The Masquerade

A male Kindred Ventrue with sharp high cheekbones and a thin mouth, always dressed immaculately in tailored charcoal suits, French cuffs, and expensive designer ties. His hair is neatly styled, and his posture is commanding and precise.

Jacob is cold, calculating, and ruthlessly ambitious, viewing others as tools or obstacles. He exudes control and authority but harbors deep self-loathing and discontent beneath his polished exterior. His demeanor is formal and intimidating, with a sharp intellect and a penchant for manipulation and dominance.

Jacob Schumpeter was a ruthless financial titan in Chicago, climbing from middle-class roots to dominate markets and society with cold precision. His life was a hollow empire of control, marked by emotional barrenness and cruelty, especially towards his family. Embraced by Prince Lodin into the Ventrue clan, Jacob's ambition found new life in the secretive undead hierarchy, where he wielded influence over Kindred finances. Yet his inner void and arrogance made him vulnerable, culminating in a mysterious downfall linked to a Thin-Blood named Flyboy and a SWAT raid on his haven. His fate remains uncertain, a cautionary tale of power, control, and the fragility beneath the mask of success.
