Coterie:
The Veilleurs

History

                    The history of the Veilleurs is described in the Chapter 1: History & Mythos of the Sectbook: Veilleur.

Destiny

                    As recognized by some as a police of Villon, and by others by annoying scholars with enough thaumaturgical means to back up their claims, the Veilleurs will greatly suffer from the disorders of 1998-1999. But soon after, they will start to answer tenfold, apparently helped by some unknown ally...

Alexis: Master of the Veilleurs

For all purpose, Alexis is the master of the Veilleurs. While officially submitted to the authority of Ivan, his independance is such he works alone, answering to Villon only (at least, most of the time). Lately, he was really susprised. While a knight at heart, he always had some doubts about Meryt-Neith. When she told he she would submit to the Veilleur's Vinculum Ritual, his doubts were erased: She appears to really care about the Sect... Perhaps she plans to make them join the Knights of Hecate...   Vinculum Lady of Shadows Villon   Anaïs Catherine Criaâr David J.F. Champollion Master Chan Merevith Myriam Nathaniel Alexis 10 9   10 6 8 8 3 5 10 What do you think about: Elle: She is dangerous, and the fact Villon gave her the unofficial right to ask the help of the Veilleurs and Masques only increases her deadliness. François Villon: I know he have some doubts about the Veilleurs. I will prove him he was right to trust me. Ivan: Bastard. I like to see the Anarchs receive protection from the Veilleurs just to see the old bastard cringe... Lady of Shadows: My mistress. I owe her more than my life and unlife. Her cause is a just one and thus, I help her as much as I can. Lazlo: The little pedophiliac monster dismisses the Veilleurs as annoying scholars. Cool... Anaïs: My love... Catherine: She was once cast out of the Sect, and asked to come back. I wonder at her true purpose. I see darkness, pain and love in her eyes. It is a deadly combination, and I fear I will have, perhaps, to kill her some night... Criaâr: This loner was a scholar when alive, and learnt well from his Tremere ex-Master. Her is a good addition to the sect. David: Someone able to flee the Sabbat and coming back with his Humanity almost intact is surprising. He is, sometimes, strange, but his willingness to fight any danger is useful and welcome. J.F. Champollion: With Criaâr, he his the soul of the Veilleurs. Not a powerful Kindred, his knowledge of lost languages is an invaluable help. Master Chan: The heart of the Veilleur. Most Veilleurs went to him at least once, and his wisdom helped them retain their humanity in the darkest nights of their unlives. Merevith: The novel author is in just for the action, or so it seems. I've seen at least two books where he described events that happened to him or others Veilleurs... Myriam: She was a danger and a spy. She is now lawful and a spy... Nathaniel: The dancer has deep introspective thoughts, and I know he regrets about his membership. He will learn that to be a Veilleur is also to wield great power...

Elle: L'Infante

What do you think about: Alexis: Well well well... Frankly, when I need muscles, I ask for Masques. Alexis' boring behaviour somehow affect all the sect, and all this mystery ''aura'' can't hide this fact. François Villon: I believe he gave to much power to the Veilleurs. Ivan: Just to see the bastard fume about the fact the Veilleurs are out of his control makes me happy for the night... Lady of Shadows: Who?. Lazlo: He disdain the Veilleurs are old scholars. He doesn't see how much dangerous they can became. Anaïs: So this is the love of Alexis? Fascinating... Catherine: Dark, beautiful, mysterious Catherine. I feel internal fight within her soul, so much fire and ice in the same person makes me shiver with anticipation... Criaâr: Disgusting. If at least he could hide his animalistic behaviour... David: This Gangrel is most civilized of the Bloodline. He carries such magnetism he can be deadly in love affairs... J.F. Champollion: He was of a great help a long time ago... His work in the Louvre was great but almost uninspired. Master Chan: Where is the wisdom of remaining alone with a dozen bonzai trees?. Merevith: I like his novels... he is such an exquisite author! Myriam: Myriam's embrace was a mistake: She still retains her ghoul's behaviour. Nathaniel: Deadly in the Cour, I wonder why Nathaniel works for the Veilleurs...

François Villon: Prince of Paris and France

What do you think about: Alexis: The Veilleurs are a great success I know that if someone can discover the true nature of the Corruption, it is Alexis. Elle: I know she disaprove my choice with the Veilleurs. How clever she is... Ivan: Ivan needed competition. Alexis provides a good one, and the two balance each others. Lady of Shadows: I know Alexis has some occult help, and one night he will have to explain me his ties with mysterious sorceress. Lazlo: Well... Anaïs: Alexis fell in love, and I wonder if Anaï:s will become a true Toreador, but Alexis loves her so much it is refreshing to see the ''machine-man'' express something else than mild happiness. Catherine: So she asked to enters the Sect? I don't understant her... Or I fear I understand her too much... Criaâr: Criaâr's presence in the Veilleur is an insult to the Tremere... Well, I will some night consider giving him the right to Embrace Progeny... David: Styled Gangrel. What interest a charming Gangrel finds in this sect? J.F. Champollion: Champollion is an artist, even if a poor one. He is an artist of the languages, and few understand this as much as I do. Master Chan: . Merevith: . Myriam: . Nathaniel: .

Note the Pyramidal system: 1 Master, 2 Paladin, etc.. Villon limited the Number of Official Veilleurs to 1+2+3+4=10, and limited access to Non-Tremere only. One cotterie was mysteriously destroyed. There's now some vacancies for would-be Veilleurs. Your players, perhaps?

After is a resume of the Vinculum. The character in the left column feels a Vinculum for each character in the higher line.

for example, Villon doesn't feel any Vinculum for anyone. Alexis feels a 9 for Villon, 3 for Chan, 8 for Champollion etc..
