As
the main hub of
transport for the eastern provinces, Verdant Falls is second
only to Montreal as the port of choice for most Kindred arriving from
the Old World. For this reason, it has always been an important city to
the Camarilla, and they have worked hard to retain dominance over it.
Jacob Holloway -
Ventrue - Camarilla Prince
Holloway
is the owner
and manager of the upscale Alhambra Hotel. Most of his business is
conducted through his ghouls, so it is very rare that a mortal not
under his complete control has an opportunity to set eyes upon him.
Holloway spent centuries of his unlife as an explorer, researcher and
globetrotter, aided by his close friend, Hasan Al-Rashid. The pair
settled in Verdant Falls a little over a century ago, and their
charisma quickly secured Holloway the position as Prince. Their
excellent management of the city, as well as their peerless strength,
have kept him in power despite several coup attempts.
Though Holloway disdains violence, his
skill with a
rapier is nothing short of remarkable. He is respected by the Camarilla
as a just and fair ruler, and feared by his enemies as an Elder of
immense power.
Msizi "Mik" Nkosi - Akunanse - Camarilla Sherriff
Msizi,
or Mik as he is known to those that cannot pronounce his name, first
met Hasan and Jacob during their adventuring days. While the pair was
still young, vast amounts of open space without shelter proved a
daunting hurdle to their expeditions. The Laibon of Africa proved
little help to the outsiders, and it was only when Msizi, an outsider
himself, found them that they learned to survive in that harsh land in
exchange for an equal measure of knowledge.
In the devastation
and racial persecution that followed the Second Boer War, survival
became difficult for Msizi. Jacob was in the midst of building an
empire in his new city, and so he was more than willing to return the
favour to his old friend. Despite his rank and title among the Kindred,
Msizi was very much an outsider, feared by many Kindred for his mastery
of the beast, and of course, his horriffic appearance. However, it was
these abilities that he uses to keep the Kindred of the city in line.
Msizi apparently had a haven in Victoria Park (and is rumoured to be
the reason it was constructed). However, he was most often found in the
Tremere Chantry, or in the woods beyond Taben's Ridge. For some reason,
the Garou never bothered him.
Msizi has been missing for nearly
a decade, and his whereabouts are unknown. The Prince refuses to
believe his friend is dead, and an occasion has not arisen that has required him to
declare a new Sherriff.
Jean Cormier -
Tremere Regent - Camarilla Primogen
Jean
is the eldest of his clan in Verdant Falls, and holds the rank of
Regent. His chantry operates within the affluent Rosewood district of
Verdant Falls. Though he is a notorious recluse, rarely deigning to
associate with the lesser clans, he can sometimes be seen in the
Alhambra’s VIP commons when he has business with the prince.
His Chantry houses a wealth of
knowledge, and the
Regent has taken the bizarre step of offering it freely to all the
Kindred of the city. However, the more secret knowledges of his clan
are kept under close guard, and outsiders seeking to learn such things
are met with swift and brutal punishment.
Any Kindred new to the city and curious
about their
nature would do well to visit the chantry. If that newcomer happens to
be a Tremere, the visit is mandatory.
Miss - Tremere -
Camarilla
Miss
is one of those few Kindred that have chosen to cut themselves off from
the mortal world entirely. She has no living identity, and has seen no
need to keep her mortal name. She is the directly below the Regent in both age and rank.
Like most child Kindred, people regard her with either pity or loathing. She uses both these to her advantage.
She is highly intelligent, calculating and ruthless.
Others may be unable to look past her childish appearance and
mannerisms, but it is a mistake many do not make twice.
Kieran O'Malley -
Tremere - Camarilla
Kieran was born and
raised in Riverhead, and came south to Verdant Falls to attend
University. His aptitude in science and his interest in the occult
caught the attention of the Tremere, and it was not long until he was
the newest member of their chantry. He is young and inexperienced, but
his charisma and community ties have quickly earned him distinction
among his peers.
Vincent Beltran -
Toreador - Camarilla Primogen
There
are many Toreador in the city, but Vincent carries the distinction of
being the oldest and the most influential. He is as skilled with
politics as he is with a brush, and it is little surprise that he
quickly rose to the rank of Primogen only a few months after his
arrival in the city.
Vincent is a powerful figure in the art
world, and
his name even carries weight in cities like New York and Paris. His
influence in the art world must eventually fade, however, as he is by
all accounts well into his nineties. As such, he rarely makes public
appearances and is already formulating a new identity for himself after
the death of his current persona.
His influence in Kindred circles is just
as
prevalent. Should the Prince ever step down or perish, his only
opposition for the title would be Regent Cormier.
Susan Baron -
Toreador - Camarilla
Susan
appeared on the art scene in 2005 as the hot young protegé
of
Vincent Beltran. In truth, she had been a little-known artist in life,
and has been perfecting her craft in unlife for over thirty years. She
recently crafted a new identity for herself, and is poised to inherit
Beltran's empire after his 'death.' It is assumed that eventually this
empire will change hands back into Vincent's hands once every mortal
who knows his face is dead and buried.
Susan has alread forged strong ties to
Verdant Falls
University, and pioneered a series of free, late-night art classes for
inner-city youth. It is there that she met her Childe, Jake Hewlett.
Philip Green -
Nosferatu - Camarilla Primogen
Nosferatu
are widely regarded as resourceful and secretive, and Philip is a prime
example. He rules the warrens below the Alhambra Hotel, and serves as
the eyes and ears of the Prince. There is little he and his brethren
cannot unearth if bid to do so, but what information they choose to
pass on and that which they choose to keep a secret is known only to
them. As leader of the warrens, all information is filtered through
Philip personally; he has been known to keep secrets even from some of
his clanmates.
Philip recently earned a great deal of
mistrust in
the recent scandal involving a British Malkavian. He openly defied an
order of a Blood Hunt, but due to his massive influence over the
Camarilla, he was not even reprimanded for what is considered a capital
offence.
Lloyd Douglas -
Nosferatu - Camarilla
If
you want to get something less-than-legal, and don't even want your
Kindred peers to know about it, you go see Lloyd. No questions asked,
payment up front. It just appears in your haven a couple nights later.
This unique position has made him privy to all the dirty little secrets
the Kindred of the city have, but you don't stay in that business very
long if you go blabbing, now do you?
That being said, Lloyd is usually given
a wide
berth. Nobody seems willing to cross him, lest their embarrassing
secrets should happen to make their way into the hands of their
scheming peers.
Brian McCullough -
Malkavian - DECEASED
Brian
had been ruled a risk to both the masquerade and to public safety in
Verdant Falls. As such, he was permanently confined to his room in
the Alhambra. He carried the rank of Primogen out of formality, as he
was the only Malkavian in Verdant Falls until the British Malkavian
arrived, and remained the eldest. The Camarilla tolerated his
continued existence due to his uncanny abilities to see things unseen,
and his almost prophetic descriptions of others.
However, he had incurable homicidal
tendencies, and had a great deal of trouble discerning reality from his
own madness. He was practically incapable of holding a normal
conversation. When he escaped from his confines during a power failure
at the Alhambra, he caused a severe amount of damage before he was
finally killed.
