Vincent Rose Blackburn was abandoned by their foster father in the woods on their 18th birthday, and thus Rose had to learn to fend for themselves.
Rose found a new family with a drug dealer, a dancer and a grad student. When Rose wasn’t working as a server, he would bust some heads in underground MMA fights.
One of those fights caught the eye of a recruiting Gangrel who needed more scrappy folks like Rose to join in the Night War. After stalking Rose for the night, the Gangrel embraced him.
Rose was forced to leave all that they had known, including their found family and even their dog, to wander the night alone . . . staying in crypts or abandoned garages during the daytime.
Rose eventually did find others of their kind and made a name for themselves as a skilled combatant in the Battle of Bowie when he personally felled several Sabbat, including the ductus.
Rose was made a lieutenant of the S’eth Adar of the Camarilla of the Domain of Georgetown and patrolled the streets at night with the Malkavian Prentiss to fix problems . . . one way or another.
Rose is a well-respected officer of the S’eth Adar and generally gets along with most Kindred: even those he truly hates, like his partner Prentiss.

Special Abilities: Rose is an excellent fighter (and was, even before death), with both preternatural gifts and practiced skill. Rose is an accomplished tracker with keen senses and training.
Weaknesses: Rose has the Clan weakness of animalistic features becoming more prominent following frenzy. He began unlife with vaguely glowing eyes and a frenzy has left him with wolf-like ears. Both of these traits, they do their best to hide. Rose is also susceptible to blind rage and thus must guard against frenzy more than most and must watch the lunar cycle.
