Julian Wheeler

"*Jules? He's got a heart of gold and a head full of shit. Actually that's probably going too far, he definitely doesn't have a heart of gold.*"
―Alonso de Sousa[src]
**Julian "Jules" Wheeler** is a Gangrel neonate and supporting character in the Spectre chronicle.

## Appearance

Jules is a towering man, standing around 196 centimeters tall. While slightly muscular, he's better described as having a dad body. One of the most notable things about him is the characteristic horseshoe mustache that he sports. He often wears old and tattered button-up shirts with the sleeves rolled up, exposing his hairy forearms, along with old denim jeans. As he spends a good amount of his time in heavily forested areas, his clothes are often dirty and damaged.

## Trivia

* Jules is first mentioned in *The Sultan of Sleaze* by Gary Golden and he first appeared physically in *A Favor*.
* Jules likes being alone in nature and working with his hands. He dislikes waiting around and stuck up people.
* Jules was stabbed to death outside a bar before being found and embraced by his sire.
* He wasn't picky about food while he was alive, but Old Style Pilsner was his favourite beer.
* Despite living most of his adult life in Stockton, Jules was actually born in Saskatoon, Canada, and lived there until he was eleven years old.
* Jules tries his best to follow the teachings of Gangrel philosopher Orson Gunvald, but the company he keeps makes it difficult.
Jocelyn Eisner

**Jocelyn Eisner** is a Tremere neonate and the childer of S. Michael Drevin in the Spectre chronicle.

## Biography

### Season 1

Jocelyn was present at the Stage Door Repertory Theatre with Drevin and Elisa on October 30th. While Drevin was arguing with the coterie she mockingly chided him for upsetting more people by "being grumpy", though accidentally let slip the names "Mr. Strauss" and "Ms. Benowitz". Drevin immediately lashed out at Josie for saying more than she needed to, prompting a quick apology from her before she fell silent.

## Trivia

* She first appeared in *Pancho and Lefty*.
* She is particularly proficient in the Elemental Mastery path of thaumaturgy and uses it to speak with inanimate objects in the same manner one might speak with a small animal.
* She also has a habit of using Elemental Form when she is anxious to transform into an inanimate object, but the objects she panic-transforms into are often wildly inappropriate for her surroundings such as becoming a refrigerator in the middle of a park.
* Jocelyn is on the autism spectrum.

Jean-Baptiste Perreault

**Jean-Baptiste Perreault** was a participant in the Fifth Nonary Game.

## Appearance

Jean-Baptiste looks grumpy and indifferent, like he doesn’t care about what’s going on around him and like he doesn’t wanna be here. He’s got bags under his eyes, disheveled clothes he quickly put on after he found them somewhere on the floor of his dorm room, and long, messy blond hair tied in an equally messy ponytail. To put it simply, he looks like shit. Like he barely knows how to take care of himself anymore aside from washing himself and brushing his teeth. He’s 5’9 and on the skinnier side, and rather than just being pale in a white-American-who-doesn’t-go-outside-much way, he almost looks like a corpse. Even his eyes look dark and dead, the only things that seem to be alive are freckles that decorate his cheeks.

The type of clothes he wears look simple and not too fancy. They’re not the type of clothes that stand out or are worth describing. It’s just a moss green graphic shirt and a black jacket put together with a simple pair of jeans and combat boots, but for some reason he always carries around these expensive looking sunglasses that don’t fit him at all. Sometimes he wears a necklace with a cross too, although he’s not exactly the religious type.

Sneyser

## egg

The scintillating pool located on the Sneyser's hindquarters casts an enchanting glow on the walls of its crater, but it's best to appreciate this spectacle at a distance. One sneeze from a Sneyser with hay fever, and that serene puddle will burst into an explosive geyser!

## Description

Sneyser is a crocodile-like monster. It looks different from the Dawn of Fire game as an adult. It has an underbite, four tusks, and a large nose. It has ice tufts on the side of its face and has geysers that have expanded into a pool of warm water on top of its body. It has a tiny tail, and there is no lava leaking out of its nose.

## Song

Audio sample:

   It sounds more like a bass synth rather than a sub-bass synth. It also follows the same beat as the Mammott's singing like the Thumpies, but it also plays where the Tweedle and Glowl sing.

## Breeding

The **Sneyser** can be bred using monsters that combine to provide all the elements Air, Water, Cold and Fire without repeating any.

