==Background==
P.B.C. "Pinch" Pinchback was a free black man, who made a good living as a riverboat gambler along the Mississippi. After the civil war, he used his money to launch a political career, taking advantage of the new black power during Reconstruction. He was elected lieutenant governor, became governor for 25 days after the death of his white predecessor, and was finally elected the US Senator of Louisiana. Pinch's career ended there, however. Unknown to him, Pinch had been the ghoul of the Brujah vampire Annie Christmas all this time. The changing circumstances of the 1880's forced her to embrace him. He was unable to continue in politics, and in any case, reconstruction was ending.
The next 50 years were bad ones for the blacks and the Brujah, and Pinch made due as best he could. He took to controlling several gambling houses, and was often at odds with the Ventrue organized crime elements of the city. Pinch was resourceful though, and managed to rebuild his wealth. He branched out of the white community, and took to controlling white businesses, much to the disgust of his sire, Annie.
When the civil rights issues of the 1960's rolled around, Pinch was taken completely by surprise. He had been so used to black oppression that he never conceived of anything different. Pinch was shaken, and reconciled himself with Annie, and together they worked to help lift up the black community.
