Biography[]
As a mortal[]
Roman Pendragon was born in 1683 CE, the third son of a wealthy landowner in eastern England. Pendragon joined the British Army and fought in the campaigns of the War of Spanish Succession.
He advanced quickly through the officer ranks. His leadership qualities, combined with a ruthless persistence and a Machiavellian approach to politics, were rewarded often and well by his superiors. It was no secret that he was being groomed for a top seat in Parliament. However, his political dreams in the mortal world were never to materialize in the manner he had planned.
During a period of rest and relaxation in Switzerland, the young infantry captain met his sire. She was as beautiful as she was merciless, and it is very likely that Pendragon's ruthless nature attracted her to him. On August 12th, 1703, Pendragon was Embraced by Dark Selina, a wicked vampiress with worldly ambitions.
As a Cainite[]
It took Pendragon more than 60 years to mature to the point where Selina felt she could introduce him into Kindred society as a force to be reckoned with. Her scheming helped Pendragon climb the social and political ladder of Kindred society in Switzerland, but he was unhappy there and yearned to return to his native England. Selina, however, forbade him to leave her. Although Roman was Blood Bound to her, he had not tasted her blood in years, and the control of the Bond faded. On the eve of Selina's bid for princedom in Zurich, Roman attacked and drank her into torpor and left to conquer his homeland. During the next century, Pendragon became the most prominent Brujah in England. However, his plans faltered when many of his Brujah supporters betrayed him out of fear of his ambitions. He was forced out of Britain in 1885 and fled back to Switzerland with his brood.
