Duality
Koldun and Cult Leader
Background
Poland in the early 20th century was not a good place for a woman feeling herself trapped in a man’s body. Being gay was not accepted and it was taboo to question your own gender. As such, life was hard for young Sebastian, the son of a renowned surgeon.
Driven mentally to the edge of insanity and physically to acts of great perversion, Sebastian found himself as an acolyte in one of the occult societies of Krakow. Here, he chanted nightly to dark spirits and forbidden gods and he gave blood offerings and drank the foul blood that was given in return.
Surprisingly, the High Magus decided that Sebastian was worthy of enlightenment and Embraced him. Thus, Duality was born. No longer torn between its male and female side, Duality turned out to be an exceptionally quick study, soon surpassing its sire in the arts of fleshcrafting and the occult.
Arkedi decided to send Duality to Mexico City, to learn at the feet of some of the greatest koldun in the Sabbat. Once there, Duality learned not only Koldunic Sorcery, but also the lore of its clan. After years of study, it formed the Cult of the Revelation with a small number of other Tzimisce.
When Duality learned of Percival and his search for occult lore in Teotihuacán, it managed to have itself assigned as Percival’s templar, hoping to exploit whatever discoveries Percival made for its own plans.
Character Description
Duality has used its Vicissitude to reshape itself. Its left side looks like a stunningly beautiful woman with long, blonde hair and a blue eye, its right like an extremely handsome man with short, dark hair and a green eye. Its clothing tends to be as gender-neutral as possible. When out among mortals, Duality usually lets one of its sides take over, though it has been known to simply wear a hat and upturned collar.
Roleplaying Hints
You are a divided being. You are both male and female, you are both a modern warrior of the Sabbat and a master of ancient sorcery. You are both a devoted bodyguard and a traitor. You are deeply religious, believing fully in the ascension of your clan when the Eldest arises. You scoff at the notion of the Curse of God — you are not cursed, you are blessed and you will bring about Transcendence THE RED SIGN 100 through Gehenna, no matter who you must defy in the process. Of course, you cannot allow yourself to reveal your plans, so you play your role as Percival’s supporter as well as possible.
