Darius
| Thread | Status |
|---|---|
| Cover story under scrutiny (2x) | OPEN. Warren Birch built for Gary. Chicago has 100 Kindred with Auspex. Critias engaged D037 — saw past Conformist mask, invited to faculty club. Cover intact but profile raised. |
| Chuc Luc’s pipeline (2x) | OPEN. Sire operates from Chinatown. Capone’s territory. Conflict of interest. Greystone maps overlap with pipeline interests. |
| Chicago court politics (2x) | ADVANCING. Primogen session complete (D039). Critias +3 (D040 faculty club). Gengis +2, Brennon +1. Inyanga thread live — her abstention is cover, not position; her vote available to whoever solves the Wolf Pack problem. Ballard’s Case 5/6. |
| Blood Bond steps (2x) | ACTIVE. Darius: Step 1/3 Menele (D031 frenzy, subconscious) + Step 1/3 Lodin (D056 forced toast, conscious). Sable: Step 1/3 Allicia (Act I) + Step 1/3 Lodin (D056). Tomás: Tremere Vinculum (chantry, separate mechanic) + Step 1/3 Lodin (D056). No full Bonds yet — all at Step 1 (mild positive feelings, no compulsion). Blood Bond Web 2/6. Emily Carter (Jefferson’s blood) = next bond vector, Act III. |
| Anarch unrest | ADVANCING. Gengis +2 (Wolf Pack intel D038 — informal debt). Wolf Pack launched unauthorized dynamite run on Brujah safehouse night before Primogen session. Gengis sent ghouls to evacuate “Mookie’s place.” Outcome unknown. Brewery Thursdays after 10. Succession talk active. |
| Ballard’s counterattack (2x) | ADVANCING. Greystone Fiduciary = mortal finance network (LaSalle). Letter intercepted: 3 Annabelle properties targeted. Courier network mapped (Craig Hessler → Hayward → brownstone). “Entrée comes Friday.” Annabelle warned by Sable. Camera at Sherwin-Williams has Darius’s face. Forgetful Mind on Craig thin (1 succ). |
| Railroad leverage | OPEN. Drummond’s ledger maps unauthorized freight. Pipeline implications for Chuc Luc. |
| Lodin’s return (2x) | ACTIVE. D054: Lodin resurfaced, deferred blood toast 1 month with conditions. D056: Deferral withdrawn after Masquerade breach at Auditorium Theatre. Forced blood toast executed — all three PCs drank. Lodin’s Grip 4/6. Coterie drank (Step 1/3 — not full Bond). Weekly Thursday reports to Neally. Critias liaison for Sabbat hunt. Toast COMPLETE — thread shifts to Lodin’s ongoing control posture. |
| Hunter pressure | ADVANCING D053. Dane 5/6 (active hunt). Society of Leopold Chicago cell FULLY MAPPED: Sayles (field), Tomba (field/forgery), Fr. Emil Koenig (Loyola researcher), Margaret Weil (Archdiocese logistics). 3 national distro points: Chicago/Herdon, New Orleans/Cavanaugh, Boston/Newbury bookshop. Dane classified “independent-friendly” — still sends reports to DC, receives quarterly field bulletins. Oct 1990 report: Dane IDed Modius + Allicia only (no neonates). Jan 1991 bulletin: Gary = “low priority.” Next bulletin April 1991. Both field operatives Mesmerized + Forgetful Mind’d + post-hypnotic suggestion: prioritize Dane recall/tribunal. Tomba committed verbally to “handling” Dane personally. Herdon Entranced (Sable, 5 succ, expires Feb 12) — Conditioning planned (0/14 successes). Shepard (FBI, dormant). Leopold HQ: DC near Catholic University. Georgetown = consecrated ground, permanent Society presence. Lanee Andrin (New Orleans, Dane-trained, hunts via Josua Cambridge portraits) = Dane network. Society has IDed 3 Chicago Kindred by description only (North Side nightclub woman, Civic Opera man, Hyde Park university — likely Annabelle/unknown/Critias). |
| The Methuselah War | HIDDEN but ACTIVE. Helena vs Menele. Darius bonded Step 1. Three Jyhad pieces (Darius, Lodin, Critias). |
