**Adelaide Ross**: Former Prince of the City, Malkavian. A beautiful blonde woman who appeared to be in her 20’s. Adelaide was a whimsical, giggly woman who adopted Miles as her childe for the entertainment value. She quickly became prince of the Camarilla after Button’s assassination and blood bonded her new childe to herself. While calculating and intelligent, Adelaide was prone to terrible moods and would often vent to Miles, erasing his memory of her breakdowns to manipulate his image of her. She was put into torpor by a group of Anarch assassins and finally killed by the childe she had so bewitched and abused.

**Churchill Jackson**: Former Sheriff of the City, Gangrel. The brooding sheriff was the only Gangrel in the Camarilla until Curtis came along. Churchill was an imposing figure who formally adopted Curtis as his childe, seeing him as a valuable asset. He took a militaristic approach to things and got along with Curtis until the latter joined the Anarchs.

**Bex**: A Venture enforcer and sometimes spy. Bex was elevated to be the Sheriff of Pittsburgh after Churchill Jackson was killed.

### Anarchs

**Cross**: soldier vampire with a massive cross tattooed on his face. good with tactics, not with subtlety.

**Kenya**: a Thin-blood with high moral standards and a deep interest in researching the urn.

**Circe**: A Malkavian who feeds on substance abusers. Circe was intensely interested in the occult and drawn to Alice and Buddy, who promised to teach her. She turned against the coterie after Lucius Mesmerized her to stop her from helping Buddy. After realizing she'd be Mesmerized, Circe took off with a Tremere book that Jen had been studying as part of her desire to learn blood sourcery and learn how to co-exist with humans. Jen and Lucius were able to track her down and retrieve the book, but Circe opted to stay with her new friends and not return to the Anarchs.

**Bob from Cleveland**: Bob is certified in Microsoft products, not very good with a gun. or tactics. or interpersonal relationships. It has been revealed that Bob joined the Camarilla after the disastrous battle at Pitt University. Bob claimed to be the new Prince of Pittsburgh at the beginning of the Reign in Blood arc, much to the consternation of the entire coterie.

**Thana**: Thana was a true believer of the Cainite religion and devout follower of Mary. After Mary’s disappearance, she spent her time searching for her spiritual leader. She has now become a devotee of Galconda.

## Other Supernaturals

**Casper**: An albino man experiencing homelessness and known to lurk in Schenley Park. Turned out to be a werewolf who tore off Miles Vanderbuck's arm and put him into torpor. Casper returned season 4, assisting the Drowned Dogs.

**The Gargoyle**: Previously a servant to Clan Tremere, the Gargoyle fought Mary to a standstill at the battle of Pitt University at the end of Season 2. Jen Brown, thinking the Gargoyle might be her lost friend Sabrina, attempted to communicate with it, but her attempts were thwarted by Bob from Cleveland and the Gargoyle put Jen in torpor. A year later, the Gargoyle was found alone in the Tremere's Economy Village haven. It has chosen to follow Jen Brown's commands and participated in the battle of Washington's Landing, helping to get Sabrina away from Miss Sonia's clutches.

**The Burnt Men**: A gang of deceased firemen who are easily manipulated by patriotism.

**The Children**: Three children of unknown origin came to fulfill a geas put upon them by Marius. They displayed several supernatural abilities such as tracking down Jen and Lucius and making themselves appear as human security. Once they fulfilled their exact task of delivering Curtis to Jen and Lucius, they left with their payment: a living human baby. They have been confirmed as fae creatures that feed on mental or psychic energy and can create extremely powerful illusions.

**Mages**: Mages are humans who have Awakened and can use magic. They make powerful allies and even worse enemies, able to bend reality to their will. There are several factions of Mages in the city and the coterie has most interacted with a coven called The Reclaimers.

**The Drowned Dogs**: A pack of werewolves who come to Pittsburgh to complete a ritual. They are extremely powerful and hard to hide from, even with Obfuscate. They seem to be unaware of the current political climate, falsely informed by Marius that he is the current prince, but made the effort to get permission to enter the city from the false prince.

## Touchstones

**Craig**: Curtis Kreiger's war buddy from Afghanistan. recovering addict. After getting his hands on some of Lucius' money, he fell off the wagon and was getting robbed by other addicts while he was unconcious in a drug-den. Curtis went full beast-man and tore the dealers apart, causing Craig to flee in fear when he woke up and saw the bloody scene. Curtis tried to convince Craig to go into rehab but Craig refused, no longer trusting his friend. It has been revealed that Craig joined the Philadelphia drug trade.

**Clara Ali**: Lucius’s teenage sister, vampire bait, and an excellent spy. Clara has accompanied her brother since he was turned and tends to be brash and overenthusiastic, often requiring the older Anarchs to hold her back from reckless action. She is Type O-Negative blood, the universal donor. Lucius began to train her to hunt vampires at the end of the Lockdown arc and she showed a supernatural prowess for fighting monsters. While originally her brother's enthusiastic supporter, her naivete regarding his dwindling humanity has faded as she sees how cruel and monstrous he can be. Clara has declared herself the protector of Pittsburgh's humans against the monsters that cause them suffering, including her brother.

**Dylan**: Jen Brown's touchstone, a former blood doll who was a captive of Buddy. Dylan is smart and willing to challenge the coterie when they act like monsters more than men.

**Sabrina**: Jen's touchstone and best friend, Jen brought Sabrina into the kindred world in a misguided attempt to help her only to ruin her life.

## Humans

### Ghouls

**TJ Coop**: A police detective and ghoul who worked closely with Churchill Jackson. Coop was feeding information to a group of police officers who called themselves, 'The Day Shift.' Day Shift fancied themselves vampire hunters and thought they were working for a good vampire who they codenamed, 'The Edward,' in reference to Edward Cullen in the Twilight novels by Stephanie Meyer. In reality, Coop was sending the cops to destroy vampires who were causing the Camarilla problems. Coop distrusted the Pittsburgh Coterie at first, thinking them unworthy of the Embrace he felt he deserved, but eventually he began working with Miles Vanderbuck and even feeding on his vitae from time to time. Coop died at the hands of Curtis Kreiger, killed by a shotgun blast to the head.

**Brad Lockwood AKA Friggin' Brad**: Curtis’s former drug dealer. Curtis ghouled him and used him to gain resources for his crusade against the Pittsburgh drug trade. While generally more useful than not, Brad became a liability when he became increasingly aggressive in his demands for more blood. Brad apparently wanted to become a vampire and pulled a gun on Curtis when he thought Curtis was going to turn a dying Craig. This last misstep earned him a death sentence and Curtis killed him for his insolence.

### Second Inquisition

**Sean Amos**: Tech support in the SI who uses his skills to find vampire activity. He was in brief communication with Sabrina during her pre-Camarilla blood addiction and then with Jen, who took over Sabrina's account. He has a notable tattoo of his internet moniker, "Father Forgive Me".

**Cece**: a back-alley nurse who helps undocumented immigrants and the occasional criminal with her husband Moe. Cece was introduced in episode 14 of Lockdown when she saved Craig’s life.
