Members

Ductus

Janina Lanka

• Clan: Tzimisce
• Position: Ductus, Templar
• Faction: Moderates
• Status: 4 (Positional), 5 (Reputational)
• Background: As the centuries passed Janina rose to head a chantry among the Tremere Antitribu in New York City. A position she was placed in by the Tzimisce she choose to serve. They spoke vaguely of her duty there to keep an eye on something horrible from the forgotten history of the clan beneath New York City. Her prestige among the Tremere Antitribu even rose to such promise as to be noticed by Goratrix himself. Regardless, the notice of Goratrix created something of a rivalry between Janina and Jasmine the Black Spellbinder of Montreal. For years they would trade insults and accomplishments. In the end though, to Janina she appeared to have won.

When the Tremere Antitribu were all destroyed in 1999, Janina has been called back to the Carpathians on business. She learned the New York Chantry of the Tremere Antitribu fell and all that remained of the Tremere Antitribu. Janina returns to New York to rebuild her Chantry. Regardless Jania now returns home to an empty house once more to rebuild and watch over the charge of the horror that lays beneath the streets of New York City.

Pack Priest

Eddie the Cheater

• Clan: Ravnos antitribu
• Position: Pack Priest
• Faction: Loyalist (Rebel)
• Status: 2 (Positional), 5 (Reputational)
• Background: Descended from the line of Dracian, Eddie earned his moniker of ‘the Cheater’ well before his embrace. His pretty-boy face and shoulder-length dark red hair lent themselves well to socializing, and Eddie used that to his advantage to get close to marks and take them for everything they had. A card-shark in an era when those are fleetingly rare, his instincts for the hustle and the con have served him well, while his laziness and tendency to make trouble wherever he goes have not. As his pack’s Priest, his penchant for trouble draws more than the normal amount of attention down on his packmates, though they rarely notice amidst dealing with their rival pack Fuck You New York.

Abbott

Enki, the Lord of Skulls

• Clan: Harbinger of Skulls
• Position: Abbott
• Faction: Ecclesiastical (Daimones)
• Status: 2 (Positional), 5 (Reputational)
• Background: Enki is one of the few Harbingers of Skulls in New York City and arrived shortly after the bloodline joined the Sabbat in 1999. Very little is known of his past; though he is clearly an elder vampire. Enki has grown to be the necromatic expert of the city and seems to spend most his time navigating a means to strike at the Giovanni; while also respecting Cardinal Polonai's orders. So far his efforts have not been rebutted by the good Cardinal. Other Sabbat who interact with Enko find him cryptic and bizarre. He has some relationship with Vidod the master of the Shadowlands. This elusive Cainite hordes a wealth of knowledge and skills in the world of dead, and offers his service to any who are willing to pay his price.

Other Members

Michael

• Clan: Gargoyle Antitribu
• Position: None
• Faction: None
• Status: 2 (Positional), 0 (Reputational)
• Background: Michael was the first Gargoyle to be created by the Chantry of Five Boroughs when the Tremere arrived in the city decades ago, and he escaped when the city fell to the Sabbat. Though he possesses the ability to alter his appearance, he refuses to do so because he considers his visage to be angelic in nature. He is bald, with elven ears and slate gray skin. His bat-like wings strike terror into every mortal who sees him, and the tattoos extending from the top of his head down the right side of his torso seem to be tribal in nature. His only clothing is a loin cloth. Despite his hideous countenance, Michael is idealistic, tolerant, and gentle, except where Christianity is involved. He and his pack of Gargoyles defend the precepts of their religion and its followers fervently.

Father Bronch

• Clan: Tzimisce
• Position: None
• Faction: Ultra-Conservative (Lieutenant)
• Status: 2 (Positional), 5 (Reputational)
• Background: A graying old hillbilly in appearance, Father Bronch has existed in New York City, through its many forms, for over two centuries, and from the very night of his embrace his only concern was maintaining the safety and well being of his ‘family’. Of course, since his mortal wife and two daughters had died years before from tuberculosis, he had to find replacements. Over the decades, Father Bronch has grown his family into a cornerstone of New York’s Sabbat urban legends, appearing only rarely when their overgrown, little mansion in the Bronx is threatened, disturbed, or violated.

Mama Bronch

• Clan: Tzimisce
• Position: Pack Priest
• Faction: Ultra-Conservative (Sergeant)
• Status: 2 (Positional), 5 (Reputational)
• Background: Mama Bronch is the epitome of a young, southern wife stretched thin with the responsibilities inherent in raising a family of seven-and-growing. Her duties as a mother mirror her duties as the Bronchs’ pack priest, and she maintains their strict adherence to the Path of the Feral Heart. She prefers to dress in revealing sweatshirts and yoga pants, and more than one poor passerby has been lured off the sidewalk, onto the porch, and through the front door to meet an untimely end. Her relationship with Abby and Tracy is somewhat strained on account of the way she sometimes catches Father Bronch eyeing them.
