Guivre

Introduction[ edit ]

"I'm not here to fuck you, my dear, cute notion but, no, no. I'm here to fuck with you... mostly your head. Best to put your trousers back on, and the tinfoil hat... you do have one? Right?"
~ Some Psychopath ~

Below is a partial collection of some facts that might be relevant based on his Former Prince Flaw

Expand for Backstory

1949: Guivre sells out his sire to the longtime Prince of Paris, Francois Villon, earning himself passage out of Europe to the New World on the Prince’s dime. Solis disappears soon after, his fate likely sealed by the cold calculus of Kindred politics.

(Whether he met final death, torpor, or some other grim fate, Guivre never inquired. For him, the act was a means to an end, not a moment of personal reckoning.)

1950: Guivre moves to New Orleans and joins the Praxis there in Good Standing with a letter of support from Prince Villon of Paris. (Status 2)

1950-54: Prince Doran continues to assert his power over the domains of Louisiana, battling Mages and Lupines alike until the 1950s, when he began to raise his expectations about the future of New Orleans. He finally decides to move on with his plan, and wants to use the occasion of his 250th anniversary in Louisiana to harmoniously unite mortals and vampires without the deceptive veil of the Masquerade.

1955: A few weeks after he announces his plan to his trusted allies, Doran is assassinated by an unknown assailant. No one suspects Guivre or anyone else in the Prince’s close retinue.

1956-1994: Guivre takes on the mantle of Prince of New Orleans. He serves in this role for almost forty years, achieving some kind of tense peace with the local Lupines.

1995: Guivre steps down as Prince of New Orleans, he tells others he had a vision. A vision of greatness in the west, a calling he must attend, even if it means he leaves behind a power vacuum in the historically Malkavian state of Louisiana.

1995: Former Prince of New Orleans, peacemaker, madman, and guru, Guivre Gautier, moves to Houston.

Overview[ edit ]

Name: Guivre Gautier
Faction: Camarilla
Clan: Malkavian
Themesong: Dream Sweet in Sea Major
Believe me, darling
The stars were made for falling
Like melting obelisks
As tall as another realm

Un ensemble d'enfants
La galaxie s'étend
Jardin de l'imagination
Combler la lacune
Voler face à la lune
Vois comme nous évoluons

It feels like flying
But maybe we're dying
A cosmic confluence of
Pyramids hologrammed

And another thing...[ edit ]

Former Prince Flaw

Guivre once held the throne of New Orleans, ruling for nearly four decades before stepping down. While this grants him a certain prestige among Kindred, it is also a heavy burden. Former Princes are rarely left in peace—old rivals, displaced power players, and those who lost favor under his rule may seek vengeance, while others view him as a threat, assuming he harbors ambitions of reclaiming a throne.

Additionally, the weight of past decisions follows him. Boons once traded, grudges left to fester, and whispers of his involvement in Prince Doran’s untimely demise all create an air of suspicion. Even outside New Orleans, his reputation precedes him, making it difficult to operate in anonymity.

Recruitment RP Hook: Anyone with New Orleans in their backstory or any new characters with an interest in New Orleans, Guivre is building a coterie of loyal and like minded old friends from his former praxis.
