Billy Donesty pulled the mob's strings in Cleveland in the early part of the Twentieth Century.  It's not clear whether he was already Embraced at this point, or not (since few Kindred from the time still walk the dark streets of declined Cleveland), but he had a reputation for surviving inescapable hits - so much of a reputation that his enemies almost gave up trying.  One last bomb was said to have gotten him, though. From a Kindred perspective, those who remember Donesty from the '30's also recall a faithful and effective enforcer for Clan Ventrue, who (fortunately for some of the Clan's detractors in those nights) was usually willing to make a last-minute deal (which he was said to never break) instead of blowing someone's head off.

Known enforcer for his clan in Cleveland by the early 20th Century, Donesty disappeared by the late 1930's. Returning some years ago, he was active establishing holdings and assets in Columbus in the 1980s before returning to torpor. He returned to the waking world in Cleveland a decade and a half ago, then served as sheriff of Columbus. He disappears intermittently when his skills as an interrogator or enforcer are less in demand, and is currently diversifying his portfolio. Donesty is taking direct interest in assuring that newly arriving or revealed Ventrue have access to the Directorate.

In actuality, Billy Donesty was a Union "Indian fighter" from Cleveland, Ohio, the son of Irish immigrants. He got the attention of certain tycoons by muscling in on their own profiteering as he and his cronies chased Native Americans out of their own lands and exploited thugs lording over migrant railroad workers in traveling work camps out west. Around the time of his embrace, Donesty returned to Cleveland, became an enforcer for undead underworld figures, was especially known for acting as his own Clan's local enforcer, and then served as a menacing deputy sheriff along with several other gangland-like figures who were collectively known as the city's "hounds". He was gaining some prominence in Cleveland by the time he disappeared in 1933. Those few who remember Donesty from those nights would realize he is not the simplistic, television-stereotyped mafia thug he has made himself out to be.  Of course, there are not many locals remaining from those nights.

A few years back, Donesty showed up out of nowhere. Meeting with his Clan and eager to do their good (or in his case, bad) work, his appearances were sporadic as he adjusted to modern life and the changes in the mortal world as well as the Camarilla.  Recently, there has been some sort of tension related to an insult Donesty received from a peer who seemed intent on blocking his restoration in his own hometown. Working quickly to network with clan mates of like disgust, he did what he does best - regulated.

Disappearing as princes in Cleveland began changing like the wind, Donesty resurfaced in Columbus (where, secretly, he had access to older holdings from the nights of Prohibition). Donesty served as Sheriff of Columbus but made himself scarce following his tenure. He occasionally resurfaces to carry out tasks on behalf of his Clan in the area.
