Baltasar Ortiz

Baltasar is the priest of one of Sabbat packs operating in Hamilton. A devout believer even after the Embrace, albeit of a

somewhat different kind, he sees it as his God–given duty to set his comrades on the right path.

Biography
Quite early in life Baltasar discovered his considerable social aptitudes which would let him influence people and their opinions. Coupled with religious devotion, this became the foundation of a conviction to become a priest and put these skills

to a good use. Baltasar was quite successful in this endeavour. In fact, so succsessful, that a member of clan Lasombra

decided that the priest would be a useful asset, and so in 1936 the clan gained a new member.

The following years were marked by swaying mortal minds in the direction the clan considered profitable, struggle against

fellow clanmates on behalf of his sire, but most of all internal turmoil. Eventually though, Baltasar came to a realisation: not

so much have changed. He was just assigned a new role in God's design.

And now, well after Baltasar's age passed a one–century mark, he had to leave his native shore to answer a calling elsewhere: in the city of Hamilton in United States of America.

Personality
Baltasar has a calm and steady personality that was probably even gentle prior to the Embrace. He aspires to be pious, but but understands that piety of a vampire constitues in embracing his unholy nature and following in the footsteps of Caine. Baltasar devotes effort in helping his comrades understand that truth. He tries to resolve matters with words when it is possible, but does not deny the necessity of violent and militant approach. There is a right tool for every task, and one must know when to use them.

Appearance
He wears the clothes that mark his station as a priest and exhibits a bearing befitting someone of an elevated kind. His eyes are usually obscured by a pair of round glasses, while his lips form a gentle half–smile that occasionaly transforms into a twisted grin.
