On the Night of September 2nd Dr. Kaufman was introduced to the Twin Cities Court as Geoffrey Noble’s Childer.
During his time in the Twin Cities he has done many things. He has brought light to the darkness with his Flashlight app on his iPhone. Without even a screwdriver, he stopped the Elysium's security system from beeping at the Seneschal. Dr. Flowers convinced a Nosferatu that flowers are desirable, love is real, and she too could be the next big winner. Thousands of dollars of flowers have been sold by him with only a boutonnière as an example. He defeated a raving maniac (smelling of Safari and bent on killing James and Natasha) with only kind words, a bottle of whiskey, and a shoe. Wile surviving an explosion and in the midst of saving the Sheriff and another from the same fiery fate, He parted a sea of angry extreme Right-Wing Black Metal fans by yelling at them. Dr Kaufmann drives a Mini. He's been chauffeured by a Toreador of higher status from the Twin Cities to St. Cloud to Owatonna and back again. He appears to perspire. Once using only a permanent marker, dim lighting and a surprisingly elaborate costume he arranged for the escape of several kindred from a magically protected building. Keepers World wide swoon over his clean up of the Saint Cloud Library Breach. His deft floral arrangements have earned him fame in international botany circles. All of this he has accomplished, and he has not yet been Acknowledged.
The Doctor is an avid follower of Rumors, News and Famous people especially Famous Kindred.
