Known History

Gary surfaced several years ago in Connecticut, though was seen extremely rarely topside. In the last few years he's been seen at various gatherings in the Midwest, including the last few Midwinter Galas. He moved to Chicago in 2007 and has been active since then, taking the position of Primogen under Prince Tasha X. Since then, Gary has provided a fair amount of assistance to other Midwestern Domains through Influence and personal aid, like serving as Milwaukee's Nosferatu Primogen pro-tem for several Midwinter gatherings. In 2012, he left Chicago for Milwaukee to serve as their actual Primogen. Post Midwinter 2014, following the disappearance of Prince Mathias Warren, Gary claimed Praxis of Milwaukee. Recently, a year and a half after taking Praxis, Gary was deposed by Prince Pagan, and remained in Milwaukee as their Harpy.

He's been known to be a strong proponent of Humanity and has earned notable success aiding others in regaining their lost Humanity. A known pacifist, Gary avoids violence and tends to vanish in fights, taking non-combatants with him.
