To the Kindred of Tucson

Some of you may not know me, some of you may have forgotten me and some of you probably don't want to see me again. Regardless of what your opinion of me is, I will be back.. SOON.

When I left Tucson, it was because I had several individuals after me, for various reasons. They know who they are. But there are a couple of things I want you to know before I return.

First, in my years in Tucson, I held many positions. Deputy, Sheriff, Keeper of Elysium, and Prince. Not to mention Elder of my Clan. In all that time I was only looking to protect all of you from yourselves, and in the best interests of our society. But there were persons within Tucson that didn't like this, they saw me as a threat to their plans. The biggest plan was that of handing Tucson over to the Sabbat, which is what is bringing me back. Because I've been keeping my eyes on the city, and whether you know it or not, your city is nearly lost to the Camarilla.

The night of my escape from Tucson, I was accused by Rev. Lee of working for the FBI, and giving my information to them. I think I know who filled Rev. Lee's ears with this knowledge, and they know who they are. At that time my only response to the question of working for the FBI was "former".

Well here is the real information.

In 1986 I did join the FBI, after going through their training, I was assigned to the Drug Taskforce. I was assigned to the Dade County region (that's Miami,Fl.), and while there earned the nickname "bloodhound", because I was seemingly able to smell the drugs better that the dogs. I was transferred nearly a year later to New York, to continue work with the Taskforce.

Two years later, I was sent back to Miami, where I went undercover. this is where I encountered my sire-to-be. In 1991, while following a known drug dealer/importer, I was attacked by he who was to become my sire. to this day, the FBI lists me as "Missing /Presumed Deceased". In my time with the FBI, I never knew about S.A.D., or the Special Affairs Division. This department of the FBI, is the one that knows about us. After I was embraced, I learned about this department.

Now ask yourself this question. If I were giving information to the FBI's S.A.D. unit while I was living in Tucson, do you honestly believe that any of you would be reading this letter? In my time in the city, I built up files on everyone. I had every vampire in the city on photographs, plus numerous videos of all of you. I have many of you on video doing things that you were not supposed to do, and I knew where many of your havens were. Had I been giving information to the S.A.D., most of you would be dead, or worst, would now be an experiment of the US Govt.

I worked with the Justicars and Archons to make sure that Tucson was kept safe from the Sabbat. Some of you know all too well the problems that I cleaned up, quietly, many times without the aid of others.

Well, in my absence I have been working with my Clan's Justicar, giving them as much information I had accumulated about the activities going on in the city. some of this has undoubtedly been passed on to the Camarilla Council.

Something I find amusing.. I've been hearing rumors of people wishing that I would return and kill your current Prince, James Monroe. No, of all the Kindred in the city, he was about the only one that never gained my attention in his dealings. He may have done some improper things, but he covered them well. So personally, I think he's a good choice, but I can easily see the puppet-strings that are attached him, and with those severed, Mr. Monroe would probably make a very good Prince. I think many of you think that, for you yourselves know who the "bad apples" are within the city. but your more likely afraid to do anything about it. To quote those westerns shot at Old Tucson Studios...
