Konrad Roth

Appearance

Konrad stands 5'10" weighing 158lbs (72kg), with dark blue eyes and sandy brown hair. His chin sports trimmed facial hair and his expression is often relaxed with a heavy brow that gives him a narrow analyzing gaze. He often wears a heavy leather overcoat for concealing items on his person and protecting him from possible dangers, and sneakers to tread lightly.

History

Konrad began his mortal life in Casper, Wyoming in the 1940's. His father, a WWII veteran, worked the coal mines, though the experiences of the war kept him guarded and cold to the man's family. Breaking the illusion of normalcy, Konrad's father would suffer from fits of rage and confusion. Yet despite the domestic anxiety, Konrad experienced a happy childhood, making friends and exploring the Wyoming wilderness.

However, Konrad's father died in a mining accident. His mother, unprepared, tried her best to provide for Konrad. But she developed a drinking problem and often Konrad found himself taking care of her more than often. But it was her smoking habit that led to her to be diagnosed with cancer. By the time Konrad had reached adulthood he was already burying his mother.

Since it was the 60's Konrad found himself caught up in the surge of youth culture. Political protests, narcotics, racial tensions, the war draft, it left him feeling a little directionless, uncertain of his goals. He followed a girl he had met out to Las Vegas, Nevada, which was already the entertainment capital of the world. Surviving off his inheritance, Konrad found his funds drying up quickly.

Everything changed when Konrad found himself called in the draft for the Vietnam War. Having seen the effect war had on his father, he was terrified by the prospect. Either way, Konrad's mortal life came to an end that year.

Konrad's sire had ties with the Las Vegas mafia that ran the casinos. With the population surge, the city came to harbor a large Kindred population. The Embrace brought his world into focus. The uncertainties of mortal life were replaced with the powerful hunger of the Beast. The city was a perfect hunting ground with tourists and unchecked crime. Sin City now had its newest monster stalking its shadows.

A decade passed. As the government began to crack down on the element of organized crime, the risk to the masquerade grew. The unwanted attention caused the Kindred to distance themselves from the mafia. Konrad was one of the Kindred who moved on to what seemed like brighter pastures, Los Angeles. The gang and street violence seemed like a good cover for the Savage to make his home.

In the years that followed, Konrad met a young photographer who, unbeknownst to him, had discovered his true nature. The distortions in his film caused the photographer to become curious about Konrad and followed him around. It wasn't long before Konrad discovered the Kine's folly. Rather than killing the man, however, he offered instead to share the curse, making the man, by the name Cody Marlow, into his Ghoul.

This granted Konrad an unexpected convenience, allowing him options he had never had before. It allowed the Kindred an additional perspective of the world, one that Konrad had grown detached and distant from in his time unliving.

It was then a decade after the turn of the century that Konrad followed his Ghoul, after Cody accepted a new job in Sacramento, California. It would be a new experience for them both.
