Rex Velvet is the stage name of the Malkavian Paul Crocetti, known throughout the late 20th Century as Dean Martin. Paul was embraced in 1969 by a mad Malkavian intent on destroying the Masquerade; but Paul proved quite capable, and amenable to the instruction of other, more stable Kindred. By 1987, following the death of his mortal son, Paul was working as an Archon for Maris Streck, eventually taking her place after her death in 2003.
Paul was present for the fall of London in 2012 - a series of events which seem to have scarred the vampire emotionally. The Justicar Paul Crocetti disappeared, and is presumed to have met his destruction in those events.
Rex Velvet got off the plane in San Augustin in 2013 and has lived at the Menendez International Airport ever since. Rex seems to have no conscious recollection of his life as Paul - either on or off the stage, living or dead; though he is aware of Dino's fame and works as a fantastic Dean Martin impersonator in the Come Fly With Me Lounge.

Rex speaks English and Italian.
