Nissim Melamed is the the head of House Melamed, a lineage that embraces those from groups that have been othered and oppressed by mortal society. Openly queer and Jewish, Nissim seems to fit the same mold as many of his lineage do.<br><br>
+
Ashley is the child of two very different worlds, on one hand he takes after his mother on the other he has taken up his father's mantle as a Seelie protector.<br><br>
  
Nissim is a scholar interested in the ritual practices of various magical traditions, causing him to reach out especially to those clans who practice Thaumaturgy and Necromancy. Though he is generally known to be stoic and calm, many who are closer to him state that still waters run deep, and that he is passionate about his family and those he cares for. He is known to personally use Thaumaturgy based in his Kabbalaist roots from his mortal life.
+
Ashley is a musician, and the lead singer, and rhythm guitarist for the Makaras who have grown to some acclaim in the South East. Though he is generally known to prefer to diffuse situations rather than end up in a fight, those that have really seen the fun loving Selkie get angry know that he is capable of efficient violence. He is as passionate about his adopted family of miscreants as he is about his music. He is known to be a bit of a wild child for a Seelie, indulging in all the vices the music industry offers, to the point that some question whether he is Seelie at all.
 
<br><br>
 
<br><br>
Nissim has been the Tremere Primogen of New York City since 1945, and was a member of the Tremere House of Lords since 1946. He is currently the Lord of the Northeast Megalopolis Enclave, overseeing the Chantries of Boston, New York City, and Trenton.

Founded by Ashley the Makaras are a rock band with a lot of influence from the bands of the fifty years. There are elements in their music that shows Ashley's love for all things musical, from the Stones and the Beatles, to Motley Crue and Def Leppard.

<br>
* "From the lowest neonate to the highest elder, we must always strive to learn and understand, and to spread that understanding. Just as God the most holy has learned lessons from Humanity, so too may we learn from each other" - <span style="color:#B93;">Nissim Melamed</span>
+
* "When the Muse is with you, you just drop what you're doing and write. That's how it is." - <span style="color:#B93;">Ashley Grey</span>
* "I'm not going to answer that, and you can't fucking make me. I'm not sure if you assumed that I'd hate Nissim because of the history between our clans, or because he's an elder of '''your''' sect and I'm an Anarch...or if you just thought I'd be too stupid to see what you're trying to do. Next time maybe don't be so goddamn '''transparent''', and I'll fall for it. I doubt it, but you're welcome to try. Shall we discuss how much you're going to offer me to '''not''' tell Elder Melamed about this conversation, instead?" - [[Marcel Trevisani|<span style="color:#B93;">Dr. Marcel Trevisani</span>]]
 
* "He's a stand up guy e'en if he is a damn Tremere" - [[Ieuen Parker|<span style="color:#B93;">Ieuen Parker</span>]]
 
* "Him? Oh, he's <i>definitely</i> a good witch -- but a little far from Oz, wouldn't you say?" - [[Zoltan Vancura|<span style="color:#B93;">Zoltan Vancura</span>]]
 
* "What is there to know, he's a damn Tremere, I trust him about as far as he could throw me." [[Zeke Wylde|<span style="color:#B93;">Zeke Wylde</span>]]
 
* “I have often sought comfort and knowledge from Elder Melamed, he is a learned and trusted teacher, spiritual advisor and confidant. He taught me that it is ok to be who I am, even when it was not accepted by the world or even my parents. He is as much my father as the man who helped grant me life.” [[Ava Schulmann|<span style="color:#B93;">Ava Schulmann</span>]]
 
* "One of the few Tremere that actually understands more than he claims to, rather than the other way around.  A good ally to have." - [[Agatha Palmerstone|<span style="color:#B93;">Agatha Palmerstone</span>]]
 
* "Not normally my cup of tea, but Nissim is a fine looking kindred and devoted to the Camarilla. What more could I hope for?" - [[Kelly Cassidy|<span style="color:#B93;">Kelly Cassidy</span>]]
 
* "Nissim has done a fine job of recreating the Pyramid with his lineage. I wonder if he gets lonely at the top?" - [[Randolf Stein|<span style="color:#B93;">Randolf Stein</span>]]
 
