Michael the Salubri Antitribu
TW mentions of suicidal mindset Michael wasn't his actual name, but who he had used to be was something he deeply wanted to forget, before Michael was embraced and given a new purpose, he was just a sad lonely and skinny eighteen year old, with a narcissist as a father who drove his mother crazy until she passed away due to illness and drove everyone who could've helped the young man when he needed it the most. But no matter how hard he tried to save money or work on his grades, his money would somehow end up in his father's hands and his grades never got beyond a C+, and none of the colleges he applied to accepted him, and that coupled with the growing suicidal thoughts he'd been having due to the hopelessness of his situation, lead him to make desperate decision. Thankfully for the young man, a Salubri of the warrior caste saw his suffering and wanted to save him and give him a new purpose. It was the lifeline Michael had needed and he threw himself fully into his new life, taking on the name Michael, learning the art of sword fighting, using explosive devices and the reason of his clan's purpose; to avenge the cruel murders of the healer caste of the Salubri clan at the hands of the Tremere and the Camarilla and bring back glory to the Salubri clan. It was a noble goal that Michael followed, but he quickly realised that being apart of the Sabbat left him more often than not with blood on his hands, when innocents were involved he was left with doubts to if this was the right way to go about the Salubri Antitribu's goal of bringing glory back to the clan. However, not wanting to abandon those who had given him new life and purpose, Michael pushed those doubts away, but with his pack's move to LA to assist the Archbishop with the take over of the city, its getting harder and harder to deny that maybe there is something wrong with his new life...
Michael wields a clay more sword one handed and often wears earbuds or earphones so he can listen to music while he fights in battles to keep him distracted from the horrors all around him. (though not loud enough to distract him from the battle)
