With Mask of a Thousand Faces

Alias(es):
The Lurker at the Threshold

The Hunger
The Watcher in the Dark

Real Name: Gideon Belmont

Apparent Age: Impossible to say

Concept: Stoic Warrior-Poet



Physical description:
A solid stone monster with green moss at various points on his surface, an 11-foot behemoth with eyes that shine with a strong purple light.
He has immense chiropteran wings that make him even more threatening and his body has a carapace carved into his rocky skin. His wild features resemble that of a horned, fierce and atrocious creature with crystalline fangs.
His claws are as large as daggers, both in the hands and feet, an extension of his stone fingers.
He has a long tail, also made of stone and strong enough to be used as a weapon.
Despite his apparent bestiality, his mannerisms indicate how cultured he is.
Constantly carrying his dire sword, "Shadow of Death", it is a symbol of all the effort and suffering that he went through to reach the position of Sheriff, to prove himself to the society.
When using blood magic, his body is covered with glowing red runes.
The sword, weighing more than 850 kg and measuring almost 2 meters, lives up to its name and can cut a large creature in half with just one stroke.

Detailed Status:
Acknowledged by Ivan, Prince of Joinville
Brave by Tremere Primogen Elliot Müller for defending the domain against Sabbat and infernalists.
Feared by Positional as Sheriff

Known History

A perfect and faithful soldier raised in the days of Ceoris, he defended his masters against Tzimisce aggression for many years before being moved to Vienna.
Everything before that is a mystery even to him, but it is something he never questioned. All that ever mattered was the safety of his beloved House and Clan.
He spent years missing after the Montmartre crisis where several of his brothers ended up being destroyed, having reappeared centuries later in the secret deposits of the powerful Tremere Lord Maximus in southern Brazil.
Reanimated and placed in the services of the Chantry of Joinville, he resumed his task as a soldier, dedicating his unlife to the fight against the Sabbat and the infernalists that devastated the region.
Evolving culturally as well as physically, he was one of the first to receive the honor of being considered part of the Tremere bloodline and openly showing himself as a loyal member of the Clan.
He devoted himself both to defending the Domain of the Cruz Magna and to his studies of blood magic.
