Name: Josef Kostan
Clan: Lasombra (Toreador)
Business: Heaven and Hell Gallery
Age: 67
History: Josef Kostan was born Joe O'Connell in a small town in Iowa to a stay at home mother and a construction work father. A sensitive child Joe took after his mother more who was a gifted artist but had never been allowed to pursue her dreams. He watched her drink herself slowly away to nothing and vowed to get out. As soon as he was eighteen he took the first bus out of town and enrolled in college. Bright and talented he succeed in school and eventually began working at an investment firm in New York.
Cutthroat with model good looks he climbed quickly in the ranks not knowing the firm was owned by a vampire. One night he stumbled on his boss sitting in his hotel scared after having killed a prostitute he'd hired. Josef stared down horrified but his instinct for survival kicked in. He got his boss out, cleaned up the mess, and saved the firm alot of embarrassment. It had been a test. His Lasombra sire liked the smart young man and turned him.
The Sabbat did not easily embrace the new recruit. Model good looks only earned him more attention. The first night he came home barely alive, beaten, broken, crawling to his sire who opened the door and stared down at him without pity telling him to either begin enjoying pain or earn some respect. It was a hard lesson and one he took to heart. Six years later everyone who beat him that night was found dead, under mysterious circumstances but everyone in the Sabbat knew. Respect was given. Still, that dark desire for pain and pleasure grew inside of him every day. Prideful. Vengeful. Those darker sexual tastes have grown inside of him as well as a cutthroat nature that has earned him respect among the other Sabbat.
Now he has infiltrated the Camarilla as a Toreador. The same skills he used to infiltrate the upper class as a human he now uses to infiltrate the Camarilla. Model good looks, a hint of upper class snobbery, and sexual charisma have quickly made him a favorite. Now he just has to keep the dark sexual deviant inside of himself, carefully hidden, as he swims with the sharks and pretends to be another pretty boy too enthralled with his own looks to care about the world around himself.
