Luther Petridis is a Gangrel vampire in the Sabbat

Early History

Luther was born a small town in Macedonia to a Greek father who was a hunter and trapper in the mid 1600s. His father married a woman who was the daughter of an English trader.

At an early age he gained a facination for the wilderness and the wild beasts that lived there. While his father went to the nearby town to trade, Luther would go into the forests and hunt wolves with spears that inhabited the area. Eventually, he was noticed by a group of Gangrel vampire who took note of his courage, and decided not to use him a source of blood. Even though the vampires never approached him, Luther was well aware of his presence.

Years later, after his father had passed away and Luther had followed in his footsteps and became a hunter and trapper himself. Occationally he would hunt wolves and on one particular occasion he was surprised to find that they were actually werewolves. In spite of the fact that he was outnumbered, facing much stronger opponents, and armed only hand held weapons he showed no fear. Fortunately for him, the group of Gangrel vampires were nearby and noted his bravery. The came to his defense and defeated the werewolves.

That night, he was invited to join their clan and he accepted. He was embraced. In the years that followed he stayed with them. Eventually, this small group of vampires became tired of their lives in Macedonia and desired greater challenges. They moved to Athens and quickly adapted their rural hunting techniques towards hunting other vampire groups with in the city. Eventually, their exploits reached the ears of the high ranking vampires in the Camarilla. The group was hunted down by many of the other vampires in the city.

The Camarilla managed to kill all of the members of Luther's vampire group, but he managed to evade capture. For several years, he still managed to assissinate members of the Camarilla without getting caught. Eventually, his exploits became well known and reached the ears of the Sabbat.

A small group of Brujah Sabbat members visited the city. Among this group was a rising member named Santino. Santino with the help of others in his group managed to track down and find Luther. Santino offered him membership in the Sabbat and he accepted.
