Richard Clarke (1421)
Richard Clarke
9th Generation Tremere
Guard and Sire to Michael Phillips
Your first memories as an undead are traumatic. You were walking your normal guard duty deep in the cellars of London Tower, when you passed an area where the French were being held. The puddles of water you normally walked through became red with blood, and by the time you looked up, you’d been had. Needing an ally, the prisoner killed and embraced you. You led him out of the prison, but after a week your sire was killed in an ambush set up by Ventrue. It turns out that the Tremere were hunted – blamed in part for the plague that was besetting London. You quickly fled the city and over the next 6 months, made your way to Dublin. That town was also wracked with the plague (it lost 1/3 of its population), but it was easier to remain hidden. You quickly embraced someone to keep you company and enlist as an ally, he was a ‘nobody’ named Michael Phillips.
Until about 20 years ago, the two of you had to lie low, staying out of Ventrue sight. At that time Sarra Brennan was able to slay the head of the city. That started a two-year clan war, with the Tremere able to force a truce and Sarra in control of Dublin.
5 years ago, you and Phillips attached to Lord Moyglare. He arrived from England under the orders of Henry V to take command of Norman Ireland. Well, the Irish – Toreador Irish, control Norman Ireland. And a Cappadocian fool controls Moyglare. If you two could somehow get Moyglare to listen to you, then maybe you could accomplish something worthwhile.
Recently, in mundane affairs, a plague has struck Dublin. People are falling left and right from it, and the root of it is in the water that feeds the northern part of town. The Irish in the countryside have watched their fields grow barren. No one knows why. This has had two unpleasant side effects for you: blood is more difficult to come by and the Malkavian Irish have been entering Dublin bent on destroying the food storage. Phillips has urged Moyglare to organize a raiding party into the countryside, but he refuses to listen. You appealed to Sarra to do something.
After a few days, she informed you that there was going to be a meeting of the English and Irish in Dun Boyne. More than that, additional measures had been taken to stop the plague and famine, for the good of everyone. The meeting is going to be a festival – dance and joust – designed to allow the leaders of the Irish and English to work out a food for water deal.
This meeting presents you with a number of grand opportunities. First, you can single out and extract revenge on a few Ventrue. You can find out what Sarra meant by “additional measures” and how she set up this meeting. You might even be able to usurp her power under the right conditions. Phillips seems particularly eager to kick some Malkavian ass, but you have no idea who they are, so finding them and formulating a plan is also a priority…So many things, so little time…one does what one can.
What is this?
