Konrad Markusson

Konrad "Kurt" Markusson is a Main character of the Sanguine Nightmare Chronicles. Kurt is an Independent Gangrel elder who inhabits a self claimed Domain in eastern New Hampshire that includes several acres of forest and beach land.

Kurt generally keeps to himself, wanting nothing more than to simply hunt and dwell in the wilderness. Circumstances, however, continue to draw him into the crimson labyrinth of Kindred politics, most notably his association with Nathan and  Natasha.

Appearance:
Kurt is tall, lean, and muscular, moving at all times with cat like grace. His long black hair, woven with crow feathers, flows down just past his shoulders. Due to a particular volatile frenzy Kurt suffered in 1312 A.D., the crow feathers remain no matter what form he takes. On his chest and upper arms he sports multiple tattoos.

Kurt prefers to wear simple and functional clothing; plain shirts and pants and sturdy boots. His long coat, which he has had for several hundred years, remains in worn but usable shape and has scraps of chain mail woven into its lining.

Personality:
Hard edged and often pragmatic, Kurt does what he has to in order tosurvive; he takes the curse in stride and considers it just another thing to overcome and adapt to. Despite survival being first and foremost above all other considerations, Kurt is a bit of an adherent to the old ways of doing things, remembering fondly the simplicity of his old life.

Kurt follows a lose code of Honor of his own making.
 * Do not steal, unless necessary for survival
 * Do not kill, unless necessary for survival
 * Do not become embroiled in Kindred politics
 * Punish those who reeve the land of it's natural wonders

Prelude:

Current Events
Kurt became involved with the Coterie during the rule of Prince Victoria De'Laross. Two neonates, later revealed to be Nathan Alistar and Natasha Drake, strayed into his domain while pursuing an assignment given to them by Victoria. Though acts of Mercy are something Kurt generally didn't practice, he could relate somewhat to being treated like a pawn by those "claiming" to be your better.
