Known History

pre-2006

Paul began his career as deputy sheriff in Chicago under Francis Merivein, and later served as Chicago's Brujah Primogen for much of 2004 before taking the position of Harpy in 2005. In 2006, Paul was replaced as Harpy, but in April took praxis of Kenosha, WI, following the wassail and untimely death of former Prince Johnathon Carter.

2006-2007

Around 9 months into his reign, Archon Jean Val Pierre, in service to Justicar Jaroslav Pascek, very publicly declared that Paul was under investigation for undisclosed charges, and commanded Paul to leave his domain to report to him in Prague. Paul refused, insisting that an Archon did not have the power to summon a Prince of greater standing from his domain. He told the Archon that the onus was on him to come to Kenosha to finish his own investigation, and that Archons were not Feared and Empowered for the purpose of cowering behind their desks (this exchange may have given birth to the term "armchair Archon").

As the days wore on, and neither refused to budge, Val Pierre controversially proclaimed that Paul was impeding his investigation, and sought to use his powers as Archon to remove Paul's status. Paul, outraged, argued that Val Pierre had overstepped his authority, and demanded that a Judicial Conclave be held in Kenosha. Justicar Pascek obliged.

At the conclusion of his conclave on April 25th, 2007, Paul was found guilty by Justicar Pascek, who overturned the jury's original verdict as corrupt. For failing to find Paul guilty, Justicar Pascek placed the entire city of Kenosha under ordeal. Paul was taken away as a prisoner.

Three months later, Paul reappeared in the Midwest, having been released from Prague. After spending some time surveying his former domain, Paul made a second trip to Prague. A week later, Paul returned with news that Justicar Pascek had agreed to lift the ordeal, and that Paul would be joining Justicar Pascek's staff serving as his Commissar, replacing Anton Zakharov.

2008

At the Minneapolis Conclave in 2008, Paul was the chosen speaker and clan elect for Clan Brujah. While making a speech which advocated against granting full membership to the Children of Haquim, Paul was interrupted by Justicars Petronius and Lucinde and asked to clarify his argument as to why the issue should be tabled, when Lucinde had expressly stated that it was not an option. Paul offered little argument for the Justicars, thanked them for their input, and took his seat. Paul later returned to the podium to support the reinstatement of a Gangrel Justicar.

2009

In July of 2009, the Nosferatu Shade, a high-ranking member of The Dead Man's Hand, murdered Tasha X, the Prince of Chicago. In anger, Justicar Cock Robin declared that he would have vengeance upon each member of The Dead Man's Hand. As Paul, a known member of the coterie, was seen the same night attending a Grand Elysium in Columbus, OH, the Justicar and his entourage made his way to Columbus to begin a purge.

Having arrived, Cock Robin secured Rite of Destruction from Prince Hugo Valentine, and sent his Archons to bring Paul to appear before him. Paul, typically candid about his membership in The Dead Man's Hand, boldly entered the main hall of the Elysium, wearing a shirt which openly proclaimed his allegiance to the coterie, an illustrated grim reaper holding a hand of aces and eights.

Paul attempted to assuage Cock Robin's anger at the death of Tasha X, insisting that while her murder was the act of Shade, it was not the act of the coterie as a whole. Unconvinced, Cock Robin moved to attack Paul, but was restrained by Archon Saul Good. At the same time, Mark Decker, Chief Archon to Justicar Art Morgan also intervened, placing himself between Cock Robin and Paul. Unwilling to be protected, Paul tossed Mark Decker out of his way, and resumed his discussion with the Justicar.

Though noticeably more restrained, Cock Robin was adamant that Paul be put to death for his membership in The Dead Man's Hand, but told Paul that he would be permitted to chose the city where he would die. Paul told his Avian Excellency he would present himself in Memphis within two weeks. Satisfied, Cock Robin permitted Paul to withdraw, where he was quickly pulled into a meeting with his clan.

Hours later, Paul emerged from the meeting, followed by an entourage of his clan numbering around 30. He approached Cock Robin and proclaimed before the entire court that he was cutting ties with the Dead Man's Hand, and renounced the group by tearing apart his Dead Man's Hand shirt in front of the assembled kindred. Cock Robin accepted his departure from the coterie, and in front of the City of Columbus, granted Paul the status of Brave and Loyal.

The next week, Paul kept his appointment to visit Cock Robin in Memphis. Cock Robin later announced that after a thorough investigation, Paul was cleared of any wrongdoing associated with his time spent in The Dead Man's Hand.

2011

In February of 2011, in his 4th year of service to Justicar Pascek, Paul was promoted to Archon. Paul is currently involved in the defense of Orange County, CA.

Enemies

The distinction between friend and enemy is often a blurred line for Paul, who often fights with his friends, and enjoys the support of his enemies.

However, Paul regards Katja Nothing as chief among his 'haters'.

Quotes

  • "A Judicial Conclave, called for and presided over by Justicar Pascek of Clan Brujah, proceeded in the domain of Kenosha, Wisconsin in the United States of America on the Twenty-seventh night of April, in the year Two Thousand and Seven of the Current Era. His Excellency has seen fit to make known to all who enjoy the protections of the Camarilla the judgments that have been issued as a result of that event. Paul Walker of Clan Brujah has been remanded of his position as Prince. Mr. Walker will henceforth be known to the Camarilla as an infamous public figure, bearing Notoriety in the eyes of our august sect.... Paul Walker, take note: You will endure the full weight of your punishment with pride, for His Excellency, Lord Justicar Jaroslav Pascek, allows your existence to continue. You have been granted a generous opportunity to prove yourself and to become a model Camarilla citizen, and your betters among the Camarilla will watch you with careful eyes in order to measure your success or failure...."
    - excerpt from an announcement made by Anton Zakharov, former Commissar - 2007

  • "His Avian Excellency, Justicar Cock Robin bids me report on Paul Walker, who presented himself to be judged based on his actions and his loyalty to the Camarilla. Mr. Walker has renounced any membership or loyalty to the coterie known as The Dead Man's Hand and following investigation has been released to the Camarilla by this Office at this time. Paul Walker's public declaration, in front of not only his Brujah clanmates, but to the Camarilla as a whole, was a significant statement of both courage and loyalty. Choosing the right path is not always easy, but when those who abandon such corruption repent, they may be looked upon with mercy. Those who seek personal power over the ideals of the Ivory Tower will find no such mercy."
    - Anastasia Prokofiev, Secretariat to His Avian Excellency Justicar Cock Robin - 2009

  • Katja Nothing: "Mr. Beecher, is there a Thaumaturgical ritual that the Tremere can do that would make Paul wrong for 10 minutes?"
    Elias Beecher: "I'm sorry, Prince Nothing, there are some things that are even beyond our Thaumaturgical ability."

  • "I used to say that when I grew up, I wanted to be Katja. I think I'm changing my mind. I want to be you when I grow up." -Lena!

  • I will reiterate for you... I want you to stay the hell out of my clan's business, or I will find you, crush your head like a grape, and perform extispicy on your entrails. If you enjoy the council of seers so much, ask them if I am kidding." - Paul
