Further Information
Bob believes that Malkav and Arikel, the Toreador founder, were twins. Arikel was a Great Seer and clairvoyant. was commanded by Caine to create a mural showing him the future of Cainites. Arikels vision was so bleak and terrible it enraged Caine, who cursed Arikel to be distracted by that which she saw as beautiful (the Toreador Clan curse).
Malkav also saw the mural and was overtaken by the Truth. Malkav was enraged when Caine cursed Arikel, and Malkav vowed to take on the mantle of Seer from the crippled Arikel and clan Toreador, to understand whether Arikel’s vision was what WILL happen or what MAY happen to The visions and uncertainty drove Malkav to madness, and his Curse was passed to his childer.
Seeing the madness overtake Malkav, Arikel founder the Path of Humanity, to guard Malkav and Cainites against the Beast. Arikel subverted Cain’s curse by using art to speak truth to power, and worked in tandem with her shattered twin Malkav guide Cainites to a better future. They passed their gifts and curses to their Clans so that the Great Work would continue, even after the antediluvians had faded to half-forgotten myths.
Bob is an inheritor of the Great Work, as are all Malkavians and Toreadors. Bob is also a Seer, a true clairvoyant who knows - has ALWAYS known - that Camarilla and its insistence on that the Antediluvians are a myth was the greatest existential threat to Kindred to arise from within. She’s been vocally, passionately in opposition to the Camarilla since its founding, and though it’s taken nearly two centuries, now all the world can see that she was right. The Beckoning is the physical manifestation of the combined belief of the Kindred who have bought into the “Antediluvians as myth” ideology.
The Sabbat has gone and now news sects rise in opposition to the Camarilla - it is time for the Ivory Tower to fall and for all Malkavians to join together in examining the future. Is it too late to save themselves and their brothers? Has Arikel’s Terrible Vision finally come to pass? Or has it already come to pass and now the future is fully unknown? Bob knows that her nights are limited and that the future belongs to the thin blood, but she can’t leave until she makes her clan understand that they are strongest together, that their destiny belongs only to themselves. Can she do that before she, too, is disbelieved out of existence?

- Bob is really Anatole
- Bob and Ava
arewere lovers, which is weird because she hates Tremere. - Bob dumped Ava because she is a Servire and Ava was going to be forced to kill Bob.
- Bob and Andrei_Hermannstadt are lovers, which is weird because she hates Camarilla princes.
- Bob and Mal are lovers, which is weird because she never dates Malkavians.
- In 2013, Don Ariel succeeded in confiscating Bob's wealth. He had her haven in her own domain (Gloucester) foreclosed on and then bought it with her own money. He was and is very public about this, seeing Bob as functionally Sabbat despite her well known status as Unaligned. For her part, Bob has been largely silent on the matter, though if his name comes up in her hearing it's often followed by "that thieving, motherfucking Ventrue."
- Sevinch and Bob were married centuries ago, but split up due to differences in ideals. They appear amiable now, but like an old married couple, they know how to get on each others' nerves.
- Bob's derangement prevents her from lying - she always has to tell the truth
- Bob is actually Blood Hunted in Oregon.
- Bob and Grifo Léon Pippin Martel have an epic "human chess" battle going. The score is 1-1. No one is sure who is in the game or how you can tell when it's over...
- Do you really trust someone who has an emotionally complex relationship with a pigeon?!
- Bob needs to learn she's not the smartest person in the room just because she's willing to say everything out loud.
Work in progress
- "You are too insightful, dangerous. Your words have much sway, but you use them in a manner that makes you seem cavalier and unthinking. Which is false. Your reputation is well deserved. I often have to remind myself of how dangerous you truly are." - A Friend
- "If I have to tell you to not fall for the quirky name or the buffoonish antics and be mindful of the ancient, calculating monster beneath them, you are probably not cut out to encounter such a creature." Walter Merrick
- "What good are prophets, anyway? What difference do their visions make? They have had thousands of years to avert disaster, yet here we are. No, they are but stopped clocks with an overdeveloped sense of importance." -- Zoltan Vancura
- "Pffft. Don't listen to Zoltan, I'm good for invitations to all the best parties and he knows it." --Bob
- "Bob brought me in out of the cold, and showed me how to live in this world we are in. Do not underestimate her kindness, and do not underestimate her willingness to protect what is hers" - Syfa McAdams
- "I don't think I've run into an elder that's so...aggressively nice?" Gavin Callahan
- "I have done business with them and have not been disappointed." Justin Milliner
- "Thank you, thank you; a thousand times, thank you." - Euphemenion
- "Many would believe that she is only interested in being loud, brash and acting on her own agenda simply because of her clan. I assure you that would be a fatal assumption to make on your part." -Ava Melamed
- "Shaper and designer of guiding principles coalescing in a collage contributing understanding. A lighthouse in the gathering storm." - Luken Le Lave Leland Lewin
- "People see Bob as dangerous because she is a loose cannon but this is fallacy; Bob is dangerous because she is not. I do admire her ability to say out loud commentary which those of different temperament would only relegate to journals and telepathy." - Alena Sokoll
- "Bob told me that she could see how much pain I was in after doing my duty. She is the only Elder I know from whom that doesn't sound like a threat." - Danika "Dani" Astor
- "You can't tame a wild animal, and it's not your fault you're an outdoor cat." -Bodhi (to Bob)
- "I have enjoyed my time with Bob very much. As aged and powerful as she is, our relations have always been cordial and beneficial. But I would never make the mistake of viewing her friendliness as naivete or weakness." - Alex Krowe
- "Capable, brilliant, strange and adaptive. The Camarilla will gain much if she ever sees the light and joins the tower. Until then, she is a useful steward of the lost, and keeper of misfit toys." -Alaric of Gaul
