Fausta/Introduction

"We must allow that London should keep a few of its pretty little crocodiles, after all. Wouldn't you say, my dear?"
-- Howard Cartwright, Setite Egyptologist

Fausta Castellano is another of London's teeming multitude of "came here to study about ten years ago and stayed for the night life" residents, just one of the many thousands of med school graduates the city is famous for churning out every year. She dresses well, she speaks Greek and she's rather impeccably polite even by British standards. She's also one of the criminal sort that hasn't been here long enough, or been careless enough yet, to have an actual police record. Rather than take that medical degree of hers and settle down as a general practitioner or pursue a more official academic line, she's opted to make her living rather outside the confines of the UK's National Health Service. Which is perfectly in line with her breeding, at least, as the oldest child of a former Athenian crime family.

She's most often seen around the City of Westminster and parts eastward as far as Tower Hamlets and Camden, clearly a north London urban type preferring the inner city to its outer boroughs. Wise enough to rarely travel alone at night -- London's an awfully dangerous place, after all -- Fausta is usually in someone's company and she's rather meticulous about the company she keeps.

It's also known that Fausta exists in London by explicit permission of the Camarilla Prince, as did her sire before her. Kindred who have lived a long time in the city will know of Petru Vaduva-Hugo at least by name, though it's unlikely he was out and about in public much. There are Elysium whispers that Fausta has taken up her sire's former position in the London praxis, but fewer and quieter whispers about what that position might be, exactly.
