Members

Ductus

Michael

Michael 2.jpg
  • Clan: Gargoyle Antitribu
  • Position: Ductus
  • Faction: None
  • Status: 2 (Positional), 0 (Reputational)
  • Background: Michael was the first Gargoyle to be created by the Chantry of Five Boroughs when the Tremere arrived in the city decades ago, and he escaped when the city fell to the Sabbat. Though he possesses the ability to alter his appearance, he refuses to do so because he considers his visage to be angelic in nature. He is bald, with elven ears and slate gray skin. His bat-like wings strike terror into every mortal who sees him, and the tattoos extending from the top of his head down the right side of his torso seem to be tribal in nature. His only clothing is a loin cloth. Despite his hideous countenance, Michael is idealistic, tolerant, and gentle, except where Christianity is involved. He and his pack of Gargoyles defend the precepts of their religion and its followers fervently.


Pack Priest

Gabriel

  • Clan: Gargoyle Antitribu
  • Position: Pack Priest
  • Faction: None
  • Status: 2 (Positional), 0 (Reputational)
  • Background: Serving as the pack priest for the Heavenly Host, Gabriel is determined, frank, and rather informative. He is insightful when it comes to dealing with others' emotional trauma, though he does not seem to have the same capabilities when it comes to himself. Gabriel’s skin is a pinkish-red, and his bat face and long ears give him a bestial expression. His wings are each tipped with a single massive talon, and the golden jewelry he wears over his red and gold-trimmed robes strikes quite the contrast against his stone skin. Similar to Michael, Gabriel refuses to conceal his appearance ever since he escaped the Chantry of Five Boroughs when the Sabbat took the city, and has been watching over it with his pack ever since.


Abbott

Raphael

  • Clan: Gargoyle Antitribu
  • Position: Abbott
  • Faction: None
  • Status: 2 (Positional), 0 (Reputational)
  • Background: The Abbot of the Heavenly Host is a Gargoyle Antitribu known as Raphael. His skin is exceptionally pale, and his extra-long pointed ears combined with the lack of lips or nose, transparent wings, and constant frown would make him perhaps the least likely to be able to provide for the needs of his pack through social interaction if it weren’t for one key factor: Raphael is the only member of his pack willing to masquerade as human. While he shares a similar history with the rest of the Heavenly Host, escaping from the Chantry of Five Boroughs after the Sabbat invasion, he does not believe that he is an angel sent to shepherd mankind, but rather an attendant sent to support his two brothers as they do so. Because he does not consider himself an angel, per se, Raphael allows himself some measure of imperfection in his bearing, which results in his sometimes lazy, simplistic, and introverted behaviors.
