Story:
A professor of Civil and Mechanical engineering at M.I.T. Edgar Lowell and 10 other engineers were kidnapped during a teachers convention in new york by a pack of nosferatu and given the creation rites. He became close to Joseph Fleischer( a well known Nosferatu tunnel rat.) who steered him away from a life of combat that he wasn't ready for and put him to work on the Trap.
With Joseph's passing at the hands of some spiral dansers, edgar inherited the title of Chief engineer of the Nosferatu community. His influence stretches widely among Nosferatu tunnel rats and often he is able to muster large numbers of them for big undercity projects. His influence also extends to a number of building contractors and city planners above ground. He has a small but devoted pack of fellow nosferatu and one Samedi who help him with projects.
Edgar is also one of the people who proposed Schrecknet. He has an E-mail relationship with a number of interesting persons.
Edgar rarely sleeps,and hates hunting, He will kill if he has to but he almost never frenzies. In combat, edgar gets close with obfuscate and then puts his incredible strength to use often with the business end of a crowbar,workboot, or in serious matters a custom built chainsaw.
Some years ago, Edgar switched sides when the city he lived in became a camarilla city. Ordinarily, this would be be serious business but he still does favors for his old sabbat contacts. Edgar has the attitude that the Nicktuku are far scarier than any silly sect war.
Story Uses:
The Quiet Man behind the Scenes: Edgar works tirelessly to create a safe environment for his fellow Nosferatu. He is valued by Nosferatu elders on boths sides of the sect fence and has a reputation as a great teacher. He is perfectly happy to let any other nosferatu be in charge of the warrens but it should be understood that if a nosferatu leader proposes a plan that he dislikes. a few quiet words from him will be more than enough to quash the project. He doesn't take this personally and those few who have had their dreams dashed by him have learned they better not either. Edgar has proven on more than one occasion that he is capable of destroying kindred twice his age. (he's been a vampire 50 years or so.)
The Shadowy Hand that Takes: Edgar is one of those types that has many things going on at once.(he rarely sleeps) In service to his fanatical goals of building an Undercity of unparalelled splendor and deadliness. Things in the mortal world move almost effortlessly. With his Obfuscate, Dominate, and computational acumen he has created a bewildering array of identities. Some of which he farms out to younger Nosferatu.
