While Meerlinda was receiving her new assignment, Xavier de Cincao was being
reassigned from his Barcelona chantry to the South American continent. His
territory also includes Mexico and the Carribean.
Though he has achieved much with this territory, his achievements do not
compare with Meerlinda's and he has not hidden his envy. Still, it is only
fair to point out that Xavier has had many more stumbling blocks in his
mission than Meerlinda has. Groups such as the Sabbat and the Followers
of Set had already established a strong presence in the continent before
Xavier's arrival, but his major problem has always been and will continue
to be the mysterious force which lurks somewhere in the Amazon rain forest.
This force has never been identified or even seen, but Xavier is sure it
exists and is watching his every move. In fact, Xavier is partly responsible
for the current widespread burning out of the rain forest as part of his
campaign to eliminate this force.
Xavier's most unusual achievement has been his forming of alliances with
various non-vampiric groups. He is almost surely the only Tremere who has
ties to such groups as the fey and the shapeshifters; even, if rumor is
to be believed, to the mages. This last would be particularly unusual, as
the current Order of Hermes (the most powerful of the existing mage houses)
holds great animosity towards the Tremere. They charge that the Tremere
constant support of universities and science has all but destroyed the mage
houses by nearly eliminating belief in magic. The Tremere, of course, are
doing this simply to support the Masquerade by reducing the possibility
that people will be superstitious enough to believe in vampires.
Another interesting fact about Xavier is that his influence has been noted
in various plots which have absolutely nothing to do with his territory.
Due to this, his loyalty has been questioned, but so far only in whispers.
It may be that his jealousy of Meerlinda's achievements has spurred him
to become involved in areas which he views as more profitable.
