Character Information
Known History
Jonathan spent many years serving as a Tremere retainer. Some of this time was spent serving in Chicago in the mid to late 1990’s. Though his years as a Kindred are short his long term as a ghoul are reflected in his conservative behavior and attitudes which are more in line with those of an older Ancilla or even a young Elder.
Jonathan is known to be unfailing courteous in his dealings with everyone. He is a highly skilled linguist and an academician.
Jonathan has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to work with anyone and everyone for the betterment of the Camarilla and the Domain. He even works well with independents and Anarchs.
