BACKGROUND:
Sebastian Dale was a moderately successful MI5 intelligence agent at the height of WWII, and also a minor member of the British Psychic Corps, set up to oppose Hitler's use of the Spear of Destiny. In the aftermath of the war, Maxwell Ldescu embraced him to be a member of the floundering Tremere chantry in Berlin. Throughout the Cold War Dale maintained his intelligence front, masquerading as a deep cover agent in Berlin. During this period he made frequent, and long, trips to Venice under the instruction of his Sire, where he learned Necromancy from the Giovanni he had known before his embrace.
A few years before the wall came down, he was forcibly recruited by Meerlinda, the Circle of Seven member responsible for Tremere activites in North America. She has been grooming him as a special agent, and often dispatches him to deal with tasks in outlying areas. This support from the most powerful vampire in the US has earned him the enmity of Peter Dorfman, Tremere Pontifex responsible for Politics. With the Sabbat capture of Washington, DC in late 1998, and the erosion of Dorfman's carefully constructed power base, the danger to Dale has lessened somewhat.
PERSONALITY:
DISCIPLINES:
Whilst other Kindred spend their nights accumulating wealth, power and influence, Dale has unrelentingly pursued the vampiric arts. His initial command of Thaumaturgy surprised even his sire, and his progress with Auspex and Dominate was also rapid. His love of the worlds beyond, however, lead him into the arms of the Giovanni, and from them and with the blessings of the Tremere who were eager to add their feared Discipline to their repertoire, he learnt the basics, and later the finer points, of Necromancy.
In the present day, Dale stands at the highest levels he can achieve in Thaumaturgy and Necromancy, and near there in the practices of Auspex and Dominate. He is familiar with the paths of Blood, Flames, Mind, Conjuring, Corruption and Old Spirit Thaumaturgy, and has some knowledge of Weather Control. With Necromancy he has almost complete mastery of the Speulchre, Ash and Bone paths.
Early in his undeath, Sebastian learnt from members of the Straightjacket Dancing Club the basics of Obfuscate, but he never progressed further than being able to hide in plain sight.

Dale knows a great many rituals, and has even devised some of his own.
