Markus Chemnitz is a Kindred of the Lasombra bloodline. A former agent of the East German Stasi, he intends to turn his skills against the Sabbat, who are hunting him down and whom he believes killed his Sire.

With blonde hair and blue eyes, this young man appears to be in his mid to late twenties. He is passingly handsome, if a bit anaemic, though his expression usually appears serious and devoid of charm. Whether this is German humourlessness or something darker is not immediately apparent.

Markus was born in Karl-Marx-Stadt in 1961. His ambitious parents had joined the SED during the early years of the Republic. As a result they were well-connected in the local party and considered reliable by the GDR Ministry of State Security, commonly known as the Stasi, who relied on them as informal informers.

As a child he was quiet and hard-working, an avid soccer player, though not too intellectually curious. At age 14 he was approached by his uncle - a Stasi agent - to become an informal informer, signing a loyalty pledge and occasionally reporting on his classmates and their parents. Markus graduated high school second in his class. After this he attended the EOS and spent 3 years in the reconnaissance company of the prestigious Felix Dzerzhinsky Guard Regiment. He guarded buildings and officials when not receiving special reconnaissance training, and going on various exercises.

When his national service term was about to end, Markus was recruited for intelligence work in the Main Directorate for Reconnaissance (German: Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung, or HVA), part of the Stasi's foreign intelligence service. He received extensive training at the College of Reconnaissance in the Dammsmühle bei Mühlenbeck, with 4 courses including Marxist–Leninist training, politics, and history, five courses on “Special Operations” and methodology of service work including Operative Psychology, Security and Law, as well as foreign residency training. He was also given English language training at the College of Foreign Languages in the same building.

While attached to the embassy in New York, he was noticed by Gabbriella di Firenzi, the childer of the Lasombra Prince Giangaleazzo , while she was carrying out her duties on behalf of the Camarilla. He was initially recruited into her network through the use of Dominate, acting unknowingly as a double agent on her behalf.

Backgrounds Backgrounds beschrijven een relatie van je character tot de wereld (zelfs Generation doet dat via je Sire). Ik zou daarom graag de backgrounds die mensen kiezen verklaard willen zien in de character history (uitzondering hierop is de Clan background – deze is al verklaard door de keuze van Clan).
Character history Ik wil graag een paar paragraafjes aan character background zodat ik je character wat beter kan plaatsen in de wereld. Minimaal zou ik graag de volgende dingen in een character history en/of wiki pagina zien:
- Als nodig een stukje over je Sire, zeker van belang als je Generation neemt
- Een paragraaf of twee over “During Life”: wat voor leven had je character voor de embrace, en wat voor dingen waren de normale situatie voor je character?
- Een kort paragraafje over de motivatie van je character: om als vampier weder te keren na je dood heb je wilskracht of een krachtige Sire nodig, en de meeste lui met veel wilskracht hebben een zekere “drive”. Wat is de drive van je character, en hoe ver zou deze gaan om dat te bereiken?
