Bio

Johann Dhiele Łowczy was born to a Polish family of huntsmen who achieved a position of minor nobility early in his life. He was embraced in the wake of the Anarch revolt to serve as a frontline leader of his sire’s troops and knew conflict for most of his first century, developing a strong distaste for violence. Despite this distaste for violence, he does not suffer fools lightly and has no problem submitting a disruptive Kindred for renewed accounting.
