Know Your Kindred – Black Wallace

Name:  Black Wallace
Clan:  Lasombra
Generation:  8th
Embraced:  1659

Wallace was the spoiled son of a wealthy British noble.   He gained a seat in the House of Lords and got involved in Oliver Cromwell’s crusade against the Anglican Church, where he showed off his savage and sadistic side, leading terror mobs in acts of violence.

It was while Wallace was living in Spain after the Thirty Years War that he was taken by a Lasombra and Embraced.   Wallace relished the power his vampiric form gave him and opportunities the Sabbat presented to him.

At first his low standing in the clan was a big concern for Wallace, but he soon learned that he could gain power quickly by revealing trechery within the sect rather than by fighting the Camarilla.

After successfully getting a Gangrel antitribu to confess to treason, Wallace’s status rose and in 1780 he became a Sabbat Inquisitor, where he is known for being the most impassioned and feared of his kind.  Even his fellow Inquisitors hesitate to challenge his authority.

Wallace has brown eyes and jet black hair.  He instructs his ghouls to trim his beard and mustache to match his favorite portrait.  His teeth are quite bad by 20th-century standards, so when he extends his fangs they come out a bit askew
