Captain Richard Tompkin

*“Nowadays, people who need to maintain law and order behave like terrorists to plunge their flight into common man's building, the policeman”― P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar*

## Early Life

Richard Thompkin's early life would give most psychologists great concern. A History of Arson, Bedwetting and animal cruelty. Richard was born to be a Psychopath, instead he became a Police Officer, one as corrupt as they come. An active Member of the F.O.P as a patrolman. Richard extorted many criminal using the F.O.P to protect him from any actual prosecution and when they didn't work, well no one cares about a dead drug dealer or dead prostitute in river.

## Internal Affairs

With growing power in the F.O.P. Richard managed to finagle a job inside Internal Affairs, thanks to his new minted friend C.M. Marlowe. He is a well known ghoul, probably the second most notable one after Kray, and uses his position within Internal Affairs to cover up breaks in the Masquerade, and corruption on the Police force. He is known for brining in many other Officer into the ghouldom of C.M. and for solidifying Quinn's hold on the PBP of Pittsburgh.

He has an utter disdain for the "BY's" and "The Marked" partly because of Quinn, partly because they're his personal competition as a violent force in Pittsburgh.

He is also the master finder of Ventrue human pawn, Jeremiah Kray.

They did not take place on any side of the revolt, and are known for sticking near the Blooming Field Bridge, and Bloomingfield in general hiding in among the "Weird" individuals, who have gentrified the neighborhood.

They, like the Nosferatu , have traditionally been felt then seen, typically at the corner of your eye when passing over any of the other bridges in Pittsburgh, with interment trouble causing, considering the Clan's penchant for madness, and "pranks" but C.M. and Mitch both tend to over look and even actively help cover up a lot of their mischief, despite having little time for any cause by the other Clans.

*"The urge to destroy is also a creative urge."-Pablo Picasso*

## Life

In life Gypsum, was an artist. She grew up with a love of art. Always asking to be taken to museum, doing well in art classes on the compound. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the compound rules at all. It was all focused on the next life, the eternal one, and there was the ever present "Shepard" to keep them on the path to that.

They all followed the path of harmony there, and it truly let her paintings and her soul blossom. She was so excited it was her turn to she the Shepard in person on her 16th birthday.

Eventually landing in the ever growing Pittsburgh area of the late 1950's. She always remembered Shepard's teaching's about how the Camerilla saw him a break in the masquerade and never trusted the Camerilla, always using her art hidden in public to send messages to other dissenter.

It was when the revolt started she knew she could be a of use. She gave information on the Camerilla toreador and even help lead some of the ambushes.

Eventually at the end she found her self in charge, she was the leader know and she taught the other Toreador, how to be free. Felix was basically a walking social plague after the Camerilla failed after all, and she knew all about freedom Until Jamie Lain entered the picture, who showed them how to tow the line between freedom and subservience. She was slowly pushed to the side. Still respected but no longer the leader.

## Life

Michael "Golden Gloves" Goldman was a one time contender for the big time in boxing. His biggest problem in life though was that he couldn't keep it in the ring. Notorious at the amateur level for never losing, he would pick a fight with anyone anywhere. This kept him in trouble with the cops, and the local Amateur Boxing association. Eventually earning him a life time Ban. There are a few videos of him about where he had resorted to street fights for his kicks. Although even that career was ended short after getting to drunk at a Bar in Rankin.

## Embrace

Goldman lost his first and last fight at least during his lifetime, that night. He had picked a fight against a Brujah, who he didn't catch his name. The guy didn't embrace him though just left him beaten and bleeding. Apparently attracting some other Kindred to his side.

She was known often for her kindness using her magicks to heal the sicks and ease the ailments of those who were suffering. She mainly stayed in the northwest, and often found ways of extending her life.

Being a child of Carna he also saw great potential in her especially after she had already manage feats such as life extension without vitae.

East End (South)

The southern half of Pittsburgh's East End is all colleges. The people here are more on guard than other Districts, so it makes for an excellent place to haven but not a particularly great place to feed. More Notably is that is that it contains the one openly Camerilla section of the city, even if does belong to the sympathetic House Carna of the Tremere, with the anarchs tend to stay away from their particular domain, unless they have business.