| Sabbat infiltration | ADVANCING D053-D054. Rigaud and Wade embedded (deep cover, careful). SEPARATE ELEMENT: Bach’s rogue Sabbat motorcycle pack operating openly — killed Michael (Malkavian 8th, Gary) in Pilsen domain, Serpent of the Light ritual trophy. Pack of 4-5, Creole-speaking woman leading. Bach’s pack = advance dressing for Blood Bond (WW2101). Rigaud will be furious at premature exposure risk. Two-track Sabbat threat: careful infiltrators (Rigaud/Wade) vs. reckless pack (Bach). Coterie reported to Neally + Nicolai. Michael’s death connects Gary (Dane hunt pushed him out) to Chicago (Bach’s kill zone). D054: Blood Bond Scene 1 staged for Saturday Feb 9 (Auditorium Theatre). Convergent hooks: Critias opera tickets + Nicolai observation order. |
| Damien and Neon | Anarch allies (strained). Rescued coterie. Debt owed. Belthazar staked on Wacker — when unstaked, hunt. |
| Tremere breach | OPEN. Tomás found Walt’s walkup Jan 10. Counter-op transparent to Tremere. |
| Lodin’s siring ban | OPEN. 18 years, no new Embraces. Lodin broke his own rule. |
| Greystone / brownstone investigation (2x) | ADVANCING D038. Brownstone confirmed “Hayward place” (neighbor). Hayward intermittent — meeting spot, not residence. “Cars at all hours.” Crown Vic with alderman office parking placard. Fresh van tracks in alley. Second-floor watcher (active countersurveillance). SURVEILLANCE COMPROMISED: Darius’s face seen by neighbor + possibly watcher while asking about building. Camera risk at Sherwin-Williams still open. |
| Wednesday Primogen session | RESOLVED D039. Ballard reprimanded 3-2-1, censure failed. Inyanga abstained. |
| Player of Pawns (Critias game) | ADVANCING D043. Scene 3 COMPLETE. Killi engaged + wounded (shot .357, presumed recaptured by Critias offscreen). Vault location obtained. Vault emptied. Hag stone secured and deposited at Bordruff’s church. Dimitri’s wrath pending (knows vault breached, Rolf loose with Darius knowledge). Scene 4/5 pending — Succubus Club convergence. |
| Kaspar haven + Midwest Realty Trust | ESCALATED D059. MRT buying 18th St storefronts (Ashland-Damen), 4+ properties, cash offers. Committeeman Gallegos told Alderman Flores to back off. MRT is coterie’s landlord. Lease call made Feb 22-27 timeskip: MRT not renewing at old rate, building “under review,” 30-day notice given. Haven security now pressing. NEW MORTAL: Alderman Miguel Flores (25th Ward), Disp +1, Midwest Realty Trust intel source. |
| Bordruff question paid | NEW D043. Outstanding question-boon to Bordruff RESOLVED. Darius answered: “Lodin has the Methuselah” (disclosed stone location). Stone delivered. Boon squared. Disposition: -1 → 0. Campaign-level disclosure with future consequences. |
| Gordon Keaton — Caitiff contact | NEW D043. Vault survivor, Gold Coast/Loop circles. Phone number exchanged. Boon: Keaton provided cover story with Brennon (no Lodin exposure). Darius owes Keaton 1 minor boon for assistance rendered. Operational channel open. |
| Annabelle deployment + Wednesday meeting | NEW D043. Annabelle provided tactical assistance at Prometheus Productions (presence deployment on Rolf, tactical withdrawal). Implicit debt — Annabelle will call it in. Wednesday 8 PM pre-session meeting confirmed Jan 29 1991. |
| Tomás — Tremere operational channel | NEW D043. First joint scene. Drove Darius to Bordruff’s church. Operational trust baseline established. Disp +1. Channel open for future face-to-face contact (Tomás does not trust phones). |
| Dimitri’s brood — active in Chicago | ESCALATED D043. Vault breached. Rolf loose and knows Darius’s face. Dimitri now informed. Will debrief Rolf. Tension clock pending. Succession talk active. Unknowns: Dimitri identity, clan, generation, full objectives in Chicago game. CLOSED D045: Dimitri destroyed via diablerie (Critias intervened). Rolf/Paulov/Darva ordered out of Chicago. Darius held clean. Major Boon owed by Critias (banked). |
