Background:

                    Pedro is a very sad Kindred, for he lost the possibility to memorize: He forgets everything, given enough time, and it is believed he remembers few things beyond the last 10 years. The selection seems to depend on the last time Pedro was confronted to the object he tries to remember: For example, he remembers Villon is Prince of Paris, and even remembers being presented to him (but not the exact year!). But as he didn't saw his Sire since long, he can't remember it (and he can't remember his embrace as well!). As he learnt to drive, and still drives tonight, he didn't forget it, but if he had learnt, say, calligraphy, he wouldn't be able to draw graphs tonight as he didn't pratice since years (Ivan makes sure Perdo remembers him, as well as the Traditions.

Since, some memories sometimes shows up (not always for his good!), and he seems, among the other Malkavians, to be quite attuned to the ''local Malkavian Madness Network''. Thus, he can be quite enlightened, if he remembers the question... (joke, of course!)

Destiny

                    Unknown.

Appearance:

                    Perdo has medium length curly brown hair, sad brown eyes and a face who seem lived much outrages (or he was a sailor and his skin was weathered by the sea air). He is normal in appearance, even if he is witty and charming.

He usually wears common, practical clothes. Jeans, T-shirts, jackets, etc.. Everything in him appears to be common. Too common and to plain to be really interesting for long. Even his portuguese accent is boring...

Role Playing:

                    He has a portuguese accent that easily becomes boring as he seem to have forgotten this language since long. His french is perfect, but easily changes with the places he lives on: He easily takes the local accent, and lately, he lived in the eastern subburbs, thus acquiring the Langage des Cités cant (similar to rap/gangsta cant).

But he can be quite charming, as he forgot most prejudices from his past existence, and as he naturally hold everyone as equal. He is always welcome among the Anarchs because of his openeness

Notes:

                    Pedro is a Malkavian, and as such, he has permanent derangement. Others think he is simply amnesiac. The truth is even more strange: His mind is divided in two minds. His active mind has poor memory storage possibilities, and as such, he forgets easily. The other serves as storage of memories, but can't be active for very long as, with time, it becomes quite slow for an human. Pedro is the body where Henrique is living (or torporing would be a more exact word). Pedro's character sheet only have what he remembers he knows. Obfuscate is maximum because it is so natural for him it can't be forgotten.

Pedro lives by selling miscellaneous items he collect through the knowledge of the Verve Network.

Note that Pedro is quite sad about his memories, and he can enter a depression and even try suicide...

Actual Aim:

                    ''Err... Let me remember...''

Rumours:

• Pedro is quite old, as his Obfuscate power seems to attest. (True)
• Pedro is simulating (False: And no Auspex could find anything -- Because they didn't explore the right part of his mind: Only when Henrique is really active, that is almost never, one can find this kind of interesting informations in Pedro's mind).
• Pedro seems to remember less and less with the years... Some night, he won't remember enough, and will breach easily the Masquerade (Unknown. But Ivan makes it sure the last thing Pedro will remember is the Masquerade...)

Obfuscate ***** * : Mental Wall

                    This power was created in conjunction between Pedro and Henrique. It leads anyone scrying Pedro's mind into delving deeper in Pedro's memories, instead of searching ''elsewhere'' (if this word has a meaning in the field of mind scrying!).

                    System: Automatic
Anyone scrying the active personality (normally: Pedro) will see the first 3 successes appplied automatically to the active personnality, the remaining being treated in a special way: If the 4th greater success is greater or equal than the inactive personnality's willpower, then the one scrying will detect something is strange, as if it lacked ''something''. The others success can be used as wanted by the one scrying, but their score must be as great as the mind's willpower they try to scry. Note that once the one scrying knows something is amiss, she will know ''where'' to search: The next time, the 4th success will be considered a 1 success to scry the inactive mind, the 5th the 2nd, and so on...

For example, Pedro has 5 in Willpower, and Hendrique 8. If Pedro is active, and Elle tries to scry him, she will see nothing if she makes only 3 successes or less. If her fourth greater dice is 8 or greater, then she knows something is strange. If her fiveth dice is 8 or greater, then she knows immediately some strange memory that is searching in the Verve Network.

The next time, Elle knows ''where'' to search, but she must pass the first 3 successes of Pedro's mind layers. The 4th gives her superficial information about what is going in the Verve, the 5th the name ''Henrique'', and the 6th the fact thet this ''Henrique'' is the true name of the soul inhabiting the body of Pedro, without Pedro's knowledge.
