Character Information
Charming? Witty? Devious? Deviant? Influential? Vapid? Whorish? Bitchy? Mercurial? Treacherous? Sweet?
The Courtesan of the Camarilla.
It seems like every vampire has a slightly different description of Calliope. The former Prince of Washington, DC and self-proclaimed former "Perma-schal" of both Suburban Maryland/Annapolis and Washington, DC, Calliope has made quite a name for herself since she moved out to the Mid-Atlantic from Chicago in 2002.
A socialite born and bred, Calliope can always be found in the midst of conversation. She's the quintessential Toreador Who Knows Everyone Worth Knowing, and she makes it a point to keep on top of her game. Her "Hookers & Blow" parties and her annual Bacchanal at the autumn Nonclave event have become the stuff of local legend, as have her reputed sexual/sensual appetites. The social ties she's created over the years have provided her with a long list of allies and contacts, many of whom have grown to be quite powerful. She is, without a doubt, the Courtesan of the Camarilla -- and affects not the slightest bit of shame when confronted with the title.
Is there more to Calliope than parties and socializing and decadent debauchery? Some say that beneath her hedonistic exterior lies a young singer/dilettante who was Embraced by one of the most infamous Toreador the Camarilla has seen in recent years, a woman who has struggled against the stigma of her blood from the moment she set foot on American soil. And even in the face of that stigma, she's proven to be a more-than-capable politician, acting as Seneschal under three separate Princes before taking the praxis of Washington, DC when Dean Famularo was promoted to an Archon position. She stepped down from her Princedom in September 2006, and spent her time in semi-retirement until July of 2008: when the entire foundation of the Mid-Atlantic political scene was thrown into chaos...
