<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==

Embraced in Europe sometime in the last century, Jon-Apolo is a recent transplant to the United States. Why he was embraced into Clan Tremere is a matter of conjecture, as his physical appearance sets him apart from the majority of his clan. His congenial and affable nature further distinguishes him from his clan-mates, and makes him popular in the social circles of the Camarilla.

Jon-Apolo is known to be a rake, scoundrel and a womanizer. His often scandalous behavior, while amusing to the Camarilla at large, has made him unpopular within his own clan. Despite his clan’s disapproval (or perhaps because of it), he is often overheard chiding his clan about their aloof and secretive nature, and their lack of social graces.

In early 2011, many Kindred noticed a pronounced change come over Jon-Apolo. His normally devil-may-care attitude was replaced by a quiet, brooding melancholy. Whispers in Elysium speculate that he was deeply shaken by the death of longtime ally and friend [[Jakob Phuridae]]. Darker rumors yet hint that he was tainted by encounters with malefic spiritual entities, or that he hunts mortals for some perverse pleasure. Whatever the cause, his actions have given many Kindred cause for worry .... but not for long. Befitting his mercurial nature, Jon-Apolo overcame whatever anxiety had plagued him, and began to concentrate on assisting Prince [[Desmond "Dizzy" Lockhardt]] in the demands of running a large domain.

At the July 2011 Global Conclave held in Columbus, Ohio, Jon-Apolo, along with [[Kate Davidson]], was appointed moderator for the Conclave debate.

To the chagrin of many (including himself), Jon-Apolo was appointed Archon to His Avian Excellency, Justicar [[Cock Robin]], at the MidWinter Celebration in January 2012. Shortly thereafter, he survived an assassination attempt by an infernally resurrected [[Kaylin Winters aka Hikaru | evil bitch]].

At the July 2013 Global Conclave held in Columbus, Ohio, Jon-Apolo was among those Tremere who identified the killer of Archon (and his longtime friend) [[Kate Davidson]].

Sometime in 2015, Jon-Apolo was released from his service as Archon by then-Justicar Cock Robin of Clan Nosferatu. Thereafter, Jon-Apolo was not present in any Domain in the United States for several years.

At the MidWinter Conclave in 2022 in the Greater Chicago-Milwaukee Domain, Jon-Apolo reappeared in Kindred Society, albeit slightly quieter and reserved. Chatter among gossips, such at the Harpies and the Toreador, seems to indicate that Jon-Apolo went through a life-changing experience, but what that was, only Jon-Apolo knows.

At the MidWinter Conclave in 2024 in the Greater Chicago-Milwaukee Domain, Jon-Apolo was tapped to become one of the two Tremere Archons for the newly-minted Justicar of Clan Assamite, General Tegyrius.

==Rumors==
 That's not even his hat!
 Shanghai Kelly didn't get his name for being a famous trader, but rather, for that being the city he picked up most of his STDs.
 Shanghai Kelly keeps getting beat by the Chicken Hawk. It's embarrassing, but he keeps trying.
 Likes to shanghai kindred from San Francisco under Prince Virgil Deems.
 Shanghai doesn't hate Kuei Jin because of their strange powers or the war--but he's got horrible memories of some bad sweet-and-sour chicken.
 Shanghai is offering three major boons as a dowry to marry [[Virgilia Two-Tails]] so he doesn't have to deal with her anymore.
 Fucked a Nos, her sire came in and threatened a shotgun wedding... and Shanghai ran away.
 Rumored to be secret lovers with: [[Elissa Maxwell]],[[Hugo Valentine]], [[Cock Robin]], and [[Virgil Deems]].
 Cock Robin hates Shanghai because the Gangrel can lay a bigger egg.
 Shanghai secretly propositioned Cock Robin, but has been denied many times... with a "Cluck No!!!"
 Shanghai is an Archon because he lost a poker game to Art Morgan, who was high at the time. The original bet entailed giving up his hat, and when he wouldn't do that, Art made him an archon, instead, as punishment.
 Shanghai has the coping skills of a five year old needing a Ritalin fix!
 Receives a lot of complaints about the San Francisco Furry Community.
 Has been caught openly trying to seduce the Scourge of San Francisco.
 Was given the San Diego zoo as a gift from [[Jessica Kesch]]
 Decorated all of the feeders in the San Diego with a picture with [[Preston Jonas DeWinter]] likeness.

 Humor aside, Prior to becoming a Camarilla Archon, Shanghai Kelly was known for running a Kindred only poker game at major elysia events. Every game, in order to ensure no cheaters sat at the table, Kelly would make each Kindred swear on a Bone of Lies that they would not use any of their disciplines or any form of cheating at the table. Anyone who would not accede to this was not allowed a seat at the table.

 In the final hand of one such card game, Kelly beat a member of the West Coast DMH with The Infamous Real "Dead Man's Hand" held by Wild Bill Hickcock when he was gunned down by John McCall. Upon turning over the cards, Kelly cried out, "There ya Damn Poser, THERE is the REAL Dead Man's Hand." before raking in all the chips with a surly grin.

 Barely survived an intense battle between his sideburns and Chuck Norris's beard.
