Toreador

Maria

For years this beautiful Spanish woman was the most powerful Toreador in the city, a fifth-generation Vampire who lived for nothing but pleasure. She refused to join the Primogen, figuring them to be a hindrance to her pleasures. No one has seen her recently.

Annabelle Treabelle (Ellen Mueller)

Annabelle is a hedonist, living only to excess. She lives in the public eye under the name of Ellen Mueller, the wife of media baron John Mueller, who has a hand in one television station and several newspapers. Mueller is an older man, in his late sixties, and the two have been married since the early sixties - the local media are beginning to comment on the apparent agelessness of Mrs Mueller.

Image: Of average height and slighty better-than-average build, Annabelle has stylishly cut shoulder-length ash-blonde hair, recut nightly and wide, sky-blue eyes. She has a large full mouth and the bearing and appearance of a high-fashion model. She has a distinct French accent.

Sophia Ayes

Unlike many other Toreador, Sophia is known for being somewhat... coarse. She teases and provokes with impunity, telling the most outragous stories - it is all laughed away, after all, Sophia is Sophia.

Image: A beautiful woman with rich black skin - think Grace Jones, but prettier. Dresses in low cut evening gowns.

Bret Stryker

A night-club dancer in his mortal life, Bret Stryker was Embraced by Annabelle, for his talent. Somewhat vain and stupid, he is also her bodyguard.

Image: A handsome, blond, athletically-built young man with long, curly hair and blue eyes. Tall and muscular with a wry smile. Only dresses in the sharpest suits.

Sharon

Obsessed with a long-running feud with another Toreador, Michael, it is hard to say if there is anything more to Sharon that this. She rants and raves about him fairly regularily.

Image: She was a flapper at the time of her Embrace, and still looks like one. Short hair and slim, attractive build.

Michael

Still an active player in the ongoing feud, Michael is a lot more popular around the kindred because he does not obsess about it to the others. Michael is a painter of some moderate talent, capturing the spirit of the landscapes he paints.

Image: Very handsome and dashing in an old-fashioned sort of way. Looks a lot like Cary Grant.

Sir

Sir is an old Kindred, Embraced in the early 1800's. A friend of Annabelle's, he also revels in the good life. His full name is not known to the younger Kindred - he insists on being called Sir.

Image: A large, darkly complextioned man for a Kindred. He is usually quite flushed with blood.

Tamoszius Kuszleika

An amazingly gifted violinist, Tamoszius rarely becomes active in Kindred life. He attends Annabelle's parties, but sits quietly in the corner watching. It is generally believed that he is becoming a little unstable.

Image: Five feet tall and preternaturally thin, with long corpse-thin fingers. Hooked nose and blazing eyes, he tends to dress rather shabbily.

Kathy Glens

A founding member of Baby Chorus and a renowned rock guitarist, Kathy is a gifted musician. She freely associates with Kindred from other clans, especially the rest of Baby Chorus, her band.

Images: A rather normal-looking young woman, with long brown hair and hazel eyes. She dresses casually, jeans and a band t-shirt, even at the most formal occasions.

Travis Donnelly

A gifted painter, Travis is a common feature at most Toreador gatherings. He specialised in oil-on-canvas paintings, and not a small amount of his work adorns various kindred walls. (Gm Only)

Image: A mature looking man, of average, if sinewy, build. He often wears all black, but of the trousers and silk style rather than velvet.

Brennon Thornhill

The owner and manager of the Succubus Club, Brennon is everyone's gracious host. Calm, suave and debonair, Brennon is alternatively known as the owner of the extremely convenient and permissive Succubus Club and as one of the most self-centred Kindred in the city. It is said that he never does anything without thinking of the personal profit in it for himself.

Image: A strikingly attractive man with coconut skin and a seductive smile. Many of the people who visit his club find him to be one of the most fascinating men in existence.

Derrick Arnolds

Posessing excellent taste and an eye for beauty and talent, although he has no real artistic ability of his own, Derrick is well-known as an art critic and his opinion is well-respected. He is often asked for advice by Toreador contemplating a purchase

Image: A handsome man, he appears to be about 28 years old

Elise Quinn

Elise is a 5'3'' brunette, very petite. She appears to be about 24. Elise is known amongst the Toreador for a brilliant performance a few years ago in a film, and for very little since. She works as a markeup artist at Channel 9

Edge

An apparent newcomer to Melbourne, Edge is a total victim of the 80's - he looks as if he stepped straight out of a Duran Duran music video.

StephanIE

StephanIE! is Edge's childe. Very pretty, she appears to have been Embraced by Edge simply for her appearance. Tall, leggy and blonde, she is never seen away from Edge's side.
