Madam Eleonora Macellarius

Madam Eleonora Macellarius is a member of the Invictus, and supposedly belongs to a bloodline of the Ventrue. Despite this, she is the Ventrue Priscus and the mistress of Elysium, the latter being a title she enjoys immensely.

Arriving in New Manchester a scant few years ago, she impressed the Pound Invictus with her enthusiasm for her Requiem and affection for other Kindred, regardless of clan. She also demonstrated adept social and political knowledge, and so she was recognised as Priscus and mistress of Elysium by the Dragon Prince.

It would be uncouth and vulgar to call Madam Macellarius fat. She is obese, corpulent, elephantine in proportions. Fat hangs off her unevenly and in such amounts that she only holds Elysium in places with double-doors. Her hair is permanently curled and a chocolate brown, and her face is matronly and noble. Fittingly (suspiciously), she is always jolly and jovial in public appearances, and unlike many Kindred, she seems to mean it.

Madam Macellarius spends most of her nights at the Damascus Winery, where she holds tours and wine-tastings for mortals. For Kindred, she offers a vintage of a different kind: any vampire who asks (providing that the vampire is polite, of decent social standing and passable breeding) can sample a variety of bloods from a diverse range of sources. Ever wondered what the blood of an albino tastes like? Eleonora can help you out.

Madam Macellarius has a childe, Luigi Macellarius.
