Vampires. Killing machines that lust for blood. The rise of Innistrad's most prominent clan, and a girl's account of its patriarch, Edgar Markov.

-he gives her a cup of tea as he sits down with his own-

-doesn't mention that he made two cups despite his intent otherwise being one for him-

So...

Where do I start...

-sips his cup of tea, thinking for a moment, not looking at Eve-

So I have seen.

The Markov patriarch's grandson is a person of interest. Someone I'm looking for. I can't find him at his ancestral home, but this book supposedly has a clue as to a vacation home of his.

-oh hey this is a really good cup of tea, eve-

-it's just how you like it-

-... smells like prophecy shit-

-he breathes for a moment, before raising his eyebrows slightly and putting his cup of tea down-

I was born to a moderately wealthy family... we weren't exactly well-known, or very popular... mostly because we were a Jewish family and... well, Jews weren't very popular in the 19th Century. I don't know how many generations back, but I know at some point one of my great grandmothers migrated to England from Greece...

Either way- there was enough money in the family for my mother to fund my education.

Specifically though, I had always wanted to help people in some way.

But something kept holding me back. A dark... inner core, that I couldn't quite comprehend.

A draw- a temptation. A devil on my shoulder, whom forced me to obsess over the sight of blood.

It was hard to control... and I tried to control it. That malicious impulse to slaughter.

It's why I chose the career of a surgeon.

I had imagined that- if I had to live with something like that infecting my soul, I may as well try and funnel it into a good end. A better end, than just mutilation.

Thus, rather than cut people to see them bleed, I would cut them to save their lives.

Quite simple, right? I'd hope noble as well, but of course I know you probably think I'm bullshitting on this.

Matters only he and I can understand. But that's thinking too far ahead.

(snaps his fingers, causing the masked zombie to vanish - and leaving his chair open for Monika to sit opposite Strythos and the chessboard)

I need fresh eyes to pore over this. To look for the riddle I want to answer. And if you have a literature group...

(closes the book, putting it in front of her)

Sorin Markov. That's his name. Look for him, and have your friends help if you need it.
