==Background==
Marguerite Defallier owned several houses of ill-repute in post-civil war New Orleans, and through them had plenty of material with which to blackmail local authorities. She was safe from mortal interference, but not safe, unfortunately, from immortal plans. Accou needed a powerful and cunning lieutenant to help him consolidate his power, but one that would not seem too threatening to the city's other elders, since he was not ready to make his move. Marguerite was ideal: ruthless and knowledgeable, but a woman.
Accou made Marguerite's transition to vampiric life as smooth as possible, and she continued to run her houses, feeding off her girls. With Accou help, she expanded her influence into legitimate businesses, and became quite wealthy. Once Accou was firmly established as prince, Marguerite sponsored many artistic presentation in the city, as well as having a major hand in the first New Orleans world fair.
As she grew older, Marguerite began to realize her limits, as a Poseur in a clan of Artistes. Accou became attracted to the neonate Katherine, something Marguerite has never forgotten. Then, when Accou acted as if he were under the influence of the "true" prince, he withdrew all his support, and Marguerite had to fend for herself. Marguerite was left with the unenviable task of running the city without the full benefit of being prince.
She could very well have made her own bid for power, but Marguerite had her own secret: she was desperately in love with Accou. Even after he abandoned her, she wished to do nothing to harm him. Slowly other vampires took the work of maintaining the city, such as Krewe of Janus enforcing the Masquerade, but Marguerite retained her power and influence.
