“And I rejoiced, for I knew I was Damned, and that God willed it so.”

Testament of Longinus

Malediction 12:13

The Monachal Creed

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae.

Et in Iesum Christum, Filium eius unicum, qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine, ut redimeret homines a peccatis per mortem suam et resurrectionem.

Et in Longinum, qui transfixit latus Salvatoris dum pendebat in cruce, quo divinitatem Christi revelavit secundum prophetias. Et qui juste Damnatus est propter blasphemiam, cujus tamen Damnatio ipsa pars erat Sancti Propositi Dei.

Credo nos sic Damnatos agentes esse Voluntatis Dei, lectos ad Amplexum recipiendum qui temptaremus fideles et revelaremus quid in quoque eorum sit divinum.

Credo me damnatum ad Infernum esse propter peccata mea, qui tamen institutum meum capiam in Sancto Proposito Dei.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of Heaven and Earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary to redeem Man from Sin through his death and resurrection.

I believe that Longinus, by piercing the Savior’s side as he hung from the Cross, did reveal the divinity of Christ through fulfillment of the prophecies and that, while Longinus was rightly Damned for his blasphemy, his damnation was itself part of God’s Holy Plan.

I believe that those so Damned are the agents of God’s will, chosen to receive the Embrace that we may test the faithful and reveal the divinity within each of them.

I believe that for my sins I am damned to Hell and yet through damnation I may find my purpose in God’s Holy Plan.

Appearance

Saul is about 182cm tall, or about 6ft. He weighs a stocky 92kg with a toned body. He has short, light brown hair that reaches just down to his ears with pale, light green eyes. He looks to be in his early 30’s. He has a permanent 5 O’clock shadow.

Saul dresses modestly, though on occasion will dress lavishly in recent fashions and designer outfits when he wants to be noticed. Around his neck is a cross, symbolizing his Christian faith. He is always found carrying around his personal copy of the Testament of Longinus.

Personality

Being a Toreador, Saul has a penchant for the arts. He has a keen interest in paintings, usually of religious figures. Saul loves art. His Haven is full of assorted artwork and paintings he has managed to collect over the years. Some from gifts, some purchased, and some he has even painted himself. He considers himself a connoisseur of such things, and has an unhealthy obsession with portraits. Interestingly, Saul also seems to have a fascination with cats. This is most prevalent with his retainer, LaCroix. LaCroix is a white, male Persian cat. Saul received him as a gift several years back, and is named after an interesting character Saul met once during his travels. He is fiercely protective of this cat; some might say even obsessive.

Saul never quite knows when to stop talking. He loves talking, performing and acting. He's blessed (or cursed) with a silver-tongue, no matter what he might say, he finds people tend to agree with him. This has led to him developing a loud, some would say obnoxious personality.

Saul is very confident; some may be put off by this. Saul has never been very physically strong, preferring to solve his conflicts with words instead of weapons.

Saul is extremely pious, often referencing phrases from the Testament of Longinus and is adamant that all Kindred should share his beliefs and follow what is outlined in the book. He dislikes those that mock or question his faith and despises those he sees as heathens and/or heretics.

Mortal World

Saul Rodrigues was loud, confident and charming, though respectful. Enjoying the attention he would receive, Saul was prone to visiting many clubs throughout his mortal years. An exotic creature, he would've greatly enjoyed attention from both men and women alike, and was fond of going to clubs and bars in order to find someone new. Dressed lavishly, he would've openly boasted about his heritage and culture and his love for the arts, offering to paint portraits of people and demonstrate his many talents in performance and dance.
