==Background:==
John Murral has been fighting since the day he was embraced. He went through the Sabbat Creation Rites just as the Sabbat were being pushed out of the United States by the Camarilla. Though created as cannon fodder and not expected to survive, his fervor earned him a place in the Sect. He has chewed his way up the ladder. Originally 10th generation, he has diabolized his way up to 7th.
Murral has always believed the Sabbat should move aggressively to regain its lost territory. He has been engaged in several plots to retake Louisiana, the first of which was a slave revolt he engineered in the 1830's. Each time, his plans have been blocked or foiled by the Camarilla, because he has never been able to muster the forces necessary to take New Orleans. He continues to struggle in this region, even though the Sect lost Texas 150 years ago and he is isolated.
Murrall's isolation has worked both for and against him. He was unable to convince Sabbat leaders that Louisiana is a priority. They prefer to concentrate on their victories in the Northeast. On the other hand, Murral avoided the Sect's infighting in the early part of the 20th century. Only one person in the region was strong enough to contest his position as Bishop, and she has never made a move in that direction. 
That one individual has long been a thorn in Murral's side. Muricia is the founder of the Ahrimanes blood line, and many Sabbat in this region owe their survival to her extensive knowledge of the wilderness and the shape shifters of the area. She has always been against Sabbat territorial expansion in Louisiana, however, preferring to concentrate on eliminating the Setites. She and Murrell have bickered bitterly about where the Sabbat should place its priorities.
In 1999 he was appointed to the Archbishop position contigent on taking New Orleans. It's become a priority among the Sabbats leadership, though the reasons for the turnaround are mostly unknown. He's put out a call for aid and it was answered by numerous nomandic packs, and they are now ready to strike.
