# Donovan "Blackheart" Briar
### Overview
Blackheart is a merciless killer for the Sabbat. He was given the monicker for both his ruthlessness and mastery of Obtenebration. He is called in to eliminate the Sabbat's enemies, nothing more. He does not play politics. He is not in this for financial gain. In fact, Blackheart looks down upon the Assamites and their condition of payment. Blackheart is a Sabbat loyalist bordering on fanatic, who has only one mission, one need: kill the enemies of the Sabbat to secure power then move on.

Donovan was born around the turn of the 19th century in New Orleans. His family grew up poor on the streets of the city. And Donovan thought they were being denied their fair share. With his size and strength developing at an early age, Donovan quickly developed skills in strong armed robbery often targeting the children of wealthy families. As he grew up Donovan branched out into cat burglary, mugging, and occasionally brute squad and body guard work.
With an established reputation for nefarious work and brutal bar fights, Donovan was approached one day in a tavern by a young Jean Lafitte to join his crew. Donovan had never been on a boat, but given his growing reputation and fewer places to hide out in, Donovan felt the proposition had merit. For 10 years Donovan sailed and plundered with Lafitte. He was one of the most feared members of the crew, showing to be ruthless in his techniques of disposing of enemy sailors.
Donovan's life forever changed after the battle at Omas, Honduras. Many assumed Lafitte perished in the skirmish, but in fact Donovan proved to be his captain's salvation. It was then that Donovan discovered why his captain kept to his quarters during the day. Donovan was embraced into the realm of kindred, and together they retreated back to the states to Miami.
It was in Miami that Donovan was introduced to the Sabbat. Being Lasombra they were readily welcomed and though Lafitte was grateful, he had other ambitions for unlife and left Miami after arranging for most of his hidden fortune to be retrieved. Donovan meanwhile learned from many of the clans and was instrumental in helping keep Miami Sabbat. Over the decades Donovan proved brutal in his methods, unfeeling in mercy and quite adapt with Obtenebration earning him the moniker "Blackheart". Any covert Camarilla, Anarchs, or other enemies of the Sabbat met a swift and vicious end at the hands of this assassin.
Due to his success at delivering Final Death to the enemies of the Sabbat he caught the attention of the Black Hand. It was under their direction that Donovan was sent to numerous cities to dispose of obstacles where needed for the Sabbat. Now the latest word from on high is Baltimore is in need of select individuals to be removed and have the city join the surrounding area under Sabbat control. Donovan has arrived to ensure that happens.
