Introduction
"Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality."

The Dark Idol has been in Prospect for, centuries. Atleast. While often suffering from long bouts of isolation - even from The Sword of Caine - when Xipach-Totec rises from the waters, he brings with him a storm of terrible murders, horrors, and dark imagery. One part zealot, one part philosopher, one part warrior-shaman, one part madman and three parts omnicidist. The Lasombra often called, 'The Black-Shaman' or 'No-Moon Shaman' wields Obtenebration like Michael wielded his flaming-sword against Satan. Raised within a Lasombra-created 'Perfect Society' during the Civil-War era, this creature knows no laws of Man, and is the definition of Anachronism. He relies, likely to his downfall, upon others to be the judge of a situation - for his first instincts are to consume a victim in the terrible ocean of Nothing that is, The Abyss.

Contacts
Elizabeth Grey The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?
Alala I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity. Where once you were a flame to be snuffed out. I have seen that Monster you hide. Let her out, to dance in the red rain - or I will.
LaVey You are, what one may consider Kin - if not for your breeding. The razor's edge of your mind is valued, and when you wish to discover - true - knowledge? Bring me my Offering, Brother.
Juliet The Teacher who believes himself not requiring further education, is often surpassed - and replaced - by his Student. Your presence is a test for hubris, and I shall pass.
Duncan Your prowess is only as valuable as your mind, and for one of your stock - you are sharp. Fight, The Beast, do not Become it unless you enjoy the feel of a leash.
Marion Our bodies are given life from the midst of nothingness. Existing where there is nothing is the meaning of the phrase, "form is emptiness." That all things are provided for by nothingness is the meaning of the phrase, "Emptiness is form." One should not think that these are two separate things.
Cross One more misstep, and I will give you Immortality - and then chain you to the ocean's floor.

RP Hooks
'Occult'
He is named, The No-Moon Shaman, because of his occult knowledge. Trinkets, weapons, scrolls, knowledge, or happenings? He will likely show up under one of several visages.

'The Sword of Caine, and The Spirits of Hunger'

... Xipach-Totec is the Ductus of The Spirits of Hunger. He can always make time, for Sect and his Pack.

'Horror'

...Xipach-Totec is artistic, imaginative, and downright nightmarish with his extensive uses of Obtenebration. This usually provides mental, emotional, and phsyical scarring.

'The Opened Maw'

... Some call him a shark with legs, others, call him The Devourer, The Destroyer, and believe his religious Path is linked to the original purpose of The Wyrm. Be what it may be, his Law is - That Which Can Be Broken, Must Be. This provides opportunity for sphere-mixing.

'The Abyss'

...Obsession...it has tainted his every fiber, and leaves him like a starved beast. Anything to do with The Abyss, The Grandfather-of-Grandfathers (Lasombra itself) or Obtenebration, will draw him.

'War, Violence, Gore, Bloodshed, Disorder'

...For a Lasombra, he is utterly tactless sometimes. Xipach-Totec has to be reminded that this is not an era thick with War, anymore. But more often than not, his very presence is a bad omen of the above. Those who feel Hunger, no matter for what, will find him kin.

'Special Links'

...Redcaps, Bubasti, Fomori that are possessed by The Eater-of-Souls, Black Spiral Dancers who know of the Hive inside of The Abyss, and Nephandi who have plunged into The Nothing (silly mages) will all find him, as a kindred soul. Special Note: Ghouls, any potential Ghouls would best be of the sort to think Xipach-Totec is the stuff of God's plagues upon Egypt, The Curse of Darkness, or some other form of reverence. He has even less tolerance for misconduct than other of The Sabbat.