### Neighborhoods

**Oakland** the East End (South) is Pittsburgh's university district, home to Pittsburgh University, Dusquesne University, and Carnegie Mellon University. It's squarely Tremere turf.

**Shadyside**  is Pittsburgh's most gentrified neighborhood.It's clean, it's pretty, and it's safe, so it's not a great place to feed, but it's a great place to open a wine bar, a bistro, or whatever the hell a Gastropub is. This area has been taken up by a lot of the Caitiffs to haven in.

**Squirell Hill**  pretty much just two parks, and a place for wayward and sick kids, Rumor has it the Circulatory System runs this area.

### Notable Places

**Oakland**

* Carnegie Mellon University - One part socially-awkward foreigners, one part sexually-liberated art kids. Shake well and pour over ice, and too much funding. Technically the headquarters of the Chantry although most experiments and 'research takes places inside the Cathedral of learning"
* Carnegie Museum of Art and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History - They're museums.
* Hemingway's Cafe - Hemingway's is the go to Student bar for those unwilling to head to the party scenes elsewhere.

* University of Pittsburgh\* - It's a state school known being not as good Carnergie Mellon, it's other claim to fame is the Cathedral of Learning a Part of University of Pitt’s Landscape stainding at 42-stories in a Late Gothic Revival Cathedral is the tallest educational building in the West, and the house many Tremere experiments.

**Shadyside**

* Ellsworth Avenue - If you like to eat bacon or the LGBTQ scene, then have I got a neighborhood for you!
* South Highland Avenue - Overpriced furniture by day, questionable sports bars by night.

* Walnut Street - It's kind of like if a bunch of tiny art galleries opened next to a bunch of Banana Republics.

**Squirrel Hill**

* Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh - a nonprofit organization dedicated to children with special needs and their families
* Shenley Park - A big ass park that contains the Phipps Conservatory
* Frick Park - A big ass park that does not contain the Phipps Conservatory
Lars Whitehall

*What do you mean "gangsters"? It's business." -Abraham Polonsky*

## Life

There isn't much to say about the life of Lars Whitehall. He grew up on the streets, eventually joining the "BY's" and growing to their leadership through his ability to quickly and profitable move "product". Which made him a valuable asset. It should be noted he was a ghoul of Mitch Chambers for about the 1st two after the Anarch Revolt.

## Embrace

As the leader of the "BY's" he was a valuable ghoul and asset to Mitch in his ability to acquire, move and distribute drugs and items around the city. Being a ghoul for several decades, eventually striking a deal with Mitch to be Embraced, after he managed to plant evidence on a cop that had been a long time thorn in Mitch's side, that not even Internal Affairs could over up.

## Unlife

Lars didn't exhibit any of the known traits of the Gangrel upon his embrace, which caused some consternation among them. Still loyal to Mitch he is also a growing power among the Caitiff convincing a few to also work for Mitch.

He is also one of the biggest peddlers of Kine on substances for the leisure of certain Kindred.
Society of Leopold

*“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.”― Mother Teresa*

## The Hunters

The **Society of Leopold** is a faction within the Inquisition who exist to pursue and fight supernaturals. They are a major threat to every group of supernaturals because of their extensive knowledge, training, equipment, preparation and fanatical zeal. Connected historically with the Church and born from the ashes of the 1st inquisiton

## Inolvment with the Second Inquisition

After 2004, the NSA managed to crack SchreckNet and gained firsthand knowledge of the existence of a race of undead bloodsuckers that were spread in all corners of the world. Sharing their knowledge with other intelligence agencies, the united secret services contacted the Vatican, whom they knew to have experience fighting the undead. The Church accepted, granting them access to its resources as well as the experienced witch-hunters of the Society of Leopold.

