Wendigo of Baba Yaga
Character Bio, Marcus Lefebvre, Malkavian
Basic Information
Full Name: Marcus Lefebvre
Previous Names: Marceau, Marc, Marquais (he changes it around a bit every few decades for tax evasion purposes lmao)
Clan: Malkavian
Generation: 7th
Sect: Camarilla, Primogen
Apparent Age: Mid-30s
Actual Age: Over 200
Date of Birth: 1740s
Embraced: 1780s
Sire: Unknown, he isn't talking about it.
Pronouns: He/Him (Cis male)
Sexuality: Gay
Relationship status: open, but never exclusive. He will always gravitate to Leo
Nationality: French
Height: 6'0"
Physical Description
Standing at six feet tall, Marcus carries himself with an effortless grace and old-world confidence. His short, wavy black hair is always carefully styled, a contrast to Leo's deliberately messy appearance. His most striking feature is his eyes: reflective silver, like polished mirrors. They make it difficult to tell where Marcus's attention truly lies, and many Kindred find themselves unsettled by the feeling that he is seeing something beyond them.
One of his ears is pierced, adorned with a silver fortune-telling pendulum worn as an earring.
His style combines romantic modern menswear with gothic influences. He favors deep reds, floral patterns, velvet, silk, embroidered coats, elegant jewelry, and carefully tailored clothing.
Derangement/powers
Marcus's derangement manifests as an obsessive fixation with collecting and preserving.
He collects antiques, art, preserved butterflies by the dozen, historical artifacts, rare books, and unusual objects, but he also collects experiences, secrets, and people.
Unlike many Malkavians, Marcus is calm, articulate, and unnervingly lucid. His insanity is subtle enough that many Kindred mistake him for one of the sanest members of the clan until they realize he speaks of people with the same reverence and ownership as antiques. To him, objects are people and people are objects. There is no discernment between the two.
His affection is genuine, but often possessive. Marcus does not think of himself as controlling. He believes he is protecting what matters from a cruel and uncaring world.
Obfuscate
Marcus is exceptionally skilled with Obfuscate and uses it constantly.
He prefers subtle influence over direct confrontation, though he doesn't really have qualms with ripping someone apart. it's just easier if they ignore him. He can move unnoticed through crowded rooms, hide his presence, make places seem unimportant, and ensure certain memories fade from mortal minds.
His antique shop benefits greatly from this ability. Many people walk past it every day without ever noticing it exists. Leo's radio show is kept secretive similarly, it's very easy to manipulate mortal minds.
Dementation
Marcus uses Dementation with precision.
He doesn't break minds for entertainment. Instead, he introduces uncertainty, amplifies existing doubts, and gently pushes people toward conclusions that benefit him. A conversation with Marcus can leave someone wondering whether an idea was ever their own.
Auspex
While not as naturally gifted with Auspex as Leo, Marcus has developed his own impressive skill with the Discipline.
Marcus is exceptionally skilled at reading surface thoughts during conversations, allowing him to anticipate reactions and guide discussions. Few people enjoy arguing with someone who already knows what they are going to say.
Personality Marcus is composed, articulate, and intensely observant. Every word is chosen carefully, every movement deliberate. He rarely raises his voice or acts impulsively, preferring patience and subtle manipulation over displays of power. That's not to say he won't rip someone apart on occasion. He is romantic, artistic, and surprisingly sentimental beneath his reserved exterior. He would have made one hell of a Toreador.
Marcus loves:
Art.
History.
Butterflies
Leo
Antique objects.
Beautiful architecture.
Poetry.
Rare experiences.
People who are impossible to replace.
He is less energetic and flippant than Leo, but the two balance each other. Leo reminds Marcus that beauty is not only something to preserve, it is something to experience.
Marcus's greatest contradiction is that he loves freedom in theory but struggles with letting go in practice. He doesn't necessarily want to cage beautiful things, he simply wants to make sure they never disappear.
Life/The Embrace
In 1780, Marcus Lefebvre found himself far from his homeland, serving as part of the French forces sent to support the Americans during the Revolutionary War. He had not expected to remain in the New World, but history had a way of dragging people into places they never intended to stay.
During a battle, Marcus was caught in the chaos of the fighting and suffered wounds that should have killed him. Bleeding out and unable to continue, he spent what he believed were his final moments staring at the battlefield around him.
Then someone found him.
A stranger, impossibly calm amidst the destruction, offered Marcus a choice: to allow his story to end there, or to continue beyond the limits of mortal life. Marcus, unwilling to let everything he had seen vanish into nothingness, accepted.
When Marcus awoke as Kindred, the battlefield was silent. The war continued without him, the world moved forward, and he was left with a single purpose: to preserve the things time would inevitably try to erase.
Childe
Although Marcus makes extensive use of ghouls and retainers, Leo is Marcus's only childe.
