Setting
Lasombra
-Lucanus- Lasombra Prince of Venice since the time of Justinian's invasions, Lucanus was well known throughout Europe for both his power and his acceptance of outside clans within his city. Lucanus disappeared nearly twenty years ago, after leaving instructions for the city upon his entering torpor. A few claim he is not in torpor, but dead at the hands of Lenhard.
-Cyriacus- Lucanus' childe and designated heir. Claims Lucanus entered torpor willingly twenty years ago and left the city to him. He has claimed praxis since his sire's disappearance, but is plagued by constant doubt in the city, due to the presence and claims of Lenhard.
-Eugenio Gardesano- another childe of Lucanus, Eugenio is the religious adviser of his "brother" Cyriacus, and is the driving force behind the push to rid the city of many of the more mystical vampires that entered the city in the last few centuries. Rumored to have been an Archbishop or other high ranking prelate in life, Gardesano is known to follow the letter of the teachings of God, if not necessarily the spirit.
-Miguel Ortazo- Asturian by birth, Miguel is a hot tempered and eager combatant that has served as sheriff of Venice for quite some time. Miguel is accorded high honor in the court, due to his close personal friendship with Cyriacus, which was stronger than his loyatly to Lucanus when the elder vampire was active. Ortazo is very open with his opinions, and isn't afraid to insult kindred he sees as inferior. He also isn't afraid to back up his words with Spanish steel.
-Bianca Foscari- Childe of Cyriacus, Bianca Foscari serves as his primary spokeswoman to the lower ranks of the kindred population. Very skilled at diplomatic interaction, she is respected for her tolerance and seeming neutrality toward all the clans. Foscari is the most commonly seen representative of the court, and has interacted with nearly every kindred in the city at some point.
-Rosabella Vorti- the childe of Bianca Foscari, Rosabella has only recently been recognized as a valuable ancillae of the court. She is still young compared to most of her bloodline, but she is a canny and capable diplomat, befitting her sire.
-Saverio da Riva- A childe of Cyriacus, Saverio is one of his sire's more capable agents, and is often seen as the more militant counter to Bianca Foscari's diplomatic demeanor. Saverio is closely associated with both the Scourge and the Sheriff, and often delivers the Prince's ultimatums to wayward kindred.
-Tiziano Falier- childe of Eugenio Gardesano, Tiziano is a bit more approachable than his sire, but not much. He is effectively the city Seneschal, though he does not bear the title, but he is the one most responsible for the day to day running of the court.
-Vincens Vaguer- A relative newcomer to the city, Vaguer came from Barcelona in Aragon, on the Iberian peninsula. He is tied to the sheriff and therefore to Cyriacus, though the court has never been made aware of the exact connection. Vaguer is somewhat involved in the commerce of the city, and has also aided the sheriff occasionally in his official duties.
-Jusuf ibn Fazreel- A Lasombra of unknown lineage from the North of Africa, Jusuf ibn Fazreel has a secret agreement with Mordiacus that has kept him in the city for decades. He has little interaction with others of his clan, preferring to keep to his own devices.
-Mezzanotte- a rumor more than anything, this supposed Lasombra is a master of abyssal sorcery and even darker, more dangerous arts if the stories are true. Her existence has never been confirmed by the court, and none have ever stepped forward to say they have actually met her.
-Nero Moria- an unaligned Lasombra who is viewed as an outlaw by the court. He is one of the leaders of the disillusioned and aggressive young kindred that plague the darker parts of the city, and are known for having more guts than sense.
