History

Bertrand has history in Armidale with a long period of absence.

1870-1910: Newly embraced in Armidale, kept a low profile, silently watched and learned from other Kindred, not active in court except when called.

1911-1923: Known in the Kindred community as 'Bloody Bert', who would commit acts of horrific violence on behalf of others for minor boons.

1939: Falls out of favour with the court over suspected but unproven links to violent masquerade breaches. He is told to leave Armidale before the investigation finishes and does as directed.

1940-1952: Is believed to have been inhabiting the wilderness in the Hunter Valley region, preying on humans and animals alike.

1952-1980: In torpor.

1980-1999: In seclusion from other Kindred, claims to have learned to restrain his beast through a combination of meditation and vigorous physical martial-arts training during this period.

2000-2008: Kindred of no fixed abode, surviving on the fringes of society and narrowly avoiding final death by the strange creatures that inhabit the world. This period ends when animal blood will no longer sustain Bertrand, but he is unwilling to enter torpor again.

2008-2013: Returned to the Armidale region claiming to be a remade man. Apparently very different mindset and demeanor than before, only betraying his past when forced to anger. Became involved in Invictus politicking and rose to Gangrel Priscus though natural leadership and application of superior force.

OOC info

Bertrand has a well kept haven, but never sleeps there, instead preferring natural dirt to meld with. His retainers keep his haven well cleaned and ready for use and 'lived-in', should the need arise.
