Roland Caron

Clan: Ventrue

Nature: Conformist
Demeanor: Gallant
Apparent Age: late 20s

Roland is a thin man with straight bob hair, always dressing fine clothes. He dresses ostentatiously when among the courts of nobles; when slumming, his dress is far more subdued. A man of wealth and privilege, Roland is worldly enough to integrate himself into any society. He is fanatical about keeping himself attractive, and he is most comfortable when he is able to use Parisian cosmetics. When he cannot, he is quite willing to adapt disguises. When he walks through the marketplace, he loves evaluating the value of noblest object. His favorite objects are slaves, and he is the principal dealer in Buda-Pest. After selecting those who better may satisfy his noble customers, he sells those goods at a higher price.
Roland was once content to live a life of pleasure. Handsome and commanding, he took what he pleased and never feared the consequences. His mentor, a Parisian Toreador seduced him and offered to reveal new horizons of pleasure and pain. The mentor also pursued shocking diversions, and desperately needed compliant slaves. Thus, Roland learned all the practices of slavery and exploitation, from the gentle elegance of seducing bored nobles at social gatherings to the baser practices of the slave trade.
Once Roland was fully versed in this occupation, the Toreador presented him as a gift to the Ventrue of the Holy Roman Empire. Roland’s skills were a valuable aid to sating Patrician bloodlust. The young ghoul could offer Ventrue variety in their diet while satisfying their rarefied and exotic tastes. The degenerate undead rewarded his devotion with the Embrace, making him a lackey of the clan. As they always do after conquering new lands, the Western Ventrue sent the neonate Roland to the court of Buda-Pest, with the promise of getting his own feud there.