The following pairs of Double Element Monsters can be used to breed a Sneyser:

However, the combination of a 3-element with 1-element monster has a higher rate of success:

## likes

Every monster has different things that they like. For every unique object that they like that's placed near the monster, the monster's happiness will increase by 25%. Placing more than one of *the same liked item* near a monster will still only increase its happiness by 25%. If there's a Unity Tree on the island, items don't need to be near the monsters. Below are the things liked by Sneyser:

* Glowl (requires level 9)
* Fire Bush (level 5)
* Tub Fountain (level 26)
* Toob (level 10)

* Fire Bush

Spiros Georgiou

**Spiros Georgiou** is a Ventrue ancilla and the sire of Joseph Rose-Price in the Spectre chronicle.

## Trivia

* He was first mentioned in *Practice Ain't Perfect* and appeared in a hallucination in *Exit Stage Left*.
* Gary Golden claims that Spiros likely would have been made Baron of Hollywood if he was still around.
* Spiros likes laïkó music and flirting with people in front of their significant others. He dislikes lack of foresight and having to repeat himself.

Orson Gunvald

**Orson Gunvald** is a Gangrel elder and founder of the Gunvaldist school of thought among Gangrels in the Spectre chronicle.

## Trivia

* Orson occupies the tenth spot on the Free Baronies Red List. While his strength alone should secure him a higher position, his arbitrary stance on violence towards other kindred leaves him lower down the list.
	+ The Gunvaldist school of thought is a belief that the Gangrel are biologically and spiritually different than other kindred and should remove themselves from kindred society to live a self-sustaining and independent unlife. While he would never take any students as the mere concept of Gunvaldism promotes independence among Gangrel, he is still seen as a spiritual leader of the movement; hence the ideology being named after him.
Ian Dunsirn

**Ian Dunsirn** is a Dunsirn fledgling and the murderer of Vittoria Giovanni in the Spectre chronicle.

## Biography

### Season 1

As Joseph, Kamila, and Vittoria were walking back from the Babushka's convenience store on October 27th 2022, Ian saw the coterie passing by in the street and watched them as they went. Due to lingering entropic energies after her death, being so close to the person who killed her aggravated Vittoria's wounds to the point of excruciating pain, causing the group to notice Ian's presence. He slipped away into the crowd as his father confronted the group verbally.

## Trivia

* He first appeared in *Practice Ain't Perfect*.

## Biography

### Season 1

Clem, along with Marty Barosi, met the coterie outside one of the complexes that make up the Nosferatu warrens beneath Los Angeles.

After the meeting Clem lead the group to an exit from the warrens that would be closer to the Chinese Theatre than the one they came in from and traded numbers with Joseph along the way.

## Trivia

Iosephus Sacero

### Family

Sudrenna Graccus (adoptive father), Symmacho Trupo (adoptive brother), Tanio Esquitio (adoptive brother), Eras Inregilla (adoptive brother)

### Creator

Zana

**Iosephus Sacero** is a Human Monk and protagonist in Curse of the Crimson Throne.

## Appearance

Iosephus has long, dark hair. He has a darker complexion, with his facial features being on sharper side. His eyes are a light shade of blue.

Iosephus can usually be seen with a stylized white Changshan, with a gold sash around his waist. He wears white, baggy pants, along white wrappings around his lower legs, and black slippers. Alongside that, he wears a sleeveless blue jacket with gold trimming, and a fur lining around the collar and sleeves, alongside a sleeveless dark blue turtleneck shirt, a gold sash, and white pants. He also has dark blue cloth wrapped around his arms and lower legs.

## Personality

Iosephus is a very cheery, yet composed person. He's usually in a good mood, and can be called a ''glass half-full'' type of person in most scenarios. He tends to be rather playful and aloof, and doesn't consider the consequences of his actions. Iosephus believes in improving through struggle, and always takes the most difficult route to a goal since that's where one can be taught the most. His personal beliefs and decisions are tied heavily to his religious beliefs. This goes as far to the point where he'd always want to engage in a fair fight, even if his opponent is the worst person imaginable.

