Yeah I think thatās less to do with the power of crosses than Westās brute strength. But Father Charles and Memeskia do manage to take him down eventually.

the only reason they managed to get the drop him because they work together or the mc distract west long enough for chaime carlos to smash his silver maul onto west head
had he was alone and unbothered by the others he would have easily destroy him

True enough. Although Memeskia can kill him on his own, particularly if our good selves have managed to soften him before hand.

My theory has always been that Jackson āfound redemptionā under Memphis, and was a vampire who turned himself human.

I was about to bring him up 
The way Lesczynski talks him up is kind of strange. As is he were more than a manā¦
My comment had more context than that. But if we go by whoās older I agree with you.
I like this theory but we have to define this āredemptionā.

I quite like that idea and makes sense considering what Lynsnski (I canāt remember how to spell it) tells us. Makes us wonder about his attempted assassination and how his would be murderer claims to be Richard III and Jackson his bookkeeper. Very Shakespearean view of old Richard Gloucester I must say.
@CaballeroDeAndromeda And thinking about it, he coughs up a lot of blood at the party! Which is what a vampire with strong willpower does when they eat small bits of food! This is an exciting thread of thought.

I just phrased it like that because a high perception MC who finds the chamber under Memphis says someone āfound redemptionā.

my theory is that he fiercely dislike abolitionists and he support southren postmasters which gave them discretionary power to either send or detain anti slavery tracts
another one is that he is a freemason and that chamber has something to do with it

no the reason he cough blood because he suffered lung injury
This is fascinating. Since you bring up the masons @Canix, thereās a small bit of code I found about how we can actually join the Masons Lodge in Memphis, has anyone ever managed to do it? This of course assumes oneās already been admitted to the order in the first part of the game and is white and all the rest of it.
@Canix Yeah I know that of course. But if we followed the theory that he was a vampire that at some point turned to man, itās an interesting correlation where he passes off the coughing up blood as from being wounded but is actually caused by his vampirism as a vampire can cough up blood, especially if theyāve tried to eat and drink. In other words, the injury, is a cover story.

and senate canditate absalom pickering
while in new orleans itās andrew jackson which is why he know about the mc is a vampire because of his affliation with the mason

Thatās all true and like you Iāve seen all that. As well as being able to join from Jesse if our relations are high enough too. There is a line in the code though, about actually being able to join the lodge itself. I shall delve once more into the depths and see if I can find out how to do it.
Edit:
That would be another explanation, wouldnāt it? We are really going off loose hints for a game that hasnāt yet been completed and is still going over some revision.
I know this too. But Iāll see what I can find.
Perhaps someone might know how to join the mortal ledge, but Iāll certainly write back to this comment section if I find out how to do it.

Yeah he is. Usually, heāll give a hand signal to the character if oneās a member at the end of the first pre caucus reception. And, if weāre friendly enough with him, and we go exploring the town after the first caucus, as opposed to going to the opera house, he offers to admit us to the order. Previously Iāve been able to do that with the Dutchman as the Dominus too, so itās not exclusive to the Frenchman, even if heās the only one of the Domini to admit us personally.

Is Agility 3, Strength 4 and Fighting 1 plus a weapon enough for Memeskia to survive against West?

Yes, though I think you would need some west_downfall

Wouldnāt a weapon or hired help make up for the one point lacking in Fighting?
Stat increases are hard to come by in Choice of the Vampire. My character still canāt read because thereās always something else Iād rather add another point to.
