Verdier is a Master of the Night who lived in Paris. Humans weren’t enough for him, he wanted to control all the Masters of the Night. He met Tenardier, an architect and alchemist member of the cult of the Great Old Ones, who offered him greater power in exchange of immortality as one of his un-deads. Tenardier and his followers were about the fulfill a ritual that was supposed to turn Verdier in a superior being, but Araxe De Kerkadio intervened to stop it and threw Verdier into the sacrificial pit. That caused a great explosion to occur, sign of the rage of the ancient gods. She thought that was the end, but it was still alive. Tenardier brought him to one of his manors, where Verdier recovered his strength, but, the Great Old Ones turned him into a mindless and horrible monster. With time, Verdier expanded himself in the entire mansion, becoming one with it, and started to consume the people who set up home there, turning them into his slaves.
