Character Information

Known History

Little is known about the enterprising neonate, but the Lasombra antitribu Jon Mavros credited him with helping to procure art pieces for Sovereign Prince McMillan's celebration in December 2022. At the same event, he hosted a game that attracted considerable interest from both newcomers and established citizens of Atlanta, collecting over 20 boons on his first night in the city. His clanmate, Atlanta Keeper Dr. B, awarded Claude Industrious standing that very evening.

Claude attends gatherings in Atlanta about half the time. He’s often seen engaging in conversation on the night’s trending topics but typically avoids getting involved in conflicts, except through the use of Psychic Projection. When asked about his magical abilities, his usual response is, "Nothing useful," before launching into an enthusiastic explanation of complexity theory, n-dimensional matrices, and their applications to financial markets and other chaotic systems. These digressions usually ensure he's not asked further about his magical skills, leaving him free to shift the conversation to subjects that interest him more, like "Can Kindred use Earth Meld on Mars?"

Although he rarely ventures outside Atlanta, Claude has demonstrated investigative expertise in at least one neighboring domain. He’s quick to point out, however, that he feels more comfortable inscribing equations with chalk than analyzing crime scenes. In line with this, he’s been hired by parties in Middle Georgia to consult on projects that require his mathematical insight.

In December 2023, Claude once again collaborated with members of the Atlanta domain for a "Clan Pride" themed party. Although less social this time—having outsmarted himself with the scoring model he created for the evening's games—the event was well-received. He earned praise and standing for his efforts from the local Tremere Primogen.

Quotes

  • "I'm not that kind of Tremere."
  • "Magic? Only if you consider mathematics magic. Right now I'm working on trading algorithms using normed-division algebra so I can utilize sedenions and octonions for higher-dimensional analyses..."
  • "Mathemagical!"

Rumors

  • Claude doesn't know any of the thaumaturgy for which his clan is known.
    • No, he does. His chosen field of study is just so arcanely theoretical that none of it is practical on a nightly basis.
