Trian Kelly (1421)

Trian Kelly
8th Generation Toreador Vampire

You are the Patriarch of the Kelly Clan in this area. Even though locals look up to you for your wisdom and your wealth, they hate you for the same reasons.

In 1345, trading in Western Scotland, an elderly man with a noticeable French accent approached you and begged help. You went to his farm where he told you your life story, and knew the names of all your family members. Over the course of a few days, he told you of his journeys to the Eastern Roman Empire and how the King of France and Pope Clement had betrayed him. He produced the blue and white uniform of a Templar and a small golden vessel that he insisted that you take. He then revealed his last secret. Some Templars were Vampires, and the Pope disbanded the group after being framed for heresies. As you sat in disbelief, he moved closer…

You don’t remember much after that but when you came around you found that you were under his command. He forced you to drain all his blood to take his strength and free him from the Curse of Caine. You didn’t realize that Vampires considered this taboo. Now, you have the legacy of protecting the vessel from the English and the Pope. It is an important artifact (NOT the Holy Grail) with unknown powers.

After years of hiding from the sun, you had no choice but to reveal what had happened to your two sons, Áed and Ailill. You embraced them so that together you could keep the Templar’s secret. In all your secrecy you forgot they were married to mortals. Your sons embraced their wives and now educate poor children as payment for not blessing them with children of their own. Some people are angry that no one in your family was affected by the Plague of 1348 but they are happy that your family was the only one who had warriors to keep the English at bay.

You deal with undead issues of the area and make provide some structure for the Vampires. Ailill deals with the political issues and acts the clan spokesman. You are all expected to attend a dance/joust this weekend. With a plague striking Dublin and a Famine in Ireland proper, a deal will probably be in the works between the English and Irish. Unless you want the children to continue starving, you need to make sure that those talks go off without a hitch.

You have heard rumors that Fergus O’Sullivan has been raiding the food stores in Dublin every 3 days or so, and that he is expecting some Welsh “friends” this weekend at the social. You know full well that they aren’t coming just to have a good time. It could be vital to make sure that they stay calm, out of the way, and shut up.

You have noticed that Áed has been restless. Perhaps you should have given him more responsibility when you embraced your sons, too bad he was the younger one. He’s going to occupy himself with the joust this weekend, and you hope he doesn’t kill anyone!

What is this?
