⚔️ Ébles le Croisé Clan: Ventrue Demeanor: Commander Apparent Age: Late 30s
SCOURGE: Ebles le Croisé, a Ventrue of the 6th Generation, will become a key political adversary of Étienne de Poitiers. As the bastard son of Guillaume IX d’Aquitaine, “the Troubadour,” Ebles carries a complex legacy. Despite being a Ventrue, he is also a Promethean, driven by the ambition to found a “new Carthage” where humans and vampires could coexist peacefully. This Promethean ideal, unusual for a Ventrue, creates internal divisions within the clan. His conflict with the French faction (in the future Étienne) is not merely a clash of personalities but a struggle between differing visions for Cainite society. He is not the scourge for his battle knowledge but for his strong mind, challenging Vampires who do not cooperate with the current Prince, who has Ebles’ respect for ruling without a lot of force or cruelty. Ebles is also scourge because Zephyrus wanted to keep an eye on him and what is better than giving a possible rival a position that takes a lot of time and effort and to have him need to be in regular contact with you.
