Quotes

Rumors

Something very much like this, indeed.

• Had all but one status stripped away.
  • Still feels like he's won.

• Had an exact duplicate made of himself.

• Davy faced the Devil in a musical duel...and won.
  • Davy is an infernalist. It turns out that duels don't always end like they do in songs.

• Some feel that Davy is completely out for himself, and doesn't care about his Clan.
  • Or any other clan for that matter. His disregard for the Masquerade will doom us all...

• Loves to talk about himself, and then his music. Ask him about the Christmas album he plans on making this year.
  • Lilyanna Salvatore refuses to play music Davy writes. She's afraid of it.

• Davy knows Necromancy, taught to him by the Baron Samedi, to whom he was introduced by Simon Random. That's how he finally got rid of the ghostly children that tailed him at Elysium...unless they were already bound to him, that is.

• Using Telepathy on Davy is inadvisable. His music dominates his thoughts, as it would dominate the mind of any to hear it in such a pure way.
  • Using Telepathy on Davy is inadvisable simply because he's crazy. You don't want that to rub off on you.
    • Davy's not "simply" crazy. He's gone utterly mad.

• Davy was trapped in another dimension.
  • It wasn't another dimension, it was an Elder Malkavian's mind.
    • The after-effects have been "interesting."

• Is now happily married to a Tremere.
  • He still very publicly has several mistresses around the globe. Wonder how the women feel about each other?

• Davy's chickens have finally come home to roost.
