"Welcome to Las Vegas, the City of Lights!
Ah, but the trick with lights is you can
only appreciate their beauty after the sun sets."
-- Rex Dominus V
Rex Dominus V is the Prince of Las Vegas.
He fancies himself a fair man, always willing to hear out any pleadings and excuses of those whose fate requires his audience. His judgement is swift and appropriate, however when it is deemed necessary. He has only had to call two blood hunts in his reign, and actually committed the necessary diablerie himself once, sharing the vitae with his Primogen.
To say he is wealthy is an understatement. He is a shadow partner in all of the Strip resorts, although none of the public owners realize his stake in all of them. He also "allows" the various organized crime syndicates in town to exist, and remarkably does not get a single percentage of their action. He doesn't need it, nor does he desire their blood money. All he asks is their loyalty to him, and that they keep their battles amongst themselves to a small scale. He loves the glitz and glamour of the city and strives to make sure it covers the seedy underbelly that most people know is there but rarely ever see.
His haven is The Penthouse at Caesar's Palace -- how could it be anywhere else. But not the Penthouse that is rented to the High-Rollers. He lets them have their illusions, all the while being the reigning Master and King of Sin City.
He feeds only from his "Harem of Seven" as he calls them. He will not allow them to be called his "Herd". They are seven of the most beautiful women to ever grace a showroom or brothel. They are Carmen, Cerise, Cheri, Dawn, Rose, Ruby, and Scarlett. He lets them live their own lives separate from him, but they always heed his call when they are needed. He is a passionate lover, and he cares for every one of his Ladies, but it is fair to say he has not loved or been loved -- truly loved -- in centuries.
Though he has his trusted allies, retainers, contacts, etc., he has only one true friend, Corey Bantes, the Malkavian Primogen, who can be found reliving his Jester days at the Excalibur.