## Involvement in Pittsburgh

The Society hasn't been seen in Pittsburgh yet, but with thier new connections to the NSA it is beleived it is only a matter of time.
Downtown

Downtown is the business sector of Pittsburgh. It features High rises and Headquarters and it is the center of the city, in other word lots of people work here, but most of them don't live here, so at night it's pretty sparse, even though all of the bars and clubs and museums and theaters are open late. Most of that traffic takes the Liberty Bridge to Carson Street to party. Downtown is not a popular place to feed, but that isolation probably appeals to some , on top of it being the center of money and power in Pittsburgh. Most Kindred rarely find a reason to travel to here, but may travel through here. The Baron has put a moratorium on havening in this part of the city, mainly as revenge against the Ventrue and ex-Camerilla Toreador.

## Notable Locations

* Benedum Center - Home to the Pittsburgh Opera and Pittsburgh Ballet and popular with the Camerilla Toreador before the revolution.
* Console Energy Center - The arena where the Penguins consistently lose to the Flyers was handcrafted by Mario Lemieux.
* Heinz Hall - Home to the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra another popular place with the the old Camerilla during their time controlling the city.
* Market Square - An extremely public place perfect for conducting clandestine business, somehow, a favorite of Jamie to conduct her "Emissary" missions on home her home "turf"
* Tilden - Famous and long standing bar, one of the many possible Elysium Locations in the city.
* US Steel Tower - The tallest building in Pittsburgh, and once the Haven for the old Prince.
* Fort Dusquene and Point State Park Fountain - historical landmarks.

They were once a large Chantry until many of them were asked to move to New York to either fight against the Sabbat or set and up Chantries within the City. This has lead Carnegie Mellon University a little more open as that was their strong hold, while House Carna has always been closer to the Pittsburgh University Campus. Although Kindred hiding as staff get switched between the three University.

## Early Life

Royalafonte Gains had a rough youth. Growing up in a Fire and Brimstone church, outside of Pittsurgh not far from Amish Country He was taught everything he does is a sin, that nothing was the Lord's work but the Devil, and yet the only way to be saved was doing the Lord's work.

His father the pastor, was abusive. Unfraid to teach by the rod. His mother preferred locking young Royalafonte in the closet for days.

Growing up in a paranoid almost cult like home. The only way for him to take his frustration out and be mildly rewarded but not being beat with a belt was physical labor, turning him into a stout and capable man.

It was when he was 17 that a Kindred broke into his home, seeing his abuse at the hand of the father. The Kindred drained both his parents. The Kindred then offered him the Embrace, seeing him as strong survivor. Royalafonte promptly took a field Sickle he had been meaning to sharpen and beheaded the beast, knowing he had finally found a way to do God's work. Killing such a devilish creature had to be God's work. It killed his righteous Father and Mother after all.

## The Hunt

Royalafonte is well known in Pittsburgh among the Kindred. He works alone paranoid of the Second Inquisition's connection to the Government. He keeps meticulous notes on every trace of a Kindred he can find. Heinously devout he showed at least one or two Kindred the face of true faith.

Many Vampires have tried to kill him, but he typically known when they're coming. The new threat of Thin Bloods though has made him even more paranoid than in any previous decade of him prying his craft.

Roswell Miller Jr.

Traitors are more dangerous than enemies.-Velupillai Prabhakaran

## Life

Like his father, Roswell Miller Sr., Roswell Jr.'s life was focused on his eventually Embrace. He was born when his father was older and truly right before his father's Sent to Carnegie Mellon to be educated no one would have called him a particularly astute student, often partying what little bit he spent around Kine. He was handed over to Thomas Castanova to be mentored in Kindred Society, seeing very little of his father.

## Embrace

Roswell Miller was Embraced in the mid 19th Century. Rumor according to second sources is he was terrified of the ordeal, eventually forcing his Sire and father Roswell Sr. to become enraged. Roswell was truly embraced by the beast of his father. They said it was particularly cruel to watch.

## Unlife

Even in Unlife his father was paid little attention to his son. Roswell was mostly pushed to the back still being tutored by Thomas.

 The only notable thing beyond being named Seneshal that succeeded his embrace was his eventual turncoat moment in which he along with other Ventrue turn on his father, cutting off his hands and handing him and downtown over to the Anarchs during the revolt. None can remember Roswell leaving the U.S. Steel Building during the revolt, only seeing him at the handover. He didn't even attend the death of Roswell Sr. at Rankin.

