Report File - Twilight
St Louis, Missouri 11/15/03

Operations successful, no one questioned origin or lineage, city has chaotic management.

Ventrue management following Marlo Chase's export was short-lived. Andrea Donaghy, too young maybe, too idealistic to manage the rigors of administration. A few decisions questioned, outright hostility noted by the residents, some who had been here for a long period...since the seige of 2001 (See Zoe Grey). Andrea resigned efficiently, disappeared for a few weeks, reappeared and was pronounced destroyed a short time later - circumstances suspicious.

Sabbat activity neutralized on the east side, concerns to masquerade minimal. Administration focused on trivialities, rather than the big picture. Attention placed on concerns of status and domain, organizing large hunting packs to neutralize sabbat. The cracking infrastructure of the entire sect goes ignored (I wonder if it is the same in other cities).

Nathan Atkinson, former seneschal, takes praxis after Andrea's resignation. He makes very few appearances, and no administrative decisions noted at this point, though he seems to have withheld some of Andrea's less popular decisions, presumably out of convience. Ex: All parties and gatherings are to be considered elysium-temporary for the duration of the party. The enforcement of the policy is unclear.

Giovanni seems to have gone entirely underground, I've only heard of one in the city, Jade. No other information beyond that.

Setites hold a base (Kimia Lounge), bolstered by the disillusioned residents during Andrea's reign. Their numbers and settlement in the city may suggest an entry point, if the rumors of Set's resurrection are to be believed.

Clanless population healthy (and growing), for a short duration a Caitiff (Tony) held the position of sheriff, status high enough during that time to presumably make a bid for praxis. The man lacked ambition for such, and resigned as sheriff a short time after Andrea resigned. Havyn, childe of the anathema Bukowski, childe of Elena Hawkley, has managed a stay of execution, guided by my hand. She remains as part of the clanless, monitored closely for ascension. It is uncertain whether her status as a caitiff qualifies for fulfillment of prophecy, since her lineage is known.

Tremere secretive, even with the Tremere Prince, their activities remain well guarded. What are they up to?

Ventrue not likely to recover from the loss of a slew of elders: Marlo Chase, Elena Hawkley, Andrea Donaghy, Jaxon Walsh, Bukowski. Algernon serves as primogen, weak and ineffective. In fact, the entire structure usually holding the camarilla together seems to be absent, council members, primogen and princes change regularly.

Toreador maintain a presence in numbers, with some small cohesion and adherance to form and protocol, though unlikely to balance the other elements that pull the city toward chaos. Zoe Gray, one of the older residents of the city had a brief sojourn as an outcast, which was reversed once Donaghy was evicted.

Nosferatu are unseen, likely non-existant but hard to confirm. The only nosferatu i've seen pretends at being a Toreador. Information network failure.

Malkavians are high in number, maintaining a cohesive force(?) in opposition to the chaos. A noteable development, all things considered. Murdoch and Julius tightly knit, the rest (including myself) are satellites, though supporting of the mini-structure.

Brujah - have changed primogen three times since I've been here, a fourth is imminent. It is not expected they will bear arms should the need arise.

One Lasombra, of the antitribe variety. He seems to be in the middle of some odd love triangle with Zoe, and a Ventrue called Seth. Significance of the name, maybe? The children of seth...
