Character Information

Davy hails from the great state of Alabama, which anyone with ears to hear will be aware of within moments of meeting him. His "rural" accent and mannerisms are the butt of many a joke, but most of those are told by Davy himself.

While it's rare these nights to hear at gather, Davy is most famous for his skills on the saxophone. He plays for Princes, Archons, and countless other luminaries of the Camarilla.

Known History

Davy's mouth has been known to get him in trouble on occasion, but as his time among his more refined clanmates grows, Davy has calmed down a great deal and learned a little about what it is to be a team player. He's worn (and lost) a number of hats during his time in Atlanta, including Whip, Lesser Harpy, and Keeper.

Davy had a fairly public feud with the Brujah of Atlanta, culminating in an Elysium debate between himself, Harpy (at the time) Victor Creed, and Victor's broodmate, former Archon Jon Sebastian on the nature of Elysium and whether or not powers of the blood could lawfully be used. Years of practice at the sax instead of speeches did not help Davy, and he was soundly defeated. He spend the rest of his time as Keeper a shell of his former vibrant self, and grew a chip on his shoulder towards the Brujah that many insist he still carries to this night.

His tenure of Keeper ended after the 2009 Atlanta Gala, when he was publicly stripped of status for inadequate event preparations. Davy did not even attempt to play politics, focusing instead on his music and trying to return to his roots as an affable good old boy. It seemed to pay off; after almost a year in the political wilderness, Davy rose to become Primogen of his clan in Atlanta after Lilyanna moved to take up a position the court of Middle Georgia.

Davy's time as Primogen was calm, then the Sabbat returned to Atlanta. Davy at first sat on his mountain, refusing to get involved. As the siege continued, the domain endured but its soul was slipping. Watching his friends slide further and futher to the Beast, Davy took a trip. When he returned, he was a different man: he speaks in riddles and metaphors to the exclusion of almost all else even as he strives to fight the specter of the Beast in Atlanta.

When asked about his new state, Davy has been known to smile and say only, "key change."
