x◢ Physical Description: Long hair that billows in the wind; the dark brown color seems almost reminiscent of Gray Wolves. At times the Clan weakness may cause him to adopt animal features, such as tufted ears, fangs, gills, or a tail; usually the man is in well enough control of himself to avoid this. His skin is rather pale, something most Kindred can overcome through use of Vitae, Swan finds this exceedingly difficult as he abandoned his humanity long ago. His nails taper into points, though they aren't always quite the claws he uses to shred flesh. His dress is utilitarian, and can vary depending on his locale, though he favors a multi-purpose long coat and sturdy jeans and shirt.
Equipment & Abilities: In addition to the increased resilience that comes with being a Vampire, Swan's particular bloodline is particularly fond of animals. They learn to control the Beast that exists within themselves, and using this mastery of Beast they learn to communicate with animals, control them, empower them, or even send the wild Beast within him into someone else and causing them to frenzy wildly. By now, the Vampire has almost complete mastery of the beast within him and it's darker urges, and is capable of entering and leaving frenzy at will, putting small bits of it in living things to better control them or see through them, and even possessing many animals at once while still retaining his sense of self. He can also change many aspects of his body, such as turning fully or partially into specific animals, growing webbing or sonar organs, turn into mist, or making his skin harder than diamond. Finally, Swan's bloodline affords him even more resilience than the average Vampire, most weapons breaking on his skin, and a greater penchant to cure wounds most Kindred would find fatal using simple Vitae.
Personality: Most of the Kindred of his Clan are entirely loners; Swan however was never much for the quiet life of a recluse. The boisterous man's presence is only matched by his appetite. Utterly ravenous, he spends most of the days prowling the waters and eating anything he gets his claws on. When dealing with Kine, he is overly patronizing; though he takes care to show necessary respect to anything that might pose a threat, or perhaps provide food further down the road. Furthermore, people that may pose a threat are just as likely to draw his attention as his ire; living in or near the Hidden Cove, the Kindred recruits those he can get his hands on in a bid for growing power.

xxx◢ Historical Background: Swan can't remember much of his human life. It's been so long it's all a faded memory, certain vibrant colors, tastes, or feelings were still there, but so muddled that they barely mattered anymore. His first memory is the Embrace, the painful draw on his neck as he faded to black. When he awoke, there was evidence of a struggle. A revolver and spent bullet casings signaled a fight had occurred; Swan figured he must've tried to kill his attacker. From there he wandered, traveling at night and feeding off what animals he could find. His Sire never revealed himself, but a fellow Vampire from a similar Bloodline took Swan under his wing. The Vampire learned what he could from his Elder and when he felt he could learn no more, he devoured the Elder at the first chance he had. From there Swan began to hoard what power he could; siring as many Kindred as possible in an attempt to create a suitable army. None survived their first night on their own, however, and just when Swan was beginning to lose hope, he sired a Drow named Lavinia. The two proved inseparable for some time while he imparted what he knew to her, and when he felt she could learn no more from him, he left her so that she may grow into a powerful Elder in her own right. Since then he floated slowly downriver, eating all that came before him until he ended in a small Cove frequented by Pirates. During the day the Cove provides ample cover from the sun, and at night the River King can hunt freely in it and the surrounding waters, and he now calls the Cove home. Spreading his Vitae throughout the water has resulted in Aquatic life that is stronger and more vicious than it should be, while also being completely loyal through virtue of the established Blood Bond. It was here that he was approached by the Camarilla's Inner Circle, asking him to serve as Justicar for his Clan. When the Camarilla need him, Swan goes to work.
