Gaspar Acosta Da Blanca
Personal Information
Gaspar is a Kindred of dual natures. He is Lordly and commanding when needed but in equal parts primal and savage. He is just as at home amongst the kine as he is amongst the creatures of the forest. Gaspar has been a stalwart member of Clan Ventrue since his embrace and a stalwart member of the Circle of the Crone since it violently exploded onto the scene in the 1800's.
Appearance
Gaspar stands at just north of six feet tall, has long, straight black hair and is quite muscular. His eyes brown, almost black and his skin fair. He is obviously of Spanish descent. He is seen often to be covered in either Norse or Aztec style warpaint.
Personality
Gaspar is a little more open then his other elders. While largely oblivious to the modern world. He will still crack a joke, though often one no one else really gets. But he seems to enjoy himself. Other than that he is lordly and commanding, even when covered in blood and war paint, as he sometimes is.
Mortal World
There is a small town to the east of Toowoomba that is primarily made up of a doomsday cult that believes Ragnarok is coming and they must prepare. To these people, Gaspar is a descendent of the gods sent to guide them through Ragnarok. He has no other mortal affiliations
