Name: Mordecai Di FirenzeAge: 35
Occupation: Scribe / Forger
Special Abilities/Skills: Language, Calligraphy, Stealth
Nationality/Ethnicity: unknown but raised in Florentine
Homeland: Florence, Italy
Religion: Catholic
Brief Physical Description: Pale skin, long dark hair, angular features, medium build.
Brief History: Raised by monks in a church at Santa Croce, he works as a scribe, translating books from one language to another and penning official documents for heads of church and state. Being privy to information and documents, he is not averse to securing and altering said documents in exchange for gold. There are no loyalties when the price is right. His forgeries are so remarkable that he could make you a lord or a pauper just with ink and parchment. He moves amongst the most opulent of circles, the rich and the powerful, the noble and corrupt, yet manages not to draw undue attention to himself. A keeper of secrets and lies, he is secure in that fact that he is needed and the secrets he keeps are feared.
When I first read the profile, I felt that this was the most challenging character to make a story for. Social characters scare me. The brief history denotes no small amount of intrigue. Which, I assumed, is what the player wants. Keeping track of the deals, relationships and agendas in the world of Vampire is daunting, to say the least. Simply because there are just too many.
Although the books give you a preview into their motivations and state of mind, as a ST, I want to able to stick to canon and not have the NPCs too far away from what the future books describe them to be. Still, Karl was more than helpful providing details for Mordecai. I appreciated that a lot.