He now resides and leads the Venture from Mount Washington having vacated the Downtown haven that was the throne of the Princedom.

It is obvious he is resented among those that quite hold to the Camerilla among his own kind and others, while also being despised by the Anarchs for waiting to turn over his own father until threatened himself with the final death. He essentially lives at the behest of the Baron for his betrayal of the old Prince.
Fellow

*I can never go to a clairvoyant. I'd be too afraid of what they might tap into.-Shayne Ward*

## Life

Fellow lived an absolutely ordinary life. He grew up in a working class family in Punxatawney. The only unique that can be said about him is he had an obsession with the towns names sake Punxatawney Phil. He dreamed of growing up to be person who took care of Punxatawney. Even attempting his best to do well in school so he could study biology. He was never studious enough though, and grew in to a bit of a pot smoker during his time at Pittsburgh University. He never did complete his diploma before dropping dropping and working for animal control for the city.

## Embrace

Fellow was embraced by the Gibbons brothers, drinking vitae from both. They had ambushed him during the 2016 Clown Panic, both dressed as clowns. He had been walking across Blooming field bridge, which was oddly lacking trafficked for the night, when one of them appeared behind him chasing him. The other Brother appeared on the other side of the Bridge and chased him back. That night Fellow learned the worst part about the Bloomingfield bBidge is there is no water to jump in underneath it. He eventually huddled in on himself crying as they laughed. The next thing he knew he woke up in his apartment hanging from a rope on the ceiling, and a passed out body. He ripped into to feed as the beast unleashed. Written on the body was the address to the Bloomfield Tavern.

## Unlife

Fellow was taught by the brothers all the basic as well as they could teach, although he rejected some of their more cruel aspects, all the while being frightened by his own sires as once could imagine after such an embrace.

He turned out to have gift in being a seer, in foretelling the future.At night he can be found in the Basement of the Broomfield Tavern, often screaming and trying to kill the visions of the future, because he lived in all times, the future, the past and the present.
Eugene Phillips

"*While there is a lower class, I am in it, while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." - Eugene Debbs*

## Life

Eugene Phillips was Born in the mid 1890's, the son of a traveling I.W.W. organizer, he was a Brujah from birth. Even when he was little he knew he fully believed in standing up against corporations, and "wage slavery". As a young man in life he was already serving blows to the powerful of Pittsburgh,helping to lead the Great Steel Strike of 1919. He studied under Eugene Debs, his name sake and many other of the other early socialist and solidarity unionism leaders, although being a hardworking Steel Worker, working hard labor and being very physically capable. Between the two endeavors he had inadvertently become the ideal candidate for the Brujah.

## Embrace

Eugene was Embraced in 1920's War. His sire, was a Kindred by the name of Jose Valdez, a Unionist who would later on be stuck on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. It was an easy embrace, and one that was consensual as Jose promised it would give him the power to put those "Board room Bastards" back in their place. He targeted many of the Strike breakers that night that had long hounded his brothers in the Working class.

## Unlife

In unlife Eugene continue to find a home among the United Steel Workers in Pittsburgh, working there even under Prince Roswell. It was his workers who were organizing and helping strike back against some of the Shadow partners of Steel companies that laid the group for The Baron to come in and start his revolt. It was his group in the city Brujah who had been fighting longer with in the politics of the city. He was never seen as a hero, and especially not like the Baron despite laying the foundations for the Anarch Revolt long before it came.

He still had a lot of sway after revolt, but recently he has been pushed aside due to the positions the Baron has taken. He and several of the long time Brujah moved from the haven on the Northshore to Rankin where the steel mills are located these day, which is well on the outskirts of the city.

He also is highly resentful of the Toreador, who he sees as growing and displacing the Brujah with in the city, as the leading clan.
Clan Brujah

*"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."-Albert Camus*

## Clan Leadership

### Baron Icarus "Ike" Padavona

Baron of Pittburgh, Leader of Clan Brujah. An Anrch hero at one point in time although many see his grip on the Anarch community in the city slipping.

### Gowan "Tink" Abebe

The closest think this town has to a enforcer. Blood Bound to the Prince, and not to be trifled with. Operates several clubs that act as unofficial Elysia.

