The Chosen

We are touched by Darkness. We are tainted by blood. We are legion, and our will shall prevail.

The Pack

The Warrior (Elijah Peters): big, terse and menacing, Elijah is capable of thrashing just about anything that gets in his--or his pack's--way. Quite possibly the most straightforward of the pack, Elijah is exactly what he looks like: a fighter. And a damn good one.

The Illusion (Ian Syardis): Ravnos Antitribu and master deceiver, Ian has grown so good at twisting reality that he cannot even remember his own reality--and his own past.

The Prophet (Lila): every day is the first day of Lila's life. Though her physical form remains unchanged, she dies every night and reawakens every day with a new personality, a new mindset, a new life. Still, there is one thread of continuity in her life. Slowly but surely, Lila is writing a book. The chapters are out of order. The words make no sense. But when she has finished, it will be a prophecy of the end of everything, and that is something many people would pay their souls to see. Anguis, of course, is all too happy to act as the broker.

The Protégé (Dame Aliset/Simone St. Peter): Toreador Antitribu, better known as Dame Aliset--her passion is photography. Her drug is sensation. Her salvation? Damnation.

The Ghouls

The Stockbroker (Marie Fairborne): ghouled for her shrewd intelligence, her moralless business strategies, and most of all for her calculating ruthlessness, Marie is as much the mortal, female counterpart of Anguis as anyone could be. Many have speculated that if he should Embrace anyone at all, it would be her. Many, therefore, are grievously wrong...for it is precisely that which he values in her as a ghoul that he would fear in her as Kindred.

The Policeman (Detective Matthew Sloane): an honest, hardworking man, he is the diametric opposite of Anguis. He is also Anguis' finger on the police department's pulse, reporting every change that might affect the Cobra's operations to him. At heart, Sloane is torn between blood loyalty and human morality. Of course, the former will always win out in the end--and both he and his Domitor know it well.
