Name: Lothaire Loyonia
Age: Actual 67. Appears late 20’s/Early 30’s.
Species: Kindred
Clan: Baali
Generation: 8th Generation
Personality: Lothaire is a calm, composed individual, who rarely raises his voice, and carries himself with an air of cool sophistication. Whilst he is no stranger to violence, Lothaire does not engage in needless sadism, and outwardly appears to be a reasonably cordial individual, with the exception of extremely tense situations.
The vampire’s gracious demeanor hides a merciless and calculating killer, who will stop and nothing to further his understand of forbidden occult secrets. In a manner more typical of a Tzimisce than most Baali, Lothaire prides himself on his eloquence, and takes great personal offence at displays of impoliteness.
Lothaire views both Kindred and Kine as his own personal playthings, and enjoys studying the intricacies of their respective societies. The vampire delights in his own analysis of the world around him, and fascinated by that which brings both pleasure and pain to those who cross his path.
Biography: Lothaire was born in the tiny village of Yerimiheh, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. A small and impoverished community, the people of Yerimiheh lived in an underdeveloped and ill-supplied village, rampant with poverty.
Lothaire himself lived a childhood that was fairly unremarkable for a young man hailing from Yerimiheh, struggling with famine and illiteracy.
When Lothaire reached young adulthood, a man calling himself “Zavala” came to Yerimiheh, who styled himself as a prophet of the Aztec gods; bringing with him a cohort of zealous followers. Zavala had little trouble swaying the natives of Yerimiheh into joining his dark cult, and those who refused him soon found themselves sacrificed in the gruesome rituals that Zavala and his followers performed in the caves outside of Yerimiheh.
Zavala’s cult quickly assumed full control of Yerimiheh, and began using the townspeople as lab rats in their dark experiments. When Lothaire’s little sister was whisked away in the night to be used in one such experiment, the young man brazenly confronted Zavala in a display of defiance that had otherwise gone unseen.
Zavala found Lothaire’s rebellion amusing, and had his followers drag the young man into the caves outside of Yerimiheh, to take part in what he described as a “very special ritual”. Lothaire was brought before a pit of rotting corpses, including that of his sister, before Zavala revealed his true monstrous nature to his hapless prey, and drained him of all but the faintest speck of life. Lothaire was then cast into the pit, near death, and buried beneath a mound of necrotic flesh.
Believing these to be his final moments, Lothaire used the last of his strength to rummage through the pit of corpses in search of his sisters, but when he happened upon the young girl’s body, Lothaire felt something dark and primal calling to him from within her. Clawing through the remains of his sister, Lothaire drank the portion of Zavala’s vampiric blood that the dark one had hidden inside her, and found himself reborn as a member of clan Baali.
Zavala greeted Lothaire with open arms, taking him under his wing as his newest childe, and spent the next few decades teaching him the ways of the occult, as well as affording him the education that he had missed during his childhood.
Lothaire fed off of Zavala’s knowledge, but never forgave him for what he had done to Yerimiheh. Although the vampire became increasingly inhuman as the years went by, he secretly vowed revenge against his sire, and Zavala was far too arrogant to suspect him. Once he was certain that he was starting to surpass Zavala's own dark knowledge, Lothaire trapped his sire, and his followers, in the caves outside of Yerimiheh; lighting a fire which was spread to consume them, and the rest of the village.
After that fateful night, Lothaire began traveling the world in search of greater knowledge of the occult; expanding his understanding of hellish magics, and furthering his own dark plans.
