Adonis Navarro Flores [DEAD] Overview Overview Adonis Navarro Flores is a somewhat famous and eccentric high-fashion shoe designer living and working in Baltimore. Having a 'rare skin condition', Adonis avoids the sun and has adopted a nocturnal lifestyle, at least that is the story his publicist uses to explain why the Toreador is never seen during the day.But all of this is a lie. Oh, there was an Adonis Navarro Flores, he was a bit player in the Camarilla incursion. That is until he met a Tzimisce named Merek desperate to survive. He was consumed: body, mind and soul. Now Adonis is a mask worn by a monster. But he lives on, haunting Merek, whispering in his mind, slowly driving the monster mad.

History History Merek Kratochvil was born at the turn of the 20th century, the son of Czech immigrants from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.An exceptionally intelligence child, his father drove him towards academic excellence at an early age.While he excelled in school, Merek did not do so well socially. He was shy, lacking in confidence and some would say socially inept. He was often subject to bullying.Merek was accepted to John Hopkins University, the countries most prestigious private research universities at the time. He graduated at the top of his class, and continued post-graduate studies while beginning his residency to become a physician.Merek enjoyed a successful medical career until the age of thirty-eight when he was embroiled in controversy over some rather disturbing.. research he had been performing. He was ruined, losing the respect of his peers, his fortune, and even a wife. The former doctor almost took his own life when he was approached by a strange gentleman - Ján Bogdanić - who offered him a way out: a new life, a new beginning. With little else to lose, Merek agreed... Ján was a Tzimisce from a small village not too far from where Merek's parents came from. The scandal that had ruined Merek drew him to the once prestigious doctor, whose skill was acclaimed.. until his fall from grace.Ján not only embraced Merek that night, but he kept his promise of a new life... and gave Merek a new face in the process. Merek Jánić was born. Undeath not only gave Merek a second chance, it emboldened him and his research, something which his Sire supported fully.When the Camarila came to Baltimore, Merek had been a vampire for sixty-two years. He had been released from his Sire for over two decades by this point. His work consumed him and it is for this reason that he was caught unawares of the changing political landscape. Before he knew it, he found himself trapped, surrounded by the enemy. Merek attempted to escape with a small pack of fellow Tzimisce, but they were set-upon by a group of Camarilla. All but two of the Tzimisce survived, along with a pair of Toreador who they took captive. In the basement of an old medical clinic, Merek and his compatriot concocted an experiment of vicissitude, auspex, koldunic sorcery and diablerie. They each consumed one of the Toreador: mind, body and soul. Not just drinking their heart blood, but devouring their minds and subsuming every speck of their bodily material. The result was outwardly successful, they each took on not only the body of their victim, but they remembered their memories, and could mimic their affectations perfectly. Spiritually they were successful as well, no taint of what they had down could be perceived through auspex.But the experiment was not without cost. Merek found that he could not remember everything that he had known before, including exactly how they had performed the experiment. Nor could he remember what he or his colleague had looked like. He also began hearing a voice, his own voice or rather the voice of Adonis - the Toreador he had consumed - a voice which talked to him, a voice that tortured him.When Merek returned to his haven, he discovered it had been burned to the ground. Everything he had worked for, all his research notes, his journals, his library... everything was gone. Every trace of Merek Jánić had been erased. He was now Adonis Navarro Flores.Adonis had been something of a prodigy himself, only instead of medicine, Adonis had a gift for fashion, specifically designer shoes. He had been embraced sometime in his early twenties when he had already made his first million dollars selling limited-edition sneakers that everybody who was anybody wanted to buy. He had come to Baltimore from New York with the Camarilla incursion and he has remained every since... or at least, that is what everyone thinks. Adonis lives and works out of his luxurious eccentric home in Riverside, in the heart of Baltimore.
