Juan Valerio



Juan Jose Valerio is a Malkavian with vision and ambition. He's seen the American South through over a century and a half of history and knows that backroom deals and strange bedfellows are how laws and nations are made. He managed to see the small Anarch community in the greater Miami area through the battles of the Camarilla and Sabbat and rose to prominence during that time. He snagged the position of Advocate when the previous position-holder decided to take half the Barony out on a doomed mission to try topple both Tower and Sabbat while they were fighting each other. He's cautious but ambitious for both himself and the Anarch of the city.

Personal Information
Appearance

A young man of Hispanic origin, usually dressed in neutral colors. He often sports a simple nice shirt or t-shirt and nice pants. Despite the simplicity of his dress, he always looks well put together and professional.

Personality

Cautious, wily, and ambitious, he doesn't like to move unless he's set up at least several layers of contingency plans. This can sometimes be at harsh odds with the more hotheaded (and numerous) agitators in the Movement. He believes in a natural hierarchy of people that becomes self-evident as time goes on - he rarely helps those that refuse to help themselves and has a tendency to dismiss those without ambition.

Timeline
Embraced into the Tower in Savannah in 1876. Left the Tower for the Anarch Movement in the 1920's. Ended up in the Miami area helping out the small Anarch community struggling with the Sabbat in the area in the 1980's. Rose to Advocate in 2016.

Rumours

 * He manipulated the previous Advocate into a suicide mission.
 * He and Sophie Alcabu are secretly lovers and have indulged in blood bonds.
 * He still speaks with his sire, even though they're a Tower loyalist.