| Watcher surveillance | ACTIVE D041-D043. Tall man, long coat, made Darius at Succubus Club. Drove east in sedan. Identity unknown. Implies external tracking of coterie. May be connected to Dimitri’s operation or separate faction. |
| Fundamental Differences (Coleman + Brennon) | NEW D046. Published adventure (Succubus Club 1E). COMPLETE in one session. Coleman escorted to Gary on charter bus. True Faith resisted Dominate. Sable vomit vitae scare succeeded. Brennon redirected anger from Coleman to Modius (Pervis Ramsley evidence: paid agitator, matching Modius). Brennon promised to advocate formal status with Lodin. Disposition +2 → +3. Darius owes Brennon promissory debrief (Modius operations). Pervis Ramsley (mortal, Gary) driven home — new contact. No Masquerade breach. Coleman = future ally thread (Golconda catalyst, Gary intel). |
| Chuc Luc’s reckonings | ADVANCED D059. Lodin suspended claims but Darius reestablished contact Feb 27. Tunnel map delivered (3 weeks late — on the ledger). Mole framing accepted provisionally (“your mole inside Prince’s operation”). Intel shared: Lodin’s posture, Bach’s pack, South Loop anomaly. Chuc Luc already knew about anomaly. Biweekly Thursday 9 PM meetings established. Relationship stabilized but 26-day silence debt remains. Darius caught between sire and Prince — now actively managing both. |
| Lodin’s direct authority | NEW D047. Darius acknowledged as Prince’s blood (public lineage). Granted domain authority. Assigned as direct operational instrument. Changed standing from fugitive emissary to registered asset. Brings formal protection and visibility. Complicates Menele bond (subconscious) vs. Prince’s direct command. |
| Kuei-jin in the tunnels | ADVANCED D059. Anomaly reported to Chuc Luc (Feb 27). Chuc Luc already knew (“not new to me — it is new to you”). Gave Darius herbalist assignment: Wentworth/Cermak green awning, envelope introduction, examine tunnel map, report findings. Chuc Luc’s awareness implies Capone household has own intelligence on whatever operates underground. Sable’s Spirit’s Touch in that alley = first concrete data available to coterie. Full sideplot: vampire/Chicago by Night/Overview/Sideplots/Chinatown-Sideplot.md |
| The Dragon Below Chinatown | SEEDED D051. Jade Demon (Lo Pan) — ancient Nephandi barabbi, Arete 8+, operates beneath Old Chinatown from a Node at tunnel nexus. Controls Wing Kong tong. Has unnamed Tremere ally. Chuc Luc does not know. Tunnel network (coterie D050 discovery) extends toward Node. Kuei-jin may know. Kim Vachon (Euthanatos infiltrator) wants Jade Demon dead — patient wildcard. Full sideplot: vampire/Chicago by Night/Overview/Sideplots/Chinatown-Sideplot.md |
| Sabbat assessment deadline RESOLVED | D054/D055: Lodin demand for 72-hour Sabbat assessment. D056: Delivered verbally to Lodin at Prudential Building. Full pack intel: Bach (leader), Creole woman (operations/Serpent of the Light), Blood Brothers x3 (Sanguinus shock troops), 2 ghouls. Lodin satisfied with intel quality. RESOLVED — replaced by Thread 41 (Sabbat hunt assignment). |
| Opera Saturday Feb 9 — COMPLETE | COMPLETE D055. Auditorium Theatre, Saturday Feb 9, ~19:30-23:30. Blood Bond (WW2101) Scene 1 location. Convergent hooks executed: (1) Critias gave Darius opera tickets at Faculty Club. (2) Nicolai tasked Tomás + coterie as observers. Both agendas intersected. Bach’s Sabbat pack crashed opera. Coterie fought on Critias’s side. Critias engaged Bach (Protean claws + Majesty). Bach took 11 levels aggravated damage, retreated. Jefferson Foster freed (staked 24 years). Masquerade breach. Police responded. Scene 2 next (Lodin’s forced blood toast, Mon-Tue Feb 11-12). |
| Jefferson Foster — freed Kindred | NEW D055. Freed from theatre wall during combat. Staked for 24 years. Identity unknown to coterie beyond name “Jefferson.” By whom and why unknown. Frenzy upon waking, calmed by coterie. Obfuscated and disappeared. Disposition: +1 toward coterie (grateful). Future contact/identity unknown. Track for resurrection. |
