The Antithesis of Sparkle



"Ellis... Ellis... that a first name or a last name?"
"Why yessir it is."
Ellis Knox, born June 1st, 1904... born again June 1st, 1954. Jazz and blues musician from New Orleans. Self-effacing, dryly funny, has a quirky sense of humor... a real nice guy if not for that drinking problem of his.
No, not alcohol.
On his fiftieth birthday Ellis received one hell of a present: immortality, coupled with the eternal lust for blood any vampire must live with. Details of Ellis's vampirism are here.
In the fifty-odd years since his Embrace, Ellis has acquired a reputation that might surprise those who judge him by his unassuming appearance-- who would think that the slight, skinny man normally found sitting at a piano would also be one of the first names called when someone breaks the Masquerade? But such is the case. Ellis seems to have a definite knack for finding his targets and dispatching them with either a minimum of fuss or a maximum of suffering, whichever is most called for by his employer.
Behind Ellis's humor and lazy Southern affability lies a cold-blooded killer in all senses of the word, whose unpredictability causes even other vampires to regard him with a touch of wariness.
Ellis's preferred (but by no means exclusive) diet is children. To be totally clear: Ellis is not a good guy. If he thinks he can get away with it, he will attack and, if possible, eat any sufficiently-appetizing-looking muse. He does not angst about this, and he does not sparkle.
Ellis is about 5'6" and, in his own words, a "skinny cracker fairy". He dresses in snazzy suits and smokes nearly constantly. He's pale, which is not surprising in a vampire, and not especially attractive, which is. (Ellis says you should have seen him before he was bitten.) Ellis talks and moves with all the hurry of late August. He says that it sure is nice to meet you, alright, it sure is.
Ellis is an original creation, loosely using the Vampire: Masquerade source material for inspiration. His avatar is the incredibly talented and brilliant Joe Jackson.
