Background
Nikita is very clearly from Russia. The faint accent to his voice gives that away almost immediately. Very few no what exactly he got up to while he was there, though there are certainly some opinions on the subject. What is known about him is that he arrived in the city in the mid 90s and mostly laid low, especially after the massacre at St. Mary's. He steadily worked the background, assisting is fellow Acolytes in the Circle and generally being useful enough to have some understanding that he wouldn't fuck up to hard. He is a business partner in the Starlight Cage, though he primarily focuses on The Oubliette, the underground gambling den located through a backroom and deeper into the underground.
Description
Nikita is a tall man, just about 6 feet tall. He is well built, but not bulky and he carries himself in a fashion that some might call 'regal'. He dhas brown air with hazel eyes and wears a well maintained beard, the sort that might be messy but probably takes a fair amount of effort. He dresses well, but not flashy. But for all the care put into his appearance there is something unsettling about the man, either from the intensity of his gaze or the way he moves that gives away the fact that he is a predator.
Personality
Nikita does not speak overly much, but when he does it caries weight. He has frequently difused altercations in the bar or in his hall with a steady look from his eyes. While he has an easy smile about him, it frequently doesn't reach all the way to his eyes. The man's unnerving to most people that encounter him. But despite that he is an attentive host to those who walk through his doors and there is a level of courtesy that he is capable of displaying. When he wants too.
Roleplaying Hooks
- Care to play a game?(Night Life): The Oubliette is an underground gambling hall, where one can find a variety of games of chance to wile away your time and your money. It's not exactly exclusive, but it's not open to just anyone.
- The Circle(Vampires): Nikita is a member of the Circle of the Crone in good standing. Not quite a member of serious power, but not a fresh alcolyte either. He is always a friend to other Crones that cross his path.
- Unsettling (Any): Nikita's smiles do not reach his eyes. For his high manners and congenial demeanor, still manages to set some ill at ease. There's just something off about the man. (OOC: Aura of Menace, Master of Fright)
