Nothing is yet known of the enterprising neonate. The Lasombra Jon Mavros gave him credit for helping to procure pieces of art for Sovereign Prince McMillan's celebration in December 2023. He ran a game at the same event that saw a great deal of interest from visitors and established citizens of Atlanta alike, collecting over 20 boons the first night anyone met him.

Little is known about the enterprising neonate Claude Schaeffer, but the Lasombra <i>antitribu</i> Jon Mavros credited him with helping to procure art pieces for Sovereign Prince McMillan's celebration in December 2022.

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?"

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.

Attending gathers in Atlanta maybe half the time, Claude is normally seen talking with other attendees on the hot topics of the night, although he is generally reluctant to engage problems apart from using Psychic Projection. When people ask him what magic he knows, "I'm not quite that kind of Tremere" is his most common refrain, followed by a passionate explanation of complexity theory, ''n''-dimensional matrices, and how such things can apply to financial markets and other chaotic phenomena. He's rarely asked about his magical skills after such digressions, allowing more time to start conversations more interesting to him with questions like "Can Kindred use Earth Meld on Mars?"

Venturing beyond Atlanta, Claude has demonstrated investigative expertise in at least one neighboring domain.

He followed his initial event up a year later, helping to throw a holiday party celebrating clan pride in December 2023. (He didn't engage in many festivities, spending his time in a corner with a laptop with spreadsheets he said were necessary to run the scoring formulae for the evening's game.)

Recent nights have seen his star rise - over the course of 6 months, Claude has ascended to the title of Primogen of his clan in Atlanta, been awarded status by a neighboring primogen for his efforts contributing to an investigation of a Masquerade breach, and joined the ranks of the Elysian Knights Society.

Character Information

Known History

Little is known about the enterprising neonate Claude Schaeffer, 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?"

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.
