Alias(es):
"R. Cas" (in formal writings)

Real Name: Rufus Castor

Apparent Age: Mid-twenties

Physical description: An imposing gentleman with an air of refinement. His manners and practiced grace betray him to an older time. His most striking feature is his dark red hair. He is usually seen wearing the Camarilla insignia on his lapel. Although his normal attire covers them, when seen in shorter sleeves such as the 2017 Northeast Event Conclave, he has a tattoo on each forearm: on the left a written expression and on the right a coat of arms.

Known History

Rufus arrived in the Summer of 2017 to the domain of Stamford. He stated his previous city as Milan and his desire to come to the Americas was around the available research easily accessible from the domain. Rufus quickly integrated himself into the city to prove himself an asset.

In August 2017 Rufus was granted official residency by Prince Calvin Butler on the same evening that Fredrick Gold, Prince of Hartford, was ceremoniously named Venerable as a Sovereign Prince of the Camarilla. In addition to his acceptance as a permanent resident of Stamford, Rufus was granted standing for his Distinguished work in the domain alongside Harpy Claire Ward.

At formal court in September 2017 Rufus was given the honor of presenting two visiting luminaries who were visiting the court of Prince Calvin Butler: Giangaleazzo, Prince of Milan, and Alejandro Kleist, Captain of the Black Aegis, and Admiral of the Camarillan Fleet. While their exact business in the domain remains largely a mystery, talk is that they were well received, honored guests.

During the early October gathering, Prince Butler named Rufus to fill the vacant seat of Seneschal. During that same evening, hosted at the home of Primogen Harrington, Rufus won a Halloween themed puzzle hunt.

During the Hartford Conclave of 2017 Rufus served as the petitioner for the Lasombra agenda of having the Herald officially recognized as a sanctioned Camarillan position. This event served as his public declaration of his lineage. His proposal received overwhelming support.

Quotes

"Knowledge is a power just as Dominate or Potence. Just because you have it is not an excuse to use it in all scenarios." - Rufus on Knowledge

"There are a number of Princes that have been named Sovereign but this was unique in that Prince Gold was named Venerable in the court of his child, also a successful sitting Prince. It's... elegant. Congratulations, your Grace" - Rufus on Sovereign Prince Gold's ascension happening in Stamford.

"Between you, me, and the 13 Nosferatu we can't see..." - sharing a not-so-secret secret

Rumors

• Rufus did not intentionally keep his Clan a secret. In fact, everyone in Stamford knew but no one talked about it.
