Philadelphia

 City of Brotherly Love

Philadelphia was the first city in the New World to have its own Prince. It was also the first city in the United States to fall to the Sabbat. Shortly after New York was lost to the Sabbat in the late nineteenth century, the Camarilla regrouped and took Philadelphia, led by the legendary Malkavian Justicar Benedict, the same Justicar who led the retaking of New York nearly 100 years later.
Since that retaking in 1900, Richard Lionheart of the Ventrue has been Prince, relatively unopposed.

Philadelphia has 17 street influence which are considered relevant for any issue you may be pursuing here.

Notable Kindred:

  • Anastasia

    The city’s newest elder, she runs the Toreador clan and has become very influential in a short period of time. Known to have the ear of both Prince Lionheart and Isaac Templeton. Sits on the Primogen.

  • Bellamy

    Bellamy is the most active Anarch in Pittsburgh, having been blood hunted by Richard Lionheart and forced out. His influence is still active in the city, notably propigated by Brandon and Glory. Got into a legendary fight with his sire, Isaac Templeton, and fled. Came back to the city in 1993 and got blood hunted the next day. A very intense rivalry exists between Bellamy and Templeton.

  • Brandon

    A relatively quiet Anarch, he is known to actively support Bellamy while trying to avoid the limelight.

  • Carter

    The city’s most active Nosferatu, the Nosferatu of Philadelphia are rumored to be Lionheart’s pawns.

  • Clinton

    A prominent Brujah and Templeton’s most active supporter. Controls a sizable chunk of the city’s street gangs. Only been in Philly less than ten years. The fact that *she* happens to be named after the current president doesn't do her temper much good -- she hates Lewinsky jokes.

  • Elias Todorovich

    The city’s Tremere elder and Chairman of its four member Primogen.

  • Glory

    Brandon’s most vociferous progeny. Very angry, very threatening. If anyone fits the true definition of Nihilist, it just might be Glory.

  • Gunnar

    Glory’s progeny and street gang leader. Generally regarded as a loser neonate.

  • Isaac Templeton

    Isaac Templeton is a very well known Anarch philosopher. Clearly the city’s Brujah elder as well as its most prominent Anarch. Has taken serious criticism for his ability to get along with the rest of the establishment. Recently accepted a seat on the city’s Primogen, supposedly to “provide another viewpoint”. His feuds and fights with Bellamy are legendary.

  • Morpheus

    Morpheus is a Brujah who generally spends his time in and around Scranton, but has been known to visit the bigger cities now and then.

  • Nix

    The city’s Nosferatu elder, he hasn’t been seen in awhile.

  • Penn

    One of the Todorovich’s senior apprentices in the Tremere Chantry.

  • Richard Lionheart

    The Ventrue Prince of Philadelphia. While he will almost certainly not be seen here tonight, his omnipresence will certainly be felt.

  • Trystan

    A local Gangrel, not actively seen in Philadelphia. The Nosferatu are known to want to pick his brain.
