Geoffrey Leigh (Camarilla Archon)
Background
Born in the 11 th-century Byzantine Empire, Geoffrey Leigh (then named Justinian) was a frontier noble and warrior who fought the Seljuk Turks. In one nocturnal battle, Leigh‘s garrison was killed, save for himself. Resigned to his imminent death, he fought on viciously and killed a score of Turks. His prowess attracted the attention of the Turkish leader, a powerful vampire warrior.
The Cainite singled Justinianout and let the mortal lash out at him. When the Gangrel decided that Justinian was worthy, he Embraced the human and left him to fend for himself. Justinian survived and changed his name when the Byzantine Empire fell. He wandered Europe and Asia, where he eventually met Violetta and assumed his current position as Archon.
Character Description
Leigh is an extremely large and imposing man in his mid-20s, with a bristling mustache and long, wavy brown hair. His is swarthy in contrast to most of London’s Kindred. He usually wears well-made, but weathered, traveling clothes; he looks slightly uncomfortable in noble finery. Geoffrey has a hawkish expression and it shows the signs of his feral blood. Fine black hair sprouts from the tips of his pointed ears and his good-humored grin reveals Lupine fangs. He goes shirtless in the wild; black wiry hair covers most of his muscular frame. He walks with an imperious stride. Despite Leigh‘s fearsome demeanor, he is a convivial, and even jovial, person. He has a booming laugh and appears to enjoy his unlife to the fullest.
