Know Your Kindred - Joe “Boot” Hill
Posted by yafka on March 22, 2008
Name: Joe “Boot” Hill
Clan: Assamite Antitribu
Generation: 7th
Embraced: 1881
A tall, lean gun slinger from the old west, Joe “Boot” Hill became a vampire after getting into an argument with a fellow named Bernard del Gado. Joe was tired of hearing his line of crap, so he shot him. But Bernard got up and reminded Joe it was rude to shoot an unarmed man. So Joe shot him again and mopped up the floor with his head.
Bernard took it poorly and dragged Joe from the back of his horse. He went a half mile before accepting Joe’s apology. By that time Joe had lost most of his teeth and a good portion of his nose. The two came to a truce and after Joe healed from his injuries, Bernard embraced and buried him for the Creation Rites.
Joe still bears the scars from the horse incident, but from a short distance, Joe’s still a handsome man. No longer carrying six shooters, Joe prefers two Mac 10s and a Fiachi Law-12. Joe follows the code of the Old West, right down to keeping his well-trained horse retainer around.
He earned his nickname “Boot” as a result of what he does to Kindred when they don’t listen to reason. Joe doesn’t believe in killing Kindred unnecessarily, but he will. Joe especially likes to hunt down Lupines and watching them burn when he fills them with silver bullets. He knows better than to wrassle with a werewolf without a gun (a lesson reenforced when his pal Bernard was torn to shreds by a werewolf pack).
He is the Dominion of the Black Hand in Mexico City. Joe is very loyal to the Sabbat and expects the same from his associates. Everyone in Mexico knows Joe and no one ever gives him lip.
