| Robert Pointe arrived in New Orleans in the spring of 1718 as one of the original settlers and plantation owners. He was embraced shortly after that and in the typical Ventrue style, will not let anyone forget that he is of Noble French descent. When Louisiana was purchased by the Americans in 1801, Pointe embraced the American style of slave ownership, having always held that New Orleans was too soft on their negros. He was often ostracized for his inhumane treatment of his slaves.
In 1836, an archon from the Ventrue Justicar visited him and asked him to help in the struggles out West with the Sabbat coming up from Mexico and the Lupine causing trouble from the mountains and the Indian tribes. Robert accepted this assignment, but in a surprise move, instead of heading for Texas, he went to Colorado. In 1968, when the race riots began and Martin Luther King Jr. was shot, Pointe came completely unhinged. It was worse than 75 years earlier, when women had gotten the vote and he went on a two day rampage. He was actively trying to revitalize the Ku Klux Klan and burn out all the non-whites in Denver. This is when Daniel Archer stepped in and took control of the city away from him in a Praxis fight that, while Archer and Pointe never exchanged blows, got rather messy. There were several breeches of the Masquerade as Pointe decided that since the Kindred of the city didn't want him as Prince anymore, there wasn't going to be a city here for anyone. Finally one night he just disappeared. No one knows for absolutely certain what has happened to him, but he hasn't been seen since, and most are happy to see him gone. |
