Further Information
The Mastiff generally appears as himself - choosing not to don the guise of Mask of 1000 Faces so the Toreador can feel more comfortable. The Mastiff's skin is pale and grey-ish in appearance. His dress if for function and comfort as he traverses the Warrens of Pittsburgh rather than to please the eyes of those who look upon him. His voice is low and raspy, and you will have listen closely to hear him.
The Mastiff is an old Luminary of Clan Nosferatu.
As a leader against the Anarch Revolt in Paris, an attendee and speaker at Thorns, and a key intelligence gatherer for the Break-In of Alamut, The Mastiff has been the embodiment of loyalty to the Ivory Tower since its founding. He was an up and comer in the Tower - destined for greatness. In 1575, he received word that Hardestadt himself planned to recognize and reward Jean Didier for his exploits...and recognized he was.
Rather than receiving a tangible reward, Jean was granted the moniker of The Mastiff - dog of the Camarilla - by Hardestadt. What Hardestadt intended to be a slight, however, became not only Jean's new identity but his raison d'être. Jean no longer existed...there was only The Mastiff. The dog. The protector of the Camarilla.
The Mastiff has structured his identity around this moniker. As the patriarch of the Mastiffs, each member of the line takes on the role as a protector - a dog - of the Tower. The Mastiffs do not seek the limelight. Rather, they are content with knowing that they have done their duty from the shadows while others get public credit. They are happy with what they receive behind closed doors. Behind each defense of the Camarilla are the Mastiffs - and behind them, The Mastiff.
- The Mastiff and Bob were lovers, and her hatred of the Camarilla is because she's holding a personal grudge against it for stealing The Mastiff away from her.
- The Mastiff's favorite food when he is really hungry is Kindred
- "Always so nice to see another Nosferatu willing to meet the night unmasked. I'm sorry, did I say 'nice?' Er.. I meant, um, impressive, yes." - Zoltan Vancura
- "Both terrifying and wise, The Mastiff is a staunch guardian of the Camarilla and all it stands for. I have learned from his example and his council." - Malcolm Crane
- "He is my opposite in all things. The personal is political, and little is more divisive than politics. We aren't enemies...but I wonder if we'll ever truly be friends again." -Bob
- "It is a form of endless grief, to have an ideal that you hold so dear that you shed blood for it, that you burn for it, only for it to change and evolve again and again. The Camarilla is not static. Nothing is that survives. Like our children and our childer, our siblings and our broodmates, our countries and our domains, we must grieve that which we love with every step we take throughout eternity, because with every dawn that which we loved has changed and a part of it has died, and we must discover our love anew." - Beatrix
