Character concept: Tacitus ex Tremere
Tacitus is a trusted magus who had been working his way up the Tremere hierarchy. He'd been getting ready to take an apprentice, had done postings both within and outside Transylvania. He has gained command of a magic vehicle (most build points will be going into this), and had been equipped with a couple of items or casting tablets from a zenodochium (see against the dark) so the vehicle could act as healing support to Tremere operations.
When the plague hit, the contingency was activated to send Tacitus' vehicle out to support. When it became clear no-one knew what the cause was, the contingency to either return home or evacuate was activated. As Transylvania is quarantined, evacuating to safety became his only option...