Iosephus is very friendly to pretty much everyone who warrants that sort of treatment. He has a tendency of considering strangers as friends after just one conversation. Overall he's generally very upbeat and kind to others, or at least he tries to be. He also tries to make everything into a competition or a game, since that makes everything a lot more fun to him. His tendency to become a little arrogant does show itself when he engages in competition, especially fights. At first glance, people would be inclined to believe that he is a distinguished and well-mannered man, but he can be very ''in your face'' and over-enthusiastic at times. Though, one could argue that his true personality really shines through during a fight, because it is during a fight where he feels like he can express himself with the upmost happiness and sense of self.

## Trivia

* Iosephus was created with Zana's previous character, Iyared in mind as a template.
* Iosephus, along with his brohers, are heavily based around the 'Four Symbols', with him being the Qinglong/Seiryu, otherwise known as the Azure Dragon of the East.
Woody Stockton

**Woodrow Stockton** is a Malkavian ancilla and sire of Aster Rhodes in the Spectre chronicle.

## Biography

Woody, along with Saffron Letellier and Salvador Garcia were the three leaders of the Second Anarch Revolt. Although when Jeremy MacNeil got involved and proposed the creation of the Free Baronies, Woody and Saffron both distanced themselves from the project as they believed that Barons would end up acting as surrogate Camarilla Princes. Despite backing away from the project, Woody recommended his childe Aster Rhodes for the position of Baron as he thought she could set a standard that other Barons should strive towards.
Benny Espinoza

"*Sure he's smart and yeah knows more about the city than most guys I've ever met, but sometimes that fucking guy just doesn't get that he's not the only person in the world with a brain.*"
―Julian Wheeler[src]
**Benjamin "Benny" Espinoza** is a Nosferatu ancilla and supporting character in the Spectre chronicle.

## Biography

### Season 1

On October 27th 2022, Benny called Joseph to let him know that another diablerie had happened. The next day Benny interrupted the coterie as Meera Vidyarthi was secretly showing Vittoria a Vicissitude trick in the middle of Elysium, asking them to not break the Masquerade quite so lightly even though he's not going to get them in trouble for it. He told them that Rodriguez was ready to meet with them and was then present in the meeting between them, albeit staying quiet the whole time. Benny also contacted Gary Golden on behalf of Joseph to enquire as to how costly some false medical records would be. When the coterie go to pay Gary for the work he did on Joseph's medical record Benny is rather sheepishly sitting at the table, forced to subserviently count the money while Gary chats with the three of them.

## Trivia

* He first appeared in *Practice Ain't Perfect* as a voice over the phone to Joseph.
	+ His first physical appearance was in *Theatre of Blood*.
* Benny likes cheesy action movies and soul music, and dislikes impatient people and the creation of unnecessary work.
* Benny was stalked and embraced against his will by his sire.
* His favourite food when he was alive was carnitas tacos from Carnitas El Momo in East Los Angeles.

Jamie Thi

**Jamie Thi** was a participant in the Fifth Nonary Game.

## Appearance

Jamie has short, black hair that goes just slightly past his neck. It is curly and has a tendency to stick and flip up, despite his best efforts to tame it. During his athletic season, he typically will cut it shorter, but currently, it’s grown out quite a bit. In fact, his bangs have gotten so long that he often finds himself having to push them around. His eyes are a dark blue, and while they carry a kind expression, most often, they look drowsy due to the fact he spreads himself thin between his studies and extracurriculars. From running, his physique is lean, with his legs being particularly muscular. His skin is a bit tan, and gets tanner during the athletic season.

As far as clothes, Jamie wears a blue athletic jacket, a black shirt, a belt, and jeans. He wears a decent, but not flashy, pair of tennis shoes. He’s the type that tends not to wear sweatpants out or to class, unless something catastrophic happens beforehand. Truly, Jamie tries to look as put together and approachable as an overextended college student possibly can. He wears black magnetic earrings, as he’s still too afraid to have his ears pierced properly.

Ayane Yukimura

Ayane in 2019

**Ayane Yukimura** (雪村 彩音 *Yukimura Ayane*), also known as **Hanabi**, was one of the victims of the Satsujin Incident and a participant in Group A of the Second Nonary Game.

## Appearance

Ayane is a slim built girl who has short strawberry blonde hair with a small braid in one side. Her eyes are slightly larger than average and a yellowish brown colour. She has a nervous habit of biting her nails, so they can often be seen short and bitten down. Besides the school uniform, she has a simple good luck charm bracelet that her mother got her before she entered the school on her left wrist.

