10 of 10 facts shown
Historically Apolitical
Under the reign of Lodin, Tamoszius survived in the pressure cooker of Chicago Kindred politics by observing a policy of strict neutrality in the games and schemes of others, while having no noticeable games or schemes of his own. This has served him well in the past but all things change. A part of him is now drawn to the Anarch fire, though he's aware of the purported "list of ten."
Unknown Patron
Nero firmly believes something, some outside supernatural force, woke him from torpor to bear witness and give voice to this dark new future of terror and uncertainty facing the Kindred. He has no idea who or what that force might be, and he is inexpertly seeking sources of legitimate occult knowledge.
Beyond the Clan
He has never particularly cared for the Toreador Primogen, Annabelle, or her brood of shallow sycophants, but also realistically assessed his own lack of political heft. Since his awakening, he has, however, made the acquaintance of Aluc Romas de Leon, whose social and political significance among the Kindred is on the rise. He believes Aluc would make an infinitely superior representative to the Primogen Council, and it's not unknown for a member of the Ministry to represent another clan in absence of its own Primogen.
Tamoszius regards his Primogen and her brood with the passive-aggressive antipathy of a political featherweight who possesses neither the social heft nor the actual interest in seizing power for himself. Annabelle is aware of this feeling and vaguely irritated by it, but not so much she feels the need to punish it…yet.
Unlike many sire-childe pairs, he and Kathy Glens, his only childe, enjoy a close and functional relationship. Kathy watched over him faithfully while he was in torpor and goes to considerable effort to reintegrate him into the local Kindred community now that he's awake again. • Natasha Pleskyte (Potential Mawla 3) He has not seen his sire, Natasha, in decades. More often of late, his thoughts turn to her, where she might be now, or if she even still walks the night.