* "Nissim has a kindness I've never seen among his clan, and I passion that I...well." -[[Alaric of Gaul|<span style="color:#B93;">Alaric of Gaul</span>]] 
 
* "Regardless of the face he presents himself to the world, its worth remembering that he is a very powerful Elder with very many allies. He leads a powerful coterie and powerful lineage. Tread carefully. However, as far as Elders go, this one upholds and honors his agreements and is deeply knowledgeable about many things. Deal with him in good faith, and you can have a promising relationship. Deal with him dishonorably and expect suffering to enlighten the error of your ways." - [[Sevinch|<span style="color:#B93;">Sevinch</span>]]
 
* "Nissim is the best of grandsires, and one of the greatest teachers I have had the privilege of knowing. That he has built and headed House Melamed over so many centuries is a testament to his patience, persistence, and wisdom." - [[Ari Melamed|<span style="color:#B93;">Ari Melamed</span>]]
 
* "Ugh, I know he wants me to focus, but man it's difficult to do when he's around. You know how it is with Elders." - [[Kenneth Bilge|<span style="color:#B93;">Kenneth Bilge</span>]]
 
* "I think I've left about 20 knives in Nissim over the years. In retrospect, they were stabbings of affection!" - [[Teuta|<span style="color:#B93;">Teuta</span>]]
 
* “After the harshness of Russia, the warmth and tenderness that I found within Nissem is what helped to inspire me to search for the best in my fellow kindred. I am who I am, because of Nissem.” — [[Claude|<span style="color:#B93;">𝓒𝓵𝓪𝓾𝓭𝓮</span>]]
 
* "I'd complain about Nissim making himself whoever the person he's with needs but boy am I lacking in father figures so whoops." - [[Finley Welles|<span style="color:#B93;">Finley Welles</span>]]
 
* ''I would be nothing if it were not for him. Well, and Mother, but the credit really still goes to him if you think about it that way too." - [[Jerry Holiday|<span style="color:#B93;">Jerry Holiday</span>]]
 
* "I dislike the overly simplistic word of affection too commonly used that wears out it's meaning. Nissim is an alstromeria in a garden of roses." - [[Banks|<span style="color:#B93;">Banks</span>]]
 
* "I won’t be anyone’s dirty little secret. Except Nissim’s. The things I let that man do to me… Mmmm. What were we talking about?" - [[Fiadh|<span style="color:#B93;">Fiadh</span>]]

* "There’s no such thing as over-researching when it comes to your green babies. Do what you feel you must do to properly care for your gorgeous growing plants. You will experience the reward of your hard work when a new leaf begins to unfurl, or a tiny cutting grows into a full plant. When a flower blooms, I kid you not, you will find true joy, and the spirits will appreciate you..." - [[Revinaka|<span style="color:#B93;">Revinaka</span>]]

* "For all the threats, and the fights, and the fool's errands, he has always kept his word." - [[Calico|<span style="color:#B93;">Calico</span>]]
 
* "Look, I'm not stupid. I know that Nissim has done some bad, bad stuff in his long life. But he's trying to be better, and if I can't respect it when someone does their best to do better after a lifetime of bad choices, then I'm just a hypocrite of the highest order. So I'm there for him, and he's been there for me." - [[Evelyn Mitchell|<span style="color:#B93;">Evelyn Mitchell-Vykos</span>]]

Walking Two Worlds

"I am a Golden God."
– Russell Hammond

Ashley is the child of two very different worlds, on one hand he takes after his mother on the other he has taken up his father's mantle as a Seelie protector.

Ashley is a musician, and the lead singer, and rhythm guitarist for the Makaras who have grown to some acclaim in the South East. Though he is generally known to prefer to diffuse situations rather than end up in a fight, those that have really seen the fun loving Selkie get angry know that he is capable of efficient violence. He is as passionate about his adopted family of miscreants as he is about his music. He is known to be a bit of a wild child for a Seelie, indulging in all the vices the music industry offers, to the point that some question whether he is Seelie at all.
