Character Profile: Sati Barsamian

Spiritual Huntswoman

“If you can’t keep up, you shouldn’t be in the race.”

Clan: Gangrel
Covenant: Circle of the Crone

Titles: Priscus of Clan Gangrel, Mistress of the Hunt (City Status 3)
Court: High

Priscus Barsamian, Mistress of the Arena, has made her mark on the city over the years and provided a strong voice for Clan Gangrel. It might be expected that she would find conflicts of interest in representing the Prince’s clan, but either Clan Gangrel is remarkably agreeable or they manage to stop any disputes from reaching public ears. It seems that Priscus Barsamian is a good person to have in your corner.

While she might be a little blunt, Priscus Barsamian is known for putting her points across forcefully and clearly. She is one of the longer-serving Prisci, and firmly believes that the strongest person for a job should do it. She is known to take on challengers for her role with enthusiasm, though no-one has yet managed to unseat her. Her recent campaigning against the People’s Council has provoked discussion amongst Clan Gangrel, and some suspect that she has an anti-Low-Court agenda, though it is possible that a strong belief in a meritocracy could give this appearance.

Likes: To be impressed, competitive sports, tigers
Dislikes: Weak people, excuses, reality TV

Rumours:

• There is a separate, secret arena where Gangrel brutality is tested to its limits - but it’s not advertised so they don’t have to explain where people go when they lose.
• I heard Sati was a queen in India, so why is she satisfied with obeying another Prince? There must be more to that alliance than meets the eye...
• Sati, as described by the other Prisci:
• Dana: ‘she’s tough but cool’
• Maxwell: ‘she’s very...driven…’
• Adrian: ‘nice, I guess? Well, not nice exactly, but...well, she seems OK.’
• Simone: ‘a worthy opponent or powerful ally’
• She’s building an army of Gangrel on commission from the Prince to ensure Clan Gangrel’s dominance of the city - she selects potential childer and then takes them to the woods. Whoever survives is Embraced in secret and kept in a facility on the edge of the city.
