{=Clan: Ventrue=} J;ohn; was born in Glasgow but went to University in Edinburgh where he failed at Business. Hasn't stopped him being a successful small business owner, having made a fun trade with a porn shop he got into the higher turn over with his large B&B - clientele is more pleasant too.

He's 32 but says he is 27. Knows his way around the Disco floor although should know better ... fancies himself as a ladies man, and although is not as good as he used to be, he still gets a few one night stands here and there. He keeps a secret that gnaws at him however - for a time at University he bunked down with a Professor and although no one beside them knew about it, he is still afraid it will get out, a decade later.

He has got no head for booze but likes the weed, and grows a stash under a heat-lamp in the basement - makes plenty more than it costs him by selling some to foreign students passing through.

He's converted the large old Victorian manor into a 7 bedroom 1 office B&B and his next venture is to pick up another property (or two) towards the coast, to pick up the high class customers. The moneys in the bank `- it is just finding the time... his one hired help (a student) isn't enough and he has yet to find another trustworthy soul to hire.
