This is a partial collection of his backstory and some facts that might be relevant or available with minor digging based on his Former Prince Flaw
1949: Guivre sells out his sire to the longtime Prince of Paris, Francois Villon, earning himself passage out of Europe to the New World on the Prince’s dime. Solis disappears soon after, his fate likely sealed by the cold calculus of Kindred politics.
(Whether he met final death, torpor, or some other grim fate, Guivre never inquired. For him, the act was a means to an end, not a moment of personal reckoning.)
1950: Guivre moves to New Orleans and joins the Praxis there in Good Standing with a letter of support from Prince Villon of Paris. (Status 2)
1950-54: Prince Doran continues to assert his power over the domains of Louisiana, battling Mages and Lupines alike until the 1950s, when he began to raise his expectations about the future of New Orleans. He finally decided to move on with his plan, and wanted to use the occasion of his 250th anniversary in Louisiana to harmoniously unite mortals and vampires without the deceptive veil of the Masquerade.
1955: A few weeks after he announces his plan to his trusted allies, Doran is assassinated by an unknown assailant. No one suspects Guivre or anyone else in the Prince’s close retinue.
1956-1994: Guivre takes on the mantle of Prince of New Orleans. He serves in this role for almost forty years, achieving some kind of tense peace with the local Lupines.
1995: Guivre steps down as Prince of New Orleans, he tells others he had a vision. A vision of greatness in the west, a calling he must attend, even if it means he leaves behind a power vacuum in the historically Malkavian state of Louisiana.
1995: Former Prince of New Orleans, peacemaker, madman, and guru, Guivre Gautier, moves to Houston.
