Members

#### Brujah

* **(Brujah) Aake "Rockstar" Mäkinen**: Aake "Rockstar" Mäkinen is a formidable figure among the Brujah clan. With his imposing presence, long black hair, and a perpetual glower, he might come across as the stereotypical tough guy at first glance. However, beneath this rough exterior lies a fiercely loyal friend and a staunch supporter of the Camarilla's role in maintaining order within the vampire society. Aake is a true metal-head, with an unapologetic love for heavy music that resonates with the rebellious spirit of his clan. While his outlook on unlife may seem bleak, his unwavering dedication to the Camarilla's cause makes him an essential ally within the clan's ranks.
* **(Brujah) Primogen Ritter Albert von Welf**: Ritter Albert von Welf is a Brujah who defies the stereotypes associated with his clan. In a nod to the Brujah's warrior-poet tradition from the dark ages, Ritter von Welf upholds a unique blend of philosophy and martial prowess. His allegiance to the Camarilla stems not from loyalty to his clan's elders but from his unwavering commitment to honor as a knight. As the rare philosopher and scholar within the Brujah, he constantly seeks deeper meaning in the world through introspection and his martial skills. Ritter von Welf serves as his clan's Primogen, a position he maintains through ritual combat, and few challengers have been able to best him. He divides his nights between teaching historical European martial arts (HEMA) and periods of self-reflection, embodying the ideals of a modern-day warrior-poet.
* **(Brujah) Gwen "Luckies" Bashaw**: Gwen "Luckies" Bashaw is the embodiment of the gothic subculture within the Brujah clan. She exudes an attitude of nonchalance, caring little for the opinions of others, or even the Camarilla, for that matter. Gwen's adherence to the Camarilla's principles is less about loyalty and more about rejecting the alternative, which she views as barbaric. Her independent spirit and unwavering commitment to personal freedom earn her the respect of her clanmates. Unfortunately, her unapologetic and rebellious demeanor made her a target, and she met her end at the hands of Tiffany.
* **(Brujah) Jonathan Gamel**: Jonathan Gamel, also known as "Lil' Skrrrt," is the childer of Ritter von Welf, carrying on the legacy of the modern-day warrior-poet. In his mortal life, Skrrrt had a background as a semi-retired gang member and a budding rapper, which caught the attention of Ritter von Welf. His sire recognized the spark of the old Brujah in him and decided to guide him in the traditional ways of their clan. Under Ritter von Welf's mentorship, Skrrrt is on the path to becoming a Brujah who embodies the philosophy of both the ancient and modern worlds.
* **(Brujah) Lucian "Tinderbox" Spade**: Lucian "Tinderbox" Spade is a cunning and politically astute member of the Brujah clan. Behind his amiable façade and charming smile lies a devious force that revels in sowing discord and chaos within the vampire society. He thrives on instigating conflicts and disruptions but rarely engages in physical altercations himself. Instead, he manipulates others into believing that they are acting of their own volition, effectively causing turmoil without dirtying his own hands. While it may seem that Tinderbox's actions lack a clear purpose, he takes delight in watching the resulting drama and upheaval unfold, making him a master of chaos within the Camarilla's intricate political landscape.

