To
be independent is the business of a few only; it is the privilege of the
strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The
once-proud Gangrel clan of Baltimore has fallen to levels of near
non-existence. Several clan members have
courageously fallen in battle - Diana Gibbons, for instance, or Quentin
Mullough, and one has seemingly turned tell and run northeast to
Wilmington. This leaves only Lazarus to
represent the Outlanders.
Lazarus
The
only remaining Gangrel in Baltimore, Lazarus is in the unenviable position of
attempting to not only represent himself and further his own agenda, but
attempting to stand for his clan in Baltimore as well. He is ostensibly the Scourge, although the
job he fulfills does not quite fit the description of the position. Rumors are abound that the Prince truly
wants Lazarus to become Sheriff, as was his mentor before him, but it is yet to
be seen whether the Prince is hell-bent on this or whether it is simply gossip.
Gangrel
Holdings
Due to the
meager representation by the Gangrel clan, the Outlanders have very little
control in Baltimore. Lazarus at one
point controlled the so-called Anubi; however, the Anubi have since been
crushed to near destruction in the campaign against the Sabbat in Northern and
Eastern Maryland and Delaware. The
south Baltimore neighborhood of Brooklyn is the only remaining Gangrel
territory; it was once the domain of Quentin Mullough, and it remains to be
seen whether anyone else wants it.
