One day Julia's perspective on the world is changed, when she's Embraced into the fatalistic Lasombra. She is thrust into this new world, cut off from her mortal life in more ways than one. She is denied any reliance on technology that could help her cope, and finds that she has to remain an outsider in death as she was in life. An immigrant from Poland, she already found adapting to life in NYC difficult prior to her Embrace and that was before she lost her job, realized she had almost no friends to rely on, and was made part of a society that would ultimately look down on her through no fault of her own. Now a Lasombra member of the Camarilla, her official role - being an immigration officer of sorts - carries little recognition or status, furthering her isolation. She's often seen sitting alone in the furthest corner of a crappy fast food joint in the early hours before dawn. Her vibe is heavily fatalist, which often comes across as a dry, dark sense of humor. She loves cigarettes - the way they smell, the way they burn, the hot ash falling from the top, the sound of the lighter or a match... but most of all, the way they kill you. Artbook]

Julia's mortal friend, stylist, and confidante. Dakota comes from a wealthy household and thinks of herself as artistically driven, despite recently mostly sticking to monotonous contracted work. She thinks of herself as the Sun to Julia's Moon, which carries over to her appearance and the "opposites attract" vibe of their relationship. She's also an optimist who carries herself with a natural, free-spirited magnetism and self-assured confidence a counterpoint to Julia's constant pessimism. While such close contacts with kine are frowned upon by the Camarilla, Julia's and Dakota's relationship is tolerated, if not encouraged. After all, it can be used as grounds for coercion Artbook]

Qadir's loyalty to the sect is the sole reason why he took on the role of Sheriff at the behest of Calebros, the leader of the local Camarilla during the Battle of New York. He hoped for another to take over his post after a new Prince was established, but Panhard decided to keep him - and his sense of honor made him remain, though he feels his humanity slowly dissipating every night. He believes himself on the path to damnation, and has taken a defeatist view of his prospects. Although there is a more altruistic part of him that shines through occasionally, his increasing cruelty foretells his destination... or does it? Artbook]

Torque, the unofficial "Baron of the Bronx" is a World War 2 veteran who was Embraced into the Brujah clan shortly after coming home from Europe. He rooted himself in the local Anarch community, slowly becoming a trusted ally of many of his Kindred compatriots - but always remaining in Boss Callihan's shadow. Torque was patient, knowing that any action he took against the Baron of New York City would surely create an uphill struggle. The events of Operation Lights Out, and the loss of his childe to what seemed, at best, Callihan's cowardice (and at worst an overt betrayal), embittered him - but also convinced him to make his move sooner rather than later.

One of the key Camarilla figures in NYC. In life, he was a ruthlessly brilliant political and economic theorist, a free market ideologue. Towards the end he became driven by the fear of death, prolonging his life using every possible medical procedure and using all measures at his disposal to find the key to immortality. Unlike many who tried, he actually succeeded. A powerful Ventrue representative found him on his deathbed, his body broken down in nearly every way, but decided his mind was worth preserving. Of course, his immense wealth, privilege, contacts, and access didn't hurt — he remains one of the most valuable assets Panhard has on Wall Street. Eternally tying Addison to his broken-down state was just an added twist of cruelty, a reminder for Payne about how close he was to his end, and how grateful he should be for being preserved.

Aisling Sturbridge is the High Regent of the Chantry of the Five Boroughs, which makes her, in theory, the most influential Tremere in New York City. Her prior focus on research and furthering the Pyramid's plans is losing ground to politics, and her position could become less and less stable with time. She is compromising not just her personal interests, but also, occasionally, a bit of dignity, which is briefly put into focus during the Celebrations of Power. Artbook]

