Eugene Phillips

"''While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." - Eugene Debbs''

Life
Eugene Phillips was Born in the mid 1890's, the son of a traveling I.W.W. organizer, he was a Brujah from birth. Even when he was little he knew he fully believed in standing up against corporations, and "wage slavery". As a young man in life he was already serving blows to the powerful of Pittsburgh,helping to lead the Great Steel Strike of 1919. He studied under Eugene Debs, his name sake and many other of the other early socialist and solidarity unionism leaders, although being a hardworking Steel Worker, working hard labor and being very physically capable. Between the two endeavors he had inadvertently become the ideal candidate for the Brujah.

Embrace
Eugene was Embraced in 1920's War. His sire, was a Kindred by the name of Jose Valdez, a Unionist who would later on be stuck on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. It was an easy embrace, and one that was consensual as Jose promised it would give him the power to put those "Board room Bastards" back in their place. He targeted many of the Strike breakers that night that had long hounded his brothers in the Working class.

Unlife
In unlife Eugene continue to find a home among the United Steel Workers in Pittsburgh, working there even under Prince Roswell. It was his workers who were organizing and helping strike back against some of the Shadow partners of Steel companies that laid the group for The Baron to come in and start his revolt. It was his group in the city Brujah who had been fighting longer with in the politics of the city. He was never seen as a hero, and especially not like the Baron despite laying the foundations for the Anarch Revolt long before it came.

He still had a lot of sway after revolt, but recently he has been pushed aside due to the positions the Baron has taken. He and several of the long time Brujah moved from the haven on the Northshore to Rankin where the steel mills are located these day, which is well on the outskirts of the city.

He also is highly resentful of the Toreador, who he sees as growing and displacing the Brujah with in the city, as the leading clan.
