RP Hooks
Idyllwild: Something dwells out there in the deep mountain cracks and wooded thickets. Dominus works to survive out there as best he can. Perhaps you go on a camping or hiking trip? Hunting for deer? Maybe you heard rumors of some new, massive cryptid?
Stolen: Dominus is old, and he once had power. His vast wings took up the sky, and his fire could melt townships. His hoard filled a mountainside, and the Romans would bring him tribute. (There's a whole other RP hook for Rome, though.) Either way, he was captured a few centuries ago by a cabal of Nephandi, who used vile magicks to siphon his power. He was reduced to what he is today, and seeks to regain some semblance of what he lost.
Rome: While he has existed along a number of cultures over the last two thousand years or so, he views Rome as his 'glory days'. Those who knew of his existence saw him as a demigod. A child of Pluto himself! A cult popped up around him, mostly made up of soldiers (And quite a number of women, which he was not averse to taking advantage of. I never said he was a great guy.) Some records might tell of the ancient beast that lived in the Apennines.
Magi: He once knew a bit about the other races, but that knowledge has proven useless as times change and his knowledge was sapped from him. Mages, however, he still has a bit of knowledge about. During the late 1190's or so, he met and fell in love with a French girl who was a skilled member of the Order of Hermes. He worked beside her for a good number of years, and they fell in love. However, she was murdered during the Massasa War.
Curiosity: Dominus is curious about this new world, and while he sleeps in the wild, he has begun heading into the city more and more often. He looks like a big, burly homeless guy or wild man, and he can be hard to miss. If it's in the city, the man can likely be bumped into!
Lonely: He is a prideful creature, but a lonely one. The right company could assuage a lot of problems he has, but it would not be easy for the person who ends up filling that role.

Mountain Goats - Autoclave
- Hand me your hand, let me look in your eyes
- As my last chance to feel human begins to vaporize
- Maybe it's the heat in here, maybe it's the pressure
- You ought to head for the exits, the sooner, the better
- I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam
- And no one in her right mind would make my home her home
- My heart's an autoclave
- My heart's an autoclave
- When I try to open up to you, I get completely lost
- Houses swallowed by the earth, windows thick with frost
- And I reach deep down within, but the pathways twist and turn
- And there's no light anywhere, and nothing left to burn
- And I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam
- And no emotion that's worth having could call my heart its home
- My heart's an autoclave
- My heart's an autoclave
- I dreamt that I was perched atop a throne of human skulls
- On a cliff above the ocean, howling wind and shrieking seagulls
- And the dream went on forever, one single static frame
- Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name
- And I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam
- And no one in her right mind would make her home my home
- My heart's an autoclave
- My heart's an autoclave
