. CONTENDERS TO THE THRONE .
Beverly Barrington
Elder of House
Ventrue
In or out of the boardroom, she is the most ruthless and
cutthroat predator within Redwind’s borders. Many believe that she plots
nightly from her corporate headquarters to usurp the throne from Prince Vanteen.
Each night, her schemes inch forth towards her goal of complete dominance of
the city. The Prince knows of her ambitions, and there is a building tension
that fills the air of the city nightly, and the Kindred know that Redwind isn’t
big enough for both the “Baroness” Barrington and the Queen of Worms. Her staggering
influence over shipping, exports and imports makes her one of the wealthiest
Kindred or Kine in the city.
Zhaleed
Ancillae of House
Daeva
He is a legend among the crime-riddled urban warzone that
is the Eddenrow district of the city, where the enigmatic gang leader known
only as Zhaleed holds absolute control over the most brutal of the city’s
gangs, the Rusted Hook Boys. In life, he had a vision of uniting all the petty
gangs of Eddenrow into a fearsome army of street soldiers. His dream was cut
short after a random drive-by took his first life, but Zhaleed’s dream would
not die so easily, and he pried apart the jaws of death and continued his cause
with renewed fire and passion, quickly rising to become the most feared
criminal figure in the city. His Lieutenants are all Ghouls and serve him
beyond loyally, and the Daeva rules his Domain with a molten-iron fist.
Galgan, Arch-Lich
of Redwind
Elder of House
Nosferatu
The Megalomaniac Necromancer holds Domain over a
sprawling derelict train yard where he conducts his courts with ghost and
corpse. The shriveled up mummy of a monster holds vast supernatural power, but
lacks any modicum of social grace that might see him find a position among the
city’s royal Kindred. A petty and vengeful soul, Galgan’s black hearted
spitefulness makes him one of the least humane of Redwind’s eternals. Many
whisper about what sort of occult ritual and experimentation he is concocting
far from the eyes of the Kine.
. SERFS AND PAWNS .
Levi P. Wagner
Neonate of House
Gangrel
The roving drifter of Redwind makes his Haven in the
alleys and the slums of the city. He roams without a cent to his name or a
destination in mind, but his spirit and endless optimism never leave him. The
Kindred of Redwind view him as little more than an annoyance or pest, but he
knows every alleyway inside and out, and has a strange knack for getting himself
into trouble…
Dagny Castone
Neonate of House
Spectri
The young Shade knows no firewall that she cannot
penetrate or security system she cannot hack into. Her knowledge of modern
technology is unmatched in Redwind, which gives the paranoid young Spectri an
edge that those older than her might overlook. She is eternally mistrustful of
all people, but Elder Kindred most of all. Venturing beyond the safety of her
small apartment Haven only when it is absolutely necessary, Dagny’s greatest
fear is being manipulated in the great games of power that the ancients of the
city delight in. In her breathing days, she scoured the nascent internet for
knowledge and lore, delving into mysteries and conspiracies both Orwellian and
arcane. The ultimate conspiracy revealed itself to her when the beings of the
Abyss began to whisper sweetly into her ear.
Hollander
Ancillae of House
Gangrel
The Blood Mage Hollander claims that through his own
suffering and bloodletting flows the very fount of wisdom. His magic is savage
and bloody, but his words are hypnotic to those that might listen, and the
charismatic Gangrel has amassed a small Mortal cult dedicated to pushing the
physical limits of understanding through pain and hardship. Most recently, he
has claimed Regnancy over the Neonate known as Marjory, and his flock has grown
by one.
Marjory King
Thrall of House
Gangrel
New to the life of the Kindred, Marjory struggles nightly
with the ancient primal spirit nestled inside her. She has secured the wisdom
of Hollander, and is Thrall to the enigmatic Gangrel. Perhaps the youngest
Kindred in the city, she never strays far from the side of her Regnant.
Theodore “Toad” Roth
Neonate of House
Nosferatu
They call him the Toad, a bloated and foul smelling being
who holds a grim collection of Kindred relics and historical oddities. He owns
a small occult shop and is one of the three Blood Mages in the city. Rumors say
that in life, the Toad traveled the world as an archaeologist, unearthing
numerous ruins during his tenure among the Kine, but after ignoring the ancient
glyphs of warning etched on an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus, the worm found out
that some things are better left unearthed.
Simon Atwall
Neonate of House
Ventrue
The Houndmaster has always held lordship over beasts. His
ghouled Mastiffs are his prized guardians, and the young Ventrue fully embraces
his command over beasts. Falconry, horseback riding and dog breeding are his
truest loves, and his sprawling manner is perilously close to the Barrens of
the city, some say inviting disaster from the beings that steer clear of the
city proper…
Bianca Giovanni
Ancillae of House
Nosferatu
She hails from a debauched Italian merchant family who
traffic with the dead eagerly. Money, power and perversity are the hallmarks of
her twisted lineage, and rumor has it that the Giovanni bloodline itself has
been cursed by some unknowable force for the sins of the family. Bianca has
come to the states to settle in Redwind, bringing with her the Worm’s fabulous
wealth, as well as her skills in the arts of the dead.
Chado Chan
Neonate of House
Daeva
The base pleasures of the senses are the domain of the
degenerate Siren, and his seedy grip strangles the peep show booths and
pleasure parlors of Redwind. There is no perversity that the Daeva has not
indulged in, and he offers his slick wares to his clients eagerly. In life, his
passion was pushing the boundaries of pornographic film, so much so that he was
jailed for a particularly…exotic piece. While in prison, the pervert was slain
by a fellow inmate, but not even death could quench the Daeva’s desires. He
currently owns Slick Spear Studios, where he continues making his specialized
films for only the most demanding clientele. His influences are vast in the
underground pornography circuit, and it takes a special kind of moral
flexibility to truly appreciate some of his finer works.
Black Anna
Neonate of House
Spectri
In life, she was a noted gossip and tabloid columnist, swimming
the shark infested waters of Hollywood and its celebrity elite. There was no
end to her hunger for the truth, and she went about her task with vigorous
obsession. Always eager to be the first with a piece of news or gossip, her
inquisitive nature soon got her into more trouble than she expected when she
discovered a celebrity icon was part of a strange occult society. She
relentlessly tracked the cult’s movements, being drawn into an increasingly
darker world far from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, and it wasn’t long
after that that the Darkness began to whisper sweetly into her ear. While most
Spectri seem dour and sullen by comparison, Anna lives unlife with a zeal that
would even make a Daeva take notice. Dark whispers carried her to Redwind, and
she is a fount of secrets and information for those willing to meet her price.
In fact, there are few things going on within the city’s borders that her inky
shades do not gleefully report to her.
