Thurman served as the Sheriff of the Domain, enforcing the Prince's rule as the long arm of Kindred law. He lacks the tough-guy, brutish appearance of the typical Brujah or Gangrel Sheriff, and seems more the type to work with his brain, applying force with more precision and accuracy than a short-fused Brujah might.

For his part, Thurman was evidently not Embraced in the prime of his youth, and he is not an exceptionally handsome fellow, either. Even so, he radiates a sort of genteel charm, the sort of courtly manners more appropriate to a gentleman from a century or two ago. On the other hand, this fits right in with the antiquated society of the Kindred.

Since the bomb fell on the city and order among the city's Kindred broke down, Thurman has taken it upon himself to restore the chain of command by any means necessary...with himself at the top, of course. Placing his warband of ex-Anarchs and malcontent Ventrue in direct opposition to the nominal Prince of the city, he's started a conflict that only one side can possibly win.

The return of the Gangrel, however, throws a wrench into this already volatile situation...much as they did when they first arrived in Seattle. Perhaps Thurman can find a use for the Gangrel -- or vice-versa.
