History

Like many Caitiff, Josue Vendredi has no idea who Embraced him. He has a much better idea of why he might have been Embraced: it hardly strains imagination to picture some shallow Toreador making him immortal in a paroxysm of lust, then abandoning him in an equally passing fit of regret or disgust. While none of the city’s Succubi have been identified as Josue’s sire, the Caitiff has expressed little interest in discovering whoever cursed him with the Embrace. The sole object of his fixation (and, indeed, veneration) is Baron Cimitière.

Josue was a devout Vodouisant in his mortal life and faithfully attended every one of the Baron’s congregations: he was mounted on multiple occasions by the loa and was thought to have caught the attentions (and affections) of beautiful Erzulie herself. Cimitière took the Caitiff under his wing out of pity, for he believed that his obligation towards his followers and fellow believers transcended any ties of Kindred blood. Pity is hardly a substitute for the warmth and sense of belonging that Josue enjoyed as one of the Baron’s mortal congregants, however, and his fellow Crones treat him with cool aloofness at best. Even decades after his Embrace, Josue remains desperate to win his idol and benefactor’s approval and to show that he is more than his clanless blood.
