Biography
As a mortal
Romana Pendragon was born in 1683, the third child of a wealthy landowner in eastern England. Pendragon joined the British Army and fought in the campaigns of the War of Spanish Succession.
Her leadership qualities, combined with a ruthless persistence and a Machiavellian approach to politics, were rewarded often and well by her superiors. It was no secret that she was being groomed for a top seat in Parliament. However, her political dreams in the mortal world were never to materialize in the manner she had planned.
During a period of rest and relaxation in Switzerland, the young infantry captain met her sire. She was as beautiful as she was merciless, and it is very likely that Pendragon's ruthless nature attracted her. On August 12th, 1703, Pendragon was Embraced by Dark Selina, a wicked vampiress with worldly ambitions.
As a Cainite
It took Pendragon more than 60 years to mature to the point where Selina felt she could be introduced into Kindred society as a force to be reckoned with. Her scheming helped Pendragon climb the social and political ladder of Kindred society in Switzerland, but she was unhappy there and yearned to return to her native England. Selina, however, forbade her to leave. Although Romana was Blood Bound to her, she had not tasted her blood in years, and the control of the Bond faded. On the eve of Selina's bid for princedom in Zurich, Romana attacked and drank her into torpor and left to conquer her homeland. During the next century, Pendragon became the most prominent Brujah in England. However, her plans faltered when many of her Brujah supporters betrayed her out of fear of her ambitions. She was forced out of Britain in 1885 and fled back to Switzerland with her brood.
