The Masquerade

A clean-cut man with short brown hair, warm olive-toned skin, dark eyes hidden behind aviator shades, and an athletic frame suggesting a military past. He wears a flight jacket and moves with calm, practiced confidence.

Noah is cold, pragmatic, and highly disciplined, shaped by military and intelligence training. He treats interactions as transactions and relationships as ledgers. Despite his detachment, he harbors a strong sense of purpose and a desire to control the system rather than destroy it. He is lethal when necessary but never cruel, always calculating and planning ahead with a soldier's precision.

Raphael de la Pole, aka Noah Grewal, known in the shadows as Flyboy, is a former Marine and CIA operative turned thin-blood vampire. Originally recruited for Project Morningstar, a covert program to infiltrate vampire society, Noah underwent a harrowing transformation that nearly killed him. Now a thin-blood, he navigates Chicago's Kindred society as a broker of information and escape routes, leveraging his military training and newfound vampiric gifts. Despite his cold, calculated demeanor and disdain for the ancient vampire clans, he has carved out a niche as a vital, if controversial, figure in the city's undead hierarchy. His network of informants and black-market resources make him a valuable asset and a dangerous wildcard. Constantly watched by the Camarilla, Anarchs, and his former CIA handlers, Noah walks a razor's edge, determined to master the skies and control his own fate.
