+Definitely not actually Mark Richardson.  The joking story he tells about his name is that he chose Mark because it's a sign or symbol, and all names are signs or symbols of the real object, and he chose Richardson because his dad was a Dick.  But all that's a lie which got written into your head in 2019 by a Sumerian God.  It never happened, you only think it did because you're the kind of person who believes lies.  That's fine.  We all do, here.  We embrace the story, the shape of things, rather than the truth underneath.  The approximation is sufficient referent to the real object, at least for our purposes.  You know who we're talking about.  Mark Richardson.<br>

-Moved to San Francisco in the early 2000s.  Was Malkavian Primogen there for many years under several princes, until [[Virgil Deems]] named him Seneschal.  A drunken madman, full of schizophrenic stories of trees, maenads, the eagle-headed Aztec god who rules Disneyland from the realm of the dead, the reptoids.  Made claims of dying and rising again. Traveled a lot, got tangled up in romance after romance, in plots and schemes and conspiracies.  Then, in March of 2020, something happened.

 '''Physical description:'''<br>
-’10”, 170 lb, long brown hair, blue-green eyes.  Dark circles under the eyes, stubble, slightly hollow but flushed cheeks.  Clammy or yellowish tinge to skin.  Often has twitches and nervous tics, laughs or giggles compulsively.  Usually dishevelled and sometimes mistaken for homeless, wearing something like jeans and a sweater with an old (WW2 US) army coat.  Cleans up well on official occasions, but looks dishevelled within an hour or so anyway.  Looks distracted when he starts talking, then gets way too intense when he focuses on something.  Then a tangent about video games or the vast reptilian conspiracy.  Then BACK ON TARGET<br>
+Physical forms are limiting.  He is that part of you that laughs at your mistakes, encourages you to go all in, and is always setting a new scheme in motion, never content. The part that loves you because you always want it stronger, louder, more complicated. The part of yourself everyone loves, that needs everyone to love them almost as much as it needs blood. The part of yourself that, just like you will be hungry for more blood the next night, is never satisfied for long. The part of you which loves to hold a secret only you know, and loves to share parts of that secret with others, to see if they can piece it together, to see if they are worthy. The part of you that understands a great Truth. The part of you that is the party, and the blackout, and the hangover. The part of you that embraces consequences. The part of you that has Eaten the Flesh, that has Drank the Blood, that has Seen The Moon full on the face of the waters. The part of you that loves you, loves your failures, and knows nobody else ever will, no matter what they convince themselves. <br>

 <h2>Character Information</h2>
 ==Known History==
-Moved to San Francisco in the early 2000s.  Was Malkavian Primogen there for many years under several princes, until [[Virgil Deems]] named him Seneschal.  Willingly admits to being schizophrenic before his embrace, sometimes gripes about it.  He apparently has domain over “Mark’s Tree”, whatever that is.  Disappears every once in a while, usually for no more than a couple of months.  Often comes back with completely bizarre and unbelievable stories about the rapture or maeanads or eagle-headed aztec ghost gods haunting disneyland.  Lately he's been travelling and spending less time in San Francisco - after a year and a half of this, he finally stepped down as Seneschal there.

-Presumably the local Camarilla power structure in the Bay Area, like [[Virgil Deems]] and [[She that Burns As the Sun (Sunny)]].  He has dealt with the Kuei-jin more than just about anyone other than [[Jack Sebastien]] and [[Jack Rogan]], though that gets complicated.  He's also been seen being quite friendly with [[Andrea McDermott]], as well as a number of his clanmates, such as [[Thomas True]], [[Izarra Getzi]], and [[James Abbott]].
+Whoever he may have known, whatever he may have become, he is ready to take you as an ally.  Just give up this Apollonian bullshit, embrace desire and madness, and walk right off that cliff with a cheerful song on your lips.  For he who believes in me shall have life eternal.
