Baldassare is a creature obsessed with power, he will do and say anything to keep and obtain it.

Not an intellectual giant, nor a prime physical specimen, he is charming and attractive enough, but it's the combination of his attributes and the single-minded strive for power that makes him so effective. The sum is greater than his parts.

Abilities honed are those necessary to him, first as a soldier in the War against the Sabbat, surviving that has left him with a lot of combat ability. True to his heritage he is also good with Finance.

The Prince has the backgrounds. Any and all of them that he could need. He is the Prince, until that changes, he has the means to quash people like insects.
