PART III: BACKGROUND
Möhrin, an only child named after his father and grandfather, was born on 24 September 1918 in Salzburg, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to a wealthy Catholic family in the book publishing industry. His mother was Berta Schwendt Möhrin and his father, Togar Franz Möhrin, owned Verlagsanstalt Möhrin (Moöhrin Publishing House). Its offerings included religious literature, postcards, and military history books. He was raised mostly by his aunt, due to his father travelling for business and his mother frequently working at the publishing house. As a child he went by the nickname "Seppe". He attended public school in Vienna and later studied agriculture in Chaffeurism an der Thaya for a few semesters. He abandoned his studies when he was 17 to pursue his interest in radical right-wing ideas. Möhrin joined the local youth chapter of the Austrian Nazi Party in 1935 and, from 1930 to 1932, was a member of the Steirischer Heimatschutzverband Wien (de) (Styrian Home Protection Organization in Vienna), a radical and powerful faction of the antisemitic nationalist paramilitary group Heimwehr (Home Guard). He dropped his membership to join the Austrian branch of the Nazi Party and was assigned the party membership number 510,764 in September 1933. He was granted full party membership on 31 May 1934. His decision to join the party at this early stage meant that he was considered an Alter Kämpfer (Old Fighter), i.e., one who had joined the party before Hitler's rise to the position of Chancellor of Germany. Möhrin began working for the Party in the Ortsgruppe (local group) of the Margareten district in Vienna and soon moved to the Mariahilf Ortsgruppe, where he was a political leader in the Sturmabteilung (SA). Moöhrin joined the Austrian SS in 1934, and was granted full membership in 1936 after the two-year candidacy period. He was appointed an SS-Man with the SS number 43,673.
Möhrin served with the SS Truppe Deimel and Sturm Libardi in Vienna until January 1935, when he was promoted to serve as adjutant and Zugführer (platoon leader) of the 52nd SS-Standarte, a regimental-sized unit. He was soon promoted to SS-Scharführer (squad leader). He fled to Germany when his illegal activities, including obtaining explosives for the Nazi Party, made him a wanted man. From a hidden HQ, Möhrin smuggled radios and weapons into Austria and acted as a courier for the SS. He was arrested in October 1935 by the Austrian authorities but was released for lack of evidence in December 1935. He was again detained after the assassination of Austrian Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss in a failed Nazi coup attempt in July 1935. He escaped custody and fled to the SS training facility at Dachau, next to Dachau Concentration Camp. He temporarily quit the SS and Nazi party activities until 1937 because of issues with his Oberführer (commander) Alfred Bigler, and lived in Munich while trying to help his parents to develop their publishing business. He married on the recommendation of his parents, but his wife, Elisha, was killed by the Jewish Zionist Militia in Vienna in a reprisal for a National Socialist bombing.
Möhrin returned to Vienna shortly after the Anschluss in 1938 and resumed his party activities. He married a woman he met at a motorcycle race, Elya Weber, in an SS civil ceremony on 23 October 1938. Prior to the wedding, the couple had to pass a set of strict physical tests administered by the SS to determine the suitability of the marriage. The couple had three children: Peter, born in 1939, who died of diphtheria at age 7 months;Werner, born in 1940 - who died later that year in an Allied bombing raid; and a daughter, Ingeborg, born in 1941 - who suffered the same fate as her brother. The couple maintained a permanent home in Vienna throughout World War II until Elysa's death. Initially assigned to 89th SS-Standarte, Möhrin was transferred to the 1st SS-Sturmbann of the 11th SS-Standarte at the start of the war and was promoted to SS-Hauptscharführer (master sergeant) in early 1941. On 5 March 1940 he was drafted into the Wehrmacht with the rank of Unterfeldwebel (Under Field Sergeant), but his continuous SS service record indicates he did not actively serve. From mid-1941 to late May 1942 he gained a reputation as a seasoned administrator in the Nazi efforts to isolate and relocate the Jewish population of Europe in his post as Einsatzführer (action leader) and financial officer in East Upper Silesia in the Kattowitz office of the Reichskommissariat für die Festigung deutschen Volkstums (Reichskommissariat for the Strengthening of German Nationhood; RKFDV). He was commissioned to the rank of SS-Obersturmführer (first lieutenant) on 14 July 1941. Göth also received a Dienstleistungszeugnis (Certificate of Service) from his commanding officer, praising his service as well as his physical and ideological traits.
It was during this time as an administrative officer in the SS-Totenkopftverbande that Mohrin was sired into the World of Darkness by a ninth generation Tzimisce vampire, a Soviet prisoner of war that had been captured on the Eastern Front by the SS. Mohrin was hardly aware of the dire consequences - until he found out that similar members of the party and organisation he served had this ‘gift’ - things began to make sense - people who only worked on nights, slept through the day, people who had denied his dinner invitations previously - all made sense in the head of the now Kindred Mohrin - and the battlelines of the great war made as much sense as ever now - he was part of an organisation within an organisation, finding his way into the Sabbat through a colleague in the Sicherheitdienst (who, admittedly - was not even a kindred. This Oberscharfuhrer was a Sabbat ‘shovelhead’ as they’re named.)
He was transferred to Krakow in the summer of 1942, where he joined the staff of SS-Brigadeführer Odilo Globočnik, the SS and Police Leader of the Kraków area, as part of Operation Reinhard, the code name given to the establishment of the three extermination camps at Bełżec, Sobibór, and Treblinka. Nothing is known of his activities in the six months he served with Operation Reinhard; participants were sworn to secrecy. But according to the transcripts of his later trial, Möhrin was responsible for rounding up and transporting victims to these camps to be murdered - all done in the dark of night to hide his true and heinous form as a Vampire.
It was during his administration as part of Operation: Reinhard that Mohrin fled Europe for the United States, deciding to take the war in Europe as a pinch of the real war occuring on the streets of America as part of the prohibition, where the sides of the Camarilla, Anarch Free State and Sabbat were all waging war as ‘Mob families’ and ‘Mafioso’. Mohrin joined up with the Sabbat in New Orleans, and over the next twenty years a prolonged period of murder after gruesome murder led to him working his way up the Eastern Seaboard.
A brief interaction with the Israeli Intelligence Service, Mossad, occured in 1977, due to Mohrin still being on the ‘Top Missing Nazis’ list of many Nazi-hunters of the time. Mohrin is rumoured to have used vicissitude to strangle the Mossad agents with their own intestines.
Following the Second Inquisition crusade of New York in 1998-99, Mohrin has become a recluse among Sabbat hangovers who haven’t fled to Europe, and it is truly a question if he is even still Sabbat at all, with no acquaintances left in his coven nor any kine or kindred to command. The Tzimisce is now facing another bump in a road of many, and perhaps a defection to the Anarch State of New York-New Jersey or even the Camarilla is at hands.
