Jermia Townsend

This is Jermia Townsend, a recently Embraced Vampire: The Masquerade character, having joined the ranks of the Kindred just six weeks ago. He resides in Queens, New York, and is part of a coterie of four ancillae known as 'The Book Club.' As the youngest member, Jermia struggles to earn his peers' respect. Frequently threatened and belittled, he is routinely tasked with handling modern technology—an area where the older vampires often falter.

Jermia was embraced by a Neonate named Kalila. After Kalila's arrest, she was captured by hunters and left to perish in a sunlit cell. Now, lacking any clan guidance or support, Jermia must navigate his clan, The Ministry, alone and tread carefully to survive in the treacherous world of New York's Kindred society.

Being a member of The Ministry further complicates his unlife. The Ministry’s reputation for subversion, temptation, and manipulation makes other Kindred wary and distrustful. Many in Kindred society see Ministry members as dangerous influences, often isolating or undermining them. For Jermia, every social interaction is a test of loyalty and subtlety, as he must constantly prove his intentions while avoiding the suspicion and animosity that comes with his clan’s infamous legacy.
