A childe of wealth and privilege, Melanie was well suited to join the ranks of the Ventrue. First a connossieur of wine, after the Embrace she turned her attention to the Blood itself, furnishing the Kindred of Seattle with new and interesting...refreshments...with which to while away eternity.

Then the Sabbat came, sending the majority of the Ventrue Clan into Final Death. The Sheriff saw to her survival during torpor, but she awoke to find the city in the hands of Pietro and not a capable Ventrue. And what once was a fairly useless socialite of the Ventrue began training to help Thurman take back the domain.

Though she still has a ready smile and a charming disposition, Melanie also possesses a drive to see the plans of her cousin in blood, Thurman, through. Having been raised under the leadership of her great-grandsire, the former Prince Christopher Talbot, she's now as obsessed with bringing Pietro down as she once was captivated by the subtle flavors of vitae.
