Cedric Washington, The Kabbalistic Scholar =
Cedric's mystical practice is rooted in Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism, filtered through his background in the Black Hebrew Israelite community. A decade under the Pyramid's thumb sanded down the more identitarian extremes of his ideology, but his origins in occult scholarship remain covenantal. His approach is syncretic and sometimes unorthodox: he reads omens through divine language, studies the Sefer Yetzirah's letters of creation, and practices merkavah mysticism. To more traditional Hermetic practitioners, his methods can seem sideways or even primitive, but he finds his own coherent framework in the Tree of Life and its shadow, the Qliphoth. He sees patterns where others see chaos.
Occult Services
Cedric can read omens about upcoming events or warn about spiritual dangers, help designing or performing rituals, interpret dreams, and give spiritual diagnoses and research assistance and teaching.
The Catch
He's Tremere, so there are always strings attached, and not even by him, not always. First off, he's new to freedom, so he might ask for unusual favors in exchange. His methods are unorthodox, and he's blood bound to his sire and the Pyramid as all Tremere are, so complete confidentiality is never guaranteed.
C-Wash From Third Ward

Cedric is hungry for the pop-up shows, the word-of-mouth house parties, the connections. He's into rap, classical, jazz, soul, and trip-hop, and he plays trumpet and bass.
Mot
Mot was the Canaanite god of death and the Underworld but he's also the Great Devourer, a god with a monstrous mouth and unspeakable hunger. Mot is also the name of his '85 Coupe De Ville because it's the death of his wallet and it eats all his fucking money. It's candy-painted atomic orange and outfitted with standout details like trunk lights that say 'KISS MY ASS'. If you don't notice Cedric, you might notice the car. You'd have to be blind. And deaf - when he drives it, he drives it slow, and he pours out grey tapes at full blast.
