Nicholas Burke (1421)

Nicholas Burke
10th Generation Venture
Childe of Reginald Burke

About 40 years ago, when Dublin was controlled by the venture your great-great uncle decided that you would make a great devotee of his. He embraced you after a grand party. Since then, you have been his loyal followers.

20 years ago, Sarra Brennan, a Tremere slew the ‘prince’ of the city. For the last 20 years, you have had to keep quite and lay low. But to your eternal delight times are a changing. A plague has struck the peasants of Dublin, causing massive death tolls. While at the same time a famine has struck the Irish in the countryside. There is a jousting tournament being held by Cormac O’Reilly, (leader of the Irish Clans), Gauwyn Moyglare (the supposed Lord of Dublin). You know Gauwyn is really the ghoul of a Cappadocian vampire by the name of Guy Le Blanc.

Now, you finally have a good chance to prove yourself. Just win the jousting tournament. If you win the tournament, Reginald has agreed to let you take your first childe. That would be your new wife Generis, and prize of the joust. It should be fun, because if you can “adjust” your lance, you can really do damage to those silly humans. It will be quite obvious who is the strongest candidate in that tournament. Hell, you might even want to lay off a few side bets.

These are exciting time for your clan. The joust should provide perfect cover to regain power for the Venture, or so Reginald says. The political implications are somewhat beyond you, but you trust in Reginald. All you know is that the Tremere control Dublin and you don’t.

Also going with you is Bernard Smith, your brother in arms for the last 15 years. He showed up after escaping some trouble in London awhile back, but Reginald need to muscle so he didn’t ask too many question.

Reginald’s ghoul, David Walsh will be there to see to his needs, and also the faith healer Adam Smith will be coming to. For some reason, Reginald keeps him around, you’re not sure why, but he does.

What is this?