D 'Angelo fancies himself an undead detective. With a knack for gathering information and getting into places he's not supposed to be, and a habit of verbally narrating his own actions, he's the spitting image of a neo-noir private eye. He has a few ties to the Camarilla structures - chief among them an occasional ally in Qadir Al-Asmai - but most often, he works alone. One reason is that he does not shy away from cases presented to him by the Anarchs, or the much maligned thin-bloods. Like the detectives that he models himself on, D'Angelo might seem crude or cynical, but he's more empathetic than he lets on. Artbook]

Most vampires fall out of touch with modern trends not long after their Embrace, but Hope's trajectory was the exact opposite - instead of shying away from technology, she doubled down on her mortal practices. The Camarilla might be critical of Kindred using the internet after several high-profile Second Inquisition interventions, but if you ask Hope, those events stemmed from insufficient mastery of the digital. Hiding behind dozens of online handles, some of which have become ingrained in her psyche, this Malkavian feels secure in her nightly escapades into the Web for profit... and fun. Artbook]

Kaiser is New York City's eminence grise, the kind of Kindred you want to avoid, but can't. Sooner or later, you'll need some obscure detail or piece of clandestine info, and it's this Nosferatu you'll have to contact. He doesn't play sides, but he never shares anything for free. Over the years, he became embedded in the city's population, foiling any attempts to oust him by either Prince Panhard or Baron Callihan. He travels around the city in a limo that serves as his mobile fortress, in addition to allegedly keeping multiple havens at inconspicuous locations around New York City. Artbook]

The Keeper of Elysium at the Art Hole has been an important persona in NYC since at least the early 2000s. Wiese is a rather mysterious figure who rarely appears among other Kindred, but when she does, it's usually for a memorable occasion. She covers the lower part of her face due to some kind of accident from before her Embrace, and she typically finds any questions on this topic to be tasteless. These nights, her custody of the Elysium is mostly in name only, but her status as a well connected and relatively well liked socialite helps maintain her position. Artbook]

Mia is Torque's right hand. Another member of the Anarchs who previously led her unlife in the shadow of Boss Callihan, and was trying to maintain a level of independence from the old Baron. Naturally, this made her gravitate more and more toward Torque, thus beginning their long-term cooperation. Mia sees in Torque everything an Anarch Baron should be, and she's eager to recruit new Kindred to their cause. However, she's painfully aware that spies - both Callihan's and the Camarilla's - may be waiting for an opportune moment to uproot all of what the two Anarchs have spent so many years building.

It's t's not easy being a Gangrel in the Camarilla. Ever since the clan unofficially quit the sect at the turn of the century, its members had to choose their loyalties carefully. For Tamika, a restless soul born on the West Coast but Embraced on the East, a grace period was ensured by her lineage - she is the childe of Jezebelle, a noted member of the Clan of the Beast in New York City. This time is coming to an end, however. With her sire having moved on from the city some years ago, Tamika will now have to decide her own path. On the one hand, the Ivory Tower offers nominal safety at the cost of dignity; on the other, the Anarchs promise freedom, at the price of having to constantly watch your back. The choice is tough, and it seems there is no simple answer. Artbook]

A designer whose skill and talents have been preserved by his sire, and who has since found himself to be quite an influential figure in the Camarilla court.

Even by the standards of immortal beings hopelessly stuck in their ways, Douglas Callihan is behind the times. His style of leadership and outlook on the modern world both obviously belong in the 19th century, when the Anarch Baron of NYC was Embraced. It took the NYC Anarchs many decades, but the 21st century seems to be the time when their discontent with the current (supposed) torchbearer of their cause is finally boiling over. Callihan himself is no fool, either - ever concerned about his own continued survival, he realizes that his grasp on the local sect members has grown unstable. A firm grasp will have to become a stranglehold if the old Boss is to maintain his position in the city. Artbook]

Out of all the potential candidates, it is she who managed to secure her claim to Princedom after the Ivory Tower spread and secured their domain. Her previous status as a court mainstay allowed her to pull many strings and call in many favors, but it was one secretive ally who tipped the scales in her favor... Artbook]
