Isabelle had a lovely life - one of those perfect idylls that everyone is jealous of.
Whilst at university, she met and married Sam Fairfax, and they had a child together, named Amalthea.
Whilst she and Sam were on their honeymoon, they were attacked by a Gangrel named Martin Durgan, notorious for his evil deeds.
He embraced Isabelle to become part of his zoo of supernatural animals. His actions were purely based on physical attraction and whimsy. At the same time he embraced her husband Sam, and left him in the night.
After three weeks of constant torture, Isabelle managed to transform herself into the form of a wolf, and was placed inside the zoo of her sire, an exhibit for those who wanted to see, and enjoy.
The following years were harsh, pain-filled and soul-destroying.
Finally, a combination of circumstances ended with Isabelle's escape. She ran for five years, never daring to stop in case she should turn round and find Martin smiling at her.
She was finally found by a Toreador, called Frances Meecham.
Treated better, but still a toy, Isabelle was finally told what she was - a vampire. And slowly she began to realise the full extent of what had happened to her.
Her baby was dead. Her husband, as far as she knew was dead.
So she ran again.
Now she is living in Hatfield. Her husband isn't dead, and she has found him again. However, Martin has also found her, and seems hell-bent on something. Isabelle just has to find out what. Early guesses are that it involves a lot of torture.
