Character Information

Known History

After his Embrace and Acknowledgment, Sylphain left his Sire (of whom he rarely speaks) and Marseilles and proceeded to wander through Camarilla territories for forty+ years. Primarily through luck, he managed to avoid situations that could be seen as either dangerous or educational.

When the Twin Cities hosted a debate on the nature of the Camarilla and the Traditions in November of 2009, Sylphain, ever the scholar, decided to see what the event was all about. Something about the Domain triggered a wish to settle down, and he has remained there since.

By summer of 2010, Sylphain had gone from unknown nobody to Primogen of Clan Toreador, though he is entirely unsure how this event transpired.

Throughout the majority of his time in the Domain of the Twin Cities, he seems to have been inordinately obsessed with the weather and with Latino gangs. Last winter, the Kindred of the Domain staged an assault, with Sylphain at the head, on a church in a gang-infested area of the Cities, and this obsession has died down.

After being unwillingly involved in the execution of James Carlson, Sylphain ended up with the Accounting of Natasha Taylor due to the efforts of Primogen Howell.

• "Well, we may not have had bobbing for apples like Fargo did, but it was still a fairly successful party."

Rumors

• Is Malkavian, at least in part.
• Hates the idea of being in positions of power.
• Headed a judged costume competition at the Twin Cities Halloween party; the judges decided the overall winner was Joseph Hanover, who to most appeared to be possessing a Crinos-form werewolf... but out of mischief or spite, Sylphain awarded the grand prize to the werewolf, not Hanover.
• Is plotting to support another in a bid for Praxis on order to become Seneschal.
• Is a Malkavian infiltrating the Toreador clan for fun and/or profit.
• Once "strategically commandeered" a Malkavian blanket fort on Elysium. Seriously.
• Triggered the worst snowstorm to hit the Twin Cities in over a century.
• Seems to be romantically involved with Ari Renard
• Is plotting to take Praxis of the Twin Cities.
• Is beginning a brutal take over of the drug trade in the Twin Cities.
• Paid Syprus Herring 100 bolts of zebra-print fabric in return for her aid in protecting a Clanmate's ghoul. An hour later, the congratulatory party for Prince Morgan Wynn Howell's one year Praxis anniversary was decorated in zebra print.
• After spending a year as Primogen, he approached Prince Howell and told him he could no longer be Primogen. Howell offered him the Sheriff position on the spot.
• Although he agrees that “Madam Priscilla” is a Bitch, Sylphain is actually fond of his Primogen.
