Background
Domnall was born in 1044 AD to a warehouser in the city of Dunbar in Scotland. He was the third born son. His early childhood was spent normally. At the age of six (1050 AD), he was taken as an apprentice by Duncan Sharpwit of House Tremere at the Covenant of Horsingas in the . At the age of 21 he completed his apprentice's gauntlet. After that he accompanied his master until his master's death. At the request of the Primus of the Covenant of Horsingas, Domnall had joined the Covenant of Loch Leglean to try to uncover information about problems for the Order within the tribunal.
Domnall's Personal History
Description
Domnall is a tall, handsome young man. He is of obvious Scottish stock, with light brown hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. He has a somewhat slim build, although it is clear that he is probably notably stronger than average. Others quickly note that he is quite personable and very charming, especially when he wants something or around a pretty girl.

| 1 October 1067 |
Arrived at the covenant of Loch Laggan in the Loch Leglean Tribunal with Christoph and Coenrad.
Met the covenant's autocrat, Sim. Learned about the older resident magi; Lucas (Flambeau, age 99, a bit of an elementalist), Eric (Tremere, age unknown, suspected by the primus of Horsangas of disloyalty to the Order of Hermes), and ??? (Tytalus, the primus of the covenant). Also found out about the other new magi at the covenant; Shawn (Verditius), Viktor Czuela (Tremere, former apprentice of Eric and also suspect), Ian Miller (Merinita, away at another covenant), Marcus (Tytalus), ??? (Tytalus), Ivan Valist (Bjorner), and Egar (Criamon). Met Ivan (aloof and distant) and Egar (weird, but seemingly outgoing and in contact with the world, unlike others of his house). Was shown to some nice underground quarters. The covenant overall was a pretty dead place. Nothing was happening. [Note to self: invent Disco, or something else to relieve the boredom here.] When asked, the autocrat said the only thing he expected to happen in the near future was the annual vis gathering expedition. Asked him if it could be done immediately so there was something to do. He replied later that it would start the next day. Ivan and Egar said they would go, along with Ivan's big friend. |

Lookin' For Da Vis. Went with Ivan, Egar, Victor (Ivan's BIG companion who doesn't seem to speak either Latin or Gaelic), Coenred, and a grog, Tim, from the covenant to collect some of Loch Laggan's annual vis. The location, known to Tim, of the vis was a cave near the sea to the south of the covenant.
The trip there was uneventful, and Tim had no problem locating the cave. Entering we encountered a great hole in the floor of the cave which had only slim ledges on either side. Tim fell while trying to cross, but a line tied to him prevented him from falling too far. However, he suffered a broken leg. We had to take him back to the entrance. We then stiffened a rope to act as a safety line along the ledge. The rest of the party crossed safely, although Egar proved to be rather clumsy. In a large chamber we began to find the colored stones of vis. While Egar, Victor, Coenred, and myself collected the vis, Ivan, who could change into a huge white tiger (he later said it was something called a "Siberian Tiger"), checked the chamber. He found a big pool of water from which a large lizard (possibly an Indonesian Cave Lizard) attacked. Ivan and Victor fought the lizard, but did not seem to hurt it. Both were badly injured, and Ivan had his right arm broken. I stepped in and used a Ball of Abysmal Flame on the creature. It was obviously hurt and retreated to the pool. Other than helping Tim, there were no problems getting out of the cave or getting back to the covenant the next day. We collected 38 pawns of vis.
