Personal Information

Appearance

Appearing to be a man in his 20s, Fabian is tall, and lithe. His posture is upright. Everything from Fabian's expressions to his walk express a great deal of confidence in himself. His features are chiselled smooth but very defined. He has deep, expressive green eyes, and short, well kept blonde hair. Fabian's attire is always formal, and always well kept, If you see anything else you've caught him at a particularly bad time. Fabian is rarely, if ever, seen without a sword at his belt.

Personality

'Confident', 'opinionated' and 'passionate' are all words that one could use to describe Lord Bainbridge, and they would be perfectly correct in any of those assumptions. Fabian is very sure of himself, and he knows what he believes. He throws himself into everything he experiences almost desperate to enjoy it to its fullest, to get the most out of every situation put before him. This quality may often land Fabian in trouble but he insists that this is also the spice of his unlife. Why spend centuries sitting back, doing nothing and allowing opportunities to pass you by? Fabian is also a Kindred of duality. On one hand, he is often seen to be politically, or even literally, cut-throat in his methods, willing to do whatever it takes to further his agendas, on the other, Fabian is not unkind. When he befriends someone, or makes an ally, he will do what he can to act in that individual's best interests. Fabian is often very polite and respectful, but sometimes his own arrogance and rudeness can shine through.

Mortal World

Fabian's connections to the mortal world are varied, but mostly they flow through a single stream. Bainbridge Enterprises. Since the 1980s, Fabian has owned a Public Relations, and advertising firm. This Firm has represented many major companies within Australia in order to attract business, and promote the images of those companies. Bainbridge Enterprises is also often responsible for the promotion of major events across Australia. Recently, Fabian has purchased land and began construction on a new business prospect, a plan to open a zoological garden in Armidale. This is perhaps the start of Lord Bainbridge' expansion into the tourism industry.

2015

Fabian's 2015 has been a productive year. Since arriving in Armidale, he has held the offices of Prince's Harpy, and now Seneschal. How he came to hold the second office is questionable at best however. Fabian sided with Tempest in a briefly successful coup against Archived-Bertrand Hills and was named her Seneschal as a reward for his assistance. when Tempest was kidnapped shortly later, Fabian retained the position under the returning Prince Archived-Esteban Cortes Recently, Fabian was told to punish Archived-Matthias for his breach of the Masquerade, and destruction of other Kindreds' property. Fabian has Matthias' limbs cut off with a heavy axe, and seared to prevent them healing, He then slices open the other Kindred's stomach, and hangs him from a cross beam of Archived-Ambrose Grimm's barn.

Shortly later when Archived-Esteban Cortes entered Torpor, Fabian claimed Praxis in Armidale, amid the disappearance of one Micheal Azeroth. Since then, Prince Bainbridge has ruled the city in the fairest amd most even-handed way he can manage, taking council from those with wildly varying beliefs, keeping both friends and enemies close through this method.

2016

Fabian, still Prince of Armidale spends the eaarly part of the year in travel, visiting Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane. He is reunited with Archived-Lorenzo Penthièvre during his travels. He is seen to be staring intently at his sire alongside Roxanne Eupraxus Lorraine at the gathering in Adelaide. A few months later, Fabian received Lorenzo into his haven, where the two stayed together. During March, Fabian lead an effort to deal with Archived-Victoria Low's sire. He had expected the event to end in bloodshed and carefully arranged for it to be in a remote area far from the city or from any Elysium. Lorenzo prevented violence entirely, and Fabian, following his sire's cues offered the criminal amnesty in exchange for his cooperation and assurance that he would follow the traditions. Also during this month, Fabian begins to wear an expensive engagement ring.
