Lawrence Graves Used his mastery of water to quietly help the city throughout its boom of shipbuilding, helping to move the tides, keep the harbors safe, calm, and prepared for the kine to create the industry needed to defeat kaisers, fascists, and all other sorts of bad mamma jammas. Lawrence has risen through the years in the Chantry, gaining access to keeping the library within the city. His knowledge of wards, and the strength of the guardians of the fort kept the Tremere Stronghold hidden but standing through the years of the Sabbat incusions. Keeping the lowest profile around them, Graves kept them safe, fed any information to the pyramid up the ladder, and sang some songs of success when the sword of Caine was ran hard from town. Since then, Lawrence Graves has focused on building inroads with other kindred. He does not go out looking for a fight, and tries to run away when possible. He has learned to fly because of it. He is ready for shit to go down, and ready to get outta dodge if it gets too sketchy.