**(2021 APPEARANCE COMING SOON)**

## Personality

Ayane is a very timid girl and can sometimes trip over her words while talking but overall has a generally tired demeanor. She quickly perks up to near-hyperactive when she’s excited by something and will obsess over it until she falls asleep or her attention is directed elsewhere. Ayane can easily fall asleep if she’s forced to concentrate on one thing for a period of time like reading or if she was sitting down in a conversation listening to someone telling a story. She has a sleepy, airheaded demeanor that can lead others to thinking that she isn’t very focused or that she doesn’t care about her future. The truth is that she cares immensely, but if she spent all her time thinking about her future she’d be a nervous wreck so when she isn’t trying her hardest (and failing) to study in the library, she has a very ditzy outward appearance. She can also be very forgetful.

Ayane’s main belief is that she’s a burden on people. She believes this because of the combination of growing up in a household with little income along with her clumsy, airheaded nature. Her parents regularly had to spend money cleaning up after her or on trips to the hospital for minor injuries. She often cried as a child when she hurt herself or broke something, not because she was in pain or afraid of punishment, but because she knew from the overheard hushed conversations that money was tight and her parents would have to spend more money on something she believes is all her fault. Because she never expressed these doubts and insecurities to her parents out of not wanting to burden them further, they were never able to tell her that of course they love her and they’d never change her clumsiness and that none of this is her fault. This only allowed the thoughts to grow inside her to the point of nearly consuming her, this is what drove her to want to be better for her family, studying as often as she can in the library after school and at any opportunity she could get (although unfortunately her frequent overworking and tired nature led her to fall asleep quite often). These insecurities were only worsened by the events of the Satsujin Incident.

## Trivia

* Ayane is allergic to nuts and hates eating mushrooms and green beans.
* Ayane is left-handed.
* Ayane's codename in the Second Nonary Game, "Hanabi", comes from the Japanese word for fireworks as one of her favorite things is watching fireworks.

Jūzō Ōkawa

"*I joked, as a kid, that mahjong was the only useful thing Dad ever taught me. It's funny how things like that change. I wish I understood more the things I learned from my father while he was still alive. I wish I could've thanked him. I thought him weak, though he was strong in ways I didn't even realise. Perhaps he was even stronger than me. He had the strength to keep moving forward when all I did was get angry and frustrated and lash out at the world. 'Better to walk than curse the road', right? I wish I understood that then. Things might've been different.*"
―Thoughts of Jūzō Ōkawa
**Jūzō Ōkawa** (大川 十三 *Ōkawa Jūzō*) was a participant in the Fifth Nonary Game.

## Appearance

Jūzō stands at 5 feet and 10 inches tall with gentle eyes that are a deep shade of brown, though they are often hidden behind ovular sunglasses -- with black lenses and a gold rim -- even indoors. He’s happy to still have his hair at sixty-one years old, streaks of the black greying as they may be. He slicks it back at the start of the day, regularly adjusting it every so often, but by the end of the day it can end up with a few strands out of place. Jūzō’s face has aged fairly well but has not escaped the passage of time unscathed. Although not to the extent you might expect of someone his age, his face is weathered with wrinkles and rough-textured. He has a scar across his right cheek that angles diagonally up towards the corner of his eye and nose. Jūzō wears a button-up Hysteric Glamour shirt with the top two buttons undone underneath a pinstripe navy blue suit jacket with matching pants and dress shoes. As he got older Jūzō became slightly overweight, though he contests that he’s still in the apex of his physical condition and that he could knock someone flat if he needed to.

Much of his upper body is tattooed in the traditional Japanese irezumi style. He has twin shichibu (seven tenths arm sleeves) that extend onto his back and chest panel (hikae), leaving some clean space in the middle. His shichibu depict koi fish swimming in flowers (lotuses and cherry blossoms) which gradually meet as the hikae on either side show Amaterasu (the goddess of the sun) on his right side and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (the god of the moon) on the left -- surrounded with the flowers. The large piece on his back is of the Buddhist deity Guanyin (known as Kannon in Japanese). Because he wears his shirt partially unbuttoned, his hikae irezumi (chest panel tattoos) can occasionally be seen from an angle. Jūzō is also missing the first joint from his left pinky finger.
Arlo Deshayes