Marcus did not embrace Leo for power, politics, or legacy. He embraced him because he found him beautiful. Leo represented everything Marcus believed worth preserving: youth, creativity, passion, and reckless joy.
Their personalities could not be more different. Marcus is controlled, Leo is chaos. Marcus is a museum, Leo is a concert. Marcus is refinement, Leo is stumbling out of a club missing half his clothes. Yet they are both hanging on each other, kissing in public, looking at no one but each other, missing each other when gone for more than a day. Despite having countless lovers over the centuries, Leo remains the one person Marcus never truly replaces. Marcus is deeply protective (re:possessive and jealous) of Leo, while Leo remains one of the few people capable of teasing the Primogen without consequence.
Convictions
Beauty deserves preservation.
The past should never be forgotten.
Knowledge is more valuable than power.
Everything worth loving deserves to be remembered.
Touchstones
His Collection
Marcus's antiques remind him that people leave behind pieces of themselves. Every artifact is proof that something existed and mattered.
Leo
Leo is the strongest connection Marcus has to humanity, dragging him out of the sort of jaded ennui elders tend to experience back into something more stable.8
Despite seeing him as something precious, Marcus genuinely loves the chaos and life Leo brings into his existence.
Haven
Marcus resides with Leo in a Painted Lady Victorian whose windows have all been blacked out against the sun. To outsiders it appears entirely mundane. Inside, it resembles a private museum.
Every room displays centuries of carefully acquired treasures: Renaissance paintings, butterfly specimens, antique clocks, marble sculptures, Victorian furniture, Persian carpets, rare books, jewelry, porcelain, silverwork, and curiosities collected from across Europe and America. Hidden vaults beneath the house safeguard his rarest acquisitions.
His bedroom is immaculate, decorated in rich crimson fabrics, dark wood, candles, luxurious cushions, and fresh flowers that are replaced nightly by devoted ghouls. The only room that resists his careful order is Leo's, a chaotic explosion of tapes, records, radios, and mismatched clothes that Marcus complains about constantly. Leo doesn't even sleep in there, he sleeps in Marcus's bed.
Proprietor of Lefebvre Antiques
Marcus owns and operates one of the city's smaller out-of-the-way antique shops.
To mortals it is an exclusive boutique specializing in rare European imports. To Kindred it serves as neutral ground, discreet meeting place, information exchange, and occasional source of unusual relics. Marcus's reputation as both an expert appraiser and a collector of the extraordinary attracts visitors from every corner of undead society.
Marcus relies heavily on his ghouls to manage the shop during the day-to-day, maintain his collections, and handle the mundane aspects of business. He treats them as valuable assets. Well cared for when useful, but ultimately possessions in his eyes.
Predator Type
Siren
Marcus feeds through attraction, fascination, and intimacy. He prefers willing victims who are drawn to him rather than those forced into submission. Or one of his many ghouls.
Ambition
To preserve the world's forgotten beauty and ensure that nothing truly extraordinary disappears.
Character Bio, Leo Camburn, Malkavian
Basic Information
Full Name: Leo Camburn
Clan: Malkavian
Generation: 8th
Sect: Camarilla
Apparent Age: 24
Actual Age: Late 60s
Date of Birth: 1958
Embraced: 1982
Sire: Marcus
Pronouns: He/Him (Cis male)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Relationship status: open, but never exclusive. He will always return to Marcus.
Nationality: American
Height: 5'9"
Physical Description
Leo is... eccentric. His chin-length hair is dyed a vivid red over naturally black roots, always kept as bright and even as possible. His most striking feature is his heterochromia: his right eye is an icy blue while his left is fire orange.
His wardrobe is an eclectic mix of vinyl jackets, patched denim, faded band shirts, old combat boots, oxford loafers he stole from his sire, thrift-store fur coats, and costume jewelry collected over decades. He always wears mismatched socks, in both style and length.
His Beast rarely shows itself physically. Instead, people often report hearing faint static, distant music, or whispers when standing close to him.
Derangement/powers
Leo's derangement is less an obvious behavioral quirk (besides his whimsy, I suppose lmao) than it is an all-consuming connection to the Madness Network. The Cobweb never leaves him.
He constantly hears countless voices layered beneath ordinary sound. Running water, radio static, humming fluorescent lights, old televisions, passing trains, even wind through trees. Where most would be overwhelmed by the noise, Leo has spent decades learning to navigate it.
Marcus's potent Vitae mixed with the effects of the shrooms he was on left Leo with unusually strong bond to the madness that permeates his clan. His Auspex developed rapidly after the Embrace. He specializes almost exclusively in Auspex.
His talents include:
• Reading emotions effortlessly.
• Experiencing vivid flashes of potential futures.
• Psychic communication across remarkable distances.
