Not necessarily a vampire. Check Mercurio. If there's anybody lost in the seventies, it's him, but he sure doesn't look 60. He looks 30. So maybe ghouls lives are extended as well. That would explain the drinking blood, the prolonged life, and his death. He does have a corpse, after all. If he was a vampire who had been killed, he would have been ashes. So, if anything, I'd think he was some vampire's ghoul.
I also know what that something powerful that Beckett and Strauss sense is. It's you. Andrei says it himself - first that you're powerful, and when you finally kill him, he says you are much more powerful than at your last meeting.
Consider. You're embraced, and in a short time, you slaughter the Giovanni, the Society of Leopold, The Kuei-Jin, Andrei and all his creatures, the Sabbat, the Sherriff, a whole whack of Ventrue, and Lacriox himself.
At the end of the day, you leave only two groups in place. A leaderless Camarilla, and the Anarchs. Everybody else is done. Don't tell me that's the work of a newly embraced fledgling, unless that fledgling was truly powerful.
The reason why most people don't notice it's you is simply because you
are a fledgling. By the time they would notice that what you were doing was far and away above what one would reasonably expect from a fledgling, it's too late. Lacriox is just thrilled with your success and is too preoccupied with his coffin to notice. By the time Beckett would notice that it's you, he's left. By the time Ming might have noticed it, you kill her. Nines is too young. Jack might know, but he's not talking. The cabbie certainly knows, but he, too, is not talking.
Again, the air is rife with 'why's and 'wherefore's, but at the sticking-point, that impending disaster in the air? It's you.
