Appearance[edit | edit source]
D is a figure of mystery and deathly elegance. Cloaked in shadows and moonlight, he moves with a supernatural grace that makes him seem more wraith than man. His wide-brimmed hat conceals much of his face, leaving only his pale skin and piercing, cold silver eyes visible—eyes that reflect the moon as if they themselves were crafted from it. His long black coat, worn and battle-scarred, flows with the wind like the tattered wings of a forgotten angel.
His weapon of choice is a long, pure silvered sword, a rare and dangerous weapon for a Kindred to wield. Though silver burns vampires, D has trained his body and mind to endure the pain, wielding it as an extension of his very being. It is both a symbol of his mastery and a reminder of his eternal battle against weakness.
Personality & Philosophy[edit | edit source]
D is unlike many of his Toreador kin. Where others lose themselves in indulgence, he finds beauty in discipline, in battle, in the cold steel of a well-forged blade. He believes that art and war are the same—each stroke of a brush or swing of a sword tells a story. While he understands the political games of the Camarilla, he prefers the honesty of combat over whispered lies and backroom deals.
He is calm, methodical, and unnervingly observant. He rarely speaks unless necessary, but when he does, his words are measured and cut as deeply as his sword. He respects strength, discipline, and those who dedicate themselves to a craft—whether it be war, art, or something in between.
Despite his cold exterior, he is not devoid of compassion. He fights not out of bloodlust, but out of duty—to uphold the structure of the Camarilla and to ensure that the weak do not fall prey to the strong without purpose. However, his loyalty to the Camarilla is not blind. He serves because he believes in order, not because he trusts its rulers.
Early Life[edit | edit source]
A Warrior's Birth (1974 - 1994)[edit | edit source]
Born in England on October 16, 1974, D was raised in a world of discipline. His father, a strict military man, trained him in combat from an early age, instilling in him a ruthless efficiency. However, D was not content with the brute force of modern warfare—he was drawn to the sword, to the elegance of battle refined over centuries. He studied fencing, kendo, European longsword techniques, and any form of swordsmanship he could learn.
This obsession with perfection caught the attention of Alexzander Rodgieise, the Toreador Primogen of England. Seeing beauty in D’s devotion to combat, Alexzander made a rare decision—he Embraced a warrior instead of an artist. On October 16, 1994, D’s mortal life ended, and his journey as a Kindred began.
Early Unlife[edit | edit source]
The Training of a Living Blade (1994 - 2051)[edit | edit source]
Unlike most Toreador, D did not indulge in the arts of music, painting, or poetry. His art was battle, and Alexzander nurtured it. He sent D across the world to train under the greatest swordsmen of every culture—from samurai in Japan to dueling masters in France, from Shaolin monks to the most ruthless mercenaries.
For over a century, D perfected his technique, hunting monsters, dueling Kindred, and pushing his undead body beyond its limits. In 2051, Alexzander declared his training complete, bestowing upon him a long, pure silvered sword—a weapon that symbolized his mastery, his pain, and his devotion.
Recent Unlife[edit | edit source]
The Founding of the Blades of the Camarilla (2053 - Present)[edit | edit source]
Having conquered the art of the sword, D sought a purpose beyond mere combat. He approached the Camarilla with a proposition—to establish an order of warriors dedicated to enforcing the will of the Camarilla and protecting it from both internal and external threats.
His request was granted, and in 2053, he traveled to Caliburn Island, a strategic but unstable location where the Camarilla’s grip was tenuous. There, he founded The Blades of the Camarilla—an elite order of Kindred warriors sworn to discipline, duty, and the perfection of battle.
Now, D stands as the silent guardian of Caliburn Island, watching over his warriors and ensuring that the balance of power remains unbroken.
The Blades of the Camarilla[edit | edit source]
The Blades of the Camarilla are an elite group of Kindred warriors trained in both swordsmanship and strategy. Unlike the brute enforcers of the Camarilla, the Blades operate with precision and honor, engaging in missions that require subtlety and lethal skill. Their motto:
"The sword does not lie. Only the unworthy fear its judgment."
Each member undergoes grueling trials under D’s watchful eye, ensuring only those worthy of the blade earn a place in the order.
Quotes & Questions D Might Ask[edit | edit source]
- "A sword is honest. Unlike men, it does not pretend to be something it is not."
- "Would you rather rule through fear or through respect? Choose wisely, for one breeds enemies and the other demands strength."
- "The first lesson of the sword: Every movement must have purpose. Waste nothing. Hesitate for no one."
- "Do not mistake silence for weakness. The deadliest blade does not boast—it simply cuts."
- "You ask if I am a monster. I ask you—what would you have me be?"
Fighting Style & Abilities[edit | edit source]

Will you stand beside him?
