Personal history

Early Life

Born in St. Petersburg and raised in a middle class family, Seraphima was an influential revolutioary in the Narodniks movement. At this time she passionatly believed that the Aristocricy must be brought down for the good of all hard working people.
 
In 1868 she went to Warsaw to spread the movement. Impressed with her growing political influence within the disinfrancised of the city the Prince of Warsaw, Henryk Rzegotka, gave her the gift of immortality believing she would make an excelent Ventrue and a powerfull piece in the game.
 
Unfortunatly for Seraphima her sire was not strong and succumed to the machinations of the Tzimitcse Natashen'ka before Seraphima was fledged.
 
Under the Tzimitsce's influence Seraphima endured many physical and emotional torments, forcing her to close herself off to human empathy and fracture her personality producing a friend whome she can confide in and who suggests ways in which she can solve her problems (usually sadistic or destructive to others).
 
Over time she managed to trick Natashen'ka and escape her grasp. Fleeing from Warsaw she informed the Camarilla of the situation and they sent an Alastor to exterminate her sire and the Tzimitsce, and set things to rights. Unfortunatly Natashen'ka escaped and her wherabouts are still unkown.
 
Naturally having such an infamous sire had an impact on her own standing within the Camerilla and she was soon sent away to Venice to assist the Ventrue Ex-Prince Melchior regain his throne from the Giovanni as a nearly impossible test.
 

Venice

Seraphima was heavily involved with a small group of other neonites working for the Primogen in their attempts to reinstate the Ventrue Malchior to the Princedom of Venice.
 
They had some success early on but the real test came in dealing with the Aincient Cappadocian they discovered hiding beneath Venice. Seraphima acted as a mediator between the Primogen and the Cappadocian while studying the occult. Thus, when the extent of the Giovanni's plans were revealed and all the differant factions forced to move, she was well placed to interfere in the magic the Cappadocion cast, redirecting it against the Giovanni stronghold instead of the whole city.
 
When the dust settled all the old powers in Venice were dead or missing and so Seraphima stepped into the power vacuum, becoming Prince of Venice.
 

Recent History

Seraphima has held down her position as Prince of Venice for some years now, quite an acheavement for one so young. Recently she has become the object of the affections of the Rogue Toreador Fenalik and as of 1877 he has delivered increasingly elaborate displays of affection to her dispite all attempts to keep him out.
 
Her Childe Antonio Bello has also been taken by his own son ( Anthony ). An act which she has little interest in except that Anthony is a Tzimisce and working with a group who have been attacking her city.

Failures & Embarrassments

She considers her childe Antonio to be an embarrassment, for which she blames him entirely.
 
While she would never consider them failures, some of her achievements have brought negative repurcusions as well. Her diablerie has left her with a corrupted aura, extra sensitivity to bright lights and a couple curses.

Wealth & Financial state

She has some wealth of her own but prefers to use others as much as possible. As Prince of the city she can achive this with ease.
