Notes
Character runs a long con claiming heritage to the Duchy around Ljubljana, known as Vojvodina Kranjska in Slovenian and Krain in German. His sire is in the know that this is in fact a hoax but the Knowledge certainly has spread as little as possible. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Carniola
On Nature/Demeanor: Puts people in their place by bullying, rather then truly kicking down.

None too clever, somewhat slow to notice but quite quick to react.

====The Characterclaimed Historytitle ====

Efficient GeorgDigestion: Danzl)due leftto being starved of proper vitae during the family towntraveling in searchthe ofUS, aLord betterKrain life.somewhat In Innsbruck he started establishing himself as a man who makes connections. These allowed travel and study. These took him from Innsbruck to Vienna and Slovenia, specifically Laibach / Llubljana. He got connections withinoffsets the Habsburger court and from there travelled west, to Hamburg. In Hamburg he got passage to Hoboken, NJ and traveled on to New York. There he established his conned history, descendance from the Dukes of Krain, a line which at that time was long extinct and the Duchy taken over by the Habsburgers. With such a distance, the con was easily manufactured though. This influence and ease of building a social network and status got the attention of the local clans, especially the Ventrue.

15-3: breactie presenting, as evidenced in quotes such as these[quote=George Dann] You know how hard it is to keep your connections if you only can connect at night? How hard it is to play a decent round of Golf or stroll through a sunlit Central Park?", "even dueling has lost it's sazz. Before, I knew I would escape unharmed because of my skill. Yet now, its not mine that makes me live. It's another's blood in my veins keeping me walking" [quote].
---- Interests ----
George retains his passion in development though. Firearms and inventions still spark his interest and a developing buisiness in those fields can easily attract his attention. Another interest that has not waned is his interest in ladies with ties to wealth and influential families, both Caine and Kindred. USA
