Archbishop Warin

Overview

 
Overview
 
archbishopprofile.png
The Archbiship of DC is a Nosferatu antitribu with a reputation for calm, measured leadership. He stands back, lets the packs decide their own methods, and only steps in when needed or requested. He is rarely seen outside the grounds of the Sabbat monastery, where he maintains a herd of fledgling vampires to feed from.

He is present for most of the Ritae performed at the monastery, though he may not always be seen. Though he is measured, his justice is swift and violent when it needs to be, usually involving the desiccation of the vampire's body and then burning them while the rest of those present use the burning body for the Fire Dance ritae.

History

 
History
 
The Archbishop of DC is one of the eldest Sabbat in the United States, having been Embraced not long after the Sabbat was first formed. Despite this, his history is somewhat a mystery to most, even members of the Sect lower than his status. Here are the basics:

- He originated in England just after the formation of the Sabbat in 1493. Whether he was embraced into the Sect, or later changed, is unknown. After Embrace, he existed in a few different places throughout Europe and survived the war with the Black Spiral Dancers.

- In 1720, he joined the exodus of Sabbat to the New World, where he was involved in several struggles between Sabbat and Camarilla. 

- In 1808, he was part of the Sabbat that successfully took over Washington DC. He then entered a period of Torpor.

- In 1814, the Camarilla reclaimed DC and the Sabbat were routed. The monastery came under their control, which they set as Elysium. but they did not know that he was concealed in one of the crypts.

- In 1898, Warin's latest childe returned with a large pack and awoke the torpored vampire. They murdered all the Camarilla in Elysium and retook the city, along with Baltimore and other nearby cities.

- In 1972, Warin is officially ordained as the Archbishop of Washington DC and has held the post ever since.
