Roger Curtis
the Ghoul's Advocate
Roger Curtis
Roger rejects the commonly used appellation for his clan. No vampire should be called “Lord,” he feels, because that title should be reserved for God only. Deeply devout, Roger spurned The Lancea Sanctum because he believes (as he did in life) that organized religion is counter to the true teachings of Christ. An advocate for equal rights, Roger has made it his mission to make sure that Ghouls are allowed to live their lives as mortals as well as serving the Kindred. Sometimes, this means a vampire must actually bind more Ghouls so as to spread out the work, but Roger, a ghoul before his Embrace, feels that the benefits of being a ghoul outweigh the drawbacks in most cases.
Roger is young, only five years from his Embrace, but that also means he is well in tune with the mortal side of the city. He has become a kind of folk hero to the Ghouls of the city’s Kindred, and is constantly trying to push the city’s governing Kindred into passing laws against the ill-treatment of these blood servants. He recognizes that because of The Vinculum, many Ghouls would never describe their relationships as “abusive,” but this is just one more unique hurdle to overcome.