#### Gangrel

* **(Gangrel) Harold Jorvic** - Harold Jorvic, one of the eldest among the Camarilla in the city, represents the Gangrel clan's distaste for political intrigue and a preference for simpler, more primal pleasures. He is a traditionalist at heart, cherishing the same simple pleasures that he enjoyed during his mortal life. These pleasures often include embracing his Gangrel nature, connecting with the wilderness, and reveling in the raw beauty of the night. While he holds a wealth of experience, he avoids the political machinations of the other clans, preferring to live a life of relative solitude. Harold is a sage figure within the clan, willing to offer advice when sought out, but he keeps his distance from courtly affairs, only engaging with the Marquis when specifically requested. His wisdom and calm demeanor serve as a grounding presence for his clan.
* **(Gangrel) Primogen Johnny "Cowboy" Dalhardt** - Johnny "Cowboy" Dalhardt finds himself in the role of Gangrel Primogen primarily because no one else within the clan was eager to take on the responsibilities of the position. This reluctance stems from the Gangrel's tendency to be fiercely independent and not heavily involved in political courtly matters. Johnny, however, rises to the occasion, representing the interests of the city's Gangrel at the Camarilla court. He's a multifaceted character, known not only for his political role but also for his identity as an acoustic country musician. This duality allows him to connect with other Kindred like Majumdar and Kenney, bridging the gap between the Gangrel and the more culturally-oriented clans. Despite his unconventional path, Johnny's warrior spirit and respect from figures like Ritter von Welf add to his unique stature, allowing him to converse about various matters with both outsiders and fellow Gangrel.
* **(Gangrel) Juliet Honu** - Juliet Honu has a unique story of her Embrace into the Gangrel clan. Raised in a family of traditional mechanics, Juliet learned the trade from her father and developed exceptional skills in fixing things. Her talents drew the attention of her sire, who needed her expertise to modify a vehicle suitable for nighttime travel and protection from the sun. Her resourcefulness and determination endeared her to the Gangrel, leading to her Embrace as a form of payment for her services. Juliet's journey represents the Gangrel's pragmatic approach to embracing individuals based on their abilities and what they bring to the clan. Her mechanical skills are a valuable addition to the Gangrel's toolkit, allowing them to navigate the modern world with an edge.
* **(Gangrel) Sven Aaker** - Sven Aaker is a Gangrel with an enthusiastic approach to expressing himself. He immerses himself in Viking culture, growing a long beard, braiding beads into it, and mastering skills like axe-throwing. This fervor for the old ways of the Vikings caught the attention of Harold, who offered him the Embrace, although Sven initially had little understanding of the profound transformation he was undertaking. Sven embodies the Gangrel's connection to primal and ancestral aspects of their vampiric nature. His dedication to Viking culture reflects the clan's ability to embrace the past while surviving in the modern world. Sven's distinctive path is a testament to the diversity within the Gangrel clan and their willingness to embrace those who channel their unique passions into a new existence.

#### Malkavian

* **(Malkavian) Alyssa Ortega** - Alyssa's life story is a tragic one, as she was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease early in her mortal life. After surviving heart surgery at a young age, she was destined to live her life with a weak heart. Her Embrace as a child vampire has frozen her at the age of seven. Her unique curse is her auditory hallucinations that speak prophecies to her. These mysterious voices offer her insights into the future, though they come with their own challenges. Alyssa's condition and her mysterious visions represent the Malkavian clan's affinity for madness and prophecy, making her a both tragic and enigmatic figure.
* **(Malkavian) Chris Perazzoli -** Chris Perazzoli's life took a downturn from being a rising star in a punk rock band to spiraling into addiction. After a severe fall while crowd-surfing left him with a broken leg, his music career unraveled, and he turned to drugs and other vices to cope. Ultimately, he was found near death from an overdose, and his sire Embraced him out of pity. Chris's curse involves experiencing sudden, drug-induced flashbacks, making him relive his past addictions. His struggle with these flashbacks represents the enduring consequences of his self-destructive lifestyle, reflecting the darker aspects of the Malkavian clan's insanity.
* **(Malkavian) Doctor Martin Dirk** - Before his Embrace in 1886, Doctor Martin Dirk was a prominent academic and researcher known for his extensive work in human anatomy. His fascination with anatomy continued into his unlife, where he dedicated himself to understanding the nature of vampirism. His unorthodox experiments and belief in a blood parasite reacting to ultraviolet radiation offer a unique perspective on the origins of vampirism. However, his methods are gruesome and have led to the disappearance of many caitiff and thin-bloods. Dr. Dirk represents the Malkavian's commitment to the pursuit of knowledge, even at the cost of others, and the clan's penchant for delving into the macabre.
* **(Malkavian) Rebecca Sitwell** - Rebecca Sitwell harbors a dark secret from her past, having murdered a classmate she was envious of during her university years. Her paranoia and guilt over her crime led her to be a prime candidate for her sire's Embrace. Her curse manifests as a heightened state of vigilance and preparation for any potential threat or disaster. Her obsessions with perfecting plans to counter perceived dangers demonstrate her unrelenting paranoia. Rebecca's paranoia and obsession symbolize the Malkavian clan's inclination toward madness and fixation on past actions.

