Cyan Gapamonde
	Romanian

Cyan lived a normal existence for a 12th Century child. He lived and worked on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Life was hard, but then this was normal for the dark ages. When Cyan was about to turn 16 however, things took a turn for the worst. He was returning to his house after working in the fields near his home, when he entered his house he found his parents dead, and his brother was nowhere to be found. This scene plunged Cyan into a pit of despair and for two years he wandered, driven by his sole desire to find his brother and avenge his parents. His investigations produced some disturbing results. Apparently, the world was not ruled by the Great mortal Kings but they were all puppets, controlled by a secretive organisation of Vampires. This revelation shocked Cyan, and he came to the conclusion that vampires were no doubt responsible for the death of his parents. He returned to his native town to raise a group of mercenaries to destroy the local vampire hideout. He learned that the local landlord, known to him as ‘Dimitri Vasile’ was infact a Vampire claiming himself to be of the clan ‘Tzimisce’, although Cyan could not see how any hint of organisation could exist among such servants of Satan himself. He led his small band of mercenaries on a charge against Dimitri’s Castle. Although Cyan fought bravely he was forced to retreat back to his town. Dimitri, however, was impressed by Cyan's fighting spirit and sent his servants (Otherwise known as Ghouls or Szlachta) to bring Cyan to him.

When he was brought into Dimitri’s presence Cyan was subjected to a strange ritual. His body was drained of its blood, so much so that he was only barely alive. He was then forced to drink Dimitri’s very blood. His body was bathed in pain as he felt his very intestines struggling to break free of their skeletal confines. He could not contain it much longer, and he threw up, expelling the organs which were no longer needed. While Cyan was under the tutelage of Dimitri he was transformed. Still motivated by his desire for revenge he learned much about his condition, the new powers it granted and the proud heritage of which he was no a part. Cyan learned he could now shape flesh at will and within time he learned to use this power to transform himself into a near demon, which granted him tremendous power in battle. He learned about the vampiric condition and learned how to drink blood and how he was not completely invincible, but could only be destroyed if his heart was completely destroyed. He also learned that a stake through his heart could not kill him, but he would be paralysed until the stake was removed. He learned that of a vampire of the Tzimisce clan he was expected to learn all he could about his condition and to alter his flesh so he could attain true strength. He learned: he was now part of an ancient war between the camarilla and the sabbat (of which he was now a member), how the camarilla sought to hide the exsistence of vampires form mortal eyes, and how the sabbat sought to elevate vampires to their rightful place as rulers of the mortal ‘cattle’.

After his training was completed, he was selected from Dimitri’s childer to join a Sabbat warrior pack. He was joined with: Andreus – a Crusader turned Ventrue Antitribu who had joined the sabbat to oppose the views of his parent clan the ‘Ventrue’; Vivani – a twisted vampire gifted with a third eye; and Talon a gargoyle made of pure Stone. They were being sent from Cyan’s homeland of Romania to secure territory on the newly discovered land of America. For nearly a year he sailed across the vast Atlantic Ocean. He arrived, with his co-horts, in America and they quickly captured a small fort, which they called Riszeville. Him and the rest of his pack, who had dubbed themselves ‘Crimson Mist’ were slowly turning the cities population into ghouls when they were visited by a creature most foul. This creature was cylindrical in shape with a ball shaped head and small legs. It was over 15ft Tall, with feelers instead of lips and its body was covered with tentacles. It told them to return to eastern Europe for the ‘Tapestry of Blood’, a magical tapestry that allowed people to see into the future.

So, he gathered his equipment and selected a few ghouls to operate the ship and set sail to his homeland in 1567. When he arrived, after a few diversions, in 1572, he returned to the mansion of his Sire, Dimitri, with the rest of Crimson Mist. His sire said that it was in the possession of Another Tzimisce lord, called Damien. He traveled to Damien’s Mansion, deep in the Carpathian mountain range. Damien told them that that tapestry was taken by a rogue Sabbat called Nephran, who was seeking to use the tapestry to view the very end of the world, and use this information to trigger it. Damien said that his agents had spotted Nephran traveling toward America, so the Crimson Mist pack set out after him. Half way through the journey they were attacked, by the very creature that had sent them to retrieve the tapestry. This monstrous abomination attacked the ship and sank it, but Crimson mist was unable to escape, and was buried beneath the ocean.

For 500 years, the resting place of Crimson Mist lay undisturbed, until an expedition uncovered the ship, and began transporting the bodies to the nearest major City, Riszeville. In the middle of the Voyage, Crimson Mist awoke, took control of the ship, and returned to Riszeville. When they returned to Riszeville, they discovered that the city had fallen into the hands of the camarilla, so they raised an army of Sabbat to take back the City. The battle was long and lasted several evenings. The Sabbat pack had managed to trap the Camarilla Vampires within the town hall. In an act of Desperation, the camarilla dispatched their strongest local vampire, called Brandon Michaels, to break the siege. The Sabbat forces leapt and Brandon, but he was just too strong. Brandon Successfully broke the siege and slaughtered all of the Sabbat. Cyan had passed into the realm of the dead, never to fulfill his desire for vengeance.

Cyan Mostly using a short sword in the early years of his life before using his skills to craft a kitana made of bone. He fought using both these weapons before reverting to using his kitana, when he traded his short sword for the secrets of Earth Magic. He sucessfully weilded his kitana and combined it with his claws until he was killed in combat with brandon.

Cyans major advantage is his short height, using it he can quickly use his speed to gain the upper hand in any fight. His size can also cause opponents to underestimate him, and he gives them a nasty shock when he strikes them with his sword while in demon form (18 dice of damage, hehehe). Before the seige of riszeville he developed the ability to strike opponents using claws which extended out of his fists, with incredible power, causing aggrivated wounds that take longer to heal than most normal wounds.
