Anatole is the signature character for the Malkavian clan in Vampire: The Masquerade and Dark Ages: Vampire. Spiritual in life and a religious fanatic in undeath (he follows the Road of Heaven and possesses True Faith), Anatole has had visions of Gehenna for most of his existence. He originally sought to guide vampires to fulfil their part of God's plan, but in the Final Nights he acts more as a prophet of doom. While second to his friend Beckett as a Gehenna scholar, Anatole possesses unique insights and seeks to rid himself of his own demons by finding the truth behind vampiric existence. He travels the world with Beckett and Lucita, deferring to her on matters of survival and diplomacy.