His beguiling nature reflects the unpredictability and baffling behaviors often associated with Malkavians.
* **(Malkavian) Alexander Finch** - Alexander Finch was a vital figure in the Seattle Camarilla, serving as Steward for Molly Bargh, the Malkavian Primogen. His role involved managing clan affairs and acting as a diplomat for his clan.

His insight into the clan's intricate politics and his dedication to supporting Molly's vision have earned him respect among his fellow Malkavians.
* **(Malkavian) Molly Bargh** - Molly Bargh is a kind-hearted Malkavian with a keen sense of empathy. She is often found tending to others' emotional needs and providing care and support. Despite her gentle nature, she is known to be a voice of reason and compromise during turbulent times within the Camarilla. Her past is shrouded in mystery, but her persona as a caregiver and guide to others reflects her nurturing spirit, which she carries into her unlife as a Malkavian.
* **(Malkavian) Walter Lanatus** - Walter Lanatus is a Malkavian with a unique obsession for hidden meanings and symbols. His haven and body are covered in cryptic writings and designs that only he can interpret. He is often lost in thought, trying to make sense of the world around him. His role as an architect and his demeanor as a scientist demonstrate his insatiable desire to understand the underlying structure and meaning of everything he encounters. Like many Malkavians, little is known about his past or how he became a member of the clan.

#### Nosferatu

* **(Nosferatu) Florence Anders** - Florence Anders fulfills a unique role within the Nosferatu clan. She tends to the spawning pools that house the monstrous creations bred by the Nosferatu. Her life is deeply secluded within the bowels of the city, and she rarely interacts with members of other clans. Florence's connection to these grotesque creatures reflects the Nosferatu's affinity for the macabre and their ability to harness the unsettling aspects of their nature. Her existence is a testament to the Nosferatu's willingness to delve into the darkest and most grotesque aspects of unlife.
* **(Nosferatu) Primogen Yin** - Primogen Yin is a Nosferatu who takes a calculated and isolationist approach to his role. He prefers to keep Nosferatu matters confined to his clan, leaving the political schemes to the Toreador, Tremere, and Ventrue. Yin is known for his meticulous and patient nature, never rushing into decisions or actions. He is rarely seen at Elysium, choosing to have others come to him for business meetings at his automotive garage on the riverside. Yin's approach mirrors the Nosferatu's secretive tendencies, and his methodical demeanor serves as a counterpoint to the chaos of political intrigue.
* **(Nosferatu) Mark Caen** - Mark Caen's role within the Camarilla is subtle but powerful. He is a collector of stories and secrets, amassing a wealth of information. Mark operates with discretion, only revealing information when it can have a significant impact. His ability to control information and use it strategically highlights the Malkavian's penchant for madness and manipulation. Mark's role underscores the value of secrets in the Camarilla's intricate web of power.
* **(Nosferatu) Tiffany St. Claire** **-** Tiffany St. Claire's past is marked by her talent for mimicry, which she used for various deceptions, from forging signatures to impersonating others. Her sire Embraced her after a chance encounter, leaving her deformed. Now, with the power of Mask of a Thousand Faces, she can take on any appearance she desires. Tiffany embodies the Malkavian clan's ability to manipulate and deceive, using her mimicry skills to create chaos and drama in the Kindred society.
* **(Nosferatu) Willum "Blink" Higgins** - Blink is a Nosferatu who thrives on spreading information and rumors, often in exchange for favors from other Kindred. His willingness to share prudent information in exchange for friendship has garnered him numerous debts from the Kindred community. He operates from a cul-de-sac called The Line, where he offers various controversial services. Blink's role reflects the Nosferatu's dual nature, balancing their need for secrecy with their desire to exert influence and gain allies.
* **(Nosferatu) - Augustus** **Hahn** - Augustus Hahn is a Nosferatu who possesses an unparalleled ability to impersonate others. His mastery of changing his appearance, voice, and mannerisms makes him a valuable asset for infiltration and espionage. Augustus's role in the Camarilla allows him to gather critical intelligence and access restricted areas while remaining undetected. His expertise underscores the Nosferatu's skill in subterfuge and their ability to manipulate situations to their advantage.
* **(Nosferatu) - Beatrice Bennett** - Beatrice Bennett excels in urban exploration, navigating hidden passages, underground tunnels, and forgotten spaces within the city. Her knowledge provides alternate transportation and access points for the Nosferatu. Her skills offer invaluable insights into the city's layout and potential hiding spots, aligning with the Nosferatu's ability to uncover hidden truths in the urban landscape.

