I cracked and made my very own self indulgent self insert. Marius Anderson. They're part of the Brotherhood of Saint Paul's Stole and very autistic about Skals as they are the object of their study. Talk about them about Skal and you're in for a very heated entirely one sided conversation. Came from Sweden to London in the midst of the pandemic because they heard from Edgar there seemed to be an outbreak of Skals.

Never seen without their big coat as its thickness help mitigate damage and also because when their face is covered (which it is while on a hunt at night) it is hard to tell what gender they are. Often makes them mistaken for being a part of Guard of Priwen by locals and vampires, though would be absolutely horrified if you suggested that. They are doing this to study vampires! Not kill them! The Guard themselves think of them as a nuisance but not harmful.

During in-game they have a level 4 Willpower and is present in the Docks. Showing up at Pembroke after Sean leaving to excitedly grill the staff for details before trying to find Sean themself, only to get lost and need rescuing because they got distracted trying to talk to feral Skals and being hopelessly outnumbered. After Jonathan saves them they gracefully ask for his blood as to try again a different time.

The next night Marius will be found lurking outside the Night Shelter as Ichabod won't let them inside for being too obviously suspicious but they become friends trading stories of vampires (Marius being too excited talking about Skals. Ichabod being glad that someone -even if that person is a bit mad- believes him.) Depending on the choice of what to do with Sean they will either successfully get their interview (Turn), be forced to relocate (Spare), or wistfully blaming Jonathan (Embrace).

If Marius is Embraced they laugh and say "I thought I'd be smarter than fall for this. Truly thought I could make a change in this world." The loot would be their syringe (off-hand blood weapon, takes a lot of stamina but the blood gained is significant), an incomplete essay about Skal, ink pen and watery blood.

Yes I did write the essay I know you weren't asking but this was the idea that birthed Marius.