**Arlo Deshayes** is a Toreador ancilla and infamous serial killer in the Spectre chronicle.

## Trivia

* Known as the 'Exhibition Killer', Arlo imbues the gory sculptures he makes out of deceased kindred with the slightest amount of Obfuscate so as to make them unnoticable by humans but blatant to other cainites.
	+ Arlo derives a thrill in creating a repulsive and gruesome scene in public that humans are unable to witness. He also enjoys the fact that kindred are the only ones able to see what he's done, and has on more than one occasion waited nearby to watch people walk by his masterpiece unaware only to notice one onlooker's face fill with shock and disgust and to know that they must be a kindred able to see his work of art.
	+ His proficient use of the Obfuscate discipline is likely what has enabled him to evade capture for so long.
* Arlo occupies the eighth spot on the Free Baronies Red List. His serial killings of other kindred and tenacity at resisting capture earn him this position.
Maria Yegorova

**Maria Yegorova** is a Lasombra ancilla and Sabbat Ductus in the Spectre chronicle.

## Trivia

* Maria likes sensory deprivation and well-tailored clothes. She dislikes young vampires who are ignorant of kindred history.
* Maria was shot and killed by counter-revolutionary cossacks defending Tsarskoye Selo from the forces of Alexander Kerensky, and embraced shortly thereafter by her sire who was watching the affair using the obfuscate discipline.
* Her favourite food while alive was a cold bowl of borscht.
* Maria occupies the second spot on the Free Baronies Red List. This is due to her position as Ductus of a significant Sabbat pack in Los Angeles.

―Edvin Leroung
**Edvin Leroung** is a Human Bloatmage and minor character in Curse of the Crimson Throne.

## Appearance

While an attractive man in his youth, the practice of hemotheurgy has ravaged Edvin’s once good looks. Very visibly overweight, his body is not actually fatty but rather swelled up with excess blood, only giving the appearance of obesity (though some would say appearance is what counts in such a matter). His natural black hair is thin and swept to one side, sometimes sticking to his forehead though he takes care of his appearance as best he can. Edvin wears a large red and black overcoat with a sizable collar, the pockets of which house his spellbook and several potions in sturdy flasks. A black doublet is worn underneath the overcoat, and a belt with many pouches for spell components holds up his dark pants.

## Trivia

* Despite knowing many languages including Infernal, Abyssal and Elven, Edvin is quite poor at effectively communicating in them as he only learned them to access rarer spellbooks and tomes.
George Underwood

## Family Information

## Powers and Weapons

George is good with plants and animals, like his father, and has a set of magical reed pipes (which he's terrible at using) gifted to him by his father. Usually, though, he uses a Celestial Bronze sword.

## Physical Appearance

George has messy, curly brown hair and green eyes. He is a satyr, so he has goat legs, though George dislikes being a satyr, so he wears jeans to hide them.

## Personality and Traits

George is a mischievous boy, always getting into trouble. He isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to school, which is difficult being friends with two geniuses. However, what he lacks in brains, he makes up for in heart and bravery.

## Biography

### Season 1

Miriam visited Vita Notturna in the early hours between October 28th and 29th, striking up a conversation with Vittoria Giovanni as she was mingling with the other customers. During the course of talking Miriam became suspicious of Vivi and, because she had seen the curious man in her TikToks, Joseph as well. She began to ask some leading questions in an attempt to affirm her suspicions and came away from the discussion still suspicious of Vittora and Joseph. Kamila, who entered the conversation towards the end however, managed to avoid ending up on her radar. While not certain of Vivi and Joseph being anything other than strange people, Miriam's suspicion has certainly been raised.

Antonio Giordano

**Antonio "Tony" Giordano** is a ghoul and bodyguard in the services of Joseph Rose-Price in the Spectre chronicle.

## Personality

Tony is quiet and stern, but has a fear of elevators stemming from his childhood. When he’s off the job he almost forces himself to be a more bright person around his daughter, even if his heart isn’t there he tries to do it to make her happy. He accepts when things have to happen and doesn’t try to change things beyond his control -- fatalist. He measures his own worth through how well he can provide for his daughter and thinks that her happiness is in line with his own. He doesn’t want to admit it to himself but Joseph is the most important person in his life, owing to the blood bond. He’d still like to believe that his daughter is more important but if it came down to it then he’d choose him over her.

He’s a shy person although when you look at him you wouldn’t assume that he’s the shy type. He has a rather intimidating aura and appearance and when he’s in action he sheds the anxieties that are normally present. But if you were to ask him to give a speech in front of a crowd he’d be almost unable to do so. When the attention is on him as an authority figure he can function well enough, but when the focus is on Tony as a person he clams up.

