He has been their favored warrior, sent out to destroy those Kindred who dared to break the Masquerade by exposing themselves so blatantly to the kine population.  That is how most know him, as the Sister's chosen Andrasta warrior, until he refused to perform the task any longer.  Shock swept through a Kindred community looking for anything to latch onto.  The Sisters were highly amused with his boldness, but they did not give him permission to quit the job they had specifically designed for him.  So he quit on his own and began to search for others of his clan, which did not amuse the Sisters.  The Andrasta were hated worldwide within Kindred society, but that mattered little to Dimitri, and when he found at least a few of them, he stayed there, becoming a leader.  He has dissapeared into the shadows since that time, but he is sure of the Sister's power to find him, and of his families if they were tenacious enough.

Each century has changed and remade him so that he is able to pass easily through the human rabble.  He is a warrior, with a sharp mind and abilities that only time can bring to an ancient.  He is a formidable opponent and a leader.

He and his wife are somewhat estranged and when they are together can hardly stand the other, but they do love one another.  They also have a lot of pride.The devastation that the influenza left on Los Angeles struck all the L.A. clans.  The decision was made, for the survival of the Kindred, to move to New York.  Dimitri, having lost many of his brood to the last skirmish and 'bad' blood left by the virus, now takes charge his remaining Family to claim a place in NY City.
