The Kindred
If you are going to survive out there you are going to know who you are playing with. This city (like every city) has rules and breaking them ignorantly does not come with any sense of forgiveness. Below you will find a brief description of the major players within the city and how to best stay on their good side.
Prince Augusto Vidal
Clan: Ventrue
Covenant: Lancea Sanctum
Apparent Age: Late 30's
Details: Augustus Vidal has been the Prince of New Orleans for two and half centuries and in these modern nights he has become very weary of how much longer he can maintain control. You experience his tight grip on the city through the many different laws and rules he enforces within his domain. As a standing member of the Lancea Sanctum, Vidal ensures that all those who reside within his city acknowledge the tenants of Longinus and abide by the codes and laws of God as they have been spoken.
Currently Vidal is at his wits ends when it comes to the building tension between his two main rivals; Antoine Savoy and Baron Cimitiere.

Miss Opal - Primogen
Clan: Nosferatu
Covenant: Carthian
Apparent Age: Middle Aged
Details: The efforts of Miss Opal remain toward the goals of the Carthian Movement which coupled with her Nosferatu lineage generates great disdain with Prince Vidal. Regardless she still continues to work his patience, generating ties with other local Carthians and members of the Nosferatu to effect greater change within the socio-political arena of New Orleans.

Gabriel Hurst, Primogen
Clan: Ventrue
Covenant: Lancea Sanctum
Apparent Age: Early 30's
Details: A mild tempered religious zealot and much younger than those he shares the Inner Circle with, Gabriel consists of all the qualities you'd find in a southern god fearing man. Yet these qualities have been twisted by the beast making him exclusively hospitable to those who share his religious leanings or benefits his goals. His recent appointment to the Circle of Primogen has given him the confidence to envision greater goals for himself and his ilk.

Coco Duquette, Primogen
Clan: Mekhet
Covenant: Carthians
Apparent Age: Early 20's
Details: Coco is a true supporter of Vidal's rule, though with the rousing rumors of his nearing sleep (torpor) she has begun to take measures to be in a position of influence enough to be a voice in deciding his successor. She does not hold very close ties with many in the city, though she does consider Miss Opal to be an ally by proxy of their shared Covenant.

Donovan, Sheriff of New Orleans
Clan: Daeva
Covenant: Lancea Sanctum
Apparent Age: Late 20's
Details: Rumors spread around the city of Donovan's ruthless and cold-hearted tactics when it comes to protecting and maintaining the traditions within New Orleans. His attire and southern mannerisms make him more suited to host parties rather then enforce Vidal's rules though his icy gaze reveals the ferocity hidden within.
Being the Childe of Antoine Savoy creates quite the mystery considering that Donovan has claimed loyalty to his sire's direct enemy, Prince Vidal. No one knows why this arrangement has occurred and none of the parties ever speak of it in public.

Antoine Savoy, Lord of the French Quarter
Clan: Daeva
Covenant: Lancea Sanctum
Apparent Age: Mid 30's
Details: Considered to be the only contender for the seat of Prince, Antoine has laid claims that don't seem to add up. Regardless, once his sire Maria Pascual was destroyed he had found himself with enough wealth and influence to claim the territory of the French Quarter as his own. Prince Vidal does not recognize such a claim, though has never attempted to root him out of the domain, and Antoine is just fine with that.
With the Prince nearing Torpor, Antoine finds himself in a prime position to usurp the city's throne but first must amass greater resource's and allies to ensure his ascendancy.

Baron Cimitiere, Circumstantial Regent
Clan: Nosferatu
Covenant: Circle of the Crone
Apparent Age: Indeterminate
Details: Considered to be the strangest of all the kindred who call New Orleans home, Baron Cimitiere has created a strong following made up of all kindred and kine who practice Voudou. His clan coupled with his covenant ties make him a direct threat to Prince Vidal and his rule even though Cimitiere himself is only interested in safeguarding his followers and maintaining their safety to practice their chosen religion.
He does not actively undermine Vidal or his rule but will not hesitate to go all the way in defending both his beliefs and those who claim fealty to him.
