Appearance
Apart from his clawed hands The Red Priest's robes entirely obscure his face and body.
Personality
The Red Priest has eschewed his mortal identity or indeed any personal identity beyond that of his role as a priest. He says this is a part of a divestment of desire and the need to prevent ego from interfering with his work. Consequently nobody knows him by any official name other than "The Red Priest".
He is exceedingly patient, but when he commits to act he is resolute - which can be politically problematic since he's an idealist. He's also fond of cryptic advice.
Mortal World
The Red Priest is basically unknown to mortal society, and uses basic Obfuscate to be able to freely walk the night ignored by most humans.
Information Known by Kindred Society
The Red Priest is an ancilla with a mendicant persuasion, so he is a reliable reference point for neonates of both his clan and covenant.
Timeline
- 1876 - Born in the Henan province to a peasant family
- 18?? - Trained in a Buddhist temple
- 1900 - Embraced during the Boxer Rebellion amid fears of needing to reinforce the Lancea et Sanctum presence in China

Known Sire
The Red Priest generally doesn't talk about himself much and has a pretty terrible grasp of historical dates, but it's known that his sire was an English Nosferatu Lancea et Sanctum missionary operating in China during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Quotes
Quotes By
Form does not differ from the Void,
And the Void does not differ from form.
Form is void and void is form;
The same is true for feelings, perceptions, volitions and consciousness.
Because there is nothing to be attained,
The Bodhisattva has no obstruction in his mind.
Because there is no obstruction he has no fear,
And he passes far beyond confused imagination
And reaches Ultimate Golconda.

Rumours
- The Red Priest is multiple people. I mean how would you tell, right?
- Maybe he uses the robes to be able to pretend to be more than one person. Seen any suspicious Nosferatu around lately?
- How is he an ancilla with such a weak Beast?
