Theodosius, known as the Keeper of Secrets. Theo, though instrumental in the formation of The Conclave of Nine has always remained an outcast and pariah until recent years. Once an arcane scholar from Constantinople, Theo ventured out into the vastness of the Asian Steppes in the search for Attila the Hun's funeral horde. Not to glory in its riches but to find items of arcane significance to add to his ever growing library.
Instead he found the Mongol horde and the vampires among them. Their undead leader Monkhbat made him immortal and together they journeyed back to the very gates of Constantinople, the greatest city on earth.
There he met with the vampires of the city, known as The Trinity and helped forge their alliance with The Children of Lamia. But Theo always craved power for himself and his ideals clashed with those of the new sect. The creature known as The Keeper disappeared from the city of his birth and crawled into some filthy hole until Edda, last of the Trinity pulled him back out again some 500 years later.
