Sarah Cobbler

Sarah Cobbler was born to privilege, and received opportunity for education far beyond what most women of her day were allowed. In life, Sarah was a scientist. Her field was the human mind, and she specialized in anger and impulse, trying to find the root of human rage. She learned what rage truly was one night when she found herself caught between two Kindred locked in frenzy. One finally fought the other off, but by that time Sarahs throat had been torn open and she lay dying.

The winner of the fight Embraced her, perhaps out of guilt, perhaps out of gratitude. Her Morbus heritage surfaced only a scant year after her Embrace, and Sarah, fascinated by her undead body's ability to hold and manipulate disease, honed this Discipline to near mastery. Over the years, Sarah lost touch with her sire, drifted in and out of New Orleans, and found and made friends with her sister, Mezzo. She also joined the Ordo Dracul, excelling at the Coils of the Dragon and challenging the most learned of her sect by applying recent psychological theory to the Kindred condition.

She posited that it was possible to move beyond vampirism mentally, shutting off the urges of the Beast, after which the physical curses would fade. In her heart, though, she fears for her safety if she is correct. If she loses the so-called curses of undeath, the diseases in her blood might kill her, rotting away her flesh. That this has already happened to Mezzo only intensifies her fears. For as much as she appears to be in control, Sarah is afraid for the future, and searching for the next experiment to distract herself. Sarah has labored to understand the effect called the Predators Taint. This is the effect that causes vampires to flee or attack (or at least resist the urge to do so) when they meet other Kindred.

Sarah theorizes that vampires imprint on the first vampires they meet, much like young animals do, and since the first Kindred one meets is typically ones sire, this is why vampires of like clans have similar interests and personalities. She therefore decided to arrange the Embraces of different people into different clans and wipe away their memories, ensuring they would imprint on each other. She hopes this will give her insight into the vampiric condition enough to grow in personal power and status within her covenant.

Sarah changes her appearance as much as she can, dyeing her hair and changing clothes and styles almost nightly, but she almost always wears gold jewelry. She was in her late 20's at the time of her Embrace, and is an attractive if severe looking woman