### Eugene Phillips

Number Two, Brujah in the land. Moved his haven out of the city after a disagreement with the Baron. Hold sway with most Brujah, who left to Rankin along with him, but not much power is given to him elsewhere aside from Good relations with the Gangrel these days.

## Clan Culture

The Brujah were the ones who led the revolt on the city, some from within the Camerilla and some who had followed the Baron from elsewhere. Although lately they've been torn on how their Baron is ruling the city, no Brujah is every happy with how they're governed for long.

This has lead to split with some Brujah staying with in the city and some following Eugene Phillips to the suburb of Rankin, where he control the local United Steel Workers.

They also tend to have run of the city due to their connection with the Baron, although much like their loyalty to him that too is being tested.

## Clan Relations

Clan Gangrel - Comrades till the end, and fuckin' ferocious fighters.

Clan Nosferatu - Back us up during the revolt, even if we didn't always see them.

Clan Malkavian - We mostly leave them to their ranting and they leave us to ours.

Clan Tremere - Technically still Camerilla, so not 100% on the level but useful at times.

Clan Ventrue - Bastards the lot of them, should have chased all of them straight to the Garou.

Clan Toreador - Getting to Cozy for people so connect to the Tradtions.

Caitiffs - Alright lot, some stood up for us the rest have been shit on by the Cam.

Thin Bloods - Didn't a damn thing during the revolt, and can cause real trouble. I say kicked em out of the city.

### Frenchie Smith

The Face of the Venture in the wider City. He owns the Lava Club in the Southside.

## Clan Culture

The Ventrue in Pittsbrugh are the proudest Clan however they are also the most fallen. Claiming the city as a Princedom, for almost 300 years they're now hardly at the table. Once filling their ranks with members of the ever prestigious Mellon, Miller, and Carnegie families among there ranks, with Roswell Miller Sr. the Kindred who in his unlife cultivated wealth of Carnegie and Mellon and so many other Kine to grow and thrive from his back room dealing and kept the families as ghouls and later on for growing their ranks to bring Pittsburgh to glory in the Steel Boom. He ruled as Prince for many years solidifying the Clan as necessary to Kindred of the area, until he was usurped during the revolt with Pittsburgh becoming the Barony it is now.

This particular group of Ventrue managed to survive the revolt and hold on to a little piece of Pittsburgh by switching sides right at the end of the Revolt, with thier now leader Roswell Miller Jr., cutting of the arms of his own father and sire and handing him and the Princedom over to the Anarchs . They resent just about everyone in the city, having only mildly decent relationships with the Tremere, and even that is strained.

## Clan Relationships

Clan Tremere - The Only Clan within the city that they consider 'worthy' of their time, typically meaning they're the only clan that will deal with the Ventrue these days.

Clan Toreador - They have a good understanding with the older members of the Clan Toreador as the Ventrue money often fund the places the older Toreador are attracted to like Heinz Hall and the Bendenum Center.

Clan Nosferatu - Traitors, and fiends, who made a bad deal selling their intelligence to the lowest, although if they learned their lesson then the Ventrue may have reason yet to meet with them.

Clan Brujah- Utterly despised by the Ventrue, who blame all Brujah for the loss of the City.

Clan Gangrel - Beast of war used against the Ventrue, little better than lap dogs.

Clan Malkavian - They may have a use, if so we haven't discovered it yet. At least they didn't help depose us.

Caitiffs- A few of the more interprising ones aren't so bad, although most are young whelps who are useless for anything

Thin Bloods - Pawns, nothing more

Felix Procter

*"Anyone who is popular is bound to be disliked" -Yogi Berra*

It was from here he ended up in Pittsburgh, just before the begining of the revolt. His suave persona instantly found him a position as a Harpy for the Prince and the local Executive of Vex Star Media, the toreador propaganda machine.

