Name: Odin Valleth av Valcrist IV
Alias: Valcrist Rocheim

Height: 6'4"
Weight: 211 lbs.
Eye Color: Varying from Pale Green to Saphire

Markings: Two scars on his chest, one on each breast, both are identicle straight cuts a few inches below his collar bone. On his left tricep there is a branding: LV. On the outside of his right thigh there are two small scars. They are likely from the vampires who killed him and his mother not far from the shipwreck where he was found dead.
Race: Valcristian - A vampire race that is nearly extinct. It branches from an era which Ventrue women sought youthful and brazen Gangrel vampires for illiegitmate lovers. This is thought to be the reason why Valcrist's mother was killed even after she escaped with Valcrist from that shipwreck.

Family...
Mother: Marianna Freya Nesvik
Father: Name and origin are unkown to all except Lezard Valleth
Creator: Lezard Valleth (more on history)

Appearance He doesn't command a monstrous shape, but nonetheless domineers enourmous presence.
His complexion is flawless, (likely because of his Norsk heritage or the fact that he was a restored project and practically engineered for perfection by Lezard Valleth) and his hair is black. It's a little more than shoulder length with a slight hint of grey.
Clothing His body is usually fully clothed in a norse soldier fatigue. This attire, however, is predominently guised by the famed oil-skin trenchcoat which was a gift to him from his long time, deceased friend, Lord Raduu. He usually dresses with about 2-3 belts. The first, laced through his pants is used for common purpose. The second is used as a waist girdle to hold Deathmare's well-sized scabbard. The other is commonly used for a money purse.

Weapon Deathmare

Technique List There are three different practice that Valcrist has mastered or is in the construct of mastering:
Nynorsk - basic brawling methods used by Vikings and Norse Huns
Shade - methods berthed by the studies of Lezard Valleth, perfected by Valcrist Rocheim
Shadraoi - and art form berthed and mastered by Valcrist Rocheim. It entwines the most complex and intricate parts of Shade, and the relatively forgotten fundamentals of Lycanthropy (shape-shifting, mastered by druids of all regions).

Deathmare - a familiar encased in a platinum alloy body. The sword itself is a perfect design of the middle eastern Falcion. Deathmare is a fabled blade in all lands who know it; it is commonly known as Ni'ishn bu nishna, or Morning Mourning.

Directly after Valcrist's release from Valleth's laboratory, he found himself blank and destitute of memory. Having walked for miles in the mountain snow by himself, he passed out, and was later discovered by a slave trader named Hemlock from Persia...

After being sought after in the Middle East for many years for his talent as a brawler, he had found a home fighting for his master, Toorq Shaulome...

Until one day when the master's daughter had fallen into a somewhat shallow snake pit from which Valcrist lept into to save her. It was too late, the young girl had been bitten several times all over her body, and while Valcrist himself failed to save her, he failed to escape as well. Shaulome's family had considered him dead, so the left him there with the body of the girl...

Days later, Valcrist, through some sort of miracle awoke and found to his suprise, the snakes were nowhere to be found. Astonished that he was even alive (later revalations would reveal that he has many immunities, talents, and gifts as a result of the experiments conducted on him) he krept around the pit to find that the girl was missing. That discovery however paled in comparison to the harrowing detail that there was a falchion in her place. With great apprehension, he took hold of the sword. Then with sound of a thousand locusts, a myriad of murmured Farsic speach swirled around him.

With time he would find that the familiar's soul imbued into the blade belonged to an islamic holy man. He was converted into the blade as punishment for genocide.

Combining the most intricate aspects of two very different, yet equally powerful dimensions of battle tactics, Valcrist has created Shadraoi through ages of study. It is a very obscure area of battle feats. There are very few disciples of its teaching because it never commits itself solely to Lycanthropy or Shade. Having noted that, it should be assumed that neither the term magic or shapeshifting can accurately categorize the dimension of magic herein, Shadraoi.

In order to begin the process of charging an attack in this art form, Valcrist must be shedding blood. Once this has happened, his shadow will begin to swell. After the shadow is pulsing, Valcrist may call on it to consume him, allowing him to perform any techniques or skills considered as Shadraoi, given the circumstances and stipulations are abated for.

Valcrist was thought to have been born somewhere on a Viking ship off the Norwegian coast. His mother was an outcast of the Ventrue society when she was branded a whore by the Vampire high council, the Camarilla. However, it was not uncommon that Ventrue women of this era were cast away by their bretheren. The reason for such acts were in punishment of the women's lusty desire for slaves of the Gangrel Clan. Since the Ventrue are the most regal and "snobbish" of all Vampires, they thought it to be blasphemous for women of such regard to toil with those of a "lower" race. Because of his notoriety, the cross between Ventrue and Gangrel clans was dubbed "Valcristian" after Valcrist Rocheim(although Lezard Valleth would dispute that the reason his name is Valcrist is because that's what the Camarilla dubbed all crossbreeds of the two races: Ventrue and Gangrel). He is the only known survivor of the slaughter that took place in order to purge these Valcristians from the ranks of the immortal.

Resembling his father in most birth aspects, Valcrist, is more inclined to befriend Gangrel vampires. The Ventrue proved to be stoic murderers when they attempted to commit genocide on the vampires Kindred to him, therefore he still resents the regal and decoured Ventrue. However, he did inherit a distinct sense of leadership and responsibility from the blood of that noble clan bestowed upon him by his mother.

Instead of providing any opponent or possible assassin with information on how to elude Valcrist's individual and unique attacks, I think it best to instead give insight on what he's capable of. Alex had a great template for vampires; so, i borrowed it. This is for vampires only. You will notice that I didn't ripoff his unique abilities, so please... be original.
