Known History

It is known that Lewis was embraced in 2004. The Harpy record shows his sire Dalvadian Von Grossig was granted right of Progeny by the Prince of Regina Emily Grail. It is also known that he was placed under the Accounting for two years, and was granted Acknowledgement by Prince Emily Grail in October of 2006.

After that, there's no record of Lewis until the Gimli Harpy noted his arrival to the Domain, in November of 2009. The note is as follows: "Nov-2009. Smithe, Lewis - Ventrue - Acknowledged by Prince Emily Grail, confirmed. Granted Hospitality by Toreador Prince Grover of Gimli".

It has been close to ten years since Lewis arrived in Gimli, excited and filled with optimism. And in those years, that optimism has been tempered and tested.

Lewis has survived Sabbat incursions and Lupine aggression, political upheaval and Influence wars. He has survived, for the most part, because of caution and prudence when picking his battles.

Allies

• Lewis is quite friendly with the Malkavian Daniel Warren.
• He's arm wrestled (and lost) to Nikolai Volkov, but gained a measure of his respect.
• It's likely that Charlie doesn't want to gut him. At least, not anymore.

Enemies

There are many that don't particularly like how Lewis conducts business, but none that would be considered a true enemy. Well, maybe Calvin Butler. That guy sucks.

Quotes

"It may look like the Anarch hit me, but I like to consider a punch in the face without Potence the Anarch equivalent of a Handshake."

"Before we continue, I want to take a moment to glory in the fact that I was right. I have earned this moment, and you will grant me this time to gloat."

"There is no proof of a secret Lupine-Anarch alliance dedicated to the destruction of the Camarilla. Yet."

"I am proud to say that I have successfully weaponized Positivity."

Rumors

• ex-Prince Dominic (Deceased) may or may not have touched and made Lewis touch him as well. Rumours abound of his ability to go to a happy place when it happens.
• He's a coward.
• He's been made Seneschal but already has an escape plan for when it all goes terribly wrong.
