The Council and Colleagues
"Don't let Beth fool
you. She may act like she's only got her precious causes on her mind.
She may act naieve or even downright dumb. But Los Angeles takes it's
causes seriously, and you should take Beth seriously, too, or you'll
quickly find yourself at the wrong end of a political maneuver that will
leave you out in the cold. You will never again think Gangrel can't
influence things." ---Frederick Harper, Malkavian Harpy of Twilightland
"Grace is one of the
tag-alongs of the Council, but at least she's nice to look at and fun to
have at parties. You could do a lot worse for a Harpy, and I think I
should know." ---Paul Wrigley, Catalina Island Toreador
Kate Winslet as Grace
Lord Kiley and Colleagues
"Lord Kiley is a fascist who has no business being in the States. We
should roast his ass but quick before he sells us out for ten bucks."
---Martine, Brujah, South LA
"Nash is a gifted man. His gifts are wasted on Kiley's so-called 'court'.
His humor is both incisive, vicious and inspirationally pointed. Perhaps
it is only his oft-admitted congenital laziness that keeps him in Beverly
Hills, where the targets are both easy to find and generally unable to
retaliate." ----Bianca Cabot, Pasadena Toreador
The Senate and Colleagues
"Even though a lot of people have a hard time calling her
'Senator' instead of 'Prince', the story of Kindred control of Pasadena
begins and ends with Valerie Conway. The universities? Got them. The
rich eccentrics? Got them. The truly demented Orange County political
situation? Got it. She is the one that the other Senators compete
with. She is the target. She knows it. And she loves it."
-----Anonymous
"Senator Cabot
is simply oh so entertaining, and a very interesting woman. You simply
must come out to the little soiree we're having at the
beach house this weekend. It promises to be so
entertaining." ---Dorothy, Toreador
"A lot of people
think that Prince Valerie is the only reason the Senate has survived so
long. This is completely wrong from beginning to end. The true guiding
force behind the Senate is Leah Pearl. She's been involved with it from
it's inception, only recently allowing herself to be elected President of
the Senate. She keeps a check on Valerie's excesses and keeps the group
cohesive and aggressive." ----Roman, Griffith Park Gangrel
"Tyler Salvatore
was elected to the Senate of Los Angeles only a scant four terms ago, but
to those of us 'in the know', so to speak, it's as if he's been around
since the beginning. He may look serious, but he's got a sense of humor a
mile wide and a smile that seems to be nearly half that size. What can
you say about a man who not only claims control of the city library
system, but also claims that such control is more important than the LAPD?
He seems to have style to spare, and there may even be some substance
underneath all that..." ---Yellow Kids editorial, 1994
Alan Rickman as Tyler Salvatore
Twilight and Colleagues
"I don't know why
everyone seems to have such a big problem with a Malkavian leader of an
Anarch Free State. In the final analysis, all of Los Angeles seems a
bit strange. It's only natural, as far as I'm concerned." ---Sara
Polacek, Santa Monica Brujah
"Phyllis is extremely strange." ---Twilight
"A fine
gentleman, very upstanding, very understanding, very kind and always
ready with a good word for someone else. And in a lot of people's minds,
that makes him completely insane." ----Keggleman, Long Beach Nosferatu
Sid and Colleagues
"I do not wish to
speak about this person now or at any time in the future." ---Lord Kiley
"When you shake
his hand, be sure you count your fingers afterwards." ---Allister
Norton
"The dismal
performance of Victoria Singer in the role of the sister is just another
reason to avoid this stinker." ----Variety
Independent Harpies
"We aim to bring
you the most of what is happening around Los Angeles. There are no rules
in this town, and as far as we're concerned, there are no secrets, either.
This is official. This is real. This is live. This is truth. And if
you believe that, you'll buy anything.
"Paul is the only vampire on Catalina Island. Might sound stupid, but
Catalina was and is the place for high rollers and the
extremely rich to vacation and has been since the 1930s. And the
isolated location is just far enough out of the way that he can remain
safe regardless of what's happening on the mainland..." ---Sappho,
Nosferatu, Long Beach
"Oh, Dorothy's been
giving parties at her estate for, you know, forever, and
she'll be more damned if she's going to let some silly little anarch
revolution stop her from having a good time. Just don't mention Paul
Wrigley: he's her only competition. Stick with her. Wrigley is less
than nothing." ---Anonymous...(they might have had a name, but after
Wrigley was done savaging their Status, who cares who they were?)
The South
"Jefferson looked
like a football player. Jefferson looked like someone's father.
Jefferson looked like he might bring the South back to being a nice place
to live. So of course, Jefferson had to die. They told me those were
the rules, and I got angry like they thought I would, but it didn't make
any difference. I miss him." ---Twilight
Alan Page as Jefferson
Independents
"No, no, I want to
see the permit. Yes, I'm sure it's safe. No, the
permit. You have to have a permit from the city. Look, no, I'm not
accusing you of anything...yes, I've got mouths to feed, too. Look, hey,
no! No, your permit. Yes, for bathrooms and stuff. And the food
booths..and the rides. A safety permit. So we make sure nobody gets
hurt. No! I'm not...no ma'am. No, look, I..." ----Griffin Sargent,
Department of Public Safety
"And when they walked
into Kiley's court, they were wearing these outlandish outfits: paisley
and stripes and spots and flowers, and it was hysterically funny but at
the same time it didn't actually look too bad, and the head one named his
price, and Lord Kiley agreed to it, and the next week we learned that the
so-called Prince of Sacramento had gone completely insane and been
euthanized by his Seneschal, who had immediately surrendered to Kiley's
ambassador..." ---Mr. White, Nosferatu
Have you seen this man?
FROM THE COUNCIL OF LOS ANGELES:
This man, known only as "The Specialist", was sighted in South Los
Angeles immediately before a powerful Sabbat raid. If you have any
information as to his whereabouts, contact the Council or your local
authorities immediately! This is no shit, people: the Sabbat is serious
business.
Hunters
"...by 1962, the CIA
had been completely infiltrated with dopplegangers: what Truman had
envisaged as the last fighting force against the gradual encroachment of
psychic vampirism and Nazi voodoo sorcerers had instead become a covert
army turned against famed third-eye openers like Martin Luther King and
Richard Nixon." ----uncompleted graduate thesis by Roy Weishaupt, leader
of The Third Six, April 1989
"Mr. Huber is an
exceptional agent, and I'm sure he'll do well in Special Affairs.
Whatever that is." ----Supervising Agent Dale Packard, Organized Crime
Division
