I want to express my appreciation again for all of the feedback. Laszlo has been reworked and is presented again below as if he has just completed his apprenticeship. I have not worked specific dates of birth, covenant names, etc. Marko if you have specifics for me to tie in with please let me know.
- Virtues and Flaws include hermetic flaws to show his rigid style of casting without making him incompatible with House Tremere.
- Characteristics redistributed to be more in line with the house. Focusing more on the observant and methodical than the social.
- Abilities reevaluated and more focused.
- Arts more in line with his role as an information gatherer, while still having a hint of House specialties.
- New selection of spells to further his above role.

Notes:
Mester Domonkos and Maga Virag gave birth to their first and only child in the year of our Lord 11??. Both were magi in good standing with a minor Tremere covenant recessed in the Carpathian Mountains. The couple never wed though they retained an intense, if somewhat sporadic, relationship. Left in the care of a mid-wife, Laszlo's latent gift was discovered by his mother.
The boy grew up with a handful of other coven children, but superstition kept them isolated from the surrounding villages. He learned quickly of discipline and respect for elders, to be proud of his covenant-family, and to make himself scarce when the magi were not in the mood for childish antics. He explored the lands surrounding the covenant, hiking and learning the nuances of the mountains.
Quite often the covenant would have visitors, almost always wearing the similar dark robes as the covenant magi wore. Some stayed for several seasons, some for a brief visit. Shortly after his sixth birthday, Laszlo left his home covenant with a Hispanus Magus named Ramiro. Ramiro became his master and took him to a covenant in the Guadarrama mountains, north of Madrid. There he began his studies in the Hermetic arts and travelled with his master through the areas of Southern France, and the kingdoms of Hispania to include Portugal, Leon, Castille, Aragon, and Navarre.
As an assessor, Laszlo's training has been stretched into a broad range of disciplines in social and arcane abilities. His role is to be observant and to listen, and when the time is appropriate, to communicate and act. He prefers indirect action over outright physical confrontation, but he will not shirk when words fail.
