Francisco Domingo de Polonia

History Past Era Born in Spain in the late 1560s, Polonia came to the New World as a stalking horse for Juan de Oñate's expedition into Mexico (specifically, in what is now New Mexico). Having proven his worth over the course of the (failed) mission, Polonia was Embraced by Anton de Concepcion in 1600. To his chagrin, the sunburn that Polonia was suffering from at the time of his Embrace has stayed with him through the centuries that followed, a fact that draws his anger whenever a neonate is foolish enough to mention it. Polonia was trained in tactics, leadership and tailored to be one of the best generals in the Sabbat's army by the legendary Lasombra Don Medina Sidonia of the Spanish Armada fame. Under his tutelage, Polonia rose quickly within the ranks of the sabbat. In 1761, Gorchist appointed Polonia to the rank of Archbishop in the burgeoning city of New York, earning Polonia the ire of Ecaterina the Wise and the other sitting Bishops of New York. Other Bishops were appointed under Polonia in the years to come, notably Radu Bistri, who stayed only long enough to help Gorchist end the Civil War via the Purchase Pact and never amassed the local influence — or the desire — to challenge Polonia's authority. Current Era In 1999 Polonia was elevated to rank of Cardinal by then regent Melinda Galbraith. This was a reward for his campaign along the east coast which saw much success in gaining new ground for the sabbat as well as finally claiming Manhattan for the Sabbat in the early 90s. The early 2000s New York came under attack by the Camarilla as they attempted to seize the assest of Wall Street. Twice the Camarilla tried and twice Polonia was able to push them back. Since then Polonia has reigned as Cardinal from his crown jewel city of New York uncontested. Now a war hero and beloved comrade in arms, many Sabbat consider Polonia in the same light as Alexander the great.	Error creating thumbnail: File missing
