The Club of the Damned

History
Destiny
François Villon: Prince of Paris
![]() |
Villon knows about this Coterie. Ambitious but somewhat fractured, it could be a good mercenary group, and as such could be quite dangerous. So, he keep good relations with Marlène as much as he can, at least, to know what they are doing...
What do you think about:
Constance: She seems to be quite fond of her little "army". She would be surprised... |
Constance: Duchess of the Daughters of Cacophony
![]() |
Constance is perhaps the only official Mentor of the Coterie, as she supports it fully. She uses the Coterie as her own firepower. She does not know that Katarzyna and Labienus have their own interests in it.
What do you think about:
François Villon: My Prince seems quite interested in my pet army... |
Katarzyna: The Mentor
![]() |
Katarzyna took secretly this Coterie as her pet interest, stealthily protecting them, no matter the Clan. Sometimes, she use them as her mercenary at not cost. A other times; she provide them with information, as well as ressources.
What do you think about:
François Villon: The Toreador Puppet Master. I know about his intrigues to assert his control over the Coterie. My luck is that he must fight Labienus for this... |
![]() |
As with everything in Paris, Labienus tries to assert at least a little influence in it. By supporting the Ventrue member of the Coterie, he hopes to reach his aim. The fact is that Villon tries to do the same thing with the Toreador, so Labienus does not care if the Ventrue is a legitimist. After all, it's a Ventrue Tradition to help each other...
What do you think about:
François Villon: The Prince of Paris tries to have his degenerate fingers over everything. He must be stopped. |
Emeline: La Provinciale
![]() |
Emeline joined the Coterie to avoid being vulnerable among the parisian Kindred. She knows about her nickname, and hope to win enough prestige with the Coterie to change it. She also knows that her position as a ''Beaut�'' makes her more vulnerable, even in her own Clan. So she support the idea of a second Toreador Duc.
What do you think about:
François Villon: Despite his smile and charming ways, I know he despises me for not being an Artist. I know his kind. |
Marlène: The Power Beind The Leader
![]() |
Marlène is quite happy with the Coterie. She knows she has as much support as a leader as Olivier himself, and she has more charm. She is quite content to let him make decision, just to either slightly contradict him if she sees a weakness, of if the plan fails. While this gives her a role of "enlightened councilor", she does care only about real power, not apparent one. Olivier does seem to have problems to see the difference...
What do you think about:
François Villon: I know why Villon helps me so. I won't forget it. |
Michel: The Club's Bodyguard
![]() |
For Michel, the Club of the Damned (what a silly name, isn't it?) has at least one virtue: He is not the most visible of its members, and as such, does not attract attention. And should someone take interest in him, Michel still would be protected by the Coterie's raw numbers. To work for them, and smile at the right moment, and avoid scratching his ears at others is a small price to pay for this kind of protection... And some members are cool, anyway.
What do you think about:
François Villon: Arch-Master. To powerful to bite. So for now, I keep myself under the radar. |
Olivier: The Leader
![]() |
Olivier is the uncontested leader of the Club of the Damned. Or he would like to be the uncontested leader. But this Torerador bitch always twart his intrigues. Anyway, her devious way does not change a thing: Even if his status is contested, he remains the leader.
What do you think about:
François Villon: Smile as long as you can, usurper... |
Pedro: "Qui �a?" (i.e.: "Who?")
![]() |
Pedro remembers only slightly he joined the Club, but can't remember why. Still, he likes the company of these people. So, why don't make the better of it as long as possible.
What do you think about:
François Villon: I don't like him. Someone can't reach this position without killing someone. |