* **(Nosferatu) - Luca Donovan** - Luca Donovan is a master of surveillance within the Nosferatu clan. His extensive network of contacts in the mortal world and his uncanny ability to blend into the shadows make him a crucial asset for the Camarilla. His expertise in shadowing and electronic surveillance allows him to infiltrate secure systems and gather sensitive information, ensuring that the Camarilla maintains an advantage over its adversaries, particularly the Sabbat. Luca's role highlights the Nosferatu's mastery of information and covert operations.

#### Toreador

* **(Toreador) Anke Swain** - If asked to describe herself, Anke would say she is a hunter as much as any Gangrel, the only difference is in style. Anke is a seductress and enchanter, and she views every night out a hunt and every night club or bar her own killing field. As a mortal Anke had been a minor fashion model and as one of the Kindred she has weaponized her looks.
* **(Toreador) Annabelle Johannson** - Annebelle has had a tragic life, even among the Kindred. Orphaned at a young age, she was raised by her father’s close friend. When her surrogate father took on a sexual interest in her she fled into the night only to be found by a different sort of predator. Her sire chose her for her intense beauty and treated her as a princess in a gilded cage. At first she thought her sire had taken her away from a life of pain until she understood what she had lost. Before she was able to cope with her complex feelings her sire was slain in a Sabbat attack, growing in her a deep, if complex, hatred for the sect.
* **(Toreador) Javier Dye** - Javi had been a minor D list actor for a time. That Lifetime channel movie? Yeah he was the third male lead in that. Life as an actor was tough, what is a pretty face in a sea of pretty faces? Trying his best wasn't giving results so he tired to go a shadier route. Casting couches, gigolo work, whatever he had to do to get noticed. By the time he was embraced, Javi felt like a porcelain mask rather than an actual person. As an immortal Javi has found his passion again, working as an organizer for sect events and socializing for the first time in forever as an equal.
* **(Toreador) Primogen Yaslin Majumdar** - Yaslin was embraced by a former lover who desired to spend eternity together. It did not work out in the end, but Yaslin looked at the embrace as a gift to be celebrated. Yaslin has made his fortune financing numerous creative projects behind the scenes and even if he can no longer taste his dishes, he loves to cook for mortals who can appreciate true culinary mastery. Yaslin was democratically chosen to represent the Toreador among the Primogen council, a duty he takes seriously. He has done much to garner good will towards members of his clan.
* **(Toreador) Sarah Curtain -** Sarah *loves* people. Rather than get bogged down in overwhelming politics that she can never hope to have a real say in, she spends most of her time among the kine, partying, doing cam modelling for money, and socialising with the city's elite. She parties hard and fast, often switching cliques rapidly so as to keep on the right side of the masquerade.
* **(Toreador) Burgess Taylor** - Burgess Taylor is a seemingly meek man with a calculating and ambitious nature, who uses his high intellect to devise schemes and manipulate situations to his advantage. He is patient and can work with enemies, but will destroy them when the opportunity arises. Taylor is skilled at improvising and prefers manipulating situations over violence. He uses flattery and sarcasm when speaking, and has a softer side towards loved ones. Taylor's ruthlessness and ambition make him a force to be reckoned with.
* **(Toreador) Victoria Stone** - Victoria Stone is the Steward of Burgess Taylor, combining the roles of clan Whip and administrator of the Toreador Primogen's affairs. Victoria's charm, wit, and persuasive nature make her an excellent choice for this position. She arranges meetings with Toreador representatives and others, ensuring that Burgess's voice is heard and that his influence within the clan is solidified. Victoria acts as Burgess's eyes and ears, gathering valuable information and maintaining a network of contacts throughout the Toreador clan. Her loyalty and dedication to Burgess's ambitions cement her role as an indispensable companion to the cunning and ambitious Toreador Primogen.

