Mbogo Biashara
Gangrel · Gen 6
Mbogo enjoyed a long and prosperous career as a leader in the African resistance. He grew up in the Kikuyu tribe, listening to Jomo Kenyatta's dreams of freedom. His Embrace came in 1919 following the British "Soldier Settlement Scheme" which gave estates in the Kenyan highlands to veterans of World War I. An ancient and powerful Gangrel chose Mbogo for his clear-mindedness and his passionate defense of his homeland. After a year of intensive training with his sire (during which Mbogo became extremely powerful for a neonate), Mbogo founded the Kikuyu Central Association, a group dedicated to the cause of African freedom. Then in 1925, he led a mass emigration of the Kikuyu people from the savanna into the city of Nairobi. This caused an enormous social and economic revolution which could not be ignored. Mbogo enjoyed several years of success until 1928, when he decided he had become too prominent a figure. He faked his own death, and the leadership of the Kikuyu Central Association passed on to Jomo Kenyatta. Mbogo continued his work from behind the scenes, careful to let no one know he was alive. Finally, in 1961, just after Jomo Kenyatta accepted the presidency, Mbogo founded the Nyayo. He sired six other loyal Kikuyu over a period of 10 years. He remains their leader and the Kabaka of Mombasa. He would sacrifice anything or anyone, including his own pride, to see that Kenya remains a free country. Mbogo spends most of his time at Nyayo headquarters in a fortified warehouse on Mbu Yuni Road. He has a small area set aside where he sleeps behind a solid steel, double-locked door. Mbogo has other havens as well, although he keeps their locations secret from everyone.
Roleplaying
You are large and in charge. You welcome all who will accept your ways, but those who will not might as well move along. You will help them to do so if they seem reluctant. Your deep voice resounds when you speak and you know it; you like to use it to intimidate your enemies and your business associates alike. You realized early on that you had to play by the rules of the Europeans if your people were to regain control of their land. You have an easy command of proper English etiquette and you use it to your advantage. You are also proud of your ability to speak English with only a slight hint of accent.
