Known History

Detwiler's birth likely took place sometime in the 20th century. He recently mentioned celebrating his centennial. Publications under the name James Detwiler begin to surface from the 1990s in various archaeology journals. These journals indicate that Detwiler was a professor at Cairo University until 2011, Stanford from 2011-2014, and Johns Hopkins from 2014-2017. There are indications he ventured into the private sector post-2017.

He has mingled with the Camarilla courts of Los Angeles, San Francisco, where he received Acknowledgment in 2014, and Baltimore, where he maintains the title of Least Hated Setite.

In late 2022, after a 6-year hiatus, he resurfaced in Baltimore, reinstating his residency in 2023. He seems to have taken an interest in the craft beer scene of the Mid-Atlantic.

He and his fellow Setites were instrumental in breaking the Siege of Baltimore in 2023, achieving the most kills against the Sabbat invaders in several battles.
