Requiem: The Capitol of Only Chances

Las Vegas never sleeps. Its Kindred do. Sometimes, its Kindred do not wake up. In many cities, vampires are the lords of the night. In Las Vegas, there exists only one lord of the night. The Count Manfred has been the sole ruler of Las Vegas's Kindred for as long as anyone can remember. He's a monstrous old beast, rarely seen, always feared. His rule has not been one of respect or love. 
He does not recognize the covenants of the damned. He hardly even recognizes the Traditions. He holds the Masquerade with a stranglehold, and even minor infractions result in terrible punishments, often death. He's been known to murder new childer, but has never formally recognized or refused Embraces. Many have gone by without acknowledgment. Amaranth barely seems to register on his radar. The rumor is that he's a prolific diablerist. 
Most of Las Vegas have not even seen Manfred. He holds no formal courts. Typically, if you see him, you've done something he does not approve of. He's left gruesome evidence of his wrath for certain Kindred to discover. Often, if he slaughters one of the city, he'll leave them for a friend or ally to find, or he'll do it with the friend as a witness. Word on the street is, he murders any Kindred that attempts to leave Las Vegas. While that seems improbable, there's no evidence of anyone ever leaving.
Sometimes, Kindred wake or find themselves in places with strange messages, warnings, and portents. More than a few of these messages have served as cautionary bits; when violated, the violators ended up dead. It's assumed these come from Manfred. There's plenty of evidence. Some might come from the witch hunters, capitalizing on the fear of Manfred.
