Personal Information

Alexander Stark (Shroud) is a Mekhet within the Court of High Priestess Maeve. He acts as a deputy and investigator within Perth, having previously been the Sheriff of Melbourne for Jeremiah Stone and Aisha al-Zaidi of the Lancea Sanctum. He is quite active within the current Movement and Mekhet, acting as Mekhet Priscus while Cythrawl is unavailable.

Appearance

Shroud looks like a young man in his early 20's, reasonably tall and slim muscled beneath his clothing... Not that many see it. The mask and gloves he previously wore are now rarely seen. When in public he frequently wears his old patched up black and grey hooded jacket, boots and jeans, normally concealing an array of weapons and tools on his person. Greenish-grey eyes gleam mischievously, and his natural hair is well kept and dyed frequently to a different shade of brown.

Personality

Those who knew Shroud from a couple of years ago would find the current Shroud completely different from who they knew. While he used to cover himself up and hide behind others, he has slowly become more natural in his presence after recently spending some time as the Sheriff of Melbourne and the subsequent time in Perth. He now is more active in the city, clan and covenant, currently setting up racing events for the Movement.

Mortal World

Being quite young, he still has large amounts of access to the current mortal world and is active in it. He works as an IT security analyst and is the lights and sound technician for the group of roaming kindred performers the Midnight Masque. His identity as the Masque technician was something he covered with his skull mask and dressing style, and he was known for highly technical light shows and sound engineering.

Quotes About

"Well, that guy was just about the mildest-mannered monster to ever scare me shitless." - Sash, amiably, May 2015.

"So good at pretending to be human, I'd say he almost fools himself. He'd actually be pretty cute, in a way, if not for the whole, you know, bloodsucking-undead-obscenity-and-nightmarish-perversion-of-the-natural-order thing. It's a shame, but only idiots see a tiger lapping milk and think that makes it a housecat.
Gonna have to stay frosty; he could be trouble. Could be useful, too." - Sash, after further acquaintance, June 2015.
