Character Information

Known History

Isabella was acknowledged in Paris in 1500 under Prince Francois Villon.

There is little known of her between her Acknowledgement and the late 1990’s. There are rumors aplenty (see rumors) during that time.

In the Fall of 1999, she established herself in Gary, Indiana under the name Claudia de Winter. She was quickly accepted into the Court becoming Lesser Harpy of Gary and Whip of Clan Toreador. She traveled around the Midwest befriending many, influencing Toreador Clan projects, and gaining the attention of many powerful Kindred such as Justicars (Malaphar, Madame Guil, Masako), Archons, Princes, and Harpies. As her popularity grew both artistically and politically, she was chosen to serve as the Chief Herald for the Springfield Conclave in 2000. At the close of the Springfield Conclave Madame Guil announced that Claudia de Winter was dead and Isabella Galeazzo Visconti was alive and awake.

Guil’s announcement would set off a chain of events that would result in Isabella leaving Gary, Indiana and moving to Washington, DC. During her time in the MidAtlantic she served as Keeper of Elysium and then Harpy under Prince Anna Nevermore of Washington, DC. Isabella continued to travel in the MidAtlantic region and the Northeast. It also became very clear, the Tremere had their eye set on the Italian.

At the request of her Mentor, she entered into full-time service to Madame Guil. The night she agreed to enter service she was led away by the Tremere and seen on the arm of Malaphar, then Justicar to the Tremere.

She was in service for several years until Guil’s death in 2005. She returned to public life for the Judicial Conclave of Tobias Hunter in Las Vegas, NV. Justicar Maris Streck declared Isabella had repaid her debts to the Justicars and was free to return to Clan Toreador. Once the conclave was over she visited San Francisco, CA and has resided there ever since. Shortly after establishing herself in San Francisco, CA, Prince Francois Villon) called upon her services as a Diplomat, and became an Attache to France (in the United States). It’s not entirely clear if Isabella is still an Attache, or not to this day.

She currently resides in San Francisco at the pleasure of Sovereign Prince Virgil Deems as his Primogen of Clan Toreador.

Isabella is the niece of Gian Galeazzo.

• Served the Justicariate as the Secretariat-General, what is now called the Harridan.
• Served as an Archon to the Toreador Justicar.
• Former Harpy of San Francisco, CA.
• Former Keeper of Elysium of San Francisco, CA.