| Hessler disposal | NEW D055. Brad Hessler (mortal, CbN Anywhere #8 “A Friend In Need”) shot in back of head by Sable during opera. Body dumped Sanitary Canal. .38 round from Hessler’s killing dug out of theatre wall and pocketed. Bleach cleanup executed. If discovered, evidence chain leads to coterie haven. Hessler had no conscious memory of Darius’s Command (pre-scene D054). Low immediate threat but remains loose end. |
| Machinist disposal | NEW D055. Victim #92 (Unemployable, Choleric) brought to haven. Drained and killed by Tomás via feeding (full BP drain = death). Body dumped Sanitary Canal. No visible wounds (lick marks sealed by Durance). Lower disposal risk than Hessler. |
| Sabbat hunt assignment | NEW D056. Lodin ordered coterie to find and produce Bach’s pack leader. Critias assigned as tactical liaison. Open-ended deadline. Coterie divided research: Tomás→chantry library (Blood Brothers/Sanguinus), Sable→Brennon/Succubus Club (movement intel), Darius→Critias Thursday (Sabbat tactics). Weekly reports to Neally. |
| Jefferson Foster identity | NEW D056. Lodin noted 1967 renovation date, called entombment “a personal matter.” Coterie flagged Emily Carter (“she looked at us like she was shopping”). Jefferson’s plan in motion offscreen. Identity and motive unknown to coterie. |
| Coterie fault lines | NEW D057. ESCALATED. Tomás’s dual loyalty exposed during Grand Elusion. Attempted to stake Ehrich against Sable’s consensus plan. Tremere Code demands obedience to hierarchy above all else. Coterie Pact (consensus + disclosure) structurally incompatible with Tremere institutional loyalty. First combat test of integration. How can the pact survive Tomás’s mandatory subordination to the Pyramid? Weight 2x. TACTIC NOTE: Sable’s Exceptional Yes redirected staking outcome, maintaining group cohesion. Integration question remains unresolved. |
| Herbalist assignment (Chinatown) | NEW D059. Chuc Luc gave Darius sealed envelope + assignment: visit herbalist at Wentworth and Cermak (green awning), present envelope as introduction. Herbalist will examine tunnel map and identify what’s missing. Report findings to Chuc Luc. Connected to Threads 35/36 (Kuei-jin/Jade Demon). Chuc Luc’s awareness of tunnel anomaly suggests deeper Capone intelligence on underground threats. |
| Becky (child Kindred) | NEW D060. Recently Embraced (~8yo, 3 days dead), Neally’s unauthorized childe. Encountered by Darius on Halsted. Led him to St. Brigid’s orphanage. Trusted Darius under Awe. Delivered to Lodin’s custody at Prudential Building. Fate unknown. “The Prince thanks you for your diligence.” Siring ban violated (18 years). Humanity cost: Darius 7→6. |
| Neally 30-Day Window | NEW D063. Lodin deniable mission: if Neally Edwards is “functional and unbound within thirty days, I will consider the debt settled favorably.” Deadline: Mar 5 - Apr 4, 1991. Neally requested audience to propose Creation Rite (Sabbat ritual to sever Bond, requested by name Cole). Lodin’s operational mission framed deniably to coterie. Weight 2 (major obligation, limited timeline). Secondary to Sabbat hunt assignment but connected (if Neally severs Bond through Sabbat ritual = internal security risk). |
| Klondike Vials Hunt | NEW D063 placeholder. Fires after Sable’s Milwaukee return. Weight 1 (awaiting trigger). Likely related to Carna’s Pasteur notes + ritual framework for bond-breaking. Depends on Sable coordinating Allicia meeting + Carna discovery sequence. |
Sable
| Thread | Weight | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Payne family threat | 3x | ESCALATED. Sharon IN CHICAGO (proxy: Halloran → Warwick → law firm). Michael absent — in Gary or Chicago? Blood bonded to Sharon. Mutual feud but mutual vengeance. |
