Character Information
Known History
Gerard claims to have spent his living years as a world traveller, having been born in Hong Kong and spending his early childhood in the Carribean. He keeps his past to himself other than random anecdotes about European and Asian countries. One thing that is known, In May of 2011 Gerard moved to Westchester County, NY and looked to establish business, mortal and kindred, in Greater New York. He has since been injected into the Court structure as Keeper of Elysium and is already one of the more respected and recognizable members of the domain.
Gerard has taken a recent interest in adding a more established nightlife to the Ulster County area. Also, his fasion sense has been duplicated by the Prince of Greater New York who now also wears a shiny gray sharkskin suit and a black shirt.
In late 2011, Gerard's name exploded as a new business mogul in the New York area. His development projects to bring prosperity to the City of White Plains has been touted on some National News networks (Fame x4) and his name is household in the state of New York. His subsidiary company, The Tomorrow CompaNY, is solely focused on bettering the Greater New York area, promoting tourism, and improving like for the citizens.
In early 2012, Gerard was seen travelling to Hartford, CT to meet with several area Ventrue. As often happens in Hartford when Ventrue meet, rumors began to circulate that Prince Anya's praxis may be in jeopardy. No power play was made that evening, however, and the Ventrue seemed cordial and willing to help with any city matters.
In March 2012, Saint Clair was named the successor as Ventrue Primogen. He continues to serve as Keeper of Elysium for the present.
On the evening of September 14th, 2012, Gerard Saint Clair announced that Edmond Dantes had adopted pursuits that the man obviously felt were greater than the Domain. Saint Clair seized Praxis uncontested. He publicly stated he did not begrudge Dantes for his abandonment, since the Nosferatu as a founding clan of the Camarilla helped build the foundation of the Sect, Dantes did his part in building the foundation of the domain.
Coterie
Gerard brought a few friends with him to Westchester. Most notably a Brujah named Gabriel Phillip Lono, a Toreador named Julietta Sarantos, and a Malkavian named Lillian Kinney. He refers to them all as work associates at his firm, Global Solution Consultants, and they do spend a good amount of time at court interacting outside of their circle. As to whether or not this group is a coterie... that's for others to decide.
