Character Information

Douma is an aloof traditionalist who is often seen hovering about the edges of gathers. He has been described as practical to the point of being amoral. Although he is the quintessential Tremere, Douma hates to be witnessed using Thaumaturgy and has even apologized to the Prince after using magic to put out a fire. When dangers outside the normal ken come against the city the Seneschal prefers to go out alone and put himself between the Domain and the threat. As Seneschal, Douma believed that his Position and his standing in the Camarilla gave him the responsibility to protect the Domain. While he took his duty to protect the Domain very seriously, he is still very much the capitalist and has on occasion charged for his services. It remains to be seen how becoming an Archon will impact this stance. He can be quite charismatic and friendly but it is probably forced and he is certainly not a fan of subtlety.

Known History

Douma came into Atlanta from Savannah after the disappearance of his clanmate Michael Carpenter during a time when Tremere were widely and openly distrusted in Georgia. His history before this time is unknown except that he was only Acknowledged a month prior to his arrival in Atlanta. Douma attached himself to the Ventrue Prince Arich Dolen and the up and coming Ventrue Scott Daine and quickly rose in the domain serving as both a Keeper and as a Primogen. When Daine took Praxis over Atlanta he took Douma as his Seneschal. Later Prince Daine replaced Douma as Seneschal and Douma was made Primogen again. Shortly after Prince McMillan took the Praxis over Atlanta and Douma returned to his previous position of Seneschal. He is married to Genervera St. James of Clan Ventrue.

In June of 2012 he was appointed Archon to the Tremere Justicar, Lotharius.
