Appearance: The Golden Boy looks to be maybe 22 years old, with sharp features and a pale, gaunt face. He stands nearly 6 feet tall and is nearly always in motion, growing more and more jittery the longer he remains in one place.
Eerie Presence: There is a mild blurring effect around the Brujah as he moves, almost an afterimage following behind him.
Everywhere, people crave salvation. On occasion, in Pittsburgh, it’s delivered. Your mugger is thrown across the street, the cop chasing you turns to run after the burning man, or the industrial press stutters to a halt moments before it pulps your hand. You go home and kiss your partner, hug your children and call your parents. Later that night you rub at your eyes, trying to get at the sparks of gold at the edge of vision as you try to force your memories of the event to make sense.
Sometimes, that’s the end of it. You live for years on, and you often tell the stories of the day you were saved by the Golden Boy, the one who can do no wrong. Other times, your luck turns. Your house burns down - the files on your computer are uncovered, your friend discovers his conscience and suddenly all sorts of questions are at your heels. Slowly, and then all at once, it all comes to an end. Because it turns out, you weren’t worth saving.
And the Golden Boy can do no wrong.

- The Golden Boy is a serial diablerist.
- All of his talk about crusading is an entertaining diversion; pay attention to the people the bastard takes down, and you'll see there's always some way he stands to profit.
- If you want to find him, just walk into the biggest party in the city - better yet, start it. He'll be there.
