"there he is. childe of ventrue, childe of hanwool. archbishop cerberus, the darkest angel."
my first entry ( i have two others lined up) to the palla grande held by @tzimizce !
(commissions are open)
perfect excuse to infodump and tell you all about cerberus.
first of all, he belongs to a subsect of the sabbat called the "shield of caine", which has a lot less to do with the sabbat, but for the purposes of usefulness, the sword and the shield usually stick together.
the shield of caine was created by ambitious childer of the methuselah hanwool, the god of war ( i also have a loresheet for him and like. uh. a whole bunch of lore) in an attempt to claim more domains and fight more efficiently for him.
cerberus himself is a younger childe of hanwool (still a methuselah, atp) who was a soft-hearted, caring and lovable idiot who tried to ghoul a horse because he didn't want it to die. hanwool saw potential in him, but still thought him too weak. in an attempt to prove himself, cerberus sought out all avenues to power, including, as an elder, the sabbat. an elder lasombra took him in, broke him properly, tortured and taught him, until he finally became such a hollow version of himself that he no longer remembers his human life.
but he's strong now! and he knows obtenebration. And probably also ate his lasombra mawla.
anyways, thats all for tonight! can't wait to draw more for this event.
