Biography: Though many of the details of Arich Dolen's embrace remain a point of which he rarely speaks, research will show that the name appears in no record, mortal or Kindred, before 1865.
Embraced by John Harris, Dolen was raised with the help of his Grandsire, James Bruno. Harris and Bruno, well-established in various locations throughout the northern United States, were also known to keep the company of Don Diego de la Corazon, a Lasombra of Camarilla lineage, as well as Emily Maguire of Clan Toreador.
After gaining significant fortune with this coterie during prohibition, Arich Dolen left for Washington state in the 1950's, where he asserted control over one of the Prince's. There was a scandal in the 1960's where Dolen was accused by one Brujah of murdering another. However, his accuser made the mistake of attacking, and Dolen destroyed him. On the Brujah's remains, Dolen discovered evidence which indicated that his attacker was, in fact, the murderer.
Severing his ties with the Prince in 2000 and moving to Milledgeville, GA, Arich Dolen served Prince Robert de Rainault in a number of capacities, including Seneschal. He underwent a religious conversion to Catholicism with de Rainault's guidance, and is now known to be far more merciful than the average Prince, often to his disadvantage.
In Spring of 2002, Dolen disappeared, suddenly leaving his position as Seneschal of Georgia. Though his holdings remained intact, and the occassional letter was sent, his whereabouts were unknown. He returned in the Fall of 2002, just before a Sabbat invasion swept the Milledgeville Domain, weeks after Prince de Rainault abdicated the throne.
The next winter, Dolen joined the survivors of the Milledgeville Domain, including Jon Sebastian of Clan Brujah, Lilyanna Salvatore and Selina Kyle of Clan Toreador, Brian Faulkner of Clan Ventrue, and Simon of Georgia of Clan Assamite. The War Council of Georgia, once a board of warriors and strategists for the Domain of Georgia, reformed under Arich Dolen for the express purpose of retaking Atlanta from Sabbat hands.
After a few months of success, and a strong increase in Kindred population, Arich Dolen claimed the Domain of Carrollton as his own on April 26, 2003. He retains it to this day, after two failed attempts to take it from him. However, supernatural activity in Georgia is not to be taken lightly, and vampires are the least of Arich Dolen's worries.
