History
Date of Birth: February 3rd, 1913
Home: Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
Family: Johann and Melany Stuver (parents), Wilhelm (younger brother)
The Embrace: External Supernatural Trigger (she enjoyed a middle class life and liberal arts education, until World War 2 shattered it all; she radicalized as the Nazis' atrocities became known, joining the resistance group, CS 6, but Melvin picked her out for her obviously keen mind and recruited her into Clan Tremere before she died fighting the occupiers), 1941
Sire: Melvin Sauler
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (her Becoming lasted a decade in seclusion, removed entirely from the events of human history, while she trained and then demonstrated her competence with blood magic)
Comrades: Melvin Sauler, Emery Nagel, Lucretia Priore
Key Event #1: War (once ready, she joined her sire and chantrymates on a bloody march into East Germany, punishing Tzimisce and their Sabbat allies for the temerity of their territorial grabs on the backs of the Nazis, so she got to kill more Nazis after all!)
Key Event #2: Treachery (Melinda spent the next decades in Berlin, where she demonstrated her knack at arcane tracking, and she was employed as an investigator to sniff out enemies of the clan and Camarilla in this Cold War-torn capital)
Transition: Reassignment (after the Berlin Wall fell, she was reassigned from Europe to the United States, first Washington DC, then Chicago, and finally Kansas City: in all three cases, she was responsible for detecting traces of human sorcery at work contratemps the Kindred, and her success also frustratingly revealed little relief even her clan's elders couldn't provide, a point she began to try diplomatically impress on her fellow Cainites)
Significant Others
Names: Emery Nagel, 2010; Lucretia Priore, 2011
Nature: Companionship
Emery
Lucretia
Weakness
Exasperation
Melinda's been doing this for decades now. When she tells an elder that there is something magical afoot and that Thaumaturgy is unable to provide relief, it's too often like talking to a brick wall of ignorance. Even if those she investigates don't kill her, some irritated Primogen might.
Likelihood of Corruption
Average.
Melinda's a good guy despite her place in the clan pyramid; her conscience prevents her being used as a mindless pawn. But she's also up to it, right up to her pretty little scalp.
