ANATOLE

ANATOLE:  Generation 10th (Originally) Generation 6th (via Diablerie) Clan Malkavian
Spiritual in life and a religious fanatic in undeath (he follows the Road of Heaven and possesses True Faith), Anatole has had visions of Gehenna for most of his existence. He originally sought to guide vampires to fulfil their part of God's plan, but in the Final Nights he acts more as a prophet of doom.
Anatole has comitted diablerie on many occasions, seeking to gain the knowledge of others. His last victim, Octavio, was a willing one; he wished to pass on his burden of being the mouthpiece of the demon Kupala. The remnants of Octavio's soul persist within the Malkavian's mind, whispering secrets of Gehenna, and the demon now speaks through Anatole.
The process of Diablerie can sometimes back fire if the mind is a weak one, by consuming the Essence of kindred one can have split personalities, the original Vampire and the just Diablerized one or worse, the original vampire is destroyed by the more powerful mind.

While second to his friend Beckett as a Gehenna scholar, Anatole possesses unique insights and seeks to rid himself of his own demons by finding the truth behind vampiric existence.
It is strange to find Mortals with True Faith, the power to repel the creatures of the night, and to find it in a creature of the Damned is stranger still. Clan Malkavian is always regarded with mistrust and fear, you never know what to expect from Kindred of Clan Malkavian.
