Overview

Sammy on clean up duty

Real Name: Samuel

Apparent Age: Early Thirties

Concept: Quintessential Nerd

Physical description: Samuel is very thin and stands at an unassuming 5'9". He is balding, but his thinning brown hair is rarely seen as there is typically a terribly unfashionable and ill-fitting fedora perched on top of his head. His bluish-green eyes are framed by exquisitely-crafted-yet-somehow-still-geeky glasses. Sammy has been known to wear basically anything he wants, from a kilt, to jeans and a tshirt, to a three piece suit, depending on his mood. Regardless of the formality of his style, Sammy is always very neatly groomed, and notably clean.

Known History

Samuel was embraced in 1959 in Chicago, IL. He spent the next 12 years under the Accounting of his sire, before being Acknowledged by Prince Lodin. Samuel remained in the background for the next 20 years or so, learning and observing, with very little input. He earned and lost small amounts of Status during this time, never really gaining any sort of political popularity.

As a side effect of a Praxis change in 1993, Sammy's Sire was killed. After close to 10 years of mourning and lack of motivation, Samuel finally left Chicago. He relocated to Florida, with a goal of reshaping the way the southeastern States thought of Malkavians.

Samuel's first night in St. Augustine allowed him to showcase his skills, as his suggested search patterns worked brilliantly in locating an elusive group of Sabbat. After several instances of him suggesting perfect solutions to problems plaguing the Domain, he quickly became Primogen at the request of his clanmate Orillian Rainstorm. He remained Primogen for only a short time, as Carter Johnson wisely told him one night, "You're my Keeper now."

Sammy remained Keeper for what is probably the second longest term for any individual in the modern day Camarilla (second to Vincent King, Keeper Emeritus and former Archon). He served 9+ Princes, the exact number not really being known, as there were several very rapid Praxis changes in 2007, each naming him Keeper upon claiming to be Prince.

In late 2011, Samuel moved to Buffalo, NY. He only made himself known to the Prince and Domain for one evening before going off the grid for a year and a half to investigate some personal issues. Upon conclusion of his business in March 2013, Samuel moved back to Florida, his Clan having established a strong presence in St. Augustine.

Samuel was granted Right of Progeny in April 2013, and he embraced Joseph, a radio personality he met in Syracuse.

In August 2013, Samuel attained the position of Harpy in St. Augustine, replacing Joshua Stephen Kuiper.

Quotes

"Joe's Pizza! Is this for pickup or delivery?" (Used by Sammy as what he thinks is a secure way to answer the phone when he doesn't recognize the incoming phone number)

"A blind magic user? Really?!? That's like an armless shot-putter." (In reference to Marek)

Rumors

Apparently Sammy has single-handedly slain multiple Sabbat packs. When asked about this, he will say he has no idea what you're talking about.
Is currently trying to set himself up as the new go to "elder" of Clan Malkavian. With so many well known members of the clan dying (and him always seeming to be the one who knows the most about it), he's moving up at a rapid pace.
