Archived-Emmanuel De La Seirra

Personal Information

Appearance

Appearing to be in his late 20s with a somewhat athletic build (5”6’, 75kgs) Emmanuel has jet black eyes and pale skin, with short brown hair. He tends to favour wearing black and red clothing (symbolic of the poisonous redback spider, his contract-killer mark) that give off an air of professionalism and speaks straight-forward.

To some degree the Embrace was forgiving, as Emmanuel looks quite normal from afar. However, those who looked upon him begin to develop a sense of dread and fear in his presence as if starring into the darkening void of their very own soul, creating an indescribable unease and discomforting web that may gradually take hold and encompasses those around him. However, Emmanuel has mastered the ability mask this presence, appearing somewhat mortal to those around him, or to amplify it, unleashing his toxic nightmarish presence upon all who gaze upon him.

Personality

Born into an impoverished mortal family, Emmanuel took up the mercenary trade as a contract killer. As a result he is now very much cold to the core, like all born killers, and tends to view others as assets with a useful life and expiration date. He rarely shows mercy nor exhibit weakness such as kindness and has no tolerance for insubordination, especially where it may jeopardize the security of the Lancea Sanctum.

Emmanuel also has an extreme distaste for resounding and inelegant modern firearms preferring the artistry of knives and combat, surrounded by a swirling whirlwind of blood and blades. He relishes in chasing his targets and finds a moving target far more challenging and fascinating.

Mortal World

As an ex-mercenary Emmanuel has few ties with the mortal world, and his dread-mongering presence (prior to learning to mask it) only furthered his segregation from society. He has been educated on most of the past 15 years in the mortal realm by his overly chatty wisp companion, Constantia, for whom he can only presume he has been charged with assisting by the Divine's will.

While his ex-mercenary company continues to fund many of his operations, Emmanuel mostly watches the mortal world from afar through hacked security surveillance cameras on his laptop, emerging only to feed and tend to his stock as required.

• MAR

Knight Templar Emmanuel takes up arms and is involved in the frontal assault on the hunters Bunnings stronghold to retrieve the Lancea bishop, Grendal Volmark. Reconnaissance within the stronghold revealed there to be ~80 brood. All 80 brood later escaped into a carpark fight. In the aftermath is was noted that 40+ are still loose.

• APR

After a territorial defense encounter with a vampire poaching in the Lancea Sanctum territories discussions were held and a court was called to bring justice to the perpetrator. However, despite the balance of probability and the missing fence paling with the blood on it there was inconclusive evidence to convict the accused court member beyond reasonable doubt. Ensuing from this matter Emmanuel was elevated to Primogen of the Lancea Sanctum by Esteban Cortes to bring new control to the Armidale Lancea Sanctum, given Tamara Wilk's disappearance, and to hopefully assist in reviving the Lancea Sanctum to its once former glory.
