Prince: The Speaker (Ventrue/Vocatis; Invictus).
The Speaker is an ancient vampire, originally a Dutch scholar with a talent for languages. He was Embraced by a Venture warlord and deployed as an emissary and sometime-spy. In the 1500s, while working with John Dee, he encountered magi for the first time, thorough their writings. He became fascinated with Atlantean and other purported languages of power. In time, his researche dallowed him to tap into some of that power, creating the Discipline of Vox, and founding for himself the Vocatis bloodline.
The Speaker, whose name is long lost, is a master of nearly every language known to humans. He is certainly a master of every European, Asian, Middle Eastern and North American language known to have existed, and several that were born, used and died out with little or no recording he has mastered a variety of hand languages as well, plus some other unique methods of communication, such as the Maori facial gesture language.
The Speaker is old now, and should be in the depths of torpor right now. However, a year ago, he felt the approach of an entity of great power and hunger. In his slumber, he interpreted this as an other vampire of great age and, with difficulty, roused himself from his slumber in order to defend his domain. It turned out to be nothing of the sort, but shortly thereafter, the mages of New York disappeared.
Now, he remains half-in and half-out of his slumber, interested in what is happening. He has not made his reasons for remaining awake clear to any – his childer, the Lords of New York, are more than a little nervous by the development to say the least.
The Speaker is ancient and withered, more of a parchment-skinned mummy than a man. He is pushed about in a wheelchair by a ghoul with Down’s Syndrome, shaven bald. Beside him walks a little boy, some seven years of age or so, also bald, who holds tightly to the Speaker’s hand. The Speaker mentally speaks into the boy’s psyche, and the boy speaks on his behalf, couching his speech in a slightly British accent, in the Royal “We.”