During the revolt Felix used his position at Vex Star, to try and slow down and effect the Anarch, causing panic about young men wondering the streets at night as dangerous and asking people to contact the police. Despite this he managed to find safety at the end of the revolt, although he has become somewhat of a social pariah, which to a toreador may mean death was a better option. He is no where near power, with the leader of the toreador being Gypsum  for some time, but even she got pushed aside by Jamie.
BY's

*“It takes many steppingstones, you know, for a man to rise. None can do it unaided” - Joe Bonanno*

## History of the BY's

Intially born in the 1960's and 70's in the Hill District out of the African American New Left Movement. The BY's named is rumored to a shortening of how the local say "Boy's" as in calling the boys or some say it came from the term Black Yinzers. Unfortunately a criminal element creeped into the organization, with many of the original founders leaving to find more prestigious organizations.Giving the name up to those who would tarnish it.

The BY'S are known for thier extensive drug rackets, being the largest drug pushers in the entirety of the City. Having a unique ability to sell them under the noses of the PBP.

## The BY's and the Kindred

It was through the Marked who had become adept at smuggling in illicit substance and individuals into the city that the "BY'S" and one of thier leaders at the time Lars Whitehall become aquainted with Kindred Society. After a drug trade between the two was raided, Mitch who was attending as well as some other Gangrel "solved" the issue.

The "BY'S" seeing the Kindred ability knew they could get an upper hand and take even more territory with their help. Many of the BY'S drink Vitae from Gangrel using the abilities it grants to mortals to make the job less dangerous, and give them a hand in scuffles.

Eventually at the bequest of Mitch, Lars intitiated a hit on some a particularly troublesome Cop, in return for being Embraced. Lars used his abilities to consalidate that leadership in himself, and is loyal to his Sire ever since.

They operate an almost open war upon the cops of the city, which some would see as normal for a violent street gang, but truly it is a proxy war for control of crime with in the city limits one between the Nosferatu C.M. Quinn and the Gangrel Mitch.

Chris Owens

**Chris Owens**, aka Odd Man, is a drug dealer who lives in New Haven, Connecticut. After delaying paying off his debt to Eitan Harel, Chris is intimidated by Alex Stern to pay the full 12 thousand by the next Friday. Chris is flabbergasted when the slight woman who confronts him briefly appears and sounds like his late friend Derrick, who was briefly inhabiting Alex as he is a Gray.

## Biography

While not much is known about Chris Owens's early life, at some point Chris involved himself in drug dealing and soon got an official record that was long and detailed.

Chris lived in a white duplex a couple doors down from the Taurus Cafe. Despite the trashy conditions of the neighborhood, Owens owned a new truck tricked out with a custom license plate that spelled ODMNOUT. Likewise, the inside of his apartment was nicely furnished with a halogen lamp, a leather couch, and a massive flat-screen TV.

### Hell Bent

Chris' business with Eitan was likely one of supplier and drug dealer, however, he had put off paying Eitan his owed money of 12 thousand dollars. Eitan sent Alex one Thursday in October to push Chris to get Eitan's money to him. That night, Chris let Alex into his home thinking she was Tom Brady due to Alex using the mirror compact. He was soon shocked to see that image replaced with Alex's true appearance and her announcement that he owed Eitan 12 grand by next Friday; Chris came at Alex but was pushed into his flat-screen TV. He weakly tried to say that he couldn't get the money—that his sister and her kid are having a hard time—but Alex, using the strength of the Gray, was unmoved.

The drug-dealer was then shocked to see his dead friend Derrick speaking to him through Alex, shakily stating that he attended Derrick's wake. Alex shoved the Gray out of her body and banished him quickly with death words. Chris was more than overwhelmed and as she was leaving Alex told him to just get the money and all of this chaos will go away.

## Appearance

Chris is tall, white, and heavily muscled.

## Storyline

Players will begin with a CGI scene of Colonel Nick Fury informing players of an on-going attack on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. As soon as the scene is over, players will find themselves on the Flight Deck of the Helicarrier. The team of Marvel super-heroes is made up of Captain America, Spider-Man, Thor, and Wolverine. This is a very good starting team, quite frankly. Since this part of the game is more of a tutorial, intended to get beginners up to speed of things, these characters will allow players to not only get the feel of these four specific characters, but also to get a feel for the different types of super-heroes available to you in the game (brawler, flyer, etc).
