While
Kindred claim to rule the night without peer, only fools ignore the
mortals that surround them, and their endeavours to aid or subdue their
plans. Although physically fragile, mortals can possess cunning and
skill beyond that of any vampire. After all, even the elders were once
human.
Marcus Carradine -
Jacob Holloway's Ghoul - Alhambra President
Marcus is the true President of the Alhambra as far as the mortal world
is concerned. He inherited the position from the board of mortal Vice
Presidents, just as his predecessor had before his extreme age began
garnering suspicion. When the time comes for him to retire, he will be
weaned off the blood, Dominated into forgetting about the Kindred
world, and sent off to live out the rest of his days with a generous
pension.
Marcus is in charge of the day-to-day
affairs of the Alhambra's VIP sections, and is responsible for the
Communion. The Communion is the weekly distribution of Kindred blood to
the ghouls. Due to the sheer number of ghouls working in the Alhambra,
a weekly tithe of blood is taken from all residents, and distributed
randomly to the ghouls. This ensures they are well-fed and loyal,
without specific ghouls being bound to specific masters. The Prince and
Marcus are the only two who have access to which ghouls receive which
blood.
Being the Prince's personal ghoul,
Marcus receives his Communion directly.
Rick Thomson - Hasan
Al-Rashid's Ghoul - RCMP Detective Inspector
Rick is a cocky, sarcastic bastard with the fighting prowess to ensure
his mouth doesn't get him killed. That's exactly why Hasan loves him.
When they first met, Rick was a highly decorated veteran of the Great
War, injured in combat and condemned to a life of hospitalization.
Hasan gave him a second chance on life at the cost of his servitude.
Using the skills he gained in the war, he quickly became the local
RCMP's best sharpshooter. However,
after a few decades at the top of his game, Rick retired to avoid too
much suspicion regarding his agelessness.
Shortly thereafter, his 'son' joined the local RCMP
detachment and quickly rose through the ranks, both due to his previous
legacy and Hasan's close ties to key members of local government and
police. Rick now heads the Special Investigations Unit for the Greater
Verdant Falls Area, and has contacts and influence over several
important police officers. Whenever a crime scene
needs to be cleaned, or overlooked entirely, Rick has had some part to
play in it.
Dr. Valcius Corr - Mortal - Medical Researcher
Dr. Valcius
Corr is one of the few mortals alive that has intimate knowledge of the
Kindred and the Masquerade but plays no active part in either. Why he
has been allowed to live with this information is a mystery to all but
the highest echelon of the Camarilla, but the Prince himself has warned
the vampires of the city that he will be unable to protect them should
they seek to silence Dr. Corr for good.
Investigations have uncovered he has no ties to the
Arcanum, the Inquisition or Pentex - his ambitions are largely his own.
He operates and resides in Corr Laboratories, a pharmaceutical research
center on the edge of the Iron Graveyard, with a large, secret
department devoted to supernatural research.
His containment team has gained great notoriety
among the less lawful creatures of the night. Whenever a blood hunt is
called or a rampaging creature needs to be put down, Corr's men often
contain the transgressor before the Camarilla can track them down. His
experiments have gained equal notoriety; those that are the target of a
blood hunt would often rather face execution at the hands of the
Camarilla than the torture of Dr. Corr's experiments.
Mike Johnson - Pockets' Ghoul - Professional Bodyguard
Mike gained
many accolades during his UN peacekeeping in Kosovo, and afterward
joined the Canadian Military to serve in Afghanistan. After 6 years of
brutal warfare, he emerged a battle-hardened and merciless individual.
Unab le to adjust to life in a normal job, he found a warm welcome from
the private security firms, protecting very important (and very
targeted) persons.
It was through this work that he first met Jake and
Pockets. He came under the pretense of protecting a little-known
British aristocrat, but the Malkavian soon ghouled him into complete
obedience. Mike resigned from his job, and put his life savings into
the protection of the pair. However, like many ghouls, he is happy with
his lot in life, and would kill himself without hesitation to save his
mistress.
Given his extensive experience, he has become the de
facto leader in the current endeavours; a situation that would be
strange if Pockets didn't seem so happy about it.
Jim Gordon - Garou Kinfolk - Park Ranger
Jim is quite
popular among the annual vacationers at Blue Tree Provincial Park, but
he is most well-known for his work protecting the wildlife in the
conservation area to the north of the campsites. Jim is the official
parks liaison for the conservationists that reside on the edge of the
preservation zone, and he seems to take that duty more seriously than
his duties to the campers and cottagers in the sprawling woodland area.
He holds the second-highest national record for the number of poachers
he has personally caught within his jurisdiction.
Jim is also a well-respected public speaker and
humanitarian. He has raised funds to set up three soup kitchens and a
homeless shelter in Verdant Falls. Jim's wife and three children have a
modest home in the suburbs, but his family spends a large amount of
time in Blue Tree year-round.