Tony definitely has mixed feelings about being a ghoul and was in denial for a brief while upon being initially turned. He doesn’t like the idea of being something different to people, especially his daughter, but on the other hand it’s the only thing that ties him into this other world where Joseph exists. The blood bond has complicated a lot of Tony’s once simple life.

## Biography

### Season 1

Tony was present in Joseph's office during much of Karl Ziegler's job interview, leaving only when Joseph's beast briefly took over and he needed to drink from Tony to calm down. While Joseph and the others left to question Sasha, Tony stayed behind to show Karl around Vita Notturna. He was also present during the confrontation with Melvin Practess, and went to go find Karl during the discussion. The next night, he was seen throwing Mike Penis out of Vita Notturna before giving the coterie a ride down to Penumbra.

## Trivia

* He first appeared in *Practice Ain't Perfect*.
* Tony knows a guy at The LA Times whom he has done business with in the past and maintains a transactional relationship with.

Luca Castagnoli

**Luca Castagnoli**, sometimes known as **Nara**, was a participant in the First Nonary Game.

## Appearance

**"**Short in stature, average build, fair skin, bangs covering one eye. As Nara, his eyes have a lot more energy to them, and his hair is longer and flowing, and no has his bangs covering the other eye."

## Personality

Luca is very anti-social and introverted. He believes that life is about carving ones own path, no matter in what aspect. He is very self centered, and tends to not listen to, or outright ignore others around him. He's not fond of organized/neat places and prefers to have everything just lying around. He doesn't sleep all that much because he doesn't like missing out whatever could happen to him. Nara is very extroverted and somewhat arrogant. Although not rash or hyperactive, as one would expect from him, he's a lot more pro-active than his counterpart, just not in his overall views on life. Luca is very reactionary, as he doesn't have important goals or anything to strive towards. He floats around in life and doesn't have a commanding presence to him. Nara is somewhat the same in this aspect, although with a personality switch.
Antonisie Chiri

### Family

Teodora Chiri (mother), Somil Chiri (father), Lalai Chiri (sister), Majara Siliu (sister), Valerique Chiri (sister)

### Creator

Leo J

**Antonisie Chiri** is a Human Bard and protagonist in Curse of the Crimson Throne.

## Appearance

Antonisie’s features are almost all derived directly from either his mother or father, making it incredibly easy to tell him and his family apart from the crowd. Mixed Varisian and Vudrani, Antonisie’s tan skin mirrors both his mother and father. His father, a Vudrani, is reflected in both his hair (in color and texture) and the flattened bridge of his nose. Most notably, Antonisie has heterochromia (reflected from his Varisian mother), giving him both a blue (right) and hazel (left) eye. His right eyelid isn’t entirely paralyzed, but doesn’t open completely without force; instead, it rests about halfway down his eye. A small scar marks this area, making it even more prominent. He’s about 6’0 and not particularly muscular, but fit nonetheless.

## Personality

He’s a bit overly-judgemental, but he does his best to keep these sometimes rash opinions to himself when they’re unjustified (as, while he’s well aware that judging someone purely off of a single poor interaction is unfair, he also doesn’t care enough to put an end to that sort of behavior). In short, he loves attention and desires recognition. On the surface, he’s thought highly of people like Blackjack since he was a child and has carried this admiration to adulthood to the point of wanting to become a similar figure. On a deeper (and unexplored) level, he’s afraid of dying without a single person knowing his name or even liking him, and this fear drives most of his actions. Although his parents worship Abadar, Antonisie himself grew fond of Cayden Cailean as he got older and instead followed him. He’s pretty loose with his beliefs, but he has a feeling Cayden Cailean wouldn’t really care.
Malachi Ducharme

**Malachi Ducharme** is a Lasombra neonate and was one of the three protagonists of the Penumbra chronicle. He returns as a minor character in Spectre.

## Personality

Malachi talks a bit louder than he should because loud equals people listening to him and he thinks they'll be more likely to follow the lead if they can hear it real well. When it suits him he can be touchy-feely and isn't adverse to things like a hand on a shoulder to comfort them, and so forth. His gestures when he speaks and gets caught up in his own voice and words can be boisterous as well. When he's mad though, this friendly charade is more liable to crack. His body language can read as more aggressive because he has a hard time reeling in his feelings when he's angered. In a way he wears his heart on his sleeve despite acting like he doesn't, and it can be fairly obvious to anyone around him. If it's pointed out, though, it only serves to anger him more.

