Overview

Davy and Sybil together soon after their wedding, a perfect picture of Kindred bliss.

Alias(es): Davy, Lips

Rumors

Something very much like this, indeed.

• Had an exact duplicate made of himself.
• Davy faced the Devil in a musical duel...and won.
  • Davy is an infernalist. It turns out that duels don't always end like they do in songs.

• Some feel that Davy is completely out for himself, and doesn't care about his Clan.

• Loves to talk about himself, and then his music. Ask him about the Christmas album he plans on making this year.
  • Lilyanna Salvatore refuses to play music Davy writes. She's afraid of it.

• Davy knows Necromancy, taught to him by the Baron Samedi, to whom he was introduced by Simon Random. That's how he finally got rid of the ghostly children that tailed him at Elysium...unless they were already bound to him, that is.

• Davy started a riot to rescue a mortal reporter he has been dating. He burned the city again while fighting a musical demon. Moral of the story: don't involve Davy if you don't want the city to burn.
  • Someone needs morality lessons. Davy led two neonates to steal cop cars, start shootouts, and kill random mortals. No one can puzzle out why.
    • Atlanta is practically rioting. The only calm area in the city: Davy's feeding grounds.

• Using Telepathy on Davy is inadvisable. His music dominates his thoughts, as it would dominate the mind of any to hear it in such a pure way.
  • Using Telepathy on Davy is inadvisable simply because he's crazy. You don't want that to rub off on you.
    • Davy's not "simply" crazy. He's gone utterly mad.

• While most Kindred have issues visiting the Fox Theater, Davy can attend shows there without being harassed.

• Davy was trapped in another dimension.
  • It wasn't another dimension, it was an Elder Malkavian's mind.
    • The after-effects have been "interesting."

• Is now happily married to a Tremere.
  • He still very publicly has several mistresses around the globe. Wonder how the women feel about each other?
