Captain Ahab would also make a good Ventrue, but it'd be hard to explain how he got embraced at the bottom of the ocean.

my favourite part of @FakeGenreBot is, when on desktop, clicking and dragging the record discs out of the sleeve. try it at home!

James: A man who spent his life confessing his feelings to a woman through hosting extravagant balls. When she died in a car accident before he could simply tell her, he fell into a depression and wanted for nothing. That is until he was embraced into Clan Ventrue: who pitied James for his incredible efforts to gain something so simply achieved. Now James' efforts are quite straightforward compared to the extravagance of his former life- staining himself in crimson while revelling in the night life. On occasion he will develop a new obsession, and with James' abilities and knowledge, he will never let the subject escape again.
