Know Your Kindred – Owain Evans, The Wanderer

Name:  Owain Evans, The Wanderer

Clan:  Ventrue antitribu
Generation:  Maybe 6th
Embrace:  1053

Owain Evans has the power to heal others with his blood.  He obtained this ability after he drank the blood of Joseph of Arimathea centuries ago. But he did not understand the true nature of this power until 1999 when the Kindred world was in the grip of a mysterious blood curse.

This blood curse was striking at Kindred, creating an uncontrollable hunger that would never go away, no matter how much the vampire tried to quench their thirst, they would still feel starved.  Eventually the curse would trigger the Beast within them to rise up, until they were completely lost to it.

After discovering his power and understanding its origin, Owain became known as the Wanderer, and he traveled around the world seeking to cure any and all Cainites from the curse.

Owain is originally from a small Welsh kingdom called Rhufoniog.  After emerging from torpor in the 17th century, he came to America where he became a prominent, but unobtrusive member of Atlanta’s Kindred community.