#### Tremere

* **(Tremere) Ar-Rashid** - Ar-Rashid is a scholar even compared to his peers within clan Tremere. He has travelled far and wide in search of arcane lore and few among the American based Warlocks could claim a deeper understanding of theoretical thaumaturgy. Ar-Rashid has dedicated himself to the teaching of apprentices in recent years, using the experience to refine his own understanding of concepts. Considered to be a conservative voice among the Tremere, advocating a traditionalist style over the more aggressive modernisation preached by Regent Eskelsen.
* **(Tremere) Primogen Lily Eskelsen** - Lily is a force of nature within the city. She does not accept the traditional stereotypes associated with the Tremere or the backhanded, two-faced politicking of her fellow kindred. She does not request her place at the table, but takes it. It is widely known that she is the least favourite of the Prince on the council and that her opinion usually goes ignored, if not deliberately acted against. To make matters worse, her relationship with the Master of Elysium is poor due to their blood’s ancient issues.
* **(Tremere) Lori Ivey** - Ivey serves as the Chantry's archivist and chronicler, it is she that manages and maintains the library. Rarely does she get involved in sect politics and if she has any ambition she keeps it hidden deep inside, instead focusing her time into study and self-improvement. Lori also spends her time instructing potentials whenever one is selected. As clan librarian, Lori holds some degree of authority as she could in theroy bar another from accessing the chantry's collected lore.
* **(Tremere) Marilena Ibrahim** - Marilena is a recent addition to the chantry who came seeking instruction by Ar-Rashid. A minimal talent currently, however she has a growing understanding of the basics of thaumaturgy that will serve her well in the centuries ahead.
* **(Tremere) Savannah "Scarlet Wysp" Marburg** - Embraced in the early 2000’s Scarlet is an apprentice of the seventh circle, just about to partake in the trials necessary to become a magister. Scarlet emphasizes the early 2000’s edgy goth aesthetic: Evanescence, shiny black clothing, black on black. Her personality can be a bit grating and even those among her own clan get frustrated with how she keeps up with her melodrama. To some, such as Ar-Rashid she is an embarrassment to the clan, while to others such as Lily she is the future of the clan and only needs a guiding hand.

