General Information
Connor Varrick is the perfect assistant and bodyguard. With almost a zealot's devotion to the Circle of the Crone, in the aspect of the Morrigan, Connor has served the Crone with diligence and ruthlessness since 1820, where he was embraced by noted Crone Helen Essex. Connor is of Prussian/German royal breeding and was raised in both the Rhineland of what is now Germany and in the Northern Alps of Italy. Not much is known about his mortal life other than he became a master of the rapier in both the German and Italian styles.
Under her care he was fostered into the zealot he is today and became her "right hand", doing anything she desired, from outright assassination to seducing the favored vessel of a rival. He broke ranks with his sire around World War II where he desired to fight against the Nazi's in a rare show of nostalgia to his mortal days. He was cast out of his sire's house and his name stricken from the annuls of that house. Once the war was over, Connor ventured to America where he took residence in the South East US. He wandered as a nomad for over fifty years when he decided that either his time of penance is over or he wished to find a new home. Connor came to Tampa at the call of Violet of the Nosferatu. He quickly resumed his place the perfect assistant and bodyguard to his dark mistress and would gladly follow any request of hers.
That was then, this is now. Connor has gone through a crisis of faith and does not know who he follows. Rumor even has it that he was violent with his heirophant. The recent gathering in Atlanta (Dragon*Con) showed him in disheveled atire and a listless gait. He blew off meetings of Clan and Covenant, and was seen most of the time with his cards, a habit he has never before demonstrated. Later in the event he was seen in private conversation with Kaelen MacBrena and Madame Latour. This has led Connor away from his Guardian role and more into the role of Sybil in Tampa. The visions he has been recieving have only gotten more frequent over time.
After the deaths of Vermiis, Wise, and Crone's Teeth, Connor looks to be stepping out of Outsider status and into the workings of the Central Florida covens. He seeks to rebuild from the loss of three Hierophants. To facilitate this, Connor has stepped into Fatherhood from his life as an outsider, a role more appropriate to his standing and role in the Crone.
