History
Simon Ward was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. He had something of a rambunctious childhood that turned into a life a crime, drugs and partying by the time he was an adult. In the late sixities/early seventies, a wave of Haitian immigrants arrived in the city and with them came the Followers of Set. Simon fell in with a group of these Haitians and it is through them that he met Atiq Farad. Atiq was not a native of Haiti, but he had been travelling with the Followers of Set as they spread out from the island to Montreal. Within a year Simon had been fully corrupted by Atiq and embraced.
As the Setite blood cults proliferated without control, it was inevitable that the Sabbat who controlled the city would take action. Montreal became increasingly dangerous with 'snake-hunts' rooting out the Setites. It was during this time that Atiq was either torpored or succumbed to final death - Simon remains uncertain - but the young fledgling was forced to flee the city. He fled to Baltimore, where he had learned that his grandsire resided. But when he arrived he discovered he was in a state of torpor.
Simon settled in the northeastern outskirts of the city where he found a local temple. He built up his resources, and a cult of his own until opportunity came to Baltimore. When the Camarilla started their assault on Baltimore, Simon was finally able to awaken his grandsire. He took advantage of the situation, helping both sides of the conflict at first, but mostly he provided aid to the Camarilla.
The Setites were able to establish a small domain in the heart of the city itself, and it is in this patch of territory that Simon was able to acquire and setup a temple of his own, within the Scandal nightclub. He has since built a reputation for being able to get people what they want be they mortal or Kindred... if they are willing to pay his price.
