'''Real Name: ''' Robert Sissco(?)

'''Apparent Age: '''Mid 20's

'''Concept: '''Generic Tremere that evolved into a political powerhouse in Fargo, with a knack for putting out fires started by House and Clan

'''Physical description: '''Rather unremarkable looking individual, he tends to let his personality and reputation do most of the work in social situations. Standing at 6', with a few extra pounds, and curly brown hair tries to keep combed down. One thing that many do notice right away is that his fangs are always bared (OOC: Permanent Fangs flaw), although he claims this was a cosmetic surgery he elected to have during his "Goth phase" in college.

Prior to taking Praxis of Fargo, ND, Sissco would often be seen in a black suit, and never without his blue silk tie. Since taking Praxis, Robert can be seen in jeans and a suit jacket with a brightly colored collared shirt. He credits this change to a ghoul of his who fancies herself a fashion expert. She said that he needed a new look now that he is even more important to Fargo.

He has since returned to Fargo, slightly altered, now sporting long hair and a beard, a result (or so he claims) of an experiment gone awry to be able to grow a beard (similar to the way the Tremere can grow out the hair for someone) for Toreador who became enamored with the Hipster movement.

<h2>Character Information</h2>
Robert came to Fargo from Kansas City in October 2006. After a short time he was made whip, twice. Both tenures lasted one week each, with the first Primogen he worked for being killed, and a Praxis change removed the other Primogen from office.

After this he joined a coterie other low status Kindred in Fargo, and from there he moved up quickly, serving as Primogen, Harpy and Seneschal under three different Princes: Markus Knight, Donald Oates, and Rumor.

Robert appears to have business interests all over the state of North Dakota and often times travel to oversee affairs at the various interests, sometimes for months at a time. While he calls Fargo home, he often times travel. When he does reside in the city, he influence and power is often times felt and leant to the defence and growth of the domain.

In 2014, Robert Sissco took praxis of Fargo, ND after then prince Gus Thompson of Clan Brujah stepped down for personal reasons.

After about a year, Sissco stepped down from Parxis and helped oversee a peaceful transition of the title to Dean James of Clan Brujah. He then moved out West in the state to oversee some work in the Williston/Dickinson area, which is overseeing a large population boon due to the Bakken Oil Fields.

Robert has returned and after some work claimed the title of Harpy and is working to train additional individuals in the daunting task of fulfilling this cherished position. In addition, he has brought his childe, whom he embraced while he was Prince

Within mortal affairs, Robert is famed throughout the Red River Valley as an occultist, and if often time consulted by the Fargo police department for insight. For occult purposes, Robert can often times be reached at ''Paranormal Books & Knowledge'', his bookstore in North Fargo in the infamous Trollwood district.

He is also the owner and operation of ''Velvet'', a high-end night club that he sponsors as an Elysium to the domain of Fargo.

In recent nights, claims of Sissco's deeper, mythological connection to the domain of Fargo. An item of great power, simply referred to as ''"The Chalice"'' made a return when he, and a Brujah by the name of Berith, found shards of the shattered artifact in their havens. From there, rumors of a contract, signed centuries below by various Kindred, swore them, and their descendants, to protecting the chalice. In June of 2016, the chalice was purified and taken by Robert Sissco and Primogen Simon Donovan, also of Clan Tremere, for safe keeping.

With this artifact purified and in Tremere hands, Robert again left Fargo to go assist Grand Forks, which was recently retaken from Lupines and Hunters, to make sure that it is stabilized and under proper Camarilla control.

Upon returning to Fargo and ensuring that Grand Forks and Bismarck was stable, Sissco was asked to serve as Keeper of Elysium, which he did so for about a year before being asked to serve Fargo as Harpy by the Primogen Council.

With the Praxis of the domain of Fargo by Charlie, Sissco was asked to serve as her Seneschal.

Since Charlie's disappearance, Sissco has served as Sheriff, Primogen and most recently Seneschal under Prince Henry Garand.

With Charlie's return, Sissco has been seen splitting his time between Fargo and Duluth, coming and going between the two domains, working on a project, although while he is in Duluth he does not partake in their gatherings.

==Childer==
Olivia Sissco - Sired during Robert's tenure as Prince of Fargo. The two maintain a husband and wife mortal personal to help explain why the two have suddenly moved in together. Among the Tremere, the hierarchy is strictly maintained. 

Jennifer Sissco (Adopted): A malkavian embraced as a shovelhead during a raid on Fargo, she managed to escape her fate of breaking upon the Camarilla and found a way to contact the Ivory Tower of Fargo. Sissco fought for her survival as she had not undergone any of the Sabbat rituals and verified though Auspex and his own magicks that she was not a double agent for the Sabbat. She was granted her Acknowledgement and left the domain of Fargo to make a name for herself. 

Claire Sissco (Adopted): Another malkavian, this one tricked into being embraced at the chance of being a real vampire, something she and her LARP troupe jumped on the chance to occur. She lucked out and her sire was an independent who did not force her to undertake the Vaulderie and told his child of an Elysium in Fargo to petition the Camarilla for membership. She met up with Sissco acting in Prince Garand's stead as personal affairs took him from the domain that evening. Verifying that she was a true defector, her protected her until Prince Garand could meet with her, and satisfied with her honest endeavors to join the Camarilla, placed her under Sissco's accounting where she currently remains.
