He really should be lower than that.
[Edit: I forgot the normal 15 Freebie points a vampire gets at char-gen. Even so, it doesn't give him THAT much more to work with.]
The only explanation, of course, is that Damien's comparatively short unlife was more "exciting" than an "idle" Neonate of similar age. It would make sense for a Player Character, since their high-activity unlifestyles lead to them getting more unlife experiences (and thus Experience) than those actively avoiding unnecessary trouble. In that case, CTPhipps's spread would be more reasonable, assuming Damien was really active as an Anarch.
Having read the books long enough ago that my memory is spotty, I don't know if even that 4/4/3 spread is warranted by Damien's stated level of activity. Let alone whatever his actual spread is.
