Gwynhala (Clan Brujah)
Condemned as a heretic by men, embraced as a visionary by childer of Caine, his true faith manifests God's mercy -- and wrath.

Description:
Conservative, perhaps even anachronistic, with the bearing of one made stoic by long suffering or servitude. A middle-aged man, Germanic in his coarser features, Turkic influences evident in wizened almondine eyes and weathered olivine skin. Not tall - about 5' 7". Clean shaven. Simply clad, in dark tones.

After a few moments conversation, you might discern that (in another life, so to speak) he had been a priest. A few hours more - for conversation with one so opinionated, so logical, so oddly charismatic, would enrapture - and you might discern that he had been a revolutionary, a scholar, a military commander, a madman. That he had taken life, and given it. That he was not what he seemed, although it was not entirely clear whether better or worse.

Background:
Gwynhala was born in the early 4th century in Cappadocia, now Turkey, son to a Cappadocian Christian and the Gothic warrior who took her as his slave. He was raised among the Goths, and later returned to them as a Christian missionary preaching the new heretical Arian Christianity, which denies the Trinity. Sometime during his missionary work, he was embraced.

Later he traveled the world, or at least ranged from Alaska to North Africa, evidently spending a lot of time with tribal elders and medicine men, collecting the stories which he seems to relish retelling -- always with a moral.

Little else is known about his background.
