Roshan Bayat, Assamite Vizier, diplomat of Alamut I like it! I'm used to that. 8 dot Discipline, huh? That would make him at least 5th Gen... Pretty powerful character to bring in, but not at all unreasonable. Actually, I think he may work out nicely. With your permission, I'd like to use this character (or a variant thereof) in the game.

I like it! I will have to make some adjustments, because they got rid of the Visceratika Discipline in DAV20. With your permission, I think I will be using a variant of Barbas in the game. Of course. Just happy to help.

I've got a character idea if that helps.
Viking Gangrel berserker!
I think the character write itself.
:-P

My offering for a Nosferatu sent by Baba Yaga: Babikova Jelena Nikitovna Born somewhere in the Eastern Russian hinterlands in a small village. She was a pretty child and the village thought she would most likely by a great beauty when she grew up. Growing up she was fascinated by ghost stories, boogeymen stories, and many scary and superstitious things. In her early and most of her mid teens she was beautiful but during a rampage of sickness thru the village around her 16th year a few confused people thought to get rid of the sickness by burning down the infected huts and houses with the sick still inside. Babikova was inside of one of the huts attending to her sick toddler and worrying about when her husband would return with the plants she needed to make a poultice for the child. She heard one of the dogs bark in warning but was too worried about leaving the child's side, so did not notice until it was to late that it was not her husband returning. They quitely rigged the door so that it would not be opened from the inside and started the fire. Her husband hurrying back, urges his horse to move faster when he realizes that there is more smoke than normal billowing above their hut. He arrives and busts the door down in time to pull a badly burned Babikova out but it was too late for their child. Babikova had a slow recovery due to being so grief stricken over the child, and her husband rashly vowed to take vengeance on the ones who murdered their child and hurt so badly his beautiful wife. In his rage he went alone to take on the 4 men who went on the arson spree, while he managed to kill them all he was mortally wounded during the fight and died within a few days. Babikova ater healing physically but stil grieving retreated to a small hut outside of town and threw herself into taking care of all the animals in the area (even mice, squirels, and other not normally liked animals), growing herbs, and staying away from people. A few women would bring her things she couldn't provide for herself (usually clothes, a couple of times a book) and Babikova would in return give some herbs or some hard to grow vegetables or fruit. After a few years Babikova while still saddened by her losses but over with grieving started exploring the area and ranging farther and farther out. Where she crossed paths with another wanderer, who was intrigued by her connection to the plants and animals despite her being mortal. Babikova was in the area because of the rumors of a boogeyman lurking in the area. It didn't take her long to figure out that is was this person, and they had quite a few conversations before they turned her into an immortal like themself. They spent a few years wandering and teaching Babikova many new things until it was time to present Babikova to Baba Yaga herself. She soon found herself a favorite of Baba Yaga's. She is ernest in helping children, especially sick children but she also becomes the representative of Baba Yaga going where Baba Yaga needs her and doing whatever is deemed needed.
Babikova's Sire is in Baba Yaga's line but where will depend on what generation is wanted. I see her as having high animalism, decent potence and obfuscate, maybe also some celerity and/or auspex for disciplines. Also some medical, high occult, some melee (a walking stick), some awareness and alertness, high animal ken.
This is my vision but if you like the concept feel free to tweak it however you need to fit into your game!

Roshan Bayat, Assamite Vizier, Also, he should get the 8-point Quietus power called Blood Awakening that lets him gain insights from the blood of people he touches. Found "Blood Awakening;" it's only 6-dots. Will probably still make him 6th Gen...

There's only a Tremere to go. I'll take a crack at that!
Wenceslaus, born Wacław Mazur, was a merchant's son born and raised in Kraków. Being the second son of three, he was tutored as a scribe by the church, but quickly found employment as a clerk - his keen mind and diligent work a precious resource to envy (or jealously guard) by many a competing merchant house. One of his employers, in a bid to ensure his continued loyalty, introduced him into a society of "Krakoẃ's finest": merchants, nobles, select members of the clergy; all men and of substantial wealth and influence. The lodge bore esoteric trappings with imagery of Smok Wawelski, "The Dragon of Wawel Hill", that legend tell lie beneath the city.
Wacław did embrace his invitation and proved an invaluable resource in the society's efforts, amassing translations and arcane texts with which to enforce their specific claim to power. The work was of no actual consequence, as magick goes, nor would their rites reach any mythical entity sleeping beneath the earth. It was merely your everyday revisionist history-schtick. Nevertheless, the church wouldn't - couldn't have it. Getting the support of Krakóws ruling class was fairly easy, given the secret society's propensity to put the Piast dynasty's claim to power in question. And as such, a dozen heretics were seized and executed in the night, their holdings quickly consumed by rivals, church and state alike, and their conspiracy a mere footnote in history.
Wacław was spared execution, in secret being offered salvation (and more), by the spy that had sold them out. He was surprised to find this traitor, a man of considerable power and influence, being merely a pawn and servant to a complete stranger, wholly unknown to the upper echelons of Kraków society. This stranger whisked him away to a remote stronghold, where he was embraced into clan Tremere, quite literary headhunted for his keen mind and diligent work - not to mention skill in piecing together old, crumbling lore.
Wenceslaus spent arduous years on the bottom of the pyramid, unaccustomed to this lack of privilege and recognition. Burying himself in work proved both an escape and the road to partial acceptance in this strange new unlife. He still lack experience in instantaneous thaumaturgy, yet have amassed an unusual amount and diversity in low level rituals. Never the assertive type, but an exceptional observer, what he lacks in dominate, he makes up for in auspex.
He is regarded as inexperienced by his seniors. However, what little grasp in the region the clan had had, have been obliterated by the Mongol invasion. Given his own background and unique insight into the region, he was selected to be Ceoris' envoy to the Hollow Plains. Unaccustomed to such free reins, and shook by the plunder of his former home, he is hesitant and cautious, with occasional bouts of melancholy. He also can't shake the nagging feeling that he was sent with certain enforced instructions. Instructions he can't remember...
Additional hooks: - Is there a "dragon" sleeping under Wavel Hill; An ancient tzimisce, revered by the pagans of yore, perhaps? *nudge nudge wink wink ejaculate ejaculate* - What orders have been hidden in Wencelaus mind by his superiors? Are there conflicting orders by rival elders? - Is there anything left of his own family; and if so, would he allow himself to pursue a strictly personal agenda in regards to them?
You are of course welcome use this and revise whatever you fancy to your liking.

You definitely have my permission to use her in your game, I am even more excited for the AP to start now! Gutka, the Salt Queen sounds fascinating!

As you say, I may have to tweak a few things to get the character to fit into the setting I have in mind, but it is a very good start. With your permission, I would like to build upon this idea for use in the story.

Have you thought about using any of the Anda bloodline since you have the Mongolian Invasions going on in the background? I have considered it, having read the Dark Ages Clan Novels. Familiar with Qarakh and his ilk. I haven't ruled it out yet.