• Walking dreamscapes.
• Interpreting prophetic symbolism.
• Listening directly to the Madness Network.
His signature ability is functioning as a living psychic operator. If two Malkavians know Leo (or if Leo knows them, and he knows basically everyone) he can often facilitate conversations through the Cobweb itself, acting as a relay between otherwise distant minds. Some jokingly call him "The Switchboard" For this particular power.
Personality
Leo is impossible to dislike for long. He laughs easily, makes terrible puns and jokes, treats neonates and elders with equal friendliness, and is willing to meet anyone on any level.
He approaches immortality less as a curse than an exceptionally different way to exist. He's remarkably emotionally intelligent despite his inherent flippancy. He rarely raises his voice, rarely grows angry, rarely loses hope.
Instead, he simply keeps talking. And talking. Annnd talking. He'll give anyone the time of day. Kine, Camarilla, Sabbat, Anarchs, Werewolves, Witches, Random Death Cults, Second Inquisition. If you'll listen, and even better if you'll talk back, he'll spend hours doing so. This tends to annoy most of the court people he's around, so they set up the radio station to give him something productive to talk at instead of them.
Mortal Life
Leo Camburn never intended to become anything.
Growing up in a working-class neighborhood, he was bright, funny, and endlessly curious, but completely allergic to long-term planning. He drifted through community college before dropping out, insisting he'd "figure something out eventually."
What he figured out instead was the local nightlife.
By twenty-four he worked the daytime shipping department of a warehouse, a repetitive dead-end job loading trucks and sorting freight. He spent the nights in whatever club would take him.
The work paid barely enough for rent. Enough for concert tickets. Enough for drinks. Enough for drugs. Enough for another weekend.
Every paycheck disappeared almost immediately into clubs, live shows, record stores, parties, and whatever substances happened to circulate among his ever-changing circle of friends.
Leo wasn't an addict so much as an enthusiast. If life offered an experience, he wanted it. Psychedelics, Cocaine, Ecstasy, Road trips with total strangers. Three-day bender parties that ended watching the sunrise from rooftops.
The Embrace
In the summer of 1982, Leo wandered into an underground club after finishing another soul-numbing shift at the warehouse. By sunrise he'd lost track of how many drinks he'd had, how many lines he'd done, and how many mushrooms he'd eaten. The music felt alive, lights bled into impossible colors, and reality dissolved into one endless dance floor. Somewhere in the crowd he met Marcus. Leo barely remembers actually speaking to him, only laughing as Marcus spun him through song after song until the rest of the club seemed to disappear.
The fragments that remain are dreamlike: Marcus leading him into a quiet back room, stolen kisses, wandering hands, getting pressed into the ripped leather of a couch, whispered promises that sounded more like poetry than conversation. Leo remembers thinking he must still be hallucinating when Marcus bared his fangs. He died believing it was simply the mushrooms carrying him into one final, beautiful delusion.
Convictions
• Beauty should be shared, never hoarded.
• Everyone deserves to have someone listen to them.
• Hope is worth preserving, even when the future looks bleak.
Touchstones
The Nightlife Community
Though the individual faces have changed over the decades, Leo remains deeply attached to local musicians, bartenders, club owners, and artists. Watching new generations discover music and one another reminds him of the life he once lived.
Marcus
However complicated their relationship may be, Marcus is the anchor that has kept Leo grounded through decades of hearing the Cobweb. Few Kindred would name their sire as a touchstone for their humanity, but Leo's affection for Marcus is genuine, and Marcus's pride in his only childe has never wavered. They are disgustingly constantly physically affectionate with each other, hanging off of each other, kissing in public with tongue, leaning into each others' space. when Marcus spends too long away, Leo will contact him over the cobweb just to talk.
Haven
Leo resides with Marcus in a Painted Lady Victorian whose windows have all been blacked out against the sun. To outsiders it appears entirely mundane. Inside, it resembles a private museum.
Every room displays centuries of carefully acquired treasures: Renaissance paintings, butterfly specimens, antique clocks, marble sculptures, Victorian furniture, Persian carpets, rare books, jewelry, porcelain, silverwork, and curiosities collected from across Europe and America. Hidden vaults beneath the house safeguard Marcus's rarest acquisitions.
His bedroom is a chaotic explosion of tapes, records, radios, and mismatched clothes that Marcus complains about constantly. Leo doesn't even sleep in there, he sleeps in Marcus's bed.
Predator Type
Osiris
Leo naturally gathers people around him. His broadcasts, charisma, and presence in the city's nightlife make feeding through willing admirers and listeners far easier than hunting through violence.
Ambition
To become the voice that keeps Kindred connected. Not through politics or power, but by ensuring no lonely vampire ever has to feel like they have no one they can speak to.
oh don't mind me sir, just hold that pose
