When Prince Jacob Holloway and Hasan Al-Rashid first arrived in Verdant Falls, the nights were filled with swift bloody skirmishes between the Camarilla, Autarchs, Sabbat and even the Garou. The dedicated efforts of the pair to unite the Kindred (or at the very least prevent them from annihiliating one another) culminated in the signing of an agreement between themselves and the Garou. This pact is recognized and respected by all the powerful factions, and breaches of the accord are met with swift and brutal punishment.

    Cyrus Fuchs became enraptured with the Umbra from the first moment he was introduced to it. Working alongside his Garou lover, he was eventually able to devise a way for him to cross the Gauntlet by himself. This innovation will have far-reaching consequences, both for its inventor and his Garou lover. Wolves, after all, are territorial.
