NPCs

## Carthians

* **Felix Meier:** Mekhet. Carthian Information Broker. Charismatic and a fast talker, with contacts everywhere and information on everyone. Always seems to know more than he lets on.
* **Krauser**: Bismarck's Childer. Unlike most Gangrel, Krauser is not a fighter, but an up and coming politician, trying to achieve better treatment for Ghouls and the less privileged vampire Clans (Gangrel and Nosferatu). Bismarck disapproves of this, writing it off as unachievable dreams.

## Circle of the Crone

* **Elise**: Rowdy girl? Doesn't have a bio.
* **Lukas Klassen**: Fellow Childer of Torsten's sire. A gangrel who, unlike many of his clanmates, is not a fighter at all. Works as a software engineer from home and has a (human) wife and daughter, who don't know about his nightly life.
* **Pepper**: Shadow Creature that took Piper's arms, right eye, and voice, then took all of Kurt.
* **Vanessa Hildebrandt**: Circle of the Crone Coven Leader. As much at home in the clubs and bars of Berlin as she is in the Circle's rituals and cults. Very nonchalant, and sometimes a bit too nosy.
* **Lorena Fraticelli**: A shy botanist who constantly seems to follow Krauser around. While she's usually very quiet and reserved, she opens up when talking about Berlin's many parks and canals and knows a lot about them. Her family connections to the Invictus make her a useful pawn in the schemes of the Mother's Army (Circle of the Crone).

## Invictus

* **Johann**: (Real name: Harald Döhl). The Ventrue neonate Johann is a figure the Elector Council would dearly love to hear nothing more about. The Lords are falling into irrelevancy, into extinction, he claims, and the clan’s neonates will not accept that. Johann is a bright, shining star for the Young Lords — a charismatic and passionate firebrand who promises the world and more. He dresses flashily, often emulating counterculture trends, and uses wide, sweeping gestures when talking. Some, though, can see a nasty glint in his eyes, a sickly fire that promises more, different things to his followers.
	+ He is a Lancea mole, and also has 2 dots in the Carthians.
* **Bismarck**: Invictus Enforcer. Initially cold and standoffish, but keeps her friends close. Her loyalty to her employer is only trumped by her loyalty to the Invictus.

## Lancea

* **Juraj Kolak**: A strange Kindred with powers of fleshwarping. Although their appearance is off-putting, they seem to be genuinely concerned about the people they practice their "art" on, and try to keep their few friends close.

## Ordo

* **Count Arno von Vogelweid**: Ordo Dracul Scientist. Knows how to make an entrance (and also an exit). Enjoys talking about his research and is a good enough orator to actually make it interesting. Rather arrogant.
* **The Archivist**: The archivist of one of Berlin's Necropolises. Appears to be very protective of the archives. Although she's trying to cultivate an aura of mystery and secrets around herself, her facade quickly cracks as her thirst for new secrets takes over.

## Watchful Eyes

* **Herr Schmidt:** I have no idea who this is.

## Unaffiliated

* **Lady Nobody**: Mekhet.
* **Konrad Büchner**: The sire of Torsten Büchner and head of the Stadtwolfe tribe.
* **Kurt Kaiser**: Daeva. Thug in life, thug in death. Hates humans and fully embraces vampires as the superior species. Is dead/a shadow person, thanks (indirectly) to Gatlin. :(
* **Markus Spiegel**: Street level gangster. A pain in the ass to those more powerful than him and a bully for those weaker than him. Torpor-ed and stuffed into a dumpster by Torsten Büchner.
* **Yosi Brickner**: Gangrel that had sussy impostered themselves into Roxana in Kurt's safe house. Was given their ~Final Death~ by Roxana. Was filming a sort of torture snuff video in Kurt's sorta recording room. Used to play a role in some of Roxana's movies and other material as a side act that wasn't near as important. They disappeared at some point 2 years ago and, well, ended up there.
* **Isaaq El-Malik**: Krauser's closest friend, and one of the biggest reason they decided to go into politics. His unusual appearance makes interacting with humans borderline impossible, so he decided to double down on it and embrace the Night Life, fully leaning into his "demon" persona. His penchant for getting into places he shouldn't be in and unaffiliated status with any of the major covenants makes him a valuable asset for many of the information brokers of Berlin.

## The Union (Vampire Hunters)

* **Henrietta Schnabel**: Old lady who owns a flower shop.
* **Viktor Schnabel:** Henrietta's grandson (or was it son?)
* **Beyhan Adin**: A vampire protected by The Union. Was kidnapped in Session 16, then rescued in Session 17. She can make various talisman as well as weapons out of her blood, and can stay up all day, so long as she's working on something.

## Gatlin-Related

### Humans

* **Marius Asclepius**: Cocky defamation lawyer and fellow Italian who Gatlin idolizes. They act like gay lovers, despite having zero interest in each other.
* **Nina Kneller**: Second-best friend and a dealer at his casino. Sarcastic and sardonic tomboy. Super into the occult and questions all of his odd absences. Would like to force him into sunlight someday.
	+ **Absit Mann**: Doesn't know Gatlin personally, but he's Nina's occultist friend.

### Vampires

* **Elaine Blodstein**: Doctor and de facto leader of the group. A bit stern and cold, but protective of her 'family.'
	+ Mom.
* **Gunter**: Police officer and secondary leader. A bit softer than Elaine, but still pretty stern.
	+ Dad.
* **Kurt**: Blood Daddy. Asshole with both an ego and an inferiority complex. Gatlin hates him, but also loves him, because Vitae is a dangerous drug that really fucks you up.
	+ Unruly Teen.
* **Jan**: IT Guy. Timid clumsy screw up baby man, turned only a few days before Gatlin. Gatlin was Turned during his first 'live human' Feeding.
	+ Baby.
