Title: ex-Senechal of Paris
Quote: It will be found. You on the other hand, (draws his sword) won't be!
Appearance: A swashbuckler through and through, it is obvious when looking at Villon, to pick up on his Oriental background, for his eyes are just slightly squinted. He is roughly five feet, four inches all, wears dark, tight fitting clothing with a fencing sword always strapped to his side. He wears a fancy black beret (probably to hide his spiky black hair). He doesn't speak much except when it comes to matters of kindred affairs.
Note: By far, the best swordsman in all of France. He personally trained the King's bodyguards and other high profile aristocrats. A devout Camarilla kindred, he took his duties extremely seriously. His authority was synonymous with the Prince's but excercised little of it. He often takes trips between Paris from Versailles to supervise the actions of the Prince's ghouls and other minions.
Update: When Villon was Seneschal, he was ordered by Prince Hippocrates and the Council at the time to destroy the Gangrel named Daniel (Zorin's childer) for breaking one of the Traditions. Villon took the staked body of Daniel outside of Paris to be left out in the sun. Villon never returned. A search for Villon uncovered a body hacked into many pieces, but whether it was Villon or not could never be determined. Falco was then chosen by Prince Hippocrates to replace
Villon as Seneschal of Paris. Daniel resurfaced in Paris many years later as an Anarch. This suggests that Zorin attacked and destroyed Villon outside of Paris to rescue Daniel. However, some believe that Villon has returned as the mysterious swashbuckling vigilante known only as "The Man in Black".
1789 Update: MISSING. Many of the Parisian kindred still believe that Francois Villon is still alive, however the facts surrounding his disappearance have become distorted. He is Paris' favorite "urban legend".
Update:Francois has been seen by very few Kindred. It was rumored that Archibold kept vigil over Villion's torpored form. Solanna in her stubbornness demanded to speak to this Villion person, and was summoned to his chambers which ironically are located right on her haven's ground in a crypt in her military college cemetary. He instructed her not to tell a word to anyone, since Hippocrates is out for revenge and he wants to kill Villon for something that tranpired between the two of them. He had been roused from torpor it seems by Hipporactes' presence in Paris, and makes occational trips outside his crypt in order to bring certain Kindred to justice, espcially when it is concerns the minions of Hippocrates, Coralie and Alister.
