Laurence Doyle (1421)

Laurence Doyle
Ghoul of Sarra Brennan

Almost two decades ago, the gang wars of Dublin broke out. You, like most people, hid out in your flat during the evening. One rainy night, a young woman pounded on your door. She was covered in blood and scared, so you let her in.

You gave her some privacy while she cleaned up, and gave her a dress that some lass had left at your place to replace the one she was wearing. You saw an opportunity for some action, and decided to take advantage of the situation. You offered to share your last bottle of table wine with her, and she accepted. As you drank your glass, it tasted like the wine had gone bad. Since Sarra seemed to be enjoying hers, you weren’t about to complain. You passed out after the first glass.

It turns out that she was the slayer of the vampiric ruler of Dublin, and that the gang wars were actually clan wars between Ventrue and Tremere. You were made the ghoul of the Tremere leader. After two years of hell on the streets of Dublin, your side prevailed. 18 years have passed since then, and now Sarra and her “husband” Henry are one of the power couples of Dublin.

Recently, the uneasy peace in Dublin has been rocked. A plague is affecting Dublin, and Sarra seems to know who is behind it. She has been working the network of vampires to arrange a meeting in Dun Boyne this weekend between the English and Irish elite. Ostensibly, the English will be trading barley from Wales for water from Ireland. The reality is that Sarra is using this weekend to single out the responsible parties for the recent changes in Dublin. You and her entourage are going this weekend to the “social event”.

After 18 years as a ghoul to Sarra, things are getting tiring. You have worked relentlessly under her command, patiently waiting to be embraced. It appears that she is never going to do it, and the time has come to find a new master. You suspect Sarra’s other ghoul, Peter Knowlan, feels the same. Henry has shown undying faith in Sarra, so he isn’t a good candidate. You know some of the Ventrue will be at this event, so maybe it is time to switch sides…The two problems with that are: the Ventrue hate you and Sarra can never find out your intentions.

Sarra will be looking to you for protection, as usual. If you can arrange a deal with another Clan before the shit hits the fan, then you can wait until just the right moment to seek vengeance for all those years of being taken for granted. It would be grand if everything could go against her AND you could gain your immortality in the process.

What is this?
