| History
|
| Born in Greece in 1163, Thaddeus Petalas was the son of a blacksmith, and was apprenticed at the age of ten to House Tremere. He was a close friend of Urian Galanis, a mage of the Order of Hermes, and would often visit him and his family during his travels in England. Thaddeus would regale Galanis' young son, René, with tales of his exploits, some exaggerated, but usually not.
In 1196 Galanis brought his son to Athens to study, and though Thaddeus was not René's teacher, he told his old friend that he would watch over the boy. This he did for five years, until Urian returned from his travels and took his son away to France. He never saw them again.
A year before the beginning of the First Massasa War, Thaddeus was offered a choice between death, or being Embraced into the new Clan Tremere. Quickly seeing the advantages of joining the new Clan, not the least of which was continuing to exist, Thaddeus agreed to the Embrace. The war was upon the Clan shortly thereafter, but Thaddeus was blissfully far away from ground zero, studying in Alexandria during most of it.
Since then he has has refined his abilities in blood magic, and is one of the very few remaining Tremere who began life as a mage.

| Personality
|
| Thaddeus is robust and very personable, preferring to travel to distant lands and dig up useful artifacts than to get involved in Kindred politics.
|
| Perception
|
| He is largely overlooked by his Clan. They think of him as a loose cannon of sorts, but quite handy to have around in a pinch, of course.