#### Ventrue

* **(Ventrue) Blaise Colburn** - Blaise became a potential embrace candidate when he was four years old. He was among a pool of over a hundred and tested over three decades until his sire decided that he was the one to continue his legacy. Blaise was a ghoul for the following ten years, learning the intricacies of the clan. Blaise is a polished gem of a Ventrue, well-educated, refined, trained for martial combat, and humble. Blaise lives to serve the Camarilla as a whole, regardless of which clan requests his help.
* **(Ventrue) Demetri Sokolov**- Demetri refers to himself as a security consultant, but if you were to say he was a mercenary you wouldn't be wrong. Demetri is a problem solver, he sees an issue and goes through the steps to correct them with a precision often overlooked by others.
* **(Ventrue) Elise Van Hoytt** - Unlike many of her peers among the Camarilla, Elise was *born* to be a member of the elite. Her parents wed due to their pedigree and paired to create a superior offspring. She trained in music, rhetoric, the arts, swordsmanship, equestrianism, finances, how to manage retainers and many more crucial skills. Her wealth transcends that of the others within the city to the point she is often invited into the courts of various Princes around the world. Her skill as a harpy can make or break someone’s reputation with a nod. She is everything that one can aspire to be.
* **(Ventrue) Regan Crane** - Despite the backroom whispers of her peers, Regan invested into the budding industry of Solar Energy, a fact she took some personal humour in. Tonight, Total Sun manufactures solar panels in the industrial district, shipping them world wide. Regan enjoys the irony of a Vampire profiting off of the sun.
* **(Ventrue) Prince René Levine** - Prince René Levine is a man of vision. When he came to the city it was full of turmoil, of clans squabbling over domains, infighting, and betrayal. The city was on the verge of being overrun by hordes of the Sabbat until he did what was necessary to restore order. Some might call him tyrannical, but he prefers to view himself as an idealist. While it is true that punishments are harsh for offenders, rewards are grand for those who do their duty. He is a man of his word and expects others to be honest in their dealings with him or risk coming to harm. He knows how to play the Primogen against each other to achieve the greater good for the sect as a whole.
* **(Ventrue) Primogen Ryan Kenney** - Ryan has never encountered a situation he couldn’t turn to his advantage. He has gone from a lowly fledgling to the second highest Ventrue in the city, only behind the Prince himself. His rise has left him with several jealous rivals that hope to see the smug Irishmen fall from grace, but he hasn’t gotten as far as he has without mastering the grand game.

#### Others

* **(Gargoyle) Seneschal** **Jean Dantès** - Jean is the concierge and Master of Elysium of the Marquis Hotel. Jean has no memory of his life before awakening in the Tremere chantry lab in Lyon, France. Life as a slave had him defending the chantry's interests and tending to the chantry itself. When the Gargoyles broke free of their captivity, he embraced his freedom by travelling abroad. While free he could not escape his desire to be of service. He found his calling assisting Prince Levine in the management and upkeep of the hotel. Jean chose his own name upon his freedom; Jean from Jean Valjean of *Les Misérables* and Dantès from Edmund Dantès of *Le Comte de Monte-Cristo*, two imprisoned men that are freed.
* **(Giovanni) Rafael Hidalgo** - Life on the run is not as romantic as films would have you think, Rafael learned this the hard way. Do you know what the Giovanni do to one that betrays the family? Either does Rafael but he sure as fuck is not eager to find out. What could he do though? The Sabbat? He had heard stories of what happened to members of the family in Sabbat territory. Alone? He had no way of surviving the journey through lupine lands. His only chance was to fall to his knees and suck whoever's dick he had to among the Ivory Tower to be protected.
* **(Ravnos) Sheriff Rani Bamm** - Rani knows the stereotypes of her clan, thieves, degenerates, conmen, and worse. Many hate the fact she has such a good relationship with the Prince. In what may have been Levine’s most controversial appointment to date, he made this nobody Ravnos guttersnipe the Sheriff of the city...and she has a talent for what she does. Who better to uncover what others don’t want seen than a thief? She has the ability to go unnoticed by others, blend into a crowd, and sense things that normal senses can’t or won’t pick up. She is the corrupt Kindred’s worst nightmare.
* **(Son of Discord) Zebb Lambert** - Zebb is a lounge lizard always looking for a good time. A jazz musician by trade, he was embraced due to the skill of his trumpeting. Zebb owns a ritzy jazz club called the Mint, popular among the city’s vampiric population. Zebb's hand was forced into joining the Camarilla after too many Sabbat incidents within his club.
