Vampiric Society in Milan
Prince Ferdinand d'Altara - Lasombra - ruler of Milan
Ferdinand has a great history, he has travelled
alot, and spent a fair bit of time in the Spanish headquarters of the
Lasombra. He took over Milan when the previous Prince resigned... Its
unusal for a Prince to resign, but many suspect the Lasoombra elders had
a reason for wanting Ferdinand to rule. When Ferdinand first arrived in
Milan 150 years ago, several vampires where unceremonousily ask to leave.
Theese tended to be representatives of clans its known Ferdinand has some
anamosity towards. He on a number of occasions proved to be rather strong,
opinated and a powerful good prince. However in the past years his power
has declined. People worry his advisors have too much control over him
and there is some doubt as to his ability to protect Milan. The presence
of the Assemite ambassador is seen to some to be the last straw.
Paulo de Castel - Ventrue Elder and Prince's advisor
Paulo is a strong upright Ventrue elder, he believes strongly
in the superiority of Vampires over humans and in maintaining order
and stability in vampiric society in Milan. He is the Prince's right
hand man and foremost advisor, its also rumoured he controls some of
Milan's ruling council members, and his failure to dominate the Duke is
a great frustration to him. He is arrogant, but sees himself as doing
what is right, and is always willing to give advice, even when it is
not wanted.
David de Castel - Ventrue Elder
David is another Ventrue elder that also seems to walk one step
behing Paulo de Castel. It's rumoured that the pair were born as brothers, and one sired the other. Their pysical appearance seems to bear out this rumour, however at times they can seem very different. While David seems to march to Paulo's tune, he has his own strong opinions which sometimes conflict with the party line. There is a lot more to David than meets the eye.
Christiano d'Argenta - Ventrue Ancilla - Drew's PC
Christiano is an old Milianese noble, who's family have lived in Milan for many many years. He is a regular at court, a noble Ventrue at heart, and rumoured to be a true believer.
Marco di Giovine - Capadoccian Necromancer - Prince's advisor
Marco is originally from Venezia, he said to be a powerful Necromancer, from a powerful family that recruits from within its own bloodlines to form a core group within the Cappadocian clan. Marco has the Prince's ear, and some suspect his influence over the Prince is stronger than it should be. People tend to distrust these dark cappadocian vampires, however they do usually stick to there own kind and there own research, rather than getting involved in politics, like Marco has.
It's also widely believe that Michaela is Marco's childer
Michaela Contarini - Capadoccian
Michaela also from Venice, rumoured to have some unsavory habits,
has a passion for the study of death and anatomy. Stays in Marco's shadow
generally, but is easy enough to draw into a conversation, holding her attention can be difficult if she isn't interested in the topic though.
Name? - Assemite Ambassador
Name? arrived at the Milan court recently. No one is quite sure why the
Prince let him stay, let alone, put him under his protection. name? has the
Prince's protection, and provided he obeys the rules he is welcome in the
court. There is a fair amount of suspicion directed towards this infidel,
however so far he has kept his nose clean. He is a mystery to most.
Francisco Maria Rodriguez y Navaroo - Lasombra Ancilla - Mikey/NPC
Francisco is a 'visitor' from spain, seems to have had training as a priest and a scholar. Is a smooth elegant man, who can get quite passionate when discussing philosphy and history. Has his own opinions and will share them as asked.
Rodrigo Rigante Goncalves da Silva - Brujah - Cam's PC

Francisco is providing accomodation for Rodrigo and his horse. Rodrigo is rumoured to be highly respected within the Brujah clan, but as the token Brujah in Milan he is a minor member of the court.
Miranda Liatta - Toreador Ancilla
Miranda has been established in the Milan court for many many years, No one knows her true age, however she seems to know a lot and has travelled widely throughout the known world. Quite often she presents the face of a somewhat
flippant noblewoman, interested in arts, beauty and little of substance, and many people treat her thusly. However on getting to know her, one discovers much much more past the face she presents. However the de Castels frequently seek her advice when planning gatherings and her opinions on art/architecture/appearances.
Marguerite - Toreador - Roie's PC
Marguerite is a sensual toreador with many many gifts and talents, quite a few secrets and a fetish for fine textiles. And she comes with a price. Is Miranda's childe
Sheran Alessi - Ravnos
Sheran is a smooth charmer, with a definite roguish demeanor. Sheran is somewhat wild, and not so good at behaving himself in court. However he keeps people entertained, so aside from the occasional snide comments about court jester's Sheran hides his true feelings, and one day we will learn if there is a bite to go with his bark.
Name? - female Ravnos - Amber maybe
Very close to Sheran, seems friendly with the assemite
