12th generation Brujah

You were a moderately well known Marxist political science lecturer when you were Embraced by a similarly-minded Brujah. However, you rapidly became aware that the masses, far from being noble, are just masses. Or, to put it another way - food.

What's really needed is a firm hand in control - yours. Of course, getting there involves a lot of subtle political maneuvering. The Camarilla internal politics are nothing compared to a typical departmental budget meeting. As an added bonus, its a lot easier to get rid of a really persistent rival when you can arrange an "accident" for them.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to just use sheer weight of argument to win disagreements with other vampires - the others only seem to respect power. So power it is then.

No power, for it's own sake, of course - but you'd obviously do a much better job of ruling this city than the damn Ventrue. Still, got to bend and scrape and respect their wishes, at least for a while longer. You just wish you didn't have to also kowtow to those pathetic ghouls they send around as messengers. If only the other Brujah would help, you could easily take over.

People you know..

Nicholas

A socialist although a reclusive one. Convince him that your aims are the same, and he will probably support you strongly, until it is too late.

Gerald/Geralding

The Prince's voice here. The right word in the Prince's ear could be very useful... or very damaging. Perhaps staying on their good side would be sensible.

Lucas

You've sounded Lucas out about his feeling's towards the rest of the Ventrue, and you think that he could be amenable to a little power reshuffle.

Mallory

The disenfranchised are so easy to manipulate - a little kindness, a few vague promises, and they work for everything you want to accomplish.

• This power vacuum could be just the ticket - with most of the elders gone or in hiding, you can easily build a power base. Hell, if it keeps the elders away, maybe this is a good thing. Probably shouldn't say that to anyone though - gods only knows how many snoops they have.