| Annabelle’s patronage | 2x | DEEPENED D037. Warned Annabelle about 3 Ballard property attacks. Annabelle owes Sable significantly (+3). Brennon contact established (+1). S044: Delivered Drummond intel (Lakeshore Meridian Partners, Judge Metz). Annabelle received before 11 PM. |
| Succubus Club politics | 2x | ADVANCING. Labyrinth explored. Brennon met. Critias engaged. Club rhythms mapped. S042: Sophia restored to +3 (intimacy after dressing room feed). S044: Critias +3 (Game briefing, faculty club invite Thu). |
| Blood Bond steps | 2x | ACTIVE. Darius Step 1 Menele. Lodin forced bond pending. Allicia carryover. |
| Allicia bond-breaking (remote) | 2x | ACTIVE. D057: Ehrich (Tremere rogue, captured at Succubus Club) interrogated by Tomás. Ehrich’s bond-breaking method confirmed UNREPEATABLE (Sabbat-assisted, took 4 years, unknown mechanism). Carna in Milwaukee remains ONLY viable path. Road narrower and longer than hoped. Thread advanced but path unchanged. Carna coordination timing: months in Milwaukee needed. |
| Ballard’s counterattack | 2x | CLOSED. S044 COMPLETE. Sable turned Drummond. Lakeshore Meridian Partners intel delivered to Annabelle before 11 PM. Ballard’s Case clock 5/6 → 6/6 CLOSED. Ballard’s counterattack threat neutralized (objective achieved). |
| Lodin’s return | 2x | ACTIVE. Behind closed doors since Primogen session. Neally chairing Wednesday. Anarchs reading weakness. |
| Denise Price — the mother | 2x | ADVANCING S038. Bordruff deal closed — Khalid’s team will remove tunnel scout before reaching 718. Timeline TBD (Bordruff’s call). Coop still deployed. FBI canvassing ongoing. Clock should tick 2/6 when removal confirmed. |
| Ghoul management (remote) | 1x | ACTIVE. DeShawn, Pete at Kendrick’s. Coop DEPLOYED to Robert Taylor (S036). Spoon home. 3 BP/month. Distance = decay risk. |
| Cover story under scrutiny | 1x | OPEN. App 5 memorable. Critias engaged both PCs — profile raised. |
| Anarch unrest | 1x | ADVANCING. Gengis +1. Maldavis +1. Succession talk (Maldavis as candidate). South Side displacement. |
| Hunter pressure | 1x | ADVANCING D053. Standdown encountered + wiped. Shepard (FBI, dormant). Society of Leopold Chicago cell fully mapped + neutralized (Sayles/Tomba Dominated, Herdon Entranced). Dane pipeline exposed: “independent-friendly,” quarterly bulletins, Oct 1990 Gary report. Post-hypnotic suggestion planted: recall/tribunal Dane. Sable framed Dane as liability to his own organization. |
| Drummond’s gratitude + railroad | 1x | OPEN. Elder Ventrue owes Sable. Ledger maps Ballard’s freight. Pipeline implications for Chuc Luc. |
| Sir Henry alliance | 1x | DEEPENED S037. Reciprocal trade completed (Gary for Drake). Coached Sable on Wednesday strategy. Advised re Sophia repair. S044: Escorted Sable unprompted, walked her through Rack, named Dimitri, arranged exit. Disp +1 → +2. |
| Tamoszius alliance | 1x | NEW S034. 90yr Ballard-watcher. Info exchange deal. Independent Toreador intel channel. |
| Tomás Navarro — Tremere contact | 1x | Met S033. Operational potential. Analyst, not operator. |
| Gengis Thursday meeting | 1x | CONFIRMED D041. Weekly Thursday meeting in Labyrinth. Double game with Brennon. Gengis +2 from D038 Wolf Pack intel. D054: Brewery scene (compressed) — Gengis defined Anarch vs Sabbat distinction: “Sabbat say Beast is freedom. Strip away Humanity, you don’t get free. You get a dog.” Anarchs won’t fight for Lodin but will fight for neighborhoods. Strategic intel. Disposition remains +2. |
| Critias faculty club Thursday | 1x | STANDING D040 + ESCALATED S044. Critias faculty club 9 PM Thursday Jan 31 (Darius attended D040, Critias +2→+3). Sable invited S044. Brewery after 10. Both PCs able to attend. D045: Sable did not attend (Player of Pawns complete, Dimitri destroyed). |
