Sean ConnorBackgroundSean came over from Ireland with the navvies who built the canals and railroads. When the navvies moved on, Sean stayed in the fief. It is generally believed in the fief that he comes from Connachta and left after some sort of trouble. He is tough, outspoken and colourful in dress and language. In fact, Sean was forced to flee Ireland after clashing with the Elders of the fief of Connachta over the poverty and living conditions of the peasants in the fief. He was tricked into supporting an uprising amongst the mortals and younger Kindred which proved to have been instigated by Ulster. Although it was Sean himself who revealed the plot to the leaders of Connachta after discovering he had been duped, it could not save him from the wrath of the Elders. After fighting for a brief while to try and clear his name, he finally fled the fief after his co-conspirators had been caught and suffered Final Death. The memories of the Kindred of Connachta are long and it would be unwise for him to try and return there, even after two hundred years. Although Sean dislikes the prestige games of Vampire society, he has his own code of honour which he will defend to the last. He is fiercely loyal to those he considers friends being ready to risk his unlife for them without a seconds thought. He is passionate and quick to defend the underdog, traits which often lead to him being mistaken for a Brujah. Because he dislikes politics, Sean never misses an opportunity to display his feelings for those who think that age and bloodline alone make them worthy of respect. Although he has been in trouble with the Council on many occasions, his basic decency and his undoubted loyalty to Thorolf have always protected him. Sean deeply dislikes the game playing of Kindred society. He will often go out of his way to break the rules, even if it will harm him, because he loves the confusion it causes. However, since he is never spiteful and doesn't pick on those weaker than himself he usually gets away with it, even gaining prestige himself! His rather Anarch views are tolerated by the other Elders because he shows no real yearning to put them into practise. In fief politics, Sean generally sides with Thorolf. He appreciates the freedom which the treaty with the Garou has won for the Gangrel of the York. It would seem that he would be a natural ally of the Garou in the fief. However, he personally dislikes werewolves. Soon after he came to the fief, his neonate was killed by Garou in the war over the Huddersfield canal. Sean is probably the nearest thing the fief had to a true Anarch before Niccolo arrived. In fact, he knows about Nick and is keeping an eye out for him from a distance, although he has guessed that Nick wouldn't appreciate direct contact with an Elder. ClanGangrel, 8th generation, age "32", born 1741, embraced 1773, by ???, arrived 1805ImageSean looks a little like Sharpe of TV fame, but with a soft Irish accent. He has darker skin and looks more like a gypsy than anything else.Sean wears modern clothes. They are always hardy and well worn in being mostly denim and leather. When least expected Sean will appear in a well cut and very smart suit, just to prove to the damned Toreador that they don't have a monopoly on style. InfluenceJunior Council member.Secrets-HabitatSean likes to travel around the fief so doesn't have a permenant Haven. He prefers to avoid the Garou whenever possible so his new role on the Council is causing him some stress. He prefers to feed on the well to do or those who prey on others - he is responsible for many cases of anaemia amongst loan-sharks and slum landlords.Ultimate GoalGet rid of the status system in Kindred society. Free the poor and oppressed masses from the tyranny of their masters.Immediate GoalUse his new position on the Council to keep a check on their powers. Prevent a new Prince from being appointed.ResourcesAs a new juniour council member, Sean's standing has jumped slightly. Since the Sabbat invasion he has assumed charge of the day to day supervision of the fief's physical defences, giving him access to ghouls, weapons and transport. |
