Vampire 20th edition character idea that I'd like to play

I created a character a while back for a v20 game that never got off the ground, and i wanted to see if there was anyone who had a game he might fit in, or might be willing to start a new game for him.

The character is a Giovanni that is approximately 100 years old, being a ghoul for an extended period of time before his embrace, and then serving as the slave-like assistant to a mafia-focused Giovanni enforcer.  The basic concept is that he is an often abused but technically proficient necromancer and adviser, who has recently been given his freedom by the unexpected death of his cruel "uncle," who he served for over 80 years (the uncle took on very similar characteristics to Joe Pesci's character in Goodfellas in my head, only with an even more inhuman side).  He believes he will be held accountable for his master's death, so he flees the region and moves to a new city.  His goal is to find work as a necromancer and general troubleshooter for the court or whatever power structure is in place, in an attempt to make himself valuable enough that when his clan inevitably comes looking for him, he can use his new found value to convince them to leave him be.

I feel like he has a lot of story possibility, and a lot of aspects that can be explored in relation to his new work, his general awkwardness at working independently, and his lack of experience in being his own master.  He could even have a comedic aspect, since I feel like his personality would lend him to getting stuck in tangles of favors with other vampires, ghosts, and even humans, trying to make a place for himself and being too afraid to draw a lot of attention.

statistically, he needs to be beyond starting level, to show his longer life and to give him the skills to work as a necromancer for hire.  He doesn't need to be too experienced, somewhere well into the ancilla range makes the most sense.

In reply to gladiusdei (msg # 1):

if Gladiusdei doesn't mind, I wouldn't mind joining in. I like to play Tremere and having a fellow spellcaster could be interesting. I could see a partnership forming. Of course this depends on if a GM would like to take on this idea.

Gladiusdei sounds like a Tremere ally, if done correctly. If he was willing to trade knowledge, they could help him in a new city

I'd be willing to work with just about anyone, if it fit into a game.