| Player of Pawns — Scene 5 complete | 2x | COMPLETE D045. Critias briefing S044 on the Game structure loaded Scene 5. Sable context: Darva + Paulov hunting her, Dimitri orchestrating. OUTCOME: Dimitri destroyed via diablerie (Critias intervened, held frenzy). Rolf/Paulov/Darva ordered out of Chicago. Sable profile raised but mission succeeded. Scale: controlled. Major Boon owed by Critias (not called in). Adventure closed. |
| Sabbat incursion (tunnel scout + pack) | 2x | ADVANCING D053. Bordruff deal: scout removal in progress. Route map obtained. SECOND ELEMENT: Bach’s rogue Sabbat pack operating above ground — killed Michael (Gary Malkavian) in coterie’s Pilsen domain, Serpent of the Light ritual trophy. Pack of 4-5, Creole-speaking woman. Reported to Neally + Nicolai. Two-track threat: underground scout + above-ground pack. Advance dressing for Blood Bond adventure. |
| Bordruff / Nosferatu contact | 1x | ESTABLISHED S038. Deal closed. Scout removal in progress. One open question owed to Bordruff within calendar year (off-books, unwitnessed). Bordruff -1 — transactional, sees Sable’s access as potentially temporary. |
| Methuselah War | HIDDEN | Helena vs Menele. Coterie = unwitting Menele proxies. Portia at Succubus Club. Tunnel routes north may connect to Club foundations. S044: Game revealed — Sable now aware of broader chess game around her. D046/S045: Sable supported Darius’s Brennon play. No new Methuselah intel. Thread carries. |
| Fundamental Differences (Coleman + Brennon) | NEW D046/S045 | Published adventure (Succubus Club 1E). Joint scene with Darius. COMPLETE in one session. Outcome: Coleman to Gary (not killed). Brennon disposition +2 → +3 (both PCs). Sable vomit vitae approach succeeded (Dex boost 1 BP cost). Masquerade clean. Thread closed. Brennon now commited to formal status advocacy with Lodin. |
| Annabelle as clan guarantor | NEW D047/S046 | Annabelle formally claimed Sable as clan guarantor during formal coterie presentation. Political statement: Toreador patronage, implicit protection, complicated boon dynamics. Sable now publicly bound to Annabelle through clan standing, not just disposition. Changes political weather around Sable (Sharon cannot attack without crossing Annabelle, Helena may recalibrate). Disposition remains +3 but stakes shifted. |
| Opera Saturday Feb 9 | NEW D054 | Auditorium Theatre, Saturday Feb 9, evening. Darius received opera tickets from Critias at Faculty Club. Blood Bond (WW2101) Scene 1 location. Convergent with Nicolai’s separate observation order. Sable likely to attend as coterie member. Scene structure pending GM prep. Potential for Sabbat encounter, hunter surveillance, Lodin interest. |
| Coterie fault lines | NEW D057 | ESCALATED. Tomás’s dual loyalty exposed during Grand Elusion. Attempted to stake Ehrich against Sable’s consensus plan. Tremere Code demands obedience to hierarchy above all else. Coterie Pact (consensus + disclosure) structurally incompatible with Tremere institutional loyalty. First combat test of integration. How can the pact survive Tomás’s mandatory subordination to the Pyramid? Weight 2x. TACTIC NOTE: Sable’s Exceptional Yes redirected staking outcome, maintaining group cohesion. Integration question remains unresolved. |
| Magi encounter (Orloff/Gibson) | NEW D057 | Mortal magical practitioners at Succubus Club. Orloff (telekinetic Magus, 26yo) and Gibson (82yo senile, Ehrich’s old friend). Orloff armed with telekinetic knife, detained at Club. Gibson extracted clean through Brennon’s back corridor. Territorial agreements between Kindred and Magi now relevant. Orloff’s theft motivations (silver chalice) unknown. Gibson’s role (Sabbat contact?) unclear. Thread for future Magi interaction + territorial negotiations. |
