Cedric/Introduction
Recently returning to Houston after some time studying overseas in Austria, Cedric Washington is, ostensibly, working on completing his masters, and he couldn't be happier to be home. Natural, Black, approving, humorous, vaguely reassuring, he is exactly what he wants you to see.
Since his return, he's been finding his footing. More street than bureaucrat, he's been rebuilding connections through music, culture, and the kind of easy charm that makes people forget he's Tremere until it's too late. His authenticity and local knowledge have won him many friends, though few of them know what he really is. He's also been navigating a decade of Houston history he missed entirely, and the weight of a sire who openly resents him. Beneath it all, he seems genuinely devoted to Houston itself - Third Ward specifically - even as he tries to respect the Camarilla establishment, and beyond that, Clan Tremere. As a result, in mere months he's managed to become a familiar face in places most Tremere never go, though whether that's an asset or a liability remains to be seen.
