History


Date of Birth: March 28th, 1930
Home: Peoria, Illinois, United States
Family: Joseph and Rebecca Shilovik (parents), Helen (younger sister)
The Embrace: External Supernatural Trigger (Ben was born into a middle-class Jewish family, and he was an industrious student in primary and then later medical school, choosing pediatrics [at Chicago General] because his kid sister died from cancer by age 9; the Ventrue clan watched him for a good while before selecting him for the Embrace, noting his cautious and classy professionalism), 1975
Sire: Mitch Yearly
The Test: Trial by Influence (beyond the Becoming, Ben needed to prove his utility to the clan by presenting his various connections and influences)
Comrades: Mitch Yearly, Horatio Ballard, Louisa Makowski
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (Ben set right in to using his vampiric powers for as much good as possible, secretly seeking ways to make miracle cures with Kindred vitae)
Key Event #2: War (the War of Chicago shattered all productive activity as everyone scrambled to just survive; in the process, his sire, as well as many other Kindred, were slain by Sabbat or Lupines, and he fled the city, resettling in Kansas City, Missouri, where he picked right back up where he left off)
Transition: Shift in Purpose (though Ben continued his work, he grew frustrated with lack of progress for many years, and finally Embraced a young leukemia patient as the only way to save her, because he knew she would be strong enough)

The good doctor is trying, he really is, but he will do more harm than good. He already killed at least one patient (Darcy) by Embracing her.

He means well, but you know what they say about good intentions.
