Marcus Sextus was born in latinized Cairo in the first century AD and traveled to Rome just after being Embrace by a Gangrel Methuselah. He introduced himself to the Malkavian and Ventrue lords of the city simply as "the Egyptian". There he lived as a nobleman, and greatly desired the approval and companionship of the city's undead leaders - but the greedy patrons of the Eternal Senate used the Gangrel's desires to pull him this way and that. During the closing years of the Empire, the Egyptian was nothing more than a pawn.
