The Masquerade

A tall, lean, muscular Black male Brujah vampire with deep brown unaging skin, neatly kept locs often pulled back into a tactical bun, and a neatly trimmed beard. He wears sleek modern streetwear with armored components including black leather jackets lined with kevlar, combat boots, and matte rings with Brujah sigils. A modified sheriff's badge pendant hangs around his neck.

Damien is loyal, restrained, and purposeful, embodying a stoic and calculated demeanor. He balances his Brujah passion with a belief in Camarilla order, acting as a disciplined enforcer who respects strength even in his enemies. He is not sadistic but unflinching in violence, seeking to stabilize Chicago through discipline and order.

Damien was Embraced in secret by Critias during the late 1980s in South Side Chicago, a time of unrest and rebellion. Once a street-level activist and poet with a gun, Damien was turned into a Brujah vampire outside Camarilla sanction, leaving him marginalized in Kindred society. For decades, he survived among thin-bloods, Caitiff, and Anarchs, tempering his rage into cold resolve. Recently, Prince Kevin Jackson appointed him Sheriff of Chicago's Camarilla, a strategic move to bring order through a street-savvy enforcer. Damien balances loyalty to the Camarilla with his Brujah passion, acting with brutal precision to maintain stability in the city.
