Ezekiel
When Ezekiel rose from his grave the following night, a profound change had overcome him. His youthful naivete and innocent charm were replaced by a dark intensity. The Shepherds acknowledged him that night, and Raphael, in a moment of lucidity, proclaimed that Ezekiel's future would shine like a dying star.
Ezekiel's early existence was spent under the wise tutelage of the Librarians; he learned the ways of the Sabbat and Cainite history. When his studies permitted, he followed his sire, learning the ways of power. Sangris was more than a father or mentor; he was the embodiment of power and destiny for the young Serpent. Sangris, aware of his childe's almost unnatural ambition and adoration, forced him to join the Black Hand to protect Ezekiel against demonic influence. The night Ezekiel departed for his training in the Black Hand was the last time he saw Sangris as Archbishop of Montreal.
As a member of the Black Hand, Ezekiel accepted a number of suicide missions and earned a name for himself as a ruthless fighter and shrewd leader. Ezekiel, Soldat and their Black Hand circle were responsible for destroying a number of Chicago elders during the Sabbat-Lupine-Camarilla war in the early '90s. After the war, Ezekiel returned to Montreal to testify at Sangris' trial. During the trial, Ezekiel was found innocent of corruption, but was present when Sangris was convicted of infernalism and perished in flames. Ezekiel was deeply hurt by Sangris' betrayal, but ultimately understood that his sire fell because of the current weakness in the Sabbat. Since that day, he has vowed to lead the Sabbat away from bickering and infighting, back to the glory it had during the Anarch Revolt.
Unfortunately for him, that vow would never be fulfilled; many years down the line, a string of strange murders afflicted the Sabbat community of Montreal. Investigating unveiled that the murders were being orchestrated by the Black Hand itself, and Ezekiel left the city to investigate. He returned a changed man who, disillusioned with the sect he once loved so much, could no longer put his support behind the Sabbat. After a short but brutal conflict, Ezekiel aligned with the ideals of the Anarch movement and was key to their takeover of the city. In the end, Ezekiel was assigned as Baron of Montreal.
