Members

Ductus

William Poole

• Clan: Malkavian antitribu
• Position: Ductus
• Faction: Loyalist (Revolutionary)
• Status: 2 (Positional), 5 (Reputational)
• Background: : To history the man called Bill the Butcher is long since dead, to the world of the Cainites of New York he is just returning. After being shot by one of Morrissey’s men, Bill was embraced into the ranks of the sword of caine. After learning the ropes from his sire and what New York was like at night, he quickly choose his own path, deciding to turn a large portion of his gang into Cainites. Thus making the Bowery Boys his own pack. William became the star of the early loyalist movement in the Sabbat, especially New York City. Many young neonates like himself flocked to his side. Just as he was rising in promise in the Sabbat of New York (even taking the 5 points for his territory), some rivalry of William’s embraced John Morrissey. Quickly the two renewed their feud, as if they had never stopped, and this time with the gifts of caine at their disposal. Packs all around the city sided with two to continue their war for dominance. The leadership of the city was about to be intervene between the two, but it all came to head during the New York City draft riots. The two rivals forces meet and clashed in the streets, using the riots as a cover. Indeed something had caused the whole city to erupt into chaos. Even those not involved in the fight between the two found themselves in the throws of near frenzy. As the smoke cleared many of the Sabbat of New York lay dead or in Torpor. William, however, had planned for this. Over the years William began to subtly impart his personality and indeed part of himself upon his children. Through the use of Dementation, William Poole would live on. Tonight the pack “The Butcher’s Boys” Trace their very roots to this act. Now with the blood of the Sabbat filling the streets of New York once more, William has awoken.

Pack Priest

Brandon Ross

• Clan: Ventrue antitribu
• Position: Pack Priest
• Faction: Loyalist (Radical)
• Status: 3 (Positional), 5 (Reputational)
• Background: Brandon Ross was a man of adventure in his mortal life; The kind of man who spent his vast inheritance on safaris in Africa and exploring the Amazon Rainforest. In his unlife, he spends his time in a slightly more narrowed, but no less adventurous manner. Charged with the responsibility of keeping his packmates’ beast at bay, especially while warring with the Dead Rabbits, is quite a chore, and Brandon finds his only solace in his unreserved knowledge that Bowery Boys must not rest until every last Dead Rabbit is dead for good.

Abbott

Mose the Fireboy

• Clan: Ventrue antitribu
• Position: Abbott
• Faction: Loyalist (Radical)
• Status: 3 (Positional), 5 (Reputational)
• Background: Some have confused Mose the Fireboy for a Malkavian. He certainly is fanatical enough, and his obsession with arson strikes most Cainites who meet him as something of an illness. Certainly, the Sabbat test themselves against their natural bane during fire dances, but Mose takes it to another level. Molotov cocktails, incendiary grenades, C-4, Mose dabbles in it all. While he serves as the Bowery Boys’ Abbott, he also plays the part of their unofficial clean-up crew. Adopting the motto of “no crime scene, no crime”, a rumor has even begun that Mose can start fires with nothing but his mind.

Other Members

Harry Collins

• Clan: Brujah antitribu
• Position: Brother
• Faction: Loyalist (Rebel)
• Status: 1 (Positional), 5 (Reputational)
• Background: Harry Collins was once a small-time politician, the type who is in and out of office before anyone can notice, and more importantly the type nobody remembers. The lack of impression he made on the public during his time is a source of constant frustration with Harry, and he is more than happy to be able to take out his anger on anything he can wrap his fingers around. When the Dead Rabbits came onto the Cainite scene, Harry devoted himself, body and soul, to the war against them. Of all the Bowery Boys, he is perhaps the most consumed with hatred for them, aside from William Poole himself.

Ethan Hughes

• Clan: Brujah antitribu
• Position: Brother
• Faction: Loyalist (Rebel)
• Status: 1 (Positional), 5 (Reputational)
• Background: Ethan Hughes is the most reserved of the Bowery Boys. Despite his Brujah heritage, he has always thought of himself as an entrepreneur, a politician, and a stand-up citizen. Everytime this self-image is broken, he flies off the handle and no one is safe from his frenzies. Quietly, Ethan despises his inability to control his anger. He sees it as the greatest impediment to his successful realization of his self-image, and it has cost him more than simply his reputation. Soon after his embrace, his supernaturally enhanced rage and an argument with his wife led to her death. He is dedicated to his pack, but secretly he would give anything to be able to reign in his emotional outbursts.
