Appearance
Juan Ramos de Zaragoza or Johnny Ramos (as he is often called) appears to be a grizzled veteran of the Danse Macabre. He has seen and done many things in his existence, much of them very bad. As such he often appears somewhat distant and cold. He has dark brown eyes that appear both withdrawn and smoldering, what one might refer to as the “mile-long-stare.”
Public synopsis
Juan Ramos de Zaragoza is known to be the eldest of Khenemethoth children. Naturally this would also make him the elder brother of Daria (Dasha) Nazarova. And although he does not publicly offer the date of his embrace, it is rumored by many to have occurred several hundred years ago. Ramos is of both Spanish and Egyptian decent.
In these most recent nights, it has been confirmed that he is a member of the Circle of the Crone. Though for a time, it was rumored that he was a member of the Ordo Dracul. Additional rumors have offered that he is considered by many in the Circle of the Crone to be a notable member, possibly even being a religious leader or “Hierophant.” This is an interesting contradiction in light of the recent uncertainty of his covenant affiliation. But then perhaps this also serves as a compliment to his abilities as “Shadow.”
Above all, Ramos is known to view existence in very “black and white” terms. He most certainly believes that the ends justify the means. It is also said by many that he is uncommonly honest and direct, two rather curious traits for a “Shadow.” And although he has proven to be slow to ire, his rage once unleashed, is quite formidable
Another notable fact regarding Juan Ramos de Zaragoza is that he is considered to be formidable warrior. Many believe his prowess with firearms and weaponry to be unmatched. And although he has received notoriety for his ability with firearms and other weaponry, rumors abound that he is even more lethal in the uses of the dreaded blood magic known only as “Cruac.”
Juan Ramos de Zaragoza first appeared in the modern era in San Francisco, California (Circa 1949). Ramos was accompanied by several close associates, most notably Paul Seker of the Nosferatu and Halima Chapel of the Gangrel. During this time period the trio assisted Khenemethoth in his workings. Ramos himself agreed to serve as deputy and on occasion a Hound. By November of 1951, Ramos, Seker and Chapel all departed San Francisco for Modesto, California, to assist in the hunting and eventually destruction of the mad Daeva, known as Dr. Luis Gasquet, “The Dark Father.” To this night Ramos still routinely visits San Francisco.
Public synopsis: Mekhet
Ramos's has been receiving a small modicum of recognition (OOC: Mekhet Status: 2) from his brethren of the Shadows. One might assume this is primarily due to his close association with his sire, Khenemethoth, the progenitor of a very well known lineage of Mekhet. However in these most recent decades and years Ramos has also been seen in the company of and/or in close association with other notable Shadows as Xavier Ryan Ellison of the Ordo Dracul, Nicholas Ebon III, Invictus Prince of St. Louis, Missouri and the mysterious David Walker of the Ordo Dracul. When asked about his association with Ellison and Ebon, Ramos has offered that they were “Brothers in Arms” during the Spanish Civil War and bore witness to the Bombing of Guernica (In the early part of the 20th Century).
