Virgyl (Clan Lasombra)
A small fish always swimming with sharks.

Description:
Slightly built, 5'10" with a narrowish, slightly aquiline face, short black hair, pale blue eyes. He doesn't wear jewelry and his taste in clothes has two gears- either businesslike suits or shirt, jeans and leather jacket- more for comfort than to intimidate, which he doesn't. Usually his manner, at least around Kindred, is either bordering on paranoid or 'please ignore me'
Background:
Young enough that to him, 'background' means mortal life and fledgelinghood, 'Virgyl' has spent most of his existence buffeted by winds of change- whether by Fate or random series of events, he tends to find himself supporting other people's causes and trapped where others' actions have left him. It did not take him long to stop resisting, and he lived most of his life coming to terms with the fact that he was constantly out of his league through no fault of his own and taking what life threw at him in the hope that someone would benefit. Raised by his wealthy, workaholic father after his mother died, he was given little choice but to study law to continue the family business or be disowned- something he might have considered except for the sake of his sister, who went largely ignored by their father.
Eventually, at 22, he left England to seek work in America as a defense lawyer, having few other qualifications. He got it, eventually, but, stereotypically, was held back by an unfortunate surplus of honesty. His quickness to learn, despite unwillingness to use most of his lessons, did, however, catch the owner of the firm's eye.
Unfortunately, the owner happened to be a notorious Lasombra antitribu, on the lookout for bright but (unusually for the clan) not over-ambitious or iron-willed mortals for the Embrace. The reason for the discrepancy was that he hoped to teach his Childe a much of disciplines as possible and deploy him as emergency cannon fodder to stave off a Coterie of Sabbat Lasombra after his blood just long enough to make an escape. More by luck than judgement, Virgyl found out about this and fled, leaving 'Jose Pablo Carlos' to be diablerised by one of the pack's two surviving members, but not before they learned of his existence.
He spent some time in New England before after his escape, and met a Gangrel who acted as a foster-sire for some months. More recently, the threat of his Sire's killers forced him to move on rather than hiding, this time 'home' to London. From there, he quickly found himself behind elder and more dangerous Kindred, following their moves with Final Death as the alternative and insignificance as his shield and his shackle.
Character Perceptions:
"He's a clanmate, which is okay. He's barely a fledgling, which is not. I doubt there's anything I can learn from him. Add that to the fact that I try to avoid long-term contact with vamps...well, if he survives long enough to grow up, we'll see what happens. He just better not piss me off."- Trahern Valley
"His name is Virgyl. I've met him briefly in the past. He strikes me as quite young and a bit uncomfortable with... everything."-Canis Nobile
"Virgyl? He's cute..in that 'I'm-just-a-shadow-and-terribly-unimportant' way..." -Alaana Zanatos
"Virgyl? The young Lasombra needs to learn his place. If he doesn't he'll be taught the hard way. A way that will be painful. But IF he survives it, he'll be the better off for it."-Darquinian Dronsmere