While he doesn't like to admit that to some degree being with the Sabbat shaped his opinions on humanity, it did. Being Kindred implies a certain amount of power and superiority that is hard for Malachi to shirk off, and the abilities that he has at his disposal lend him no favor in that regard. Humanity is weaker and easier to shape and manipulate once you get the hang of it, and while stubbornly human and moral at times that is something he finds little more than difficult to deal with. Until they become a thorn in his side with questioning, the needs that come with being mortal, and the like. It helps little that with an already inflated ego being Lasombra and learning of the strengths that come with Obtenebration were true signs of dominance and one of the few things he's grateful to the Sabbat for, if not the only one. While some of his prejudices have calmed down now that he's separate from them, his mind has yet to change further on the matter.
Acacia Lowell

**Acacia "Casey" Lowell** was a participant in Group C of the Second Nonary Game.

## Appearance

Casey has natural black hair that reaches a few inches short of her shoulders, often straightened and worn down, and her eyes are a deep brown. She's known to dress in a number of vibrant and eccentric styles, all of which she is able to pull off with little effort and comes across as always looking fairly casual and laid back.

## Personality

Despite being a student Casey spends very little time engaged in her studies (by choice). The average day for her is wandering around neighbourhoods in her area, interacting with people she meets and sharing her day with passersby. Casey has a bizarre fascination with the world and enjoys talking about topics such as death and the deterioration of human life in a decidedly flippant manner. At her heart, Casey is a good person though she may come off to many as confusing yet endearing -- she will converse with almost anyone willing to listen.
Scott Hewlett

**Scott Cezanne Hewlett** was a participant in the Third Nonary Game.

## Appearance

Average height, with a slim to built physique. He has long, wavy hair and a thick moustache and goatee. His light eyes are mostly hidden under his large hat, and he wears thick, baggy clothes and boots.

## Personality

Scott is a very open and comedic person. He likes to make people laugh and have a good time. Scott's can be a little too sarcastic at times, but it usually comes off in a more endearing way. Since he already feels like he's getting older, he just wants life to remain relaxing, especially since he was a busy man. He also wants to keep a cozy environment, and usually doesn't do things that one would associate with a famous actor. Scott speaks in a grizzled voice, and has a noticeable Canadian accent. Normally he speaks in an approachable and easy going manner, but he has a tendency to curse whenever something's bothering him. He also has a tendency to snicker about mundane/boring things.

## Trivia

* Scott didn’t really like to keep tabs with any of his famous friends, with the exception of the Limp Bizkit vocalist, Fred Durst. The two would stay in contact with each other regularly until the start of the Third Nonary Game.
Soyolmaa Enkh-Amgalan

**Soyolmaa Enkh-Amgalan** is a Ravnos ancilla and a Harpy from the South Bay barony in the Spectre chronicle. She is considered to be the leader of the group within the APC that believes diplomacy with the other Barons is the safest and easiest course of action.

## Trivia

* She first appeared in *Faith In Strangers*.
Atsuo Kimura

**Atsuo Kimura** (木村 篤男 *Kimura Atsuo*) was a participant in the Third Nonary Game.

## Appearance

Atsuo Kimura is a tall, attractive man in his early 30s, although thanks to his high maintenance job, some people might mistake him for a tad bit older. He has caramel brown hair and sharp, red eyes with noticeable wrinkles. His wardrobe mostly consists out of suits specifically tailored for him, and he wears a rolex, too. That aside, probably the most noticeable thing about him are his broad shoulders, indicating that despite looking like a pompous, rich CEO that sits on his ass in his office all day, he works out regularly.
臺南無糖飲料

**臺南無糖飲料**是一個臺灣著名地域迷因，涉及大眾對臺南飲食偏甜的刻板印象。

## 2019 年全糖迷因文

### 起源

2019 年 5 月 28 日，Facebook 上出現有關臺南招牌的相關討論，不少留言將其導向「臺南人吃糖」的迷因，其中一則留言本次風行文章的雛形，整篇文章如下：

