<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Born in the 1900s near Detroit, MI, James grew up idolizing Harry Houdini. By the time he was sixteen, he was practicing card tricks and other slight of hand forms of prestidigitation, making a small living to help his family. His mother grew ill and died of pneumonia not long after, or so James thought. His father grew obsessed, claiming something about a secretive cult that had murdered her. It drove his father to madness and then suicide. This led James to attempt to debunk these so-called cults. Unfortunately for him, his investigations led him to the local Tremere chantry. 
Before he could investigate the premises to closely, he heard a man tell him to go home. It seemed a wise course of action, so he did. To his astonishment, his mother was there, waiting. She explained that she was given a choice, to kill him or to bring him to work for the vampires that she was now one of. 
James, of course, took the logical choice. 
While not schooled by or embraced by his mother, she was present for some of his studies and there during his embrace. 
James moved around the country after his acknowledgment, assisting in preserving the masquerade. As of late, he's been a citizen of Peoria, IL, and once served as seneschal. Now he tours America where he can, delighting courts with his stage show.

'''Alias(es): '''
None that are known publically.

'''Real Name: '''
Byron Gautier

'''Apparent Age: '''
Twenty-eight

'''Concept: '''
A political think tank, originally, now Phantom of the Opera.

'''Physical description:'''
While unmasked, Byron looks to be about a charred up corpse but a usually well dressed one. He, more often than not, carries a "Phantom of the Opera" style half mask and is almost always seen with a guitar case that holds either an acoustic Gibson or Cordoba Hauser Spruce Top Classical Guitar (though, on rare occasion, it houses a Fender Stratocaster that was custom ordered).

While masked, Byron bears a faint resemblance to Humphrey Bogart.

'''Detailed Status: '''
Acknowledged, Admired, Influential, Loyal, Revered (As Primogen) 

<h2>Character Information</h2>

==Known History==
Born in the bayou not far from Slidell, LA, Byron Gautier moved to the west coast to pursue an acting career in the mid-1920s. With the advent of the "talkies", he was looking forward to showing off his musical talents when fate intervened. A ghoul jealous that he'd not been chosen to be embraced by his Toreador sire sabotaged Byron's Model A then tried to burn him alive. The Toreador was so shaken by Byron's appearance that he declined to embrace him and accepted a trade with the local nosferatu who'd noted Byron's dealing with local politics. So, instead of becoming a rose, Byron became a Nosferatu. His appearance changed little.

Byron, surprisingly, holds little enmity for the Toreador and, due to a recent encounter with Archon Incisus, has flourished in his artistic talent.
