Tarquinus Rareş

An immortal who showed up in Sărata one day and asserted himself. The sire of Iwin, Fabien and Andreas; and caretaker for Sebastian.

Tarquinus Rareş, known more commonly simply as "Tarquin", is a fop, a dandy, and a popinjay. He is always gracefully ostentatious, wearing a different sumptuous outfit every day and drawing the gaze of everyone he meets. He is slim and graceful, with almost androgynously beautiful facial features: long silver lashes, high cheekbones and arresting red eyes. His silver hair is usually bound in a ponytail that reaches to his hips; he carries a mahogany cane with a gold lion's head; and his symbol, the golden ivy, can usually be found somewhere on his clothing.

Tarquin is glamourous and unashamedly camp. He likes to have things his own way: with the camera on him or his "pets". He is known for "collecting" "employees", having a very large following of companions and childer. He takes entertainment from drawing people to him and being adored, and from collecting people with unique talents or personalities. He subscribes to the Phallian way of life enthusiastically, happily biting/fucking anyone "interesting", male, female, or other. Though at times he can seem ditzy or air headed, he is a competent organiser and entrepreneur.

As for his origins, Tarquinus was born in West Darkovia around 850 years into the reign of King Vladimir III Bălaurul, the Tyrant. He was bitten by Alexandria Rareş, a staunch follower of the king's policies concerning humans (or rather, lack thereof). From her, Tarquinus picked up a love of torture and sex. He enjoyed being his sire's favoured sex toy, and gleefully partook in mass murder on her behalf; but also began his collecting of interesting individuals. Tarquin and Alexandria fell out with each other after she killed some of his "pets" before he was finished with them, and Tarquinus left her house and moved North. Shortly after their disagreement, Seraphina overthrew her father and Vladimir was executed. During the upheaval, Tarquinus moved to a new town, began introducing himself as "Tarquin", and used the golden ivy, his human family crest, rather than the Rares lion. He used what money he had to buy several properties that increased in value and pursued his interest of collecting interesting companions, minus the torture. He ingratiated himself with the lower levels of the Queen's court, and expanded his estate considerably to five mansions and several dozen business ventures. Now he is a respected noble, known to be in the queen's good books.
