Ian McIntosh

Ian McIntosh is a Player Character in KC By Night. He is charming, wealthy, and used to getting his way. Beneath the charming exterior however a predator lurks, willing to do what needs to be done to ensure that his will is enacted and Clan Ventrue's interests are upheld.

## Mortal Life

Ian McIntosh was born in Maryland into a working class family. Through his dedication and skill he made his way to Georgetown University in Washington, DC where he got his MBA. His mother died while he was in college.

After rising through the ranks of some local consulting firms, Ian made his way to Kansas City for an opportunity at The Wornall Group. There, he quickly became the firms youngest Junior Partner and helped propel the company's business to new heights. Specializing in corporate efficiency and layoffs, Ian was always on the lookout for ways to maximize profits and efficiencies.

Working together with Ian were Cody and Samara. Cody was another Junior Partner at the Wornall Group, and Samara was their shared executive assistant. The three of them formed a close-knit group, and Ian counted them as his truest friends.

## Embrace

Attending a pre-launch party in June of 2020 for a new upscale bar in town, The Mercury Room, Ian began talking with several individuals near the end of the night. The group consisted of Landon Belmont, Matthias Tylerson, and Breauna Cortez.

As the conversation went on, most of the bar's other patrons, including Cody, were sent out of the room, leaving Ian alone with, unbeknownst to him, a group of Ventrue Kindred. After some more conversation, Ian was embraced by Breauna Cortez without knowing what was going on.

Upon awaking in a dark room, Breauna Cortez arrived and tossed the unconscious body of the CEO of the Wornall Group in front of Ian. While he demanded answers, Breauna simply told him to feed on the unconscious man. Overcome by the Beast and his Hunger, Ian completely drained and killed the CEO then.

Following this, Breauna gave Ian some basic information before leaving him alone for a night to think through questions. The next night Breauna came back and answered all of Ian's questions. Over the next eight months Breauna would continue mentoring Ian in the ways of being a Kindred and a Ventrue.

## Coterie Life

After the emergency meeting in Elysium in February of 2021 where the Gangrel and Brujah of Kansas City left the Camarilla, Ian was introduced to the Coterie as their newest member. Joining the Coterie shortly after Kate's disappearance and Mila's introduction, Ian quickly began to feel out the social dynamics of the group and where everyone fit in. He hopes to make the most of his time with the Coterie and hopes that they help him accomplish his goals.

After the destruction of their previous Coterie House, Ian offered the use of his then-unfinished Bar.
