Dorian Adams is the classic stereotype of a vampire popularized by Bram Stoker's Dracula - so much so, in fact, that other Kindred struggle to believe that he could possibly be for real. He seldom appears at court, but when he does, it's in a full antiquated suit and satin cape, with a thick Transylvanian accent, deeply-seated eyes that may or may not be enhanced by makeup, and a jeweled cane that he may or may not actually need to move around comfortably. He also seems to have a penchant for chasing young, beautiful women around in a caricature of leering interest, and for disdaining everyone who is younger than himself - which, he seems certain, is practically everyone (except for maybe the Prince, depending on the evening).

Biography

Although Clan Ventrue is justifiably proud of its ancient bloodlines and carefully-traced lineages, if they know where Dorian came from, no one has yet mentioned it. He has been in Washington DC since its founding, making him at least three hundred years old, but he claims to be far older, and to hail from Transylvania, where he says the "beautiful curse" was laid upon him as a punishment for his sins against God.

Whether Dorian has actually forgotten the circumstances of his mortal life or just refuses to tell anyone about them is up for debate; many Kindred point out his eccentricities as proof that he must be addled and likely has no idea where he came from, while others think he must just be so old and canny that he has perfected the art of convincing everyone else of his madness. Either way, anyone who has ever tried to point out inconsistencies in his persona or the cliches in his behavior has met with a blank stare or a seamless changing of the subject.
