Starkweather

Biography
The man who called himself Starkweather grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. His father was an abusive and militant man who locked him inside a cellar for two years when he was a child. As an adult, Starkweather was diagnosed as schizophrenic and remanded to the care of a mental health facility. While there, he met an attractive, dark-haired woman who revealed herself to be a vampire of Clan Gangrel. She sliced Starkweather's chest open with her fingernail and then embraced him. When Starkweather awakened, he found blood all over his face. None of it was his. The woman responsible for his grim transformation was nowhere to be found.

A week later, Starkweather turned up at The Haven. Though he didn't realize it at the time, the lounge was in fact a sanctuary for vampires run by a Kindred named Lillie Langtry. Another Gangrel vampire named Cash recognized that Starkweather was Kindred and tried to help him adjust. Starved for blood, Starkweather went into a frenzy and began smashing tables and chairs. Cash tried to restrain him, but the two came to blows. Polic arrived on the scene and both men were taken to the Suncrest psychiatric hospital. While there, Cash tried to explain to Starkweather that he was now a vampire and that he needed to consume blood in order to survive. Starkweather wasn't interested in mere survival however. He enjoyed his newfound immortality and the power that came with it. During a therapy session, Starkweather killed the psychiatrist and smeared the words "Blood Brothers" on the walls of the observation room in his blood. He then tore broke through the window of the room and escaped.