專家表示在台南 連空氣都是甜的如果你在山上的天空看到一片白茫茫 那叫霧如果你在台中的天空看到一片白茫茫 那叫霾如果你在台南的天空看到一片白茫茫 那叫糖霜
如果你在台南喝牛肉湯一定要跟老闆說要無糖或是微糖否則你喝完湯之後會發現碗底還有大量未溶解之砂糖
強者我朋友曾經在台南做過一個實驗他拿著一根竹筷子坐在朋友的機車後座讓朋友載他繞一圈台南市才繞不到三十分鐘手中的竹筷子已經成為一支棉花糖
另外一位強者我朋友 - 橘子他曾經買了一盒白麻糬走到台南的海邊直接沾沙子吃「在台南海邊，沙子就是花生粉。」我到現在依然忘不了他當時咀嚼的表情那種甜蜜的幸福感洋溢在臉上表露無遺
所以當你哪天看到皮膚曬得黝黑的台南鄉親不要懷疑 其實他是在製作焦糖台南人利用自身汗水中的高糖份經過高溫日曬後於皮膚外層形成了一層焦糖用以製作布丁或其他甜點
下次記得如果去台南吃到食物都有甜甜的感覺不要再大驚小怪了記住專家說的
「在台南，連空氣都是甜的。」

2019 年 5 月 31 日，Instagram 上出現一篇誇張描述臺南飲食習慣的文章，6 月 1 日被轉載至 Dcard，結合同時出現的「臺南人之恥」迷因圖，在接下來的數月在社群媒體上被反覆複製、瘋傳。

一個夠格的台南人一定要有糖尿病。
沒錯，這就是我們的城市，甜蜜城市。從外縣市來的朋友總是問我：「飲料怎麼都沒有無糖？」聽到這種問題，我就會輕蔑的笑著說：
在台南，吃無糖的東西是犯法的。
看著他們震驚的表情，突然想到了我那個不愛吃糖的叔叔。依稀記得他被逐出家門的那一晚，一如往常的在夜深時從二樓佛堂偷溜進來，沒想到卻被起床吃糖果的祖母撞見，而手上那杯無糖飲料就算快速的藏到背後，也躲不過一個台南長者的嗅覺，祖母瞪大了雙眼，悲憤的吼道：
你這個家族之恥！給我滾出這個家！
吼聲結束之時她跌坐在了地上，兩行糖水也貼著雙頰流了下來，從那之後，再也沒有人看過叔叔出現在台南，也許離開這個連空氣都是甜的國度對他才是最好的選擇。
沒錯，在台南，連空氣都是甜的。
如果你在山上的天空看到一片白茫茫，那叫霧。
如果你在台中的天空看到一片白茫茫，那叫霾。
如果你在台南的天空看到一片白茫茫，那叫糖霜。
我曾經在台南做過一個實驗，拿著一根竹筷子，坐在朋友的機車後座，讓他載我繞一圈台南市。不出十分鐘，手中的竹筷子已經成為一支棉花糖。
還有一次帶著一位台北的朋友買安平有名的白麻糬，結帳以後他困惑的看著我問道：「怎麼沒有花生粉？」我一語不發的帶他來到旁邊的沙灘，他抬頭望去張大了嘴，不敢相信眼前的場景。地上的人群拿著麻糬沾了沙子就往嘴裡塞，這時我才向他解釋：
在台南海邊，沙子就是花生粉。 試看覓啊好食無。
我到現在依然忘不了他當時咀嚼的表情，那種甜蜜的幸福感洋溢在臉上表露無遺。所以當你哪天看到皮膚曬得黝黑的台南鄉親，不要懷疑，其實他是在製作焦糖。
台南人利用自身汗水中的高糖份，經過高溫日曬後於皮膚外層形成了一層焦糖，用以製作布丁或其他甜點。
這就是台南，一個大出巧克力尿出糖漿的夢幻城市，糖是這裡古老的居民留下來的智慧結晶。所以下次來到這裡，別忘了飲料要喝全糖。

When the coterie visited the Stage Door Repertory Theatre in Anaheim to investigate the serial diableries the theatre staff had mentioned that there was an "inspector" who was in tonight and who had been in a few times this week already.

After a little back and forth where the coterie pretended to be humans and Saoirse saw right through them, Vittoria asked if she would share what she knows about the diableries with them. Saoirse simply asked why should she and Vivi replied that she's just asking, to which Saoirse asked Vivi in turn to kill herself in front of her and that she was just asking. She decides that she doesn't feel like telling the coterie anything and leaves, but not before forcing them all to their knees with Dominate and telling them to be safe.
