Well-Known Vampires in London
Augustus Fairhaven
Augustus has been a part of London since the early 19th century. Throughout
his unlife he has endeavoured to protect the artistic community, and has
killed several dozen vampires to prevent harm from coming to the artists
of London. This has led him to become a wanted man on several occasions throughou
history, and there remain records surrounding his warrants in the archives
in London to this date. His heavy french accent prevents him from hiding
his nation of origin; there have been several instances during his stay in
London where mercenaries have come looking for him, claiming that he is wanted
by the French parliment. The near constant attempts on his life have left
him edgy, and he has grown to despise those of French origin, suspecting
them of wanting him dead for their own gain.
Thomas Whitely
A recently created vampire, Thomas has yet to come to terms with his
condition. He has been found nearly burnt alive by several vampires, including
Critan, after trying to pass onto holy ground. He seeks to return to God's
graces, but has been unable to come near a man of faith to date, which
has begun to cause cracks in his sanity to appear. Several young alter boys
have recently been found dead, and it is widely suspected that Thomas has
something to do with these acts of violence.
Claire Davion
One of the most potent women in the city, Claire has resided in London
since the beginning of the 18th century. During her time in the city she
has been the mistress of the rich and powerful, which has included two
kings and many members of parliment. Currently, she is seen in Buckingham
nearly every night, attending court in the presence of the Queen and company.
Her influence is discretely felt by all vampires, from her attempts to
eliminate curfews, to providing benefits to owners who increase production
during the night. Those that have bothered here, however, like Critan, see
the full powers of her influence brought to bear against them. Critan is
an excellent example; there are currently several dozen members of the royal
guard that have been assigned to find and kill Critan on sight.
Critan
No one knows why Critan is in the city, nor how long he's been a vampire.
He has been a staunch ally of Thomas, and has aided him in seeking God.
Little is known of this African vampire, nor why he has left his native
lands to enter England, but he is a potent sorceror with access to his ancestors
spirits, even as many hundreds of miles from Africa as he is.
Adrianna Tollons
Created at the turn of the century, Adrianna lost her entire family at
the hands of a band of hunters mere hours after she was created. The only
survivor of the attack, this young creature turned to the streets to pay
for her life, and has been selling her body ever since. She has been searching
for her uncle, Lord Joseph Tollons, in the hopes that she can kill him,
returning her to God's graces.
Drucilla de Winter
A deadly serpent that was turned at the turn of the 18th century, Dru
is a potent member of the de Winter family. Over the course of her unlifespan
she has had more than three dozen lovers, all of whom have been important
members of Parliment. She has been trying to upseat Claire for the past
several years; apparently she was slighted several years ago in some minor
way and has been doing everything that she can to turn the monarchy into
even less than a figurehead; she wants them disbanded and tried for the
murder of thousands of English.
