History
Samson Matthews can trace his vampiric lineage back to Pakourianis the Dove and is the Last surviving member of the Nephalim Bloodline, being that him and his sire William McBryde were directly responsible for the Bloodline destruction in Modern times after it's severe decline following the Dark Ages, and with it destroyed all volumes pertaining to The Path of the Archangel and the Ritual involved in making them a 'true Nephalim'.

He was a fiction writer in mortal life and his sire admired his skill and perfection in his craft, even if he would often tire himself out into long bits of depression. Such attitudes and traits left him wanting to be alone most the time but he possessed enough charm that he was never a social outcast.

He and William would become disillusioned with the Nephalims as time went on, the group becoming more and more deranged in their belief in their long gone grand-sire. They had a young Tremere Levi Tzora help them in breaking the effects of the Nephalim joining ritual in return for some documents. With the curse broken they pursued a two-year long war against the Nephalim, eventually destroying their base and Methuselah. After the event he and his sire parted ways, though always seem to find each other each year to talk and play chess.

He became a nomad, claiming loyalty to no faction, though he embraces in inspired whims, which has led him to the enmity of some Camarilla Princes as he does so without their permission though he often compensates the Prince's anger for the continued life of his Childe. One such time was when he sired his first childe, Yin Yue, a talented chinese artist and calligrapher. The Prince at the time William Tyburn was enraged at the notion of not such disrespect for his authority. Samson gave the Prince a sword forged in Constantinople that was held and blessed by Michael for her continued life among the Camarilla, the Prince seemed pleased enough and allowed her to live. Yin Yue would eventually prove to be such an asset to the City that she was named Primogen by Prince and Clan.

Nowadays he travels, visiting Childe often, and writes. Sometimes his true love fiction, other times he focuses on academic works of Vampiric History or Philosophy, though these are fleeting interest and musings. He is a respected individual among his clan.
