Ragnar the Jackal
Ragnar Black, known within Kindred society as Ragnar the Jackal, is a Gangrel of the Coyote bloodline and the current Justicar of Clan Gangrel, appointed in July 2052.
History[edit | edit source]
Ragnar the Jackal is a formidable Coyote Gangrel whose journey from the deserts of Saudi Arabia to the highest echelons of the Camarilla is both storied and remarkable. Born in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula, Ragnar embraced the nomadic and resilient spirit of the Bedouin tribes, traits that would come to define his vampiric existence.
Ragnar's early years as a Kindred were spent navigating the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the Sabbat, where he quickly rose through the ranks due to his unparalleled combat skills and strategic acumen. Despite his success, Ragnar grew disillusioned with the Sabbat's ruthless methods and dogmatic fanaticism. In a bold and dangerous move, he defected from the Sabbat, a decision that marked the beginning of his transformation into a champion of the Autarkis and a key figure in the struggle against the oppressive sect.
Over the past fifty years, Ragnar has led packs of Autarkis and defector Gangrel across Eurasia, forging alliances and rallying those who, like him, sought a different path. His reputation as a fierce warrior and cunning strategist earned him the moniker "the Jackal," reflecting his ability to survive and thrive in the most challenging of environments.
Ragnar's defection to the Camarilla marked a turning point in his career. His knowledge of the Sabbat’s inner workings, combined with his unwavering dedication to his newfound cause, quickly made him an invaluable asset. His leadership and strategic prowess were instrumental in numerous Camarilla victories against the Sabbat, further solidifying his reputation as a steadfast protector of Kindred society.
Justicar[edit | edit source]
In July 2052, following the death of Brujah Justicar Theo Bell, in recognition of his exceptional contributions and unwavering loyalty, the Inner Council appointed Ragnar the Jackal as the new Justicar of Clan Gangrel.
To all members of the Camarilla to whom these letters may come, GREETING:
After convening in an emergent session, and following the directive of the Inner Council, it is our duty and privilege to announce the appointment of a new Justicar. In light of recent events and the pressing need for strong, strategic leadership, the Inner Council has entrusted this critical role to Ragnar Madison Black, commonly known as "Ragnar the Jackal", of the Clan Gangrel, Pack Master of the Coyotes of Eurasia, many of whom follow him into the Camarilla.
In honor of this momentous appointment, His Grace Ragnar Black issues his first Command:
- Any Gangrel who wish to join the Camarilla may do so without serving the traditional one year probationary Greater status ban.
- Gangrel who are Autarkis who were members of the Sabbat within the last 10 years who join the Camarilla may do so without facing a Lesser Status ban.
- Finally, that all Gangrel of the Camarilla, being restored as a Pillar of the Ivory Tower, have their lesser status bans lifted.
Let it be known that Ragnar Black now assumes his duties as Justicar, and we call upon all members of the Camarilla to extend their support and cooperation to him.
The Ivory Tower stands strong, eternally.
Signed —
Their Graces
The Justicars of the Camarilla
